Red Rock Ranch Homeowners Association Monthly Meeting
08 June 2020
NOTE: Due to the corona virus pandemic and meetings/gatherings of more than ten people discouraged by the Colorado governor, this meeting was conducted via Zoom.
Presiding: President Beth Lonnquist
Present: Beth Lonnquist, Jim Bergeron, Kevin Guy, Jamie Madison, Shannon Kittelson, Paul Tillotson, Bill Griffith
Guests: Mark and Angi Morton, David Weitz
The meeting was called to order by President Beth Lonnquist at 1903.
Architectural Control: Mark and Angi Morton submitted a request to build a house with one level above and one level below ground at 18365 Forest View Road. The house will be 5,800 square feet including decks and garages. The exterior will be a gray stucco siding with asphalt shingles. There will be landscaping rock around the foundation extending to five feet. Plans had been sent to all Board members for review prior to the meeting. Questions asked were colors to be used and building permit. Colors are in compliance and building permit is pending. The Mortons asked about the fee and will either mail it to the HOA PO Box or drop it off at President Lonnquist’s home. The Board approved the request after a motion by Shannon Kittelson and a second by Jim Bergeron.
Guest David Weitz of 4675 Red Rocks Road presented a request that the RRRHOA partner with him to ask the Forest Service to designate certain areas next to Red Rock Ranch as parking during the day with no camping. The areas in question abut the Ranch and have become a place for campers to stay for up to five months at a time. There is concern about the danger of fire and health issues since the one bus in particular had no toilet facilities and nearby fields were being used. (See attachments for further detail) A motion was made by Kevin Guy to partner and forward support to the National Forest Service to establish trail heads with parking only and no camping. A second was made by Jamie Madison and the Board concurred.
Minutes of the 11 May 2020 meeting were read and approved following a motion to approve by Bill Griffith and a second by Jamie Madison.

New Business: President Lonnquist thanked all for helping with the spring cleanup effort on the 6th and 7th of June. It went well and the roll-off dumpster was filled. The dumpster was not delivered on the scheduled time which led to a bumpy start, so a different company may be used next year if the Board decides to continue the clean-up program.
Kevin Guy requested $250 for supplies to repair sprinklers at the Nevins Park water outlet and also determine whether or not an anti-siphoning system is needed. Jim Bergeron made a motion to authorize up to $250.00 for repairs, a second was made by Paul Tillotson and the Board agreed.

Red Rock Ranch Homeowners Association Monthly Meeting
13 April 2020

Guests: None present, but letters from two residents were presented. One was from Nick and Jessica Bartley, 4315 Red Forest Road with concerns about chipping at their residence when Mr. Bartley felt pressured to not only help with chipping at his home, but also help at other sites. (See attached letter). Treasurer Bill Griffith drafted a reply (See attached letter) to the Bartley’s with Board approval following a motion by Jim Bergeron and a second by Paul Tillotson. The letter from the Bartley’s will be shared with David Pheteplace, director of Firewise on the Ranch.
The second letter was actually an e-mail sent by Dr. David Bohn, 4710 Limestone Road who will be renting his residence and a prospective renter inquired about having an enclosed trailer containing tools used in his work kept on the property. The Board discussed the matter and felt more information is needed before a decision can be made, such as the size of the trailer, does it have business lettering, etc. President Lonnquist will follow up on this matter.

Plans were examined and approval is pending upon receipt of samples of color, placement of house on the lot, building permit number and appropriate fees. The pending approval was given after a motion by Julie Pheteplace and a second by Shannon Kittelson.
Skip and Terri Chang, 18439 Forest View Road, requested permission to erect a split rail fence around their property. It meets covenant requirements and was approved by the Board after a motion to accept by Kevin Guy and a second by Julie Pheteplace.
The minutes of the 09 March 2020 were read and approved unanimously as written following a motion by Julie Pheteplace and a second by Paul Tillotson.

Treasurer’s Report accepted by the Board after a motion to accept by Julie Pheteplace and a second by Paul Tillotson.
The 2020 budget submitted by Treasurer Bill Griffith at the December meeting reviewed by the Board with minor changes/additions suggested. The amended budget will be voted on by the Board at the February 2020 meeting.
Old Business:
Policies written by Kevin Guy were reviewed, as well as current covenants with several changes/deletions/additions suggested such as deleting the term group homes, RV parking on the Ranch and clarifying single dwellings. Attorney Meredith McDonald had suggested in the past that the Board have an attorney familiar with HOA’s review and fine-tune all changes. Julie Pheteplace volunteered to do the typing involved.
Insurance: The Association has D and O insurance from HUB for one year and general liability from State Farm. Coverage is still needed for volunteer accident insurance. Originally, State Farm was thought to have offered it, but their policies have since deleted that coverage. President Lonnquist continues to follow up on that.
Firewise: There will be four months with dates to be announced for chipping in 2020; May, June, August and September. The chipping will use equipment of CUSP for two dates and Tri Lakes Fire Department for the other two.
New Business:
Annual Meeting: The annual resident’s meeting will be held on 13 April 2020 at 1900 in Woodmoor’s The Barn. The fee for renting The Barn is $40.00 for two hours, plus a $500.00 deposit for damages. The $500.00 check will not be cashed unless there are damages. The $40.00 is a courtesy from one HOA to another since the usual fee would be $50.00. The $540.00 was approved following a motion by Kevin Guy and a second by Julie Pheteplace.
Park/Tennis Court: Jamie Madison continues attempts to find funding to improve the park and tennis court. It was felt by the Board that volunteer work can spruce up the tennis court and Jamie Madison suggested xeriscaping around the area. President Lonnquist asked Board members to bring dates to the next meeting when they are available for helping with work at Nevins Park.
Future Dates: The annual picnic/business meeting will be on 15 August 2020 at noon in Nevins Park.
The spring Ranch cleanup will be on 05 and 06 June 2020.
Newsletter: The HOA newsletter needs to be mailed by 13 March 2020, four weeks before the annual owner’s meeting. Covenants, the park and budget will be mentioned and Board members are invited to add articles of interest.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was ended at 2011 on a motion by Julie Pheteplace and a second by Paul Tillotson so the Board could go into Executive Session.
Executive Session ended at 2027. The meeting adjourned at 2028 after a motion to adjourn by Kevin Guy and a second by Paul Tillotson.
The next regular meeting will be at 1900 on 10 February 2020 at Tri Lakes Cares, 235 Jefferson Street, Monument, Colorado.
