TRAILMARK NEWSTMMD REGULAR MEETING
Tuesday, May 21st 6:30 pm TrailMark Learning Center, 9743 S Carr Way From the Management Company (CRS)
Hello TrailMark! The Board will be holding a workshop session after the next HOA meeting on May 9th to explain the purpose of each governing document, as well as how to change them. All residents are welcome to attend. We will be discussing the hierarchy of the governing documents, what they address, and how they may be amended. We will also have a brief Q&A session for any unanswered questions during the workshop. Hope to see you there! It is once again time to start up the irrigation systems. The Board has asked homeowners to keep an eye out for leaking irrigation in the common areas. If you do see a leak, please email CRS and inform them of the situation. If it is a large leak or break in the line, please call CRS immediately and they will contact Denver Water. Community Resource Services – akelly@crsofcolorado.com (303) 381-4960 There has been some concern about how to handle trash in the neighborhood. Please note that all trash containers must be covered, and secured in a way that does not allow the wind or weather to blow the trash away. Alpine Waste and Recycling is the contracted company for trash removal. The trash trucks operate in the neighborhood between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. Please ensure that your trash is put out to the curb on the morning of pick up before 7 am. If your trash was put out but missed, you may call for an extra pickup.

TMMD Update
The aeration system has been turned back on to Fairview Reservoirs #1 and #2. This really helps the water quality, and the plants and fish. Remember that fishermen should not wade into the reservoirs and we would really appreciate that they take their trash, broken lines, hooks, etc. with them when they leave the area. It would be great if they would pick up whatever trash they find to keep the area beautiful. Thank you. The fence project is really looking good. We have had many positive comments on the fence appearance, and on the professionalism of the Split Rail crews that are working on the fence. It is on track to be completed around June 3rd, and I am sure we can all enjoy the fresh appearance and sturdiness of the new fencing. Just a reminder that the fence is community property and should be respected accordingly, as mentioned in the article on the first page of this newsletter. Posted May 1, 2019 Notes from the Common Area Committee
Have you noticed the purple blossoms on the north at our TrailMark entrance? I am sure that you will continue to enjoy this area as the plants grow out this spring. We will begin work soon on the next median (the one west of the fire station) along TrailMark Parkway. Have you taken the opportunity to hike the Black Bear Trail, which goes up the hogback and connects to Deer Creek Trails? It is closed for hiking during raptor breeding season, which is now until August. However, if you go to the Southwest corner of TrailMark, notice the two-track road going up to the beginning of Black Bear Trail as it intersects Two Brands Trail. Many people have commented on enjoying this median connector trail to Two Brands. There are plans by Jeffco to restore the natural environment and get rid of this trail if you read the sign that was posted. IF you enjoy this connector, please contact Jason Crum at Jeffco Open Space. His email address is: jcrum@co.jefferson.co.us. We would like to see this become a permanent trail with a name, and a sign and eventually shown on the maps of Hildebrand Ranch along with the distances. Posted May 1, 2019 
Building? Planting? Digging?
Call first. Spring is a great time for outdoor home projects. The HOA and DRC remind you that there are miles of buried utilities beneath the surface that are vital to everyday living, like water, electricity and natural gas. Any type of digging requires a call. Building a deck? Planting a tree? Installing a fence or other landscaping projects? Please, remember to call 811 before you trench or dig. Jeffco's Building Safety Division is entrusted with achieving compliance with applicable state laws and adopted building codes in regards to building design and construction within unincorporated Jefferson County.

Family Photo Day Series
Possible Premium Discount
We are now in the South Metro Fire Department district. South Metro Fire Dept. has ISO Class 1 Designation. Upon inquiring, we received this response from one insurance company: "There may be companies out there that use Protection Classes, ie. the Fire Dept Designation (which if a Protection Class improves would result in a premium decrease). If a protection class is low, that would translate to lower fire risk, which would ultimately result in lower claims and thus would probably reflect in our numbers, and would contribute to the zone we assign the home." TrailMark residents may want to contact their homeowners insurance companies regarding any possible premium changes. Posted May 1, 2019 In-Depth "Altogether Recycling™ Program" Information
To ensure TrailMark’s recycling program is both efficient and compliant, Alpine provided rules concerning the materials their recycling plant can accept through their Altogether Recycling program. This program is the most comprehensive recycling program in Colorado, yet not all items are recyclable. For Alpine to maintain the most efficient processing facility AND keep recycling programs available, it is important for customers to know what is acceptable and what is NOT.

The Social Committee is looking for business sponsors for some of our 2019 events! In order to keep from raising dues or event entrance fees we are looking for sponsors for various portions of events. This could include paying for the bounce houses or face painters at the summer concerts, 4th of July or TM5K; paying for coffee and donuts at the Easter Egg Hunt or 4th of July; or even sponsoring the tractor and barrel rides at the Corn Maze or carriage rides at Night at the Lights. If you or your business is interested in helping to sponsor one or more of these events, please take a look at our Sponsorship Opportunities. Then fill out the Sponsorship Agreement and email it to social@trailmarkhoa.org. We love putting on these amazing events for our neighbors, but with rising event costs we need your help! Thanks so much! Posted May 1, 2019 Fence Progress
The fence replacement project is moving along well. Some residents have called with concerns that pickets aren’t straight and there is a gap next to the pillar. There are certain steps the crew goes through during installation. The crew first focuses on getting the fence up and then will send a worker back to plumb (straighten) the pickets and nail in place. The crew will also be closing any gaps between the post and column with an extra picket. For questions and concerns, please contact project manager Ned O’Rourke (303) 204-7418, Wayne Nichols (303) 594-5928 or the Split Rail office at (303) 791-1997. FAQ's can be found on the TMMD's Privacy Fence Replacement Project page: https://www.trailmark.org/2019-privacy-fence-replacement-project.html Posted April 26, 2019 
Fence Replacement Project - Update
An open letter to the community of TrailMark As most residents know, the community’s five foot perimeter fencing is currently being replaced by Split Rail Fence Company. This project began in February and is anticipated to be completed the week of June 3rd. The fencing material being used is Trex, and significantly improves the appearance of the community! During the replacement of some fencing sections, it was found that homeowners were using their fence to support landscaping (e.g. water falls, rock piled against fence, etc.) resulting in damaged fencing. Reminder, the perimeter fencing is community property, and all efforts should be taken to protect the integrity of that fencing. Also, the HOA/TMMD is responsible for the maintenance and installation of all perimeter fencing. With that in mind, the following are approved guidelines regarding the community's perimeter fencing. TrailMark Community Perimeter Fencing Guidelines:
Any damage to the perimeter fence caused by a homeowner or guest will be repaired at the homeowner’s expense, or the person(s) causing the damage. The HOA/TMMD will repair such damage with all repairs being made by the current fence maintenance contractor and coordinated by the property management company. And, the responsible party will be assessed accordingly. Posted April 23, 2019 |
