Dear Neighbors,
As most of you are aware,  the Master’s Association will be repairing the drain valves, the slope and the crest of the  dam as was directed from the Utah State Dam Safety Inspector.  This work was scheduled to take place last fall but was halted when the Master’s Association chose to explore a second bid that would simplify the work and reduce cost. We now have the details in order and  have begun draining the lake to prepare for these repairs.

The contractor plans to start work on the dam face next week and will likely take 1-2 weeks to complete that part of the job.  The gate vault will be delivered in 2-3 weeks in time for the weir and pipe work to be readied.  The job is intended to be finished by the end of October. 

This job has been coordinated by volunteers.  A significant amount of time has been put into the planning and will be put into execution of this project. Your time and cooperation will be greatly appreciated over the next few weeks.  Please let me know if you are willing to help with moving fish, removing weeds or anything else that comes up. I  would like open communication during this project.  Please send me your email address and I will make a list and update you frequently.

The Little Lake gates and dam work is beginning this Monday Sept. 26, 2011.  The Master Association will begin draining the Lake today Sept. 20, 2011.  The lake will be lowered a few feet to start with while the construction on the dam is done.  The drain boxes will arrive in two to three weeks.  Before the Lake is drained we will relocated the fish to the Large Lake.  The project should be finished by the end of October.  If you have questions or concerns you can call Robyn at 435-645-9342  

The Masters HOA has just finished a association boat ramp that any member can use on the penninsulia on the big lake.  There is a post to lock and secure your boat if a member wanted to leave equipment at the new beach area.  This is located by the south shore berm.  

A reminder to all community members whose property is within the Snyderville Basin Development Code 10-2-4 setbacks of 100’ from a naturally occurring year round stream, lake, pond or reservoir; or within 40’ of any wetland (see Northshore Plat), that any construction requiring county building approval will, if within the above setbacks, require a variance to the setback limits. The above setbacks are in addition to established setbacks within individual private property boundaries. Contact the Summit County Planning Dept for further clarification, (615- 3124).Wanted; anyone who is interested in working on a proposal to improve the Association owned west berm on the big lake, and the park on the little lake, to provide better access to the lake waters for those community members who do not live adjacent to the lakeshore properties. Please contact your HOA Master Association representative, or the Association president, Bill Noland 435-602-0287
