SR7 and the drainage project (excerpts from SR7 newsletter 10-8-08)
1. The trenches that are dug by Building 15 are to run the new irrigation main line that is needed for the new irrigation. It has to be below freeze line. The trench had to be dug further from the sidewalk than originally thought because of the location of the utility lines. The water control valve and backflow preventer are both out of code compliance and also needed to be replaced along with the new main line. In addition, the electrical to the garages up on CCT that was hit and not marked by ELM after the locate was called in, is being fixed and was also completely out of code. A new panel was needed and new conduit. If it is at all possible for everyone to avoid calling the police unless there is an emergency, that would be great. Many of you understand what kind of infrastructure is being dealt with on Shanahan Ridge.

2. SR7 is currently waiting for another engineering report/letter from Scott Cox, which is required by the city engineer so that he can tell SR5 that what is being done is not going to change any historical drain patterns or flows and also a right of way permit for the area where the willows were. Once the city engineer came out to respond to the concerns of SR5, he asked for the right of way permit. It was not clear that it was needed, but the city wants it, so they'll get it. The engineers are writing the letter required by the city. This all should come together in the next couple of days and then the city can give the go-ahead and answer to SR5 and their concerns. SR7 has also been contacted by the members of SR4 and they will also be informed that what is being done at SR7 will not change any historical drain patterns. SR7 is just cleaning up SR7's mess and getting the water to its intended destination.

3.The goal is still to get this completed by December. Once the permit is given by the city, which should be this week, things can move along. They have no desire to hold things up. All of the materials are here and concrete can get poured quickly when the layout is complete. Again, those homeowners who are interested in having input into the concrete layout and vegetation can do so. Nothing is set in stone or concrete yet.

Neighborhood watch (posted 10-8-08)
The police department has added SR4 to a list of other HOA/Neighborhood lists. If they need to send out information or flyers to a particular neighborhood, they will send them to HOA's and other neighborhood organizations. This is in response to a recent string of burglaries in the South Boulder area.

There has been 1 burglary in Silver Plume in September. We have also received a report of a man (long hair in pony tail) looking in windows. Please keep your house and car locked and report any suspicious behavior to the police and/or SR4.
