I¡¯ve been working on finding a site for the
mailboxes since
the Board Meeting last September.?
On
September 17, 2020, I sent the Chair of the 3 Canyons Master
Design Committee a
¡°heads-up¡± email about our plans to install mailboxes. There was
little
progress in the fall because I was waiting for a Board meeting to
be called to
discuss the mailboxes. The meeting in March was the first since
September.
I must admit that I¡¯m a little frustrated with
the slow pace
of progress, especially the past few months. Frankly, I feel it
has been me,
who has wanted to explore all the potential sites simultaneously,
against the
Road District that focused solely on site #1 east, which I¡¯ve
always thought was
a very long shot.
Why is the Road District so set on site #1
east? This is
what Jimmy said in his email of March 21.
¡°We think #1 is the best option for these
reasons.
1. The mailboxes would be located on the east side of the road
which is
convenient.?
2. The pull out is on private property. If we lose access to the
pull out,
where will we park?¡±?
That¡¯s it. Why have the other potential sites,
#3 west and #1
west, been ignored?
As I¡¯ve said numerous times, I have no favorite
site. I
just want to have mailboxes. At least three factors need to be
considered in
evaluating potential sites: legality, spaciousness, and
convenience, with legality
by far the most important. ?Legality
involves contacting the property owners and spaciousness involves
knowing the
location of the property line.
They surveyors were originally scheduled to
come out in
early February, but they haven¡¯t been here yet. They haven¡¯t been
given the
priority that they deserve. We don¡¯t need much information. Only
the location
of the property line at site #1 west and site #3 west.
I request authorization from Jim to contact
the surveyors
ASAP and to meet with them when they are here.
We also need to contact the property owners of
site #3
west.?
I request authorization from Jim to contact
the property
owners of site #3 west. I believe that he has their contact
information.
Unfortunately, we¡¯re not going to make my goal
of having mailboxes
installed before Sharon and I leave for the summer at the end of
May. (I didn¡¯t
expect it to take eight months just to find a site along Fairfield
Cir!) Nevertheless,
I will continue putting my best effort into the project, and
hopefully someone will
take over when we leave.
