Wade Lundy

Although I was raised in Texas and traveled with the military, I’ve been blessed to have a career that has allowed me to reside in Pagosa Springs since 2020. Serving is part of my core principles. I’ve contributed to my communities as a volunteer firefighter, advisory board member to the electric co-op, and I currently serve as a member of the PLPOA Environmental Control Committee. Problem resolution, project management, and people have been common threads throughout my career, and I believe contribute to the overall success of communities. Pagosa Lakes is a unique, beautiful setting and board members have a duty to protect property values, environment, and promote community welfare. As an avid outdoorsman and a genuinely invested resident, I believe I would contribute to the board’s responsibility and obligation to the residents of Pagosa Lakes.

Dan Mayer

My wife Ann and I have lived in Pagosa Lakes (Meadows 3) for 8 years. We’re retired and both serve: Ann on the Pickleball Club Board of Directors, and I’m on the PLPOA Board. We regularly attend Grace Church. Our dogs Callie and Cooper are rescues from the Humane Society of Pagosa Springs and Rugby’s Rescues. They love to go for walks at the Riverwalk and near the PLPOA Recreation Center.Maybe we’ll see you there.

I retired after 35 years in a number of positions at IBM, including many years managing Senior Project Managers who were responsible for bringing advanced computer systems to market. I have served on the PLPOA Board for 3 years and attended monthly Board meetings for several years prior to being elected. I have volunteered to work on several sub-committees in order to update PLPOA Policies and Rules documents. The Board has chosen me to be President for the past 2 years.

I intend to continue pressing for additional recreational amenities to keep up with the growth and changing needs of PLPOA. That would include more trails, additional facilities on the Rec Center property , lake improvements, and continued improvements to mailboxes. I’d also like PLPOA to engage regularly with the County Commissioners and Staff to jointly work on community needs.

Patrick Moore

I was raised in Oklahoma and acquired degrees in Letters and Microbiology as well as a Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. I practiced law in Oklahoma from 1976 through my retirement in 2019. My wife and I have resided full-time in Pagosa Springs since 2019. I'm an active member of the PLPOA as well as a Meals on Wheels volunteer. I have no financial or business interest related to the PLPOA. My hobbies include golf, fishing and hiking.

As a Director of the PLPOA I hope to serve the PLPOA community by aiding in continuing to apply the Association rules and by-laws fairly with an eye towards proactively helping the members maintain their property values and achieve the goals they have for their property within those rules.

Relationships IT'S ABOUT

At Jann C Pitcher Real Estate, our relationships are everything to us.

Our relationships with each other, with our clients, and with all the small businesses in Pagosa that help us buy and sell property.

It’s also our relationships with our community organizations and non-profits. Treating everyone with respect and care is at the core of everything we do.

We are here for each other and we are here for you!

The Greenbelts

A year ago, March 2022, the Association was successful in acquiring the nearly 800 acres of greenbelts and open spaces in the community after a long and sometimes drawn-out negotiation with Wyndham. The greenbelts were initially platted as open spaces, buffers, and utility corridors in the community by the original developer, Eaton International. Eventually Fairfield Inc. took over ownership of those interests and in the late 1980’s, filed for bankruptcy after an economic downturn. At that point, Wyndham took ownership of a few remaining unsold properties, the timeshare complexes in South Village Lake and the greenbelts and open spaces. It has always been the Association wish to acquire these properties for a number of reasons; primarily to help ensure the well-being of these properties and to protect home and property values within the community.

The previous developers did very little in the way of improvements or up-keep of these properties and as a result many of these open spaces need some overdue maintenance, primarily in the form of reducing wildfire fuels such as oak brush and overly crowded trees. One of the first things that the Association General Manager and staff did was to begin developing a long-range management plan for these open space properties. Utilizing field survey work that was done a few years ago and meeting with local resources like the Pagosa District Ranger staff (US Forest Service), Wildfire Adapted Partnership, and the Pagosa Fire Protection District, a wildfire fuel reduction plan was developed for the greenbelts.

Based on discussions with the Fire District, USFS and Wildfire Adapted Partnership, a 5-year management plan was developed to implement wildfire fuel reduction work in the greenbelts. The early focus will be on areas that are in proximity to higher risk zones, like the National Forest and Martinez Canyon, where larger wildfires could threaten the communities. The 5-year plan describes work to be completed sooner in the Twincreek Village and the Hatcher and Highland Estates subdivisions, followed by work in Martinez Mountain Estates, Vista, and Lake Forest Estates. In years three and four of the plan, thinning work would be done in areas like Pines I and II, Lake Pagosa Park, Lakeview Estates and Lakewood Village. To finish out the plan, other subdivisions would be addressed like Trails and Chris Mt. II.

There also may be some opportunities to work

in close cooperation with the Forest Service where a joint project could address thinning work along the National Forest boundary on both sides of the fence. Not all the greenbelts need a whole lot of work, many of them are just buffers with natural grasses and open. Many of the greenbelts are in good to fair condition, but a substantial number of them will need to be addressed in the coming years. Keep in mind that the Forest Service has been working to do heavy wildfire fuel reduction work over the past 20 years in the Turkey Springs area which borders Pagosa Lakes. Fuel reduction projects in Turkey Springs has included prescribed burns, mechanical thinning and hand thinning. The majority of the Turkey Springs area to our immediate west has been treated in one form or another which has helped significantly reduce the threat of major wildfire in the forested zones bordering the community.

Work in Pagosa Lakes was already started in 2022, when two large greenbelts in Twincreek Village and Highland Estates were treated and thinned by a contractor hired by the Association. A grant was obtained through Wildfire Adapted Partnership that paid for 40% of the costs which was a nice savings for the Association. We anticipate that grant and cost assistance funding should be in place over the next few years, and in fact the Association has once again qualified for a grant to help complete work this summer. The Highlands Estates subdivision greenbelts will be completed this year with work in those greenbelts along the National Forest boundary and larger greenbelts on the hillside between Cimarrona Circle and Hills Circle. Additionally, a large greenbelt in Martinez Mt II will be treated this summer, a 40-acre tract that is situated above Mockingbird Dr and Woodland Dr running up a hillside to Cameo Ct and Piedra Road.

All of the work being proposed will generally conform to Colorado State Forest Service standards for Zone II and III where ladder fuels such as oak brush will be reduced, and in some cases, trees will be thinned to achieve more desirable spacing. The goal being to help reduce the threat of dangerous crown fire conditions should a wildfire ever

PLPOA Updating Strategic Plan & Survey Results

By General Manager Allen Roth, CMCA, AMS, PCAM

The Board of Directors is working on updating the Strategic Plan. This plan is necessary for the Association to focus on short and long-term goals and objectives. This document provides direction for operational, reserve and capital needs of the community and establishes goals and objectives that are important to the Owners and Community. The Plan serves as a guide for creating consistency. So, as new Board Members and staff become involved in the Association, they can refer to this document to continue toward the desired goals and objectives. The Strategic Plan is not a document which is completed or ends on a particular date, rather it is a working document in which changes and additions can be made to reflect new priorities, changing conditions and to remain current. The strategic plan will contain many goals which require the creation or updating of other important documents. Some of these consist of the creation of a Financial Strategy, updating the Recreation Master Plan and the 7Year Parks and Trails Master Plan and the identification of financial and staff resource allocations. Updating the strategic plan ensures the Association will have a path to follow for community success rather than wandering through the forest.

In April, the Association sent out an owner survey. A total of 881 representatives of 6 different owner status categories participated in the survey.

We thank all PLPOA Owners for taking the time to complete the survey.

The survey results will provide information on updating the existing plan and creating strategies for the coming years. The information in the survey focused on what PLPOA should be working-on going forward to continue making the community a great place to live. The results were not simply based on what the majority wants. Answers were broken down into age groups and owner status such as full-time, parttime, seasonal and landlords. This was extremely helpful as the results showed that answers from the age groups and owner status varied. Households with children have different priorities than those households of retirees. The same with full-time owner versus a part-time owner. So strategic priorities in the strategic plan can be developed to encompass more owners rather than simply going with the majority and leaving all others out. The answers to some of the questions will also be helpful in working with other organizations. The PLPOA Board of Directors held its first joint work session with the County Commissioners and plans to hold meetings quarterly. The survey information will assist in working together going forward on various issues.

The survey will also benefit the various standing committees to develop recommendations to the

PLPOA encourages owners to get involved with the committees to assist in our continued efforts to always improve in keeping Pagosa Lakes a great place to live and play.

Keep Pagosa Lakes Looking Great

We have all come to live in Pagosa Lakes for a variety of reasons. One common reason is the community aesthetics and maintenance of the neighborhoods. For those who keep their homes and yards well maintained, the association thanks you for your efforts and good examples. Maintenance on your home never ends. In order to protect curb appeal and home values, each resident must continue to effectively maintain his or her property. To assist you, we have developed a list of home maintenance items to pay particular attention to and encourage all residents to keep the community of Pagosa Lakes looking first rate.

Exterior paint. Check for cracking, peeling and discoloration. Paint is a quick and easy way to keep your property looking fresh, new and clean. It will also protect against corrosion, weathering and insects. Remember, if you want to change the exterior color on your home, you will need ECC approval first.

Landscaping. Landscaping is extremely important to our community’s curb appeal. Please remove dead plants, weeds and branches. Keep shrubs properly pruned and flowers well-tended. Keep yards mowed and clean. Do not park your vehicle on the lawn.

Driveways and sidewalks. Repair cracks or other deformities on the surface. Remove weeds from sidewalk joints and debris from driveways and sidewalks. Do not use driveways for storage or auto repairs.

Storage. Please do not allow miscellaneous items to accumulate around the outside of the property. Storage of items should be inside the garage or shed.

Roofs. Please ensure your roofs are properly maintained.

Put out trash cans the same day of pick-up and retrieve them the same day.

Awnings and decks. Repair or replace worn or damaged fixtures, surfaces and railings. Check fittings for stability and paint / stain all items at least annually.

Winter items such as snowmobiles, snow-blowers or plows must be stored away out of sight during the summer season.

The Pagosa Lakes Property Owners thank you for taking pride in keeping our community’s curb appeal looking great.

What Has Happened

TO OUR SENSE OF COMMUNITY?

By Keith Cramer, Department Of Community Standards Manager

Since COVID, there has been an increase in the number of owners commenting that we are losing our sense of community. We have a diverse list of owner types (including full-time, part-time, investment, and 2nd home owners) and we all have a vested interest in improving our sense of community.

Our community is a place for individuals to find their identity and security, and to experience the feeling of home and belonging. As humans, we are community oriented and need to be a part of the activities and jobs in which we can share commonalities with others and not feel alone. Yet, people are feeling more disconnected than ever. We have lost our basic virtues of humanity, love, and the ability to feel empathy. Do we know what it means to really understand what a person is feeling, offer comfort, be patient, or respect another person’s dignity?

Belonging to a community is a basic human need.

Belonging to a community is a basic human need. People can’t go through life solely on their own, they need human interaction. Because of recent traumas, such as school shootings and political division, isolating oneself in order to avoid contact with others may seem to be the solution, but it is not. We must revive ourselves through healing together, not apart. If we separate ourselves from growing and collaborating with others, we will fail to progress. We are social beings who need others in order to fully live as human beings. Rediscovering our sense of community begins with empathy, being present, engaging with others and respecting human dignity.

This holds especially true when dealing with neighbors. Our community has lost its ability to “agree to disagree”. People have become absolutely vitriolic if anyone does not 100% agree with them.

Technology, which should be connecting community members, seems to be isolating us from one another. Social media allows us to post things most people would not have the nerve to say in face-to-face conversations.

It is easier to scream over the phone at whoever answers than to knock on a neighbor’s door and have a polite conversation. When we are not bound to wholesome friends and good community, we become more focused on being self-serving.

Community holds us accountable for our actions and allows us to look outward rather than in. The human experience of personal interaction conveys emotions far beyond a phone call, social media post, or an email. Most people are more willing to reason in person. Technology has stripped that from our communications.

Nowadays, we want instant gratification, immediate response, problems fixed immediately and for solutions to be resolved - all without getting involved. People want to complain about a lot of things, but wish to remain anonymous and don’t want any direct involvement. We are always in such a state of ‘busyness’ that we lose our sense of awareness, our ability to establish basic personal connections to others. We’ve become numb to human feelings. We need to rediscover love, compassion, and compromise. Power off the phone, TV, laptop and look around. Stop using your computer and the internet to complain. We are alive and there are people that need us. So, let’s start taking responsibility, ownership and rediscover what a “community” really means.

At times it seems overwhelming - how do we start fixing the problem? How do we start building back our sense of community? As with any large problem, the solution lies in breaking down the problem into smaller bits. You don't have to clean up the ocean, just start with the puddle down the street. Small actions when aggregated, manifest in a movement. Being friendly is contagious. I’m happy to live here and enjoy meeting and talking with happy friendly people. But it seems like there are more really angry people these days. We can’t allow them to negatively impact our sense of community.

Here are some ways to get active in your community:

Volunteer! There are animal shelters, retirement homes, meals on wheels, and others that would welcome the assistance

Introduce yourself to all of your neighbors

Say “hello” to people you pass

Practice communicating to your neighbors about things that bother you

Find commonality not differences

Check out or start up local events in your neighborhood, such as music or art festivals, block parties, or BBQ’s

Donate books to the library or clothing to the thrift stores

Shop local - go to the farmer’s market or check out locally made shops

Dine at local restaurants

Join or start a class/activities group and meet new friends in the community

Participate in the community garden

Become more involved in your HOA, volunteer for a committee or run for the Board

By Larry D. Lynch

Hard to believe it’s already time for the summer newsletter articles to be submitted, seems like just a few weeks ago we had some very persistent ice still holding on in parts of the lakes and a runoff that was exceptional. The community experienced some areas of minor flooding this past early spring when we hit a few warm days and a significant amount of snow melted at once. A couple of roadways were temporarily washed out when ditches exceeded capacity, creeks and even seasonal waterways were raging. The lake inlets and outlets were functioning at high capacity for a couple of weeks which resulted in a nice deep water flush of the lakes and ensured we would be at full storage into the early summer. It also means that we should be in good shape with the higher altitude snowpack and water availability from the Four-Mile Creek, Dutton diversion pipeline this summer that feeds Hatcher and Steven reservoirs. Hopefully we will see some consistent monsoon rain activity later this summer which would make for a perfect scenario.

I want to update everyone on a couple of lake improvement projects this summer. We will be installing a new permanent, vaulted restroom building at Hatcher Lake this summer near the Piedra boat ramp area that will be replacing a portable toilet at that location. We also plan to install an identical unit at the Dam area at Lake Pagosa. These are fully concrete structures, including the roof that also include a buried concrete vault, ventilation and gravel entry. We also plan to install a new floating fishing pier/dock at the jetty area on the west side of Hatcher Lake. We do have a large floating dock at Hatcher Lake that is situated over near the dam, this second dock will accommodate summertime use at a very popular fishing location near the west boat ramp and near the PAWSD water treatment plant.

No significant changes to the fishing and boating programs this year, prices for annual, weekly, and daily permits remain the same. We are however seeing a significant increase in fish costs over the past two to three years, we are paying close to $6 per pound for rainbow trout for example. In fact, fish prices have increased nearly 30% since 2019 which has resulted in fewer fish being able to be stocked in the lakes. We want to encourage everyone to be aware of the costs in the fishing resource, encourage anglers to practice safe catch and release ethics when you do not plan on taking the fish home for dinner. We highly recommend barbless hooks for this practice, do not remove the fish from the water if possible and gently remove the hook with needle nose pliers or similar tool. We may have to consider reductions in the daily bag limits in the future to help conserve our recreational fish resources.

Brush Collection Area

The Association is continuing to offer a free brush collection site and chipping operation for owners who are doing wildfire defensible space projects or spring cleanup where we can accept brush and limbs up to 8inches in diameter. This facility is located at our maintenance building site at 360 Sam Houston Blvd. and is open Wednesday through Friday 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. till noon. We did implement some load limits last year where we can only accept a maximum of 3 truck loads of brush or 2 truck-trailer combinations from each owner or property. We are operating a 12-year-old horizontal drum grinder that is prone to mechanical issues and we just have to set some limits on this free service. There are other options available to owners who are doing larger thinning projects on their property including a fully funded Chipper rebate program through Wildfire Adapted

Partnership, some cost share grant opportunities as well. The Association has a list of WAP approved tree removal and wildfire mitigation contactors listed on the website. As a result of our chipping operations we have loads of excellent wood chip mulch material available for free to owners and you are welcome to come anytime and help yourself. We have also scheduled an hour every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. where we will have our tractor available at the site to load trucks and trailers with free wood chip mulch. This is great material for use in landscaping beds, low areas on your property or even for creating meandering walking paths.

Spring Lawns and Weeds

Spring and early summer are excellent times to get your lawn and property looking good for the season. Many owners have various areas of turf lawn on their property and applying a spring and summer fertilizer formula can help develop strong root systems and actually help you save water, a healthy deep rooted grass requires less water. Make sure to apply according to label directions, over applying or underapplying can lead to wasted efforts and even side effects such as nitrogen and nutrient runoff into adjacent waterways and lakes. For those owners living on the lakes or near the lakes the Association carries a special reduced nutrient, slow-release spring and summer fertilizer available in 50 pound bags.

Weeds can be a big problem especially in wet years like what we experienced this past spring. No doubt that common weeds are a problem for most owners. There are many ways to control weeds without the use of pesticides, a strong deeply rooted grass cover can often outcompete weeds if cared for. Mowing at certain times by keeping annual weeds from flowering and seeding is another strategy along with hand pulling. If you have an area on the property where you want to install some xeriscape or rock work, you can cover the ground for a few weeks with black plastic which will in essence bake those weed seeds and root systems to give you a weed free zone to landscape after a couple of months. This can be effective over a garden area too, if you have a site on the property where you envision a garden you might consider this method.

Noxious weeds can be another issue. Noxious weeds are non-native invasive species listed by the State of Colorado as a serious concern and can displace native plants and reduce property values. These include species such as Musk thistle, Canada Thistle, Leafy Spurge, White Top and Yellow Toadflax to name a few. The Association does have a new publication/brochure available on the website that was developed specifically for Archuleta County. There are some great identification pictures as well as life cycle information and control methods for each of these species of weeds. Control methods can include cultural and mechanical options, or even biological control methods. Sometimes, however, an herbicide may be indicated to help you get these weeds under control and the publication does go into detail on which herbicide options are effective for each specific noxious weed. Always apply herbicides only according to label directions and mornings work best for application before any breezes start up.

The Association does offer a program where we can assist with heavy or persistent noxious weed infestations on a property, and typically for a small fee we can come out to the property and help to get these weed problems under control.

If you knew you could have this for as little as 68 cents a week, we know you’d say, “why didn’t I sign up sooner?” It’s the best decision you’ll make this week.
