Safe Sledding
The Windflower Lane hill has long been a favorite sledding hill for our community. In order to keep all the sledders safe, the Kelly's have helped out by marking an orange plastic road barrier with the words "Caution: Sledders" and stashed it at the bottom of the hill near the fire hydrant. If your group is sledding, place the barrier in the road to warn others. If you see the barrier, use extra caution when traveling on Windflower Lane.

WINTER PARKING
A majority of the HOA members voted against using $22,000 of association funds for snow removal on the community roads and Guardsman Pass Road parking area. We as a board acknowledge that the BOD recommended resolution was to "expand the snow removal process from the Guardsmans pass parking to include plowing for our community road system" (ballot informational letter) , but it was clear from the HOA membership vote that people do not want to spend HOA monies on snow removal. In light of the membership input and the challenges that the snow removal issue has presented to our community the board has decided not to spend any HOA monies on plowing either the Guardsman's parking or community roads for the 2012/2013 season. We thank you for your guidance and welcome your further input at the next annual meeting.
Some HOA members are paying for the ability to park at their own properties and the roads leading to their property. If you are interested in this service and usage of the roads within the subdivision contact Carole McCalla/Paul Nell at 801.661.1879. Membership at large will still have use the road by walking/ski/snowmobile/snowcat.
HOA members that wish to park outside of the gate should do so at their own risk and at their own expense. Again, if this is your choice you can contact Carole McCalla/Paul Nell at 801.661.1879 for snow removal to meet your needs. It is important to remember that Guardsman Pass parking is not Forest Glen HOA common area and if you choose to park there, please follow the State laws. Basically that means parking outside of the white line (which is approximately 12-14 feet from the road center line). Please do not block the entrance to Skyline View Lane. Noncompliance may result in fines and/or towing by the UPD.
Please leave a placard with your name and phone number on your dashboard whether you park within the subdivision or on Guardsman Pass Road so neighbors can contact you if there is a problem (prior to towing!). We recommend making extra placards for guests.
We are hopeful that all who choose to use either the roads within the subdivision or parking outside the gate will contribute to the cost of this service in order to build positive community spirit.
If you drive into the subdivision remember that the roads will be covered with compacted snow and enter only at your own risk. Goodwinter tires or chains are required and having some knowledge about driving on snow packed hills that at times will be icy and slippery .Stuck vehicles = your expense. If you get stuck, you may call Paul Nell at 801.403.6186 for assistance.
Please consider the following criteria for entering our common areas/roads:
The Board would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation, consideration, and neighborliness. This is a work in progress; your constructive feedback is welcome.
We’ll keep you informed of any additional information that will help this winter run more smoothly.
