Twenty Years Ago in Cherokee Meadows
At the 2003 annual meeting, the option of changing from a road association to a homeowner’s association was discussed, because of an increase in full-time residents. The legal fees for this change would be $10,000, therefore, this option was not pursued. The Larimer County Forestry Department gave a presentation about wildfire safety, including a program to evaluate mitigation effectiveness.
In 2004, nine culverts were marked, cleaned and extended for a cost of $1,800. Personal mailboxes were replaced by locking pedestal mailboxes and a package locker. Larimer County began a process to give official names to all roads in the Cherokee Park area.
In 2005, CMRA was incorporated again as a non-profit organization, previously this certification had lapsed. The covenants will expire in 2008, and planning began to review and revise them. The annual budget consisted of $6,800 in annual assessments (dues) and $3,900 from the grazing lease.
