Teton View Property Owners Meeting Highlights and Topics September 17, 2022

• Thank you John and Maria Murdock for hosting.
• Emma Atchley presented an update on the Green Timber schoolhouse renovation. Information may be found and donations may be sent at greentimberhistoricalsociety.com.
• Mathew Young is the contractor doing the renovation. He’s looking for projects. He may be reached at (208) 541-0885.
• Richard Western proposed snow removal fees be assessed with the owner association dues and not go through his personal account. It was proposed that every house owner pay. The justification is for lower insurance costs and to allow access by EMS, fire department and law enforcement, and for propane and other deliveries. Those that use the subdivision roads in the winter are asked to contribute.
• Diane Andrew presented a financial report. Fees billed – $4075. Fees collected – $3950. Unpaid fees (long term) – $1175. Costs include $5,000 for road base-road work, herbicide – $390. Mailings and P.O. box – $126. It was brought up that the fees are too low, but need a two thirds vote to change them.
• Not enough votes have been returned to approve any changes to the covenants sent out in the earlier mailing. A more involved discussion of changes to covenants is needed. Input and suggestions are welcome.
• Those people interested in mail delivery will have to coordinate obtaining a multiple box unit and place it on either 4500 E. or 4400 E.
• This is bear country! Be bear aware! Do not attract bears to your yard. There may be a county ordinance in the works that requires bear resistant garbage cans. A bear was shot just off 4500 E. a few days before the meeting, as a result of habituation and negligence.
• All dwellings including trailers require a proper septic system. No sewage dumping.
• Survey markers may not be accurate. New owners are advised to resurvey their property lines.
• We are always looking for interested new board members.
• We are always looking for updated contact information. Please send it in.
• There will be an attempt to incorporate as an HOA. This will help update and simplify covenants and enforcement.
• Many issues were not addressed. We will reestablish annual gatherings.

Teton View Subdivision Newsletter June, 2021

Greetings Teton View Subdivision Landowners, 

It is time again for reporting what has happened in the subdivision and invoicing of the annual dues. 

Within the last year there has been several lots sold in the subdivision. We normally try to keep updated on who currently owns the lots in the subdivision by accessing the Fremont County website. However, on pending sales, Fremont County may not have the current owner at the time we are mailing out the annual fee invoice for the subdivision. If you receive an invoice and you have sold your lot, could you please email Diane Andrew (our subdivision secretary) and provide an update on the new owners. Please email her at dandrew@ptg.us. 

Several lots in the subdivision have sold this last year and some owners are looking at building soon. Because of that I would like to give you a short summary of items that are required in our covenants: 

Part A 

A lot owner and future owners, executors, and administrators will agree to the covenants. 

Part B

Buildings on lots are to be for residential purposes, consisting of single-family dwelling and one detached private garage for not more than 3 cars. 

No building place closer than 20 ft from property line. 

Building plans need to be approved by the TVAC Board with no fence nearer than 20 ft from the front property line unless written approval by TVAC Board. 

Native shrubs, trees and flowers may be planted. 

All dwellings will have in-door toilet and a sewage system. 

No noxious or offensive activity that becomes an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. 

No trailer, basement house, tent, shack garage, barn or other out-building shall be used as a residence. 

No temporary structures, except for mobile homes or campers that cannot be located on a lot for more than 3 months. 

No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised except no more than 3 horses, that can be kept on the premises for NO MORE than 90 days on any one occasion. 

No commercial businesses. 

Annual assessment of $25 per empty lot, $50 per lot for seasonal mobile homes or campers, or $75 per lot for residential home. 

The covenants are to run with the land and shall be binding on all parties. 

TVAC Board members will run for 5 years and replacements will be from TVAC landowners. 

Changes to the covenants will require 75% approval of the record owners of lots in subdivision. 

Violation of the covenants by a landowner can result in possible court action. 

The above summary is only a very short summation of the requirements, it does not cover all items in the covenants. would encourage all owners to review your copy of the covenants prior to any building activity on your lot. 

In the past, we have had landowners who have exceeded keeping their trailers on their land well past the 3 month requirement, having outhouses on their land, keeping horses well into winter months and not paying their annual dues. There are always those people that like to push the system, but they are opening themselves to having legal action taken against them. Our covenants are fairly loose compared to other subdivision in the area. I would encourage the few people who are currently in violation of the covenants to correct your issue before some action is taken against you in the future. However, we would like to thank the majority of the owners who make every effort to abide by the covenants. 

During the last year I received several inquiries on how long horses could be allowed to stay on the land. According to the covenant, horses can stay for 3 months or a season. If there is a big enough desire by owners to allow horses to stay longer or year-round, I would encourage someone to propose a vote to amend the covenant. This would take 75% of the landowners to approve (or 76 yes votes by lot owners, since we have 101 lots in the subdivision). 

Again I am asking if anyone would like to be on the subdivision board. The covenant allows_for the members to serve 5 years and then a replacement can be voted on to replace a current member. Currently, most board members have 

served well over the 5 years without replacement. If you would like to become a board member, please let Diane know when you return your invoice with payment. We can then propose a vote for replacement of board members. 

As always, we are trying to keep the Teton View subdivision an enjoyable place to live and visit, to have accessible roads, and to maintain property values. We would encourage those owners that live here full time or part time to enjoy the area but be considerate of your neighbors by complying with the covenants and ensuring your guest or other family members when visiting the subdivision to NOT use our roads for your ATV, dirt bike or razor/quad playground and take extreme care with outside fires especially during the dry season of summer. 

Regards 

Chuck Cavaiani, Lead Board member Teton View Subdivision
