You may have seen the radar speeding signs that were installed this year on Fremont Road and Lewis Loop.  The HOA purchased these signs and is responsible for downloading the data that the signs record.  The busiest times in our subdivision were (as expected) the 4th of July weekend and Raspberry Days.  The charts those weeks and the reports for the specific days (7/5-6 & 8/1-3) are now available on the HOA & County Documents page under the Member drop down menu.

Bear Lake County provided some July data which can also be found at the above referenced site as well as a summary of all the data we have obtained.

The Bear Lake County Fire Department has provided a personal Wildland Fire Action Guide.  You can access the document in MicroSoft Word format here or in PDF format here.

This noxious weed called Dyer's Woad is quite prevalent in some areas of Bear Lake West.  Property owners should remove these weeds as soon as possible due to the fact that they are very invasive.  Upon removing the weeds, they should be bagged and deposited in the BLW dumpsters to prevent seeding.

On April 13, 2019, Brandee Wells from the Bear Lake Soil & Water Conservation District attended the HOA meeting to announce and explain the grants for their cleanup of the POA and HOA for fire prevention.  Here is a summary of her presentation:

• The grant for the POA cleanup is in place and the cleanup will begin soon.  The grant requires that the community contribute which is why residents or those they hire need to turn in the time they spend on the cleanup.
• The application for the HOA grant has been submitted though cleanup cannot begin until the grant is approved which may take place in 2020 or 2021.
• The cleanup for the POA and HOA will entail clearing the areas around county roads including easements.  Private land will not be cleared without the owner’s permission and signed form.
• Brandy attended the April 13, 2019 HOA meeting and is willing to present an update at any time, especially if/when and HOA grant becomes effective.
