I spoke with a contractor Saturday who wanted to push a trail across my property. He insisted that even though the utility companies had installed boxes in his original planned route, he was entitled to move farther onto my property to put in his trail.

I'm concerned on a couple of fronts, one the infringement on my rights as the land owner - he wanted to work beyond the easement, and two the fact that the trails they are putting in are going to become weed infested eyesores unless they are sprayed regularly with a herbicide and I don't want toxics spayed on the property to run off with the next rain.

Meeting on Trails

On Friday, July 23, 1999, I talked to Don Smith who works for our developer, Joe Gassner. Mr. Smith told me that he would be happy to have a meeting with homeowners to discuss drainage and trails issues. On Thursday, July 22, 1999, I talked to Angela Artale of Hammersmith Management. Angela told me that she is new on the job and is, therefore, not prepared to have a meeting with homeowners. I believe that Angela is an essential party to any meeting. I believe that Hammersmith controls the Architectural Control Committee. I am going to continue to ask her for a meeting. Her email is hmics@juno.com. Her address is Hammersmith Management, Inc., 118 North Tejon Street, Suite 405, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. I left her phone number at my office. I'll get it and post it.

Angela Artale

Angela's phone number is 520-0009.

When I talked to Angela last week, she told me that she was going to send a letter to all of the homeowners giving us information on how she was going to operate. It is now 7/26/99. I have not yet received anything from her. I will follow-up. She also told me that she was going to email the people on the Communications Committee. I am on that Committee and I have not yet received any email from her.
