Clean Up
The district is asking residents to clean the curb gutter and street in front of your homes (and side of homes if on a corrner) to help prevent clogging storm drains. Whether you have alot or a little, it all adds up. The semi-annual street cleaning won't happen until early November and we are likely going to have some further heavy rainstorms. Thank you to all the residents who have already cleaned up!
Road Right of Way
Residents need to maintain the district Right of Way which extends 10-15 feet from the curbline into their property. See district Right of Way (ROW) policy for details. This means when landscaping, residents should not put any structures, fences, retaining walls, large boulders, new trees, etc .
Check Your Bill And Mail Early
Many residents have had water overage charges this summer. Others may still have late fees on their bill that haven't been paid or even a credit. Please take an extra minute to look at your next bill and adjust your next payment to reflect the actual amount due. For those mailing their checks, you should mail it by the 24th to make sure it makes it in time to get to our POB by the 4th and not charged a late fee. Remember mail goes to Albuquerque and then back to Durango. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about your bill.
No Parking on Streets
Parking on District streets is prohibited anytime under Resolution 2004-03, It is a safety hazard as we do not have sidewalks in the subdivision. Additionally, it seriously impedes our maintenance efforts. Residents and overnight guests need to park vehicles including RVs in your private driveways and off the street.
Respect Property Owners Along Trails and Wildlife
We remind residents to be respectful of property owners along all trails. This includes not talking loudly, picking up dog poop, putting your dog on leash so the dog doesn't run onto private property, and in general being aware of where you are and respectful of others.
Next Board Meeting is: Wednesday, October 16th at 5 p.m. at the Mail Building
