Park Amenities

The HOA board would like to thank everyone who commented on the proposal to add amenities to the HOA. We have received and reviewed the comments and suggestions. The board has decided to move ahead and hire an architect/project manager to fully design and get the necessary permits to construct the following:

1) A park on Rifleman Drive. This park will be fully landscaped, but no pavilion or playground will be added at this time.

2) Landscaping improvements on the lot on Browning Lane. The Browning Lane lot will not be fully landscaped.  The sections of the property near the street and along the path will be landscaped to improve the aesthetics of the property and functionality of the path.

3) Landscaping along Foxhunter Drive. The Foxhunter Drive open space will not be fully landscaped. Only the park strip and the section of the property near the street up to the back of the headwalls of the culverts for Haight Creek will be landscaped with rock and other xeriscape features.

Also, the HOA board is currently working with the city to modify the conservation easement to be able to add some of these amenities. A public hearing was held on October 18th, 2016. At that meeting the city council asked that we clarify and provide more details of what specifically was being asked to be modified. The board has worked with Farmington City staff to develop a detailed request. This new request has been submitted. Farmington City Staff have prepared a report that is available for review here: Packet. The amendment is being discussed tomorrow night (Tuesday, February 7^th) at the City Council Meeting.  The proposal to modify the easement will allow for the improvements along Foxhunter Drive. We are also requesting the ability for small landscaping changes along the trail system and along the HOA property boundaries. The easement modification does not allow for more than this and the HOA is not planning to modify the open space in any way other than along Foxhunter drive now or in the near future. We are also requesting that the City pave the trail system.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let the board know. 

We would like to be aware of anyone’s concerns before the City Council Meeting.
