The attached map taken from the county GIS shows that Fairfield Estates, outlined in orange, consists of 30 properties with 18 homes at present. The map shows the addresses of the homes with the street names abbreviated. I felt it was important to give all the homeowners the opportunity to participate in the discussions since their taxes will pay for the mailboxes. Sixteen of the 18 homes are on the email list. I¡¯ve talked to people at the two remaining homes, 8081 FC and 5689 PV. They were enthusiastic about having mailboxes but have not yet sent me their email address. (I just looked on Zillow, and 8081 FC was listed for rent in 2017 so it may not be owner occupied.)
I¡¯ll summarize progress to date. The problem is that the Fairfield Estates Road Maintenance and Improvement District (FERMID) doesn¡¯t own any land that the cluster mailboxes can be installed on, thus the boxes must be installed on the easement of properties adjacent to Fairfield Cir or perhaps on property even beyond the easement. I have not been able to find any information on the easements of properties adjacent to Fairfield Cir. I have an appointment with the District lawyer, Nathan Williams, next Monday, March 8th at 10 am to discuss this problem. Anyone interested should join me.
Four possible sites have been suggested.
#1 On Fairfield Cir near 3 Canyons Rd (property of the Palominas School District)
#2 At or near the intersection of Fairfield and Palisades (property of the Vista Del Oro HOA)
#3 Eller property at the corner of Fairfield and Paso Venado (see map)
#4 Castle and Cook property across the road from #3 (see map). This would obviously be the most expensive site but might be seriously considered if the other three sites are unavailable.
I don¡¯t see any point of discussing the pros and cons of these sites or prioritizing them until we know more about the easements of these properties and our legal rights. I hope to know more in a week.
