Gail, My assumption all along has been that the costs will be cover by our Road District tax money, and I've never heard anything to the contrary. That is why the Board needs to vote on it.

I completely agree that the Board should consider all options for siting the mailboxes, and it needs to vote on the site. But, I can’t think of any site along Fairfield Cir that is equal to or better than site #3 in terms of legality, spaciousness, and convenience. Maybe some property owner will donate land, and we can have large, off-road mailbox site like they do in Vista Del Oro.

Below are some cost estimates. Those types of cost will apply wherever the mailboxes are located.

Speaking of costs, I assume that at the Board meeting there will be a financial report and financial plan. I’ve only been to one Board meeting, but I haven’t seen any financial information or heard any discussion of a financial plan.

Thanks,

Ken

?Most cluster mailbox units have both tenant boxes and parcel lockers, and both are generally about 12” wide and 15” deep. An important difference among the different models is the height of the tenant boxes. The some are about 3” high, but others are nearly 5” high, which means they will more likely take packages than the smaller boxes.

The two most common models of mailboxes the size that we will need have either 16 or 13 tenant doors ?(see attached images and links below). We will need two units because there are a total of 30 properties in Fairfield Estates and 18 homes at present.

The 16-door model has the smaller tenant boxes 3” high but two parcel lockers. Two of these would provide more tenant boxes than we would ever need. You can see examples of these units at Vista Del Oro.

The 13-door model has the larger 5” high tenant boxes although it only has one parcel locker. Two of these units would have 26 tenant boxes, which would likely be enough for years to come, perhaps ever, as some lots are likely to be held as buffers rather than being built on. You can see examples of these units at Covey Run, a couple miles east on 3 Canyons.?

Most cluster mailbox installations have additional parcel lockers, and these are either 2 or 4 door models. Personally, I would prefer the 4-door model because I really don’t want to go to the post office to pick up parcels, especially at Christmas when the line is long, lol.

Cost estimate:

Surveyors need to establish the property line $?

2 mailbox units: 2x ~$1400 = ~$2800
1 parcel locker =? ~$1200 to ~$1727
taxes and delivery= few hundred dollars
gravel and delivery ~$1000
Site preparation = ? (digging out couple mesquite, grade, concrete pad, installation of units) ?(Can any of our property owners do some of these?)
