Lost Park Ranch Newswire - Read All About It!

 

This summary includes all the topics in the full newsletter.  The agenda at the annual Member meeting on August 2, 2025 will follow this basic order.

 

Annual Elections to Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and the LPROA Board of Directors (BOD)  - All of these positions are volunteer jobs filled by your neighbors.  To be voted on at the meeting: 1 open position on the ACC & 4 on the BOD. PLEASE consider stepping up to serve!

 

Water Cistern Project – two 3500 gallon cisterns for firefighting are being installed at Outlot B in LPR.  These are cooperatively funded and installed by LPROA and the Jefferson Como Fire Department.

 

Covenant Change Vote and Procedure – The Covenants, written in 1978, may need updating to reflect the changing needs and issues facing LPR.  To make a change, Section 17 of the existing Covenants must first be amended via majority vote. This vote is not a change to Covenant content but a procedure to be done before content (if needed) can be changed.

 

Water Augmentation Reservoir Summary and Status – a detailed summary and chronology of the effort to repair and rebuild our Pond which secures our water rights is in the full newsletter.  Currently an engineering firm is preparing a detailed proposal and budget so we will have knowledge of the true scope of the effort needed.

 

ACC Update – For 2024 4 applications submitted, 22 approved, 2 not approved – 1 violation. Of those projects: 17 were  completed and 5 still in process.  

 

STR Update – Currently there are 5 STRs permitted within LPR. The BOD continues working closely with Park County to obtain full compliance with County Ordinance 20-03 governing the function of STRs. This summer Park County will release an update to Ord. 20-03 which will include additional guidelines and detailed methods of enhanced enforcement.

 

Hot Tub Rule – The BOD will be considering adaptation of a new rule regarding Hot Tubs (any recreational Water use structure) because our Water Augmentation Plan (which secures our water rights) requires this documentation. The draft Rule is on the LPROA Website under the Governance Tab.

 

Burn Permits and Burn Bans- Reminder of requirement to get annual Burn Permit from JCFD

 

Fire Mitigation Update/Chipper Day – Chipper Day has been rescheduled to September 26.  Spots are still available.  Sign up on the Website 

 

Signage and Trash Rule – Remember your green reflective 911 sign should be  posted to aid in 911 calls and the new trash rule is in effect. Bears are currently active in the community so please keep your trash or other attractants secure.

 

Tarryall Fishing Club Update – The TFC voted at their annual meeting to ask for a dues increase of $40 per lot bringing the total dues to $80 per lot.  The full membership of LPR and Stage stop must vote to approve this increase before it would become effective,

 

Website Access / Content  &  Electronic Delivery of Documents – You must register to access the important member section of the website.  Most LPR owners have made an account but if you have not or are having login troubles contact info@lproa.net .   Using electronic document delivery saves your HOA hundreds of dollars a year in postage and printing and allows timely transfer of information.  Be sure your email address is correct.

 

Annual Disclosure – how dues collected are spent and how to access the annual budget and financial reports

Insurance Documentation – as required by law.
