Update on Road Maintenance (Posted: Mar. 23, 2023)

March 23, 2023

To: Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners

Subject: Update on Road Maintenance


The POA has received numerous requests to perform road maintenance, which includes blading, filling, and cindering many of the roads in our community.

As you may know, we have broken our 101-year record in accumulated snowfall with 170.3 inches (14.2 ft. or 4.3 meters) of snowfall, making for a very snowy winter.

A challenge we are encountering is that none of the cinder quarries are presently delivering cinders due to freezing, wet, muddy, and snowy conditions, making loading cinders onto the dump trucks impossible. Likewise, water frozen in the cinders causes them to form large clumps, so they cannot be gated (spread) even if they can be delivered.

Compounding road maintenance challenges, our roads have been too muddy to bring in heavy equipment to perform much-needed grading and repairs.

Our road maintenance committee is constantly watching these issues, inquiring with the cinder quarries to get cinders delivered as soon as possible. We will undertake an aggressive road repair and maintenance program as soon as weather conditions permit.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners Association.

It has been called to our attention that the contact forms on our website were not delivering your email messages to the POA Officers, Directors, and committee members.

Our email hosting service moved our email domain to a new server and neglected to let our website administrator know of the changes, which broke our email service. We have updated the email server and credentials of our website and did testing to confirm that the problem has been fixed.

We offer our sincere apology if the failure inconvenienced you. Everything is working correctly now.

Heavy Snows Make Road Maintenance Challenging (Posted: Mar. 10, 2023)

March 10, 2023

To: Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners

Subject: Snow Challenges

Many residents have called to our attention that our roads are in dire need of maintenance. The challenge we have faced is back-to-back snowstorms, which prevent road maintenance because we can't bring in heavy equipment to grade and cinder the roads. At best, we can snowplow many of the roads and then hope that will facilitate the roads drying out more quickly so maintenance can be done when we get a break in the snow.

To put things into perspective. Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 has broken a 25-year record in snowfall at 149 inches (12.2 ft.) of snow so far this year. We are only five inches shy of breaking the 101-year record.

To say the least, this has been a genuinely unusual winter where large amounts of snow have super-saturated our roads, making them difficult to travel. Please know that we will bring in the heavy equipment as soon as the roads dry out sufficiently to make it safe.

Thank you for being so understanding.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners Association.




Road Maintenance Postponed Due To Fire Danger (Posted: Jun. 15, 2022)

To: Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners

Subject: Road Work

This notice is to inform you that all road work has been postponed due to fire danger after consulting with our road contractor. We completely understand that our roads need attention. But due to the fact that while using grading equipment, there is a possibility that a rock can create a spark that, in turn, can cause a wildfire. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may cause you. Please understand that we do not want to risk a fire breaking out while taking care of our roads, especially when we have difficulty getting water to help put out any said fire.

Your patience is appreciated while we wait until sufficient precipitation is received that will reduce the risk of wildfire and the hot and dry weather conditions are no longer in the forecast. Stay safe!

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
Howard Mesa Ranch Phase 3 Property Owners Association.

POA In Opposition To Mining Operation. Requests Property Owner Feedback (Posted: May. 2, 2021)

Dear HMR Community,

Neighbors just found out that there is going to be mining on the North end of HMR located at mile marker 204 by the metal building. As far as we can tell there was no communication on this happening. We appreciate your emails and concerns, below is what we have sent and to whom. We encourage you do to the same.

Thank you
Your Board of Directors.

SUBJECT – Statement/Reason in Opposition to Mining on Parcel 503-13-014

May 2, 2021

Members of Howard Mesa Ranch, Phase Three, Property Owners Association, Inc, (“HMR” herein), over 165 properties, taxpayers and VOTERS hereby tenders absolute opposition to the mining that is scheduled to take place with drilling on parcel number 503-13-014 for the following reasons:

First and foremost, no-one in the association, nor the neighbors of parcel number 503-13-014 next to the metal building were ever notified on the intentions that Stodghill & Sons Mining LLC have for mining this property. If their intentions are to mine for asphalt are true, at this time we Howard Mesa Phase 3 Association Board of Directors hereby Oppose this. Some neighbors noticed the mining equipment and reached out to people on the parcel to ask what they are doing and were told they will be mining for asphalt base. According to Coconino Counties website on this date, this property does not have a permit for such activity. The property North of the building parcel 503-13-014 is vacant, to the East there is undeveloped state land with Homesteads in-between, to the South there is Homesteads to the West is Highway 64 and Howard Mesa Phase 1 & 2 land. This land is not state land it is residential.

HMR has continued growth of full-time residents and home building continue to increase. This is to be expected with national events to support growth such as jobs in our area. Residents of HMR have bought property based on their own due diligence and presumption that some sort of compliance of land use would continue by Coconino County. Allowing mining to happen radically effects property values and the use and enjoyment of the properties of all HMR residence not to mention it would increase traffic, road dilution, create pollution, and trash that would blow offsite.

With respect and consideration of adjacent property owners, and all HMR property owners and their property values, compliance and the spirit and letter of zoning laws: This should not be taking place in our rural residential neighborhood. Please respond to what can be done to stop mining from happening near our rural residential neighborhood.

In Search of POA Board Directors (Posted: Aug. 13, 2020)

Howard Mesa Phase 3 is in search of Board members.

If you are interested in running to be on the Board of Directors for the 2021 term, please contact your POA by August 25. 2020 at the following email address:

Secretary@HMRPhase3.com




POA Meeting Minutes For 2020 (and going forward) Are Now Available In PDF Format (Posted: June. 4, 2020)

Starting in 2020, all POA meeting minutes will be posted as a PDF file under the POA_Minutes folder on the Document Manager page on this web site. That should make it easier to find and read meeting minutes without needing to scroll down through this Bulletin Board page.




Citizen's Neighborhood Crime Watch and Patrol (Posted: May. 5, 2020)

In our last annual POA meeting on October of 2019, it was called to the POA's attention that a home in our community was burglarized while the home owner was away.

To be proactive with this issue, Howard Mesa Phase 3 POA is organizing a neighborhood crime watch and patrol program. Additionally, the Coconino Sherif Department has stepped up their patrols inside our community at the POA's request. Thus, you may see a Sheriff's pickup truck occasionally patrolling the roads in our community.

As a director on the board of the POA, I have taken responsibility to organize our crime watch and patrol program. As of this writing we are now officially recognized by the Sheriff's Department as having a crime watch and patrol program and are being assisted by the Sheriff's Department in getting it organized and operational.

You will soon see Neighborhood Watch signs being placed in conspicuous locations in the community and, as soon as I can organize some volunteers, you will periodically see a vehicle with a neighborhood watch emblem on it patrolling our community.


It is important to make it clear what our neighborhood watch and patrol is and isn't.

An effective neighborhood watch is neighbor looking after neighbor. If you see any suspicious activities in the neighborhood, please immediately call 911 and report it to the sheriff. Likewise, if any crime is committed against you or your property, first call 911 and report it to the sheriff. Then, when you have an opportunity, use the contact form below, select "Neighborhood Watch" and send us a note so that we can step up patrols on your road and surrounding properties. Be sure to let us know how to contact you.

Our neighborhood patrol is conducted by volunteers who are property owners in our community. The purpose of the patrol is to create a presence and watch for any activities inside our community that may appear to be crime related. We do not investigate crime nor do we confront anyone suspected of committing a crime while on our patrols. Like you, if we see something suspicious, we will call 911 and report it to the sheriff. In short, we are not the community police nor do we represent the Sheriff's Department. We are simply members of the community keeping an eye out for our valued neighbors.

If you would like to volunteer for the neighborhood patrol, please contact me (Lyle Hancock) using the contact form below. Select "Neighborhood Watch" and send me a note with information as to how I may contact you and arrange to meet with you. As a full time resident of our community, I will truly appreciate any interest you may have in getting involved.

New Website for HMR Phase 3

We have a website for Howard Mesa Ranch Has 3. It is HMRPhase3.com. It has the CC&Rs (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) and by-laws that you are able to download/view.

All new information regarding HMR POA will be posted on our new website. Please take a look at it and if you have any suggestions, please let us know via the comment section on the website. Hope you enjoy it.

Speed Limit 25MPH

We have speed limits on all of our roads and some signs have been put up. Please follow the speed limit because it helps preserve our roads.

Save the Date

Our Annual POA Meeting is the Third Saturday in October, which is October 19, 2019. The time and place will be posted on the website once it has been finalized. It is usually in the morning.

Mailboxes

The cluster of mailboxes are owned and managed by the separate POAs. There will be changes to our mailbox setup. We are working with the two other POAs to move their mailboxes to the West side of Hwy. 64 so that only HMR Phase 3 will have mailboxes on the East side. This means that we will no longer have the individual mailboxes next to the cluster of mailboxes. More information to follow.

Board/Officers/Committees

We are looking for anyone interested in becoming a board member/officer or join any of our committees. These are all volunteer positions. Committees are: Welcoming, Roads & Construction (for conveying information only). If you are hard working and can follow through on tasks, please let us know through the website before August 1, 2019 if you want to be a volunteer. We are planning on having Board elections or before the next annual meeting.

CC&Rs

The following is the most common concern the the Board has been made of this year. HMR Phase 3 is for Single Family Residential and Recreational use only. No one can reside on your property for more than three (3) consecutive months in a travel trailer or recreational vehicle during the calendar year unless the occupant has been issued a building permit. A site built structure or manufactured home not older than five (5) years old may be brought onto a Parcel for residential purposes only. All must have Coconino County building permits. Please see the CC&RsSection 5A, B and C for clarification.

We will be collecting email addresses from all members that would like us to contact them electronically. Feel free to send us your email address using our website.

We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting!

Update: Spring Road and Drainage Improvements (Posted: Apr. 17, 2019)

With the winter snows over and good spring weather to work the ground, the POA has undertaken a program to put in culverts to improve drainage and property access. This is part of our new proactive common road improvement and maintenance program. These improvements are being accomplished within our annual 2019 budget and will not result in increases in POA dues.






New Proactive Program to Maintain Community Roads (Pinned Post - Posted: Jan. 24, 2019)

You may have noticed that the Property Owners Association has taken steps to improve the quality of the main roads in our community. We have set up a proactive schedule of regular maintenance. Maintenance will include proper grading of the roads, maintenance of drainage, and adding cinder where and when needed. Our commitment is to keep our roads well maintained for all members of the community.

We are pleased to mention that we negotiated very favorable contracts with local reputable contractors for scheduled road maintenance. Thus, there will be no increase in annual POA property assessments to support the improvements. Your POA dues will remain the same.

May we ask your commitment to helping us keep the roads well maintained? Driving at high speeds, hard braking, hard cornering, and fast acceleration is the main cause of washboarding of our community roads. Please keep your speeds to 25 Mph or less and try to avoid hard braking, hard cornering, and fast accelerations. Just those simple things will minimize washboarding to a significant degree and reduce the cost of road maintenance.

Thank you for your commitment,
Property Owners Association, Phase 3 Officers and Board members
