UP TO DATE INFORMATION
Below you can find the latest news about the goings on in
Stagecoach Estates.
Annual Meeting
Summit County has eased COVID-19 gathering restrictions slightly so we are hopeful we can have an in-person annual lot owners meeting on June 4, 2020 from 6 to 8 m.
Trailside Park - Park Room
5715 Trailside Drive
Park City, UT 84098
We will also hold the meeting via Zoom conferencing so you may call in or join by video.
We have extended the deadline to submit nominations for candidates for open board positions to May 17.
The open positions are: 1-year president, 3-year director, and 2-year director.
Elections
We will hold elections for two board positions at the annual lot owners meeting: the Director position currently held by Roger Bitner and the President position held by Brian Bitner.
Director (3 Year Term)
This position is a three-year term. Duties include attending board meetings every other month and helping out with tasks as assigned. This is the director term begun in 2017 held first by Steve Hall, then filled by Chuck Grosvenor, and finally filled by Roger Bitner. The Board thanks these gentlemen for their service.
Director (2 Year Term)
Due to work commitments exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, Director Mike Gonzales has resigned his seat as director and chair of the Architectural Control Committee. The remaining 2 years of his director term will be elected at the annual meeting.
President (1 Year Term)
Brian Bitner has served the SELOA Board first as director, then as Vice President, and finally as President for two terms. The Board wishes to thank Brian for his years of service on the Board and hard work improving our roads. Because our Bylaws state board members may serve a maximum of 12 consecutive years, Brian is not eligible to fulfill the last year of this second term as President. The election at the annual lot owners meeting will be for a candidate to serve the remaining one year of the current presidential term. The successful candidate may or may not chose to run again in 2021. Duties of the President include presiding over meetings, organizing committees, co-signing checks, and conducting the business of the Association in accordance with our governing documents and State law.
All lot owners in good standing (dues are paid) are eligible to run.
We have extended the deadline to submit nominations for candidates for open board positions to May 17.
To run for any of these positions, please submit your name, lot number, and a short statement of qualifications to SELOAsecretary@gmail.com by May 17.
We hope you are staying well and enjoying the isolation that Stagecoach Estates offers.
Regards,
Lucy Jordan
SELOA Secretary
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.

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.
Thanks for your cooperation.

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.
