The 2020 Annual Assessments for Beaver Springs Ranch Association (BSRA) have all been sent out as of today. Many were sent via email this year thanks to the many Members who provided their email addresses. If you have not received it by email and provided your email address, please check your spam folder or other mail folders before contacting us. Otherwise, keep an eye on your mailbox this week.
When using your bank’s bill pay service, please note that the bank will withdraw your payment as soon as they print the check. It has nothing to do with BSRA receiving or cashing the check. Some bill pay services allow you to be notified when the check is cashed. Also, make sure your delivery address is updated to our current Post Office Box: PO Box 762, Oakley, UT 84055-0762. Please consult with your bank for assistance with bill pay.
We will send reminders via email to those Association members whom we have not yet received payment from as the due date draws nigh. We are not able to respond to payment receipt verification requests until after the reminders have been sent.
Finally, here is the 2020 President’s Annual Report which includes the 2019 Annual Meeting minutes and 2019 Budget report. We will send out information for the 2020 Annual Meeting in the next few months.
A reminder to Cool Springs shareholders – the yearly invoice payment is due this Friday, January 31st. Late fees of $25 will be added next week. If you have any questions, please email Nan Kemp at nan.kemp@comcast.net (do not copy email address; you must type it as seen here).
A reminder that if you are travelling off the roads at BSR, you are trespassing unless you are on your own property.
We are seeing a lot of tracks crossing the edges of properties and some cutting entirely through properties for a little powder joy. This damages young aspens struggling to grow and replace our dying mature trees. Our trees our struggling enough without snowmobiles driving over them. Stay on the roads!
Just a few days ago, we also had a few joyriders decide to traverse the hillside above Little Dipper (photo below). One of them got in quite a pickle. Took he and several of his friends over an hour to get the machine unstuck. The group barely managed to get going before it got dark. This group was clearly trespassing.
Your invoices for 2020 are in the mail, and payment is due by January 31st. Please note that all invoices have been mailed; none will be emailed. If you have questions, or if you have had a change of address in the last year and not notified Cool Springs, please contact me at: nan.kemp@comcast.net.
It is the responsibility of each and every Association Member to ensure their guests (including contractors) are aware when Winter Restrictions are in effect and what that means. We have had a few violations this week which are causing issues for others travelling the roads.
A reminder that winter road restrictions are in effect any time the winter restrictions sign is posted on the gate. This is done when the snow or ice accumulation is significant enough to make travel on BSR roads hazardous. During winter restrictions, onlysnow vehicles—such as snowmobiles, snow cats, and ATVs—are permitted past the BSR gate. This is a requirement of anyone passing through the gate; whether a Beaver Springs Ranch property owner or any of the neighbors to our north who also use the BSR gate. Cars, trucks, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are not permitted until restrictions are lifted. Even if you see car tracks going past the gate, this does not mean it is okay for you to drive in. This is for everyone’s safety.
We reserve the right to levy a fine to any Association Member found to be in connection with a violation of the Winter Restrictions.
Winter road restrictions are now in effect. The winter restrictions sign is posted on the gate and only snow vehicles (snowmobiles, snow cats, ATVs, and the like) are permitted on BSR roads. Cars, trucks, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are not permitted until restrictions are lifted in the Spring.
For more information about Winter Restrictions, please see our Jack Frost at BSR post.
Winter is fast approaching and has hit BSR pretty hard twice already this Fall making it difficult to drive in and out. We hope you’ve already done any necessary winterizing. We highly recommend four-wheel drive vehicles only until the snow and ice from the recent storms melts off.
Winter Restrictions will go into effect soon–typically around Thanksgiving (plus or minus a week). We won’t know for sure when until the snow stops melting, but we will give as much notice as possible. Please use caution at all times and evaluate the weather and conditions before you enter BSR.
What does “Winter Restrictions” mean? Winter road restrictions are in effect any time the winter restrictions sign is posted on the gate. This is done when the snow or ice accumulation is significant enough to make travel on BSR roads hazardous. During winter restrictions, only snow vehicles—such as snowmobiles, snow cats, and ATVs—are permitted past the BSR gate. Cars, trucks, and 4-wheel drive vehicles are not permitted until restrictions are lifted. Even if you see car tracks going past the gate, this does not mean it is okay for you to drive in. This is for everyone’s safety. We’ve had people in the past who disobey the restrictions and end up blocking the road at the bottom of the gated hill.
It is the responsibility of every Association Member to ensure their guests are aware when Winter Restrictions are in effect and what that means. We had a few non-snow vehicles go into BSR last winter by guests. Most required assistance to get out. We hope anyone who received assistance has treated their rescuers with a giant gift basket for helping them out of their sad blunder. 😉
The river bank along Morehouse Road has been repaired and the road has been returned to normal access. Special thanks to Mr. Eskelson for his work and Ms. Crosswhite for allowing owners along Morehouse to use her driveway for access in the meantime.
