The annual HOA assessments and HOA insurance billing will be mailed out to all King's Deer property owners on December 1st. The annual assessments continue to be $300, and the HOA insurance is $25 for 2024, for a total billed of $325. Payments can be made by check mailed to the PO box as shown on the invoice. For your 24 hour convenience, there is a secure lock box outside near the door of the HOA office. This year the HOA offers credit card payment through Zego. (scroll down to related message for more detail.)  Many owners use their bank's bill pay feature to make the payment without having to physically write a check. If you choose to use the bill pay feature, please be sure to set up the payment using your property street address (or a significant portion thereof) as the account number. If you have an existing bill payment set up with your bank, please make sure that the amount paid to the HOA is $325 to match the amount that is billed for 2024. Payments are due and must be received by the HOA office no later than January 1, 2024. Payment receipts are emailed to all owners that have paid and for which the HOA has a valid email address. If you do not received the confirmation email, check you junk mail folder and if still not found, verify with the HOA office that your payment has been received and that we have a valid email address on file. Late notices will be mailed, certified mail, and posted to your property in accordance with state law, and subject to an additional service charge.

The Architectural Control Committee meets only one day in November (November 9) and one day in December (December 14). Meetings are conducted via Zoom. Applicants are urged to attend the ACC meeting when your application is reviewed so that if there are any questions or concerns, they can be resolved during the meeting. Also, new construction applications--houses and detached garages--usually require at least two ACC meetings for review before the ACC votes on the final approval. Please plan accordingly if you have an urgent project.

Update 11/9/2023 - The project manager, Bret Dilts, reached out to the HOA and provide the following update. Due to weather, the new project start date is Monday 11/13/23. Aware of the possibility for winter weather events, the project will be completed is sections - from intersection to intersection. This reduces the impact on snow plows and the community.  Like Kershaw, Royal Troon will be taken down and reconstructed with a CTS (compact substrate) road base. A layer of asphalt will be laid on top before moving to the next section. When all of the sections are complete, a final layer of asphalt will be placed over the entire road proving an even continuous surface. Bret confirmed that the asphalt plants will stay open as long as they need them, and they have an established method for cold weather operations. 

Update 11/5/2023 - The Board of Directors is happy to announce that project start date for construction work on Royal Troon is Thursday, 11/9/2023. On 11/1/2023, the county posted a message board at the end of Royal Troon near County Line Road. The test bore holes were completed a couple of weeks ago and utility markings were conducted last week. If the earlier Kershaw project is an indication of things to come, be prepared for two to three months of extensive road work.

Additional comments 9/27/2023 - An update from the county roads department informed us that a contract for Royal Troon has been let, but only to conduct boring samples to assess the substrate. They are concerned they will encounter the same problems as Kershaw (inadequote road base) and need to do a lot more base preparation. If the extra work is needed, the county wants to include this in the final contract.

We have confirmation from the El Paso County Department of Public Works (DPW) that Royal Troon Drive, from Kings Deer Pt to County Line Rd will be resurfaced this paving season. The project will involve a complete rehabilitation and new paving due to soil conditions. DPW is working with the contractor for the proper pavement subgrade design and working to get this scheduled, but we do not have a firm date set. Door hangers and message boards should be displayed at least two weeks in advance of the project start. We will provide additional information as it becomes available to us.
