Wood chip removal
Thanks to Drew Jordan for arranging the Summit County wood chipping crew. Forty-six piles were chipped, helping to reduce our wildfire fuel load. If you have wood chips on the side of the road on your lot, please spread or move them before winter to avoid creating snow drifts and make room for plowed snow.
Traffic restrictions are still in place on Basin Canyon road while we remove the fill placed on lot 37. Please use Kimball Canyon Road unless you live on lower Basin.
Clear your culvert
Wetter weather is coming. Please take a few minutes to assure all road culverts on your lot are clear of rocks and debris. The culvert under your driveway is your responsibility to keep clear. If you notice any other culverts that need clearing, please contact Road Committee Chair Chip Garner at wpg3ut@gmail.com.
WINTER IS COMING!!!
Dear Stagecoach Members,
With the arrival of the winter season at Stagecoach we wanted to send out a few reminders to the membership.
Parking:
The Kimball Gate entrance area will be plowed this winter to allow for garbage pick-up and parking. It is permissible to leave snowmobiles parked for the winter but please utilize the uppermost area of the lot so as to leave as much room possible for cars and trailers. Please do not block access to the dumpsters or block in other cars.
Vehicle and/or Trailer parking is temporary so please do not leave anything parked for longer than two weeks at a time. This allows for plowing and parking opportunities for various members throughout the winter. Any vehicles or trailers left for more than two weeks are subject to towing.
THERE IS NO PARKING SPACE AVAILABLE at the intersection of Kimball Canyon Road and Lower Cove Road this year. There are piles of concrete rubble in the spot previously used for temporary parking during bad road conditions so please be aware of the hazard as the piles may be buried under snow.
Also, the 'Y' area where Kimball Canyon Road and Basin Canyon Road intersect is private property and not part of the Stagecoach subdivision. The SELOA has no responsibility for any vehicle removals that might occur by the land owners so parking there is at your own risk.
Snow Removal:
Many members come up to Stagecoach to enjoy winter activities such as snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing and use those means to access their property. If you are engaged in or contracting services to plow along any of the Stagecoach roads please be considerate of your neighbors and do not scrape the roads bare of snow. Do not plow barriers at intersections with unplowed sections of the road. While it can be tricky in fluctuating temperature conditions, we need to leave some snow on the roads and at minimum along one side of the road for this type of usage. Also, please be aware when driving that sledding and other non-vehicular traffic may be encountered along the roads.
Thanks for your cooperation and Happy Holidays!

A note from Summit County
Summit County has been lucky with wildfire in recent years, but luck is a poor method of prevention and mitigation. Recent discussions in Summit County have focused on the growing risk of “mega-fires”. We must all be proactive in this effort by eliminating dangers that contribute to wildfires and being prepared in the event a fire reaches your community.
The top 3 causes of fires in urban areas are:
The follow is a brief overview of precautions owners can take immediately around their residences. Park City, Summit County, the State of Utah and the Federal Government provide countless resources to expand your understanding of wildfires, prevent wildfires and how to respond in the event of a wildfire. Below is a preliminary list of helpful resources.
WHAT CAN HOMEOWNERS DO?
Before a wildfire threatens your area…
In and around your home
· Clear leaves and other debris from gutters, eaves, porches and decks. This prevents embers from igniting your
home.
· Remove dead vegetation and other items from under your deck or porch, and within 30 feet of the house.
Learn more about the basics of defensible space on the Firewise website.
· Screen or box-in areas below patios and decks with wire mesh to prevent debris and combustible materials
from accumulating.
· Remove flammable materials (firewood stacks, propane tanks) within 30 feet of your home’s foundation and
outbuildings, including garages and sheds. If it can catch fire, don’t let it touch your house, deck or porch.
· Wildfire can spread to tree tops. Prune trees so the lowest branches are 6 to 10 feet from the ground.
· Keep your lawn hydrated and maintained. If it is brown, cut it down to reduce fire intensity. Dry grass and
shrubs are fuel for wildfire.
· Don’t let debris and lawn cuttings linger. Dispose of these items quickly to reduce fuel for fire.
· Inspect shingles or roof tiles. Replace or repair those that are loose or missing to prevent ember penetration.
· Cover exterior attic vents with metal wire mesh no larger than 1/8 inch to prevent sparks from entering the
home.
· Enclose under-eave and soffit vents or screens with metal mesh to prevent ember entry.
· Learn more about how to protect your home and property at www.firewise.org.
With approaching summer holidays, be mindful of burn bans and firework restrictions.
