Bear Sightings

Recently, we have had black bear sightings – on upper Blue Spruce between Maple and Columbine, Cliff Rose, Violet, etc. The animal is described as a small-sized sow (female). Please make sure your guests are alerted and take the necessary precautions with children and pets. DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR GARBAGE OUTSIDE.

P.S. Here is a recent photo of a bear on Tanglewood.

Financial Information

Some of you have had difficulty getting into the private (owners-only) website. Until we can fix those problems, we are temporarily posting financial information on the public website. You can find that information on the Financial page under the tab labeled Important Info. You can also click here to access the Financial page directly.

Website Update

Timberlakes Subscribers:

NOTE: This post is a long one. Too long. Most of you won’t care about anything in it, but for those of you who do care, I hope this will shed some light on your website frustrations.

I understand that several owners in the board meeting Wednesday in SLC expressed their general unhappiness with the new websites. I would like to report on the progress we have made with both of the websites and address your concerns.

First of all, we currently have 732 subscribers to timberlakesusa.com. We appreciate each owner who has subscribed to our Board email alerts and the few of you who have emailed me with suggestions for improving our content. As you know, we migrated all of our subscribers and lots of owner information to the new public website during the second week in July 2013. In addition, we moved sensitive financial and other information from the public website to a new private website that may only be accessed by owners. Compounding all of this new development, we changed ISPs (Internet Service Provider) and are finalizing migrating our website to a new server.

What this means for our owners is that we have a state-of-the-art, user-friendly, faster website. For the web development folks in the back room, it means we have a more feature-rich, more stable, quicker, more protected environment in which to share Timberlakes information. It also means we have lots of headaches in the short run.

While we have fixed the bugs in our public website, there are still a couple of serious shortcomings with the private website. The link to the private website from the public website is broken and some important information is still missing from the private site. […]

Free Wood Chips

The wood chips in the main parking lot are available for any  Timberlakes Property Owner. On Memorial Day, from 9:00 – 11:00, there will be a loader standing by to help you load chips onto your trailer or in your truck bed.  Marini, our new General Manager, has volunteered to assist with running the loader. This will be a good opportunity to introduce yourself and meet him.

The deposit pile is open for dumping dead wood, logs, and branches as of Memorial Day.  No lumber, construction material, weeds, or any non organic material can be put in the pile.

Please help us get the USA state grant money available to cover the cost of the chipping and other fire prevention efforts in Timberlakes.   Be sure to fill out the form each time you clear dead fall from your lot(s). A matching grant form will be available on site, and everyone is requested to fill one out when depositing materials.

Thank you,

Theresa Gubler

President’s Update

To: Timberlakes Property Owners

We are pleased to announce that on Friday, April 12, 2013, the Board brought to a close the issues related to the closing of Blue Spruce from Cottonwood up to Green Briar.  The Association has purchased lot 5 in plat 22.  This allows us to meet the requirements set by Wasatch County to obtain a release from the “Stop Work” order the County placed on Blue Spruce on Sept 28, 2009. The County required us to obtain a release from the lot 5 owners and the only viable option those owners gave us was to purchase the lot.

The Association has hired Epic Engineering to head up the construction project on Blue Spruce, which includes the section between Cottonwood and Green Briar, including Cut Off Road (sometimes referred to as Short Cut Road).

The Board hopes to obtain the release from the County this month and then Epic can place the project out to bid. We estimate the bid process will take 4-6 weeks to complete. At the conclusion of the bidding, we will review and award the bid as soon as possible. If we do not run into any additional complications the project will be completed this summer.

To summarize the project, we will complete the dirt fill on some sections of the road, grading and compacting the finished surface. This section of Blue Spruce, for now, will be surfaced with gravel, as will Cut Off Road,.

The Board continues to work on issues related to lower Blue Spruce road (near the beaver ponds) as we are still debating who owns the rights to the road (see my previous posting).

I will keep you updated as we move forward with addressing the other road […]

Finally, I plead with you to consider running for election to the Board. Each year, we have the opportunity to elect three owners to represent all of us for a three-year term on the Board. The Association cannot function without the owners getting involved. This is your opportunity to do something more than complain about the Board; you can volunteer to stand for election and bring your ideas to the table. Please complete the Declaration of Candidacy Form and get it to the office.

Thank you […]

We are not the Water Company, Part II

Timberlakes Owner:

Although we are not the Timberlakes Water Company, they have recently changed their rate structure, which resulted in your February water bill looking quite different than it has in the past. If you would like to see their new rate structure or contact them with any questions about your water bill, visit their website at
