Request for payment and notice of intent to lien were previously sent to the homeowners with no response. WR continues to be in good fiscal standing. Thank you, Kathleen!
– 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.
– Numerous dog barking and dogs off leash complaints were received, reminder notices were sent to homeowners; in addition, reminders were also sent for extended on-site trailer parking, unapproved landscaping projects, and improper parking. Sharla also reminded everyone that Governor Polis signed a new law that made driving/riding OHVs on streets illegal. Please remember no ATVs, dirt bikes, etc., anywhere in the neighborhood.
– Design Review: Pete reported on the projects he and Wayne are currently overseeing. Thank you, both!
– Forestry (includes Firewise): Deborah reported that the May 1st ‘fire preparedness’ day in the common area was a success and that eight new homeowners attended. Thank you, Deborah, for all your planning and organizing! She also gave a shout out to four families who have done an awesome job of mitigating their properties and reporting their efforts on behalf of ‘firewise.’ Thank you, everyone!
– Please remember, that as you work in your yards removing slash, etc. (or have someone else do it), to keep track of time and costs; please submit the info to Deborah, forestry@wisslerranch.com, to document efforts for our annual firewise rating application.
