At the Annual Meeting, it was requested that we post contact information for various Summit County agencies. We have expanded the Contacts page to include the information which was not previously posted.

BSR Receives 2016 Firewise Community USA Recognition
BSR has again received recognition of our continuing efforts to provide homeowners and surrounding communities with improved wildfire defense. Thank you for your continuing efforts to make BSR safer and more attractive by cleaning up your properties and properly stacking dead-fall for the DNR chipping program.
A large part of our efforts is the Spring Cleanup event. Please see the 2017 Spring Cleanup post for more information on this event and details of stacking. We look forward to seeing everyone at the cleanup!
DNR will be back again this year to assist with chipping and beautification efforts. We will post dates as soon as we know, but we often don’t get notice more than the day of or day before.

Annual Road Maintenance
Annual road maintenance is planned to occur May 15–26, pending weather conditions. Maintenance will include culvert replacement/repair, road base, grading, and rolling. You may encounter heavy road machinery during the maintenance. Please use caution and respect any road restrictions which may be temporarily in place where work is in progress.
Board Write-in Candidates
We welcome and encourage anyone interested to run for board positions. This year we have two additional nominees for open board positions. These will have to be “write in” candidates because the annual meeting packet had been printed and mailed before information was received. Names and bios are below:
Steve Hunt
I am a retired business owner, and have owned property in Beaver Springs since 1981. Our cabin is a refuge for us, and we dearly love the time we spend there, although it always seems to end too soon. I served on the Association board for several years in the mid-80’s. I have time now, some skills, and I am willing to serve again.
Ed Nazarowitz
I am running for a position on the Beaver Springs Ranch Association Board.
I have been a full time resident of Beaver Springs since October of 2005. I have spent my adult life in community service as a volunteer fireman, a member of the US army, 25 years as a police officer, and most recently six years as a member of the Beaver Springs Board.
My governing philosophies are open and honest government responsible to the membership. I believe in physical responsibility and spending money that is necessary to maintain a safe and functioning Association and not spending money because we have it.
In closing numerous people know I am not afraid to get my hands dirty or break a sweat working for the association, or to assist a neighbor in need.
Main Gate Lock Change Notice
Winter gate restrictions have been lifted. The main gate lock has been changed.
Personal vehicles may be driven on the roads. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for the next couple weeks. Use caution as some roads may be muddy or have residual snow in a few areas. Mud Hill should be avoided.
TRUCKS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES ARE PROHIBITED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Be certain to always lock the main gate. Leaving it open compromises security for the entire BSR property.
UPDATE: The roads have dried out enough. Trucks and commercial vehicles are no longer restricted.
BSR Annual Meeting—Monday, May 8, 2017
The BSR Annual Meeting will be held Monday, May 8, 2017 beginning at 7:00pm. Meeting location is the same as last year: Murray Library, 166 East 5300 South, Murray, Utah.
The board positions for Randy and Claire are open for election. Please contact Brad Peterson if you are interested in running for one of the positions. A short bio must be provided to Brad by April 1st.
Winter Roadside Parking
Parking near BSR can be difficult in the winter. We have very limited roadside parking which does not get plowed. The Summit County Sheriff’s Department reminds us to keep in mind that snowplow operators need a clear path to plow the full width of the roads.
This past weekend, several vehicles were parked too close to the road and were issued warnings. In the future, such vehicles will be subject to ticketing and towing. The sheriff’s department is asking for our cooperation to not park close to the canyon road.
Summit County ordinance #346 simply states “no on street parking” and “vehicles or other obstacles which hamper snow removal operations.” To avoid ambiguity, we are working on getting more specific details as to what “close” means.
