DITCH REPORT:

Rex reported that he had written a letter to Pioneer Ditch stating that when the ditch broke, due to flood damage in September at Dan Ruff’s house, it was never repaired by the Ditch Company.   The ditch is still overflowing its banks and is damaging the improvements made to the driveway at 255 Cassidy Drive.  The culvert and driveway work done last fall are being washed out by the overflowing ditch water.  Rex reported that Couch’s dITCH was repaired last year after the flood damage.  There has been no response to Rex’s e-mail at this time from the Pioneer Ditch.

OLD BUSINESS:

• Discussion on Amendments to the CCR’s.  The revisions were made from the last meeting and a brief discussion on any other amendments for consideration prior to adoption by the membership was reviewed.  The Board hopes to have the final for the next meeting.

 

NEW BUSINES:

• Connie Eckerman had sent an e-mail asking the Board of Directors approval to have agility equipment set up for dogs to run thru the course.  She belongs to the Durango Kennel Club and stated that it would run from June 19^th thru about the end of July, six weeks.  After a brief discussion it was agreed that the Board did not need to give approval and that Connie could proceed as she wishes.  Her request was appreciated by the Board even though there was no requirement to be met and that it was a very nice idea.
• Marijuana Greenhouse Complaint at 127 Cassidy Drive – After reviewing the covenants it was agreed that there are no regulations for the HOA to enforce with regard to greenhouses other than setback requirements.  Jack will go by and check to be sure it meets the setback requirements.  He will also get with the County on what their policy is with regard to growing marijuana in the County. (how many plants, license, etc.)

 

METRO. DISTRICT UPDATE:

• Water System – Jack reported that the distribution project is moving very slowly with the Basic Design Plan in process.  There is lots of water and the system is running smoothly.  The compliance filters were changed and looked really good for having been in use for 15 months.    There is no definite timeline on the project at this time.
• Roads – Magnesium Chloride application was done by Bonds Construction.  Weed spraying will be done by Premier Weed along the roadways and common areas mid-June.

There being no other business the meeting adjourned at 8:34 PM.
