Alpine Acres is one of 10 fire wise communities in the state.

Chipper program will continue this year with the county.  Please pull any branches to association roads.  We were encouraged to be there to help the chipper crews so that more work can be accomplished per chipper visit.

Lot number signs can be built for about $5.00 each and be attached on the cabin or closer to the road which ever works best.

Follow Up Action Items – April 15, 2013 Board Items

The board shares the following list to be completed for all associate members: Message from the President:

Dear Alpine Acres board friends,

Thank you for a great annual meeting!  I appreciate the great teamwork.  A
hearty welcome to Patti and Spencer!

As with the past three years, I think it would e GREAT to “get the monkey
off our backs,” so to speak, early in the season so that we can report
back to everyone at the annual BBQ that many/all projects are completed or
at least under way.

SIGNS:  Individual cabin lot, gate lots, and repair/replace road signs
GATES:  Widen/repair/replace and universal combo lock
MAGNETS: For fridge ready-reference phone numbers
UPKEEP: Usual road gravel, bridge inspection, bulletin board, common area,
etc.

The shortest “to do” list we’ve had!  I have already contact Rick Osguthorpe regarding gates and upkeep bids. I spoke with Kevin Callahan of Summit County Public Works and he said
county road grating is at least once per year, and they wait until the  road is dry so their equipment doesn’t undo what they are trying to  accomplish.  He also said the plan is to definitely strive for having the
road cleared prior to memorial Day.

I spoke with Jack Marchant of Summit County Weed Mitigation regarding
mountain thistle and he said we can have a crew come up and spray big
areas and / or interested residents can pick up sprayers.

I also called Sergeant Wright to see if they have any more magnets with
important phone numbers already made.
Bill Pettigrew will have the contact information for cabin signs.

Sincerely,
David Pack

Annual Meeting — 2 Comments

  1. So glad to see that the chippers came by and removed our limb piles. We had 2 trees fall in the last 2 yrs. We needed this help. Thank you. It looks so much better.

  2. Thanks for being so prompt in getting the chipper this year! We had a micro-burst on our property and had a lot of downed trees, including one on our roof and one on our power line. Rocky Mountain power was very quick to respond and we were up and running in no time. Thanks!
