Well, it is March and Corral progress is marching along! If you have been near the Breckenridge area, you have seen lots of work being done. The entire area known as "Lot A" is finally being landscaped. It will look so nice once it is completed. The ground is being cleared and made usable, including the area where our Canine Corral off-leash dog park will be located. Our Landscape Committee has designed an attractive space for plants, trees and irrigation to replace the current "natural" weeds, thorns, rocks, holes, and ant hills. Since a section of Lot A inside of the corral will be used as an off-leash area for our dog residents,and their dedicated owners, it will not require the irrigation, plants, and trees that will be placed in the surrounding areas of Lot A. That area will be landscaped with much less expensive decomposed granite instead. It will be a cost savings, but it will still be attractive and the entire area will now fit in with the beautiful landscaping that Four Seasons is known for. Once the ground work has been laid, we will be able to begin creating our long- awaited Canine Corral! With the funds and generous donations we have received, we will install a special metal gate that will hold a keyless lock system which will allow the gate to be opened with a fob. Fobs will be issued to members who have met all of the requirements for safe and neighborly use of this facility. Then we will install a Doggie Waste Station in the large dog side and another one in the small dog side. Wattle rolls will be installed along the lower fence to help prevent damage or loss of the decomposed granite from erosion. We will mount the special Honor Plaques to the fence for all to admire as they walk by. There were four Honor Benches sponsored and we will place two in each side. It was decided not to place trees inside due to the expense and future maintenance issues; however, we have a goal to install shade structures in each side once we have raised sufficient funds. Everyone involved is very excited to finally see progress towards this long-awaited goal. Many dedicated people have worked very hard for this for well over three years. Now that it is finally coming to fruition, we will begin to plan a celebration event (post- pandemic, of course) to recognize and show appreciation for all of you who have played a part in making this dream a reality. Stay tuned... The Council meets the first and third Thursday of each month at 10 am on Zoom; please join us. ~ Sandra Butler-Roberts, sandirae@ icloud.com 22 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2021 Canine Corral Council The Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD) Land Manager met with HOA leadership last month to update the status of the conservancy transition to the HOA. She opened the meeting by commenting that our conservancy is being well maintained and she has encouraged the regulatory agency to visit and see how well it looks, especially compared to similar conservancies in southern California. The K. Hovnanian manager who supervised the development here at Four Seasons has been rehired, supposedly to address lingering issues. Hopefully he will bring closure to the undeveloped area north of the HOA near the front gate and to the status of the IERCD and HOA endowments. They are necessary to formally establish the conservancy, register it with the county, and turn it over to the HOA. ~ Len Tavernetti Ad Hoc Conservancy Before (stay tuned for next month's Breeze for "After")
