The chipper came to BSR as planned on July 10th, but their preliminary scouting of the work showed them we had much more to be chipped than they could do in one day. The county has scheduled the chipper to return to BSR on July 22.

Gate Update
The vendor is still working out the kinks of the gate. The past three days there has been intermittent success. We did access the cameras last night to find that the gate failed on its own. However, if you see someone misuse the gate please report it to the Board or try to take the opportunity for a polite teaching moment. We will continue to update you all on the progress. New signs and detailed instructions soon to come.
Chipper Coming July 10
The chipper is scheduled to come to BSR on July 10.
Intermittent Gate Functionality
We are aware of intermittent issues with the gate functionality and have been working with our contractor to get it fixed. If you find the gate open, please do not push it closed! Doing so may cause damage.
Our gate contractor is continuing work on the gate. They are replacing some parts which will hopefully arrive next week. They have never had an issue like this before and are unsure what has caused it. We want to emphasize the importance of NOT messing with the gate when it is working, or trying to force it open. We reserve the right to fine or prosecute anyone found to be disturbing the normal operations of the gate.
If you have a key card or fob, remember to hold it next to the keypad on the gate. Once it beeps and turns green the gate will begin to open within a few seconds.
Morehouse Road Restrictions
The barricades on Morehouse Road are up for safety reasons as the road is being eroded by the river. We ask that ONLY residents of Morehouse Road use it because they have been given special access through a resident’s driveway. There will be an announcement when it is fixed and available to everyone.
Community Social Picnic
Alicia O’Meara will host a community social picnic at her property on Weber Road, July 4, 4-6 PM. Just for fun. Come meet your neighbors! Some food and drinks will be provided, but please feel free to bring whatever it is you’d like to drink and eat.
Large Truck Restriction Lifted
The 2019 Spring annual road maintenance is complete. The restriction on large trucks and commercial vehicles has been lifted.
Survey of BSR Residents for Mail and Package Delivery
As discussed at the recent Beaver Springs Ranch Association Annual Meeting, the Oakley Post Office has made significant changes to their rural parcel delivery procedures. This has negatively impacted some residents. As a result of these changes the Upper Weber Canyon Property Owners Association, and the Pine Mountain Board are pursuing obtaining approval for rural delivery of United States Postal Service (USPS) mail and a delivery location for an Amazon drop box for the permanent residents of Upper Weber Canyon.
Utilizing rural mail delivery from the USPS would require a change of address from your current mail delivery location Oakley 84055, or other location, to a new Kamas 84036 location.
The Postal Survey will provide data from Beaver Springs Ranch regarding our interest in having USPS mail delivery to Upper Weber Canyon. We are providing the survey to all Beaver Springs Ranch residents for several reasons:
- If you are a part time resident but plan to become a full-time resident please complete the survey and make a note of your plans and when you think this will occur, approximately.
- If you are not a full-time resident, but you may want to receive packages while staying at Beaver Springs and utilize the facilities (other than USPS), please complete the survey making the appropriate notations.
- If you are a full-time resident and you receive mail delivery elsewhere, other than the Oakley Post Office. Please complete the survey and indicate if you would like to utilize the USPS facilities in Upper Weber Canyon.
Please complete our Postal Survey and return it to Debbi Fugal by Friday, June 21, 2019. You can send the information by email to dfugal@gmail.com; text a picture of your completed survey to her at 435-640-0376, or send it hard copy to:

Services Access Through Electronic Gate
If you have a service company that travels in or through Beaver Springs Ranch to service your property, please make sure they are aware we have changed the lock at the BSR Gate. We’re getting a number of calls from propane companies who have gone up to deliver propane to a customer and no longer have a way to get through the gate.
We are not always able to take calls immediately and it causes a lot of unnecessary delays for services when they discover the lock has changed upon arrival at the gate.
Please plan ahead! Ask your service agency if they have their own access through the gate when you contact them for service. If they do not, they should contact us at least a couple days (1-2 weeks, preferably) before they need to get in to BSR.
Unfortunately, we do not have records of all the services who had metal keys and have not been able to notify them all on our own. The following services have already been notified and have their own access:
- Summit County Sheriff
- South Summit Fire Protection
- Summit County (building inspections, etc.)
- Rocky Mountain Power
- All West Communications
- AmeriGas
- Suburban Propane
- T-7 Propane
- Utah LP Gas
- Ferrellgas
- Home Propane
- Preventive Pest Control
When you talk to your service company, please ask that they remind their drivers to follow our posted 10 MPH speed limit. We’ve had several over the years who have far exceeded the speed limit. For the safety of our neighborhood, problem companies may be denied access in the future.
Guidance for requesting temporary PINs for companies and contractors needing non-recurring, non-long term access to BSR is forthcoming.
Update 6/1/2019: Guidance for temporary PINs can now be found in our Gate FAQs.
MacKenzie Open
The damaged area on MacKenzie has dried out and firmed up. Thus, we have opened MacKenzie, but please be cautious of the damage between Fremont and Hoback. Two ruts are deep enough to swallow a small car! We put cones to the side of the road there to help raise awareness.
Road maintenance was not able to be accomplished this week due to weather. Crews will return soon as they can.
Four wheel drive is recommended for the steeper roads within BSR after rain. Large trucks are still prohibited.
