– Committee:
– Covenant Compliance: WR is a covenant-protected community and as such, residents are legally obligated to maintain compliance at all times. As a reminder, WR Rules, Policies, and Design Review Guidelines also require compliance.
– One homeowner has not paid their water reporting covenant violation fines and is now delinquent. In accordance with the WR collection policy, the collection process will start.
– Two covenant clarification/variance requests were received regarding exceeding the WR pet limit of no more than two dogs and two cats per lot; both were notified that variances would not be approved.
– Design Review: Pete reported on the projects he and Wayne are currently working and Wayne submitted a written synopsis. Thank you, both!
– Forestry (includes Fire Wise): Deborah reported on all the projects she is working on, including activities for National Community Preparedness day on May 1st. We appreciate your efforts to keep our properties healthy and our community Fire Wise approved.

– Neighborhood Watch: Jim discussed the ‘mail theft’ notice from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office. The targeted areas mentioned in the letter were near Hodgen and Black Forest; no incidents reported in WR, King’s Deer, Hawk Ridge, or Elk Creek. Jim reminded everyone to check their mailbox daily; a homeowner suggested taking outgoing mail to a PO or USPS drop box when possible. As a reminder, if you notice any suspicious activity, please contact the EPCSO immediately.

– Homeowner concerns:
– Jim received comments concerning snow removal around the mail kiosk and talked about previous unsuccessful attempts to hire reliable, consistent help. The Board will continue to pursue reasonable options.
– A homeowner reminded those in attendance that the county plows work on a priority schedule. Another homeowner mentioned that Wavy Oak, Twisted Pine, and Lockridge are Priority 2; County Line is Priority 1.
– Covenant Fine Cap Review for Water Violations:
– Tabled from Feb – there was much discussion on reporting deadlines and fine amounts. Due to the importance of the topic and the absence of one of the members, the Board voted to table the issues until next month.
