After much encouragement from neighbors, this year Deahna is adding a $1 handling fee to cover her time, gas, and efforts.
 
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
  1. Vouchers will only be ordered for those whose payment has been received by the due date of April 24, 2021.
  2. Deahna will deposit checks and purchase the bulk vouchers after the due date.
  3. Pick up for vouchers will be Saturday, May 8, 2021 from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

  5. Vouchers can only be redeemed once.
  6. Vouchers are non-refundable.
  7. Vouchers cannot be replaced.
  8. Vouchers are not valid for entry to a park past the initial redeeming for park pass.
  9. Once the voucher is redeemed for an annual pass, the customer must adhere to the rules and regulations of that pass type.

Split Rail Fence Painting in Filing 3
PictureClick on image for enlarged map.
TrailMark is planning to begin painting the split rail fence in Filing 3. This includes the "Filing 3" area on the map, as well as Star Canyon Condos and Patio Homes, and the fencing along the southwest of the neighborhood.

Please remove any foliage, branches or bushes that may interfere with the painting of the outside surface of your split rail fence that faces the open space. This includes any wire fencing or chicken wire on the outside of your fence. If you wish to place this on your fence to keep little dogs in and big snakes out, it needs to be on the inside of the split rail fence. It is impossible to properly prepare the outside surface with this wire in place. If it is not removed, the paint crew will remove it and set it inside your fence. There are a number of loose or rotten posts that will be replaced prior to painting, along with a good number of rails that require replacement. We plan to begin the prep phase by mid-March and commence painting as soon as it is warm enough in April.

​
April 10, 2021 UPDATE - Prep work is under way. The photo was taken looking East-South East. This is the southern boundary of TrailMark. Workers stated that the actual painting may begin next week if the weather permits.

Easter Bunny Photo & Egg Pick-up fun for All!

The entire HOA Board would like to thank the TrailMark Social Committee for organizing, volunteering, and helping with our successful Easter Bunny event this morning at Hogback Hill Park. Did you know that our TrailMark kids collected around 2,000 eggs? 

Parents, kids, and dogs took pictures and gave lots of high fives and fist bumps to the Easter Bunny. A special salute goes out to President Ken Colaizzi for stepping up and playing Easter Bunny - he had fun too!! Happy Easter to all and enjoy the time with your family.

TrailMark Dumpster & Donation Truck Day

​Saturday, May 8th

From the DRC
(Design Review Committee)

 
In March the Design Review Committee reviewed 20 requests, a total of 41 for 2021 thus far.
 
The DRC’s vision and philosophy is to encourage consistent design expression while allowing homeowners individual expression when making home improvements.
 
When the DRC reviews home improvement requests, the committee must consider the impact the proposed change will have on the community as a whole and determine whether the change compliments and continues to blend with the community’s natural surroundings and maintains a cohesive, attractive appearance, as outlined by Shea in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR’s).
 
When we drive, walk and bike through TrailMark and we see spectacular views and houses and yards that compliment the community and the natural surroundings, we are seeing that the Design Review Committee is following the vision set forth in the TrailMark CCR’s.
 
The DRC continues with the development of a swimming pool standard and a standard for minor repairs not requiring DRC approval.

New Social Committee Event!
 
Knowledge Share Fair

Date
:  May 22, 2021
Time:  9am-Noon
Location:  Hogback Hill Park
 
Description: The event will be a time for adults to get together as neighbors and friends to share skills, talents and knowledge as well as swap books. A time to build community through getting to know our neighbors better through the sharing of our skills, talents and abilities. The social committee will work together with individuals, with information to share and books to swap, to create a space for sharing at the park. This event is intended for adult individuals sharing as a neighbor in the community and not as part of a business or as a vendor.
 
What We Need:  Volunteers with skills, talents and knowledge they believe is useful to the community. Please email the social committee by May 1, 2021 at social@trailmarkhoa.org to volunteer and tell us about your knowledge, talent or skill. Some examples of skills, talents and knowledge:

  • Gift Wrap/Ribbon Tying – the person providing this information would bring their own ribbon, gift wrap, etc. to demonstrate their skill
  • Beetle Prevention – the person providing this information could bring handouts of the information they are sharing for later reference. 
  • Acrylic Pour Painting – the person demonstrating this would bring their own paints, canvases, etc. to demonstrate how the technique is done. They would not bring supplies for other people to try it. It would only be for demonstration purposes. People attending could make videos of the demo on their phones.
 
What to Bring:  Volunteers sharing information should bring a table, chair and/or pop-up tent. If they don’t have those items, let us know and we will look to the community to donate them for the day. We also ask the individuals to bring their own supplies and information to support the knowledge, skill or talent they would be sharing. For the book swap, we ask individuals to bring their books to the park prior to 9:00 am the day of the event so they can be arranged on tables. Any un-swapped books will be donated. 
 
COVID-19 GUIDELINES will be strictly followed for everyone at this event.

It’s Time to Clean Your Dirty Dryer Ducts
Picture
By Einar Jensen, Risk Reduction Specialist
South Metro Fire Rescue
Picture
For many of us, spring cleaning begins in earnest in April. Targeting clutter in the garage and closets makes sense after a long winter and our global pandemic.
 
It’s also a great time to target fire hazards.
 
When was the last time you cleaned the lint screen in your clothes dryer? Most people clean the screen after every load. That’s the best practice, especially if your clothes shed as much as mine.
 
When was the last time you cleaned the duct work that vents air from your dryer? Lint, hair, and dust that collect in that ductwork is flammable. Worse, it collects along a channel for superheated air.
 
Remember, only three components are needed for a fire: oxygen, heat, and fuel. The fuel absorbs heat. Initially that heat causes any water content to evaporate, and then it causes solid fuels to disintegrate into their gaseous form.  With adequate heat, those gaseous particles can ignite.
 
The ductwork from your dryer isn’t strong enough to prevent flames from escaping into walls. Fires in dirty duct work can grow into the dryer and laundry room, ignite the exterior wall, and spread fire within wall spaces.
 
A duct full of lint, such as the one in the photograph, also reduces the efficiency of your dryer, which means you spend more money on energy.
 
This spring, save money and prevent fires by cleaning the lint from inside and outside your dryer.
 
For information on other safety issues, visit www.southmetro.org or contact us at ReducingRisk@southmetro.org.

TRAILMARK EVENTS AND COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
 
TrailMark will continue to offer social events to contribute to our sense of community. As previously published, with the COVID-19 pandemic, these events will continue provided all participants do so in a safe, responsible manner. This means observing social distancing and wearing face coverings.
 
We understand that some may feel uncomfortable attending these events given the uptick in COVID cases. However, if you wish to participate you must agree to “play by the rules” – Participants must wear a face covering and observe  6-foot social distancing between family units.
• Children 10 years and younger are not required to wear masks because the evidence so far has shown that children in this age group are much less likely to spread COVID-19 than older children and adults. It is also less likely that children of this age will wear a mask correctly.
• Children ages 2 and under should NOT wear masks or cloth face coverings.
 
If you’re comfortable, come out and enjoy yourself – listen to some summer music and/or indulge in food truck offerings. If you are concerned with being in a crowd, or are uneasy about participating, please stay home.
 
Please be reminded that the TrailMark HOA assumes no responsibility for any illness caused by attending our events. If families, including children, do not observe social distancing and wear face coverings, you will be asked to leave. Failure to leave when asked, or if it is determined that attendees are not observing our simple rules, then for the safety of all TrailMark residents future events may be cancelled.
 
If you attend our events, PLEASE, enjoy yourself and do so responsibly. We all thank you.
