"NO OUTLET" signs: The Emergency Services committee and the Fisher’s Peak
Fire Department have asked that some type of “No Outlet” sign be placed at the
intersection of the 37 dead-end roads on the ranch. The universal symbol for
“dead-end road” or “no outlet” will be researched by Harriet. These symbols
will be made from thin metal and bolted onto the appropriate street signs, at
the end closest to the dead end street. Harriet will also investigate a
supplier for these metal symbols. Once the research has been done, the sign
design will be checked with the Emergency Services committee, the Fire
Department, the Road Committee, and Topar Welding for a fabrication
bid.

Hiding the emergency road barricades stored
behind the guard shack: Framed wooden walls will be constructed and attached to the side walls and roof of the guard shack then covered with siding. A hinged door will be placed in the side walls at both sides of the guard shack. Both the barricades and the ranch emergency phone will be housed behind the shack and these walls. Materials for the walls will be sought from property owners who have recently built on the ranch and labor will be provided by ranch members. The side walls will be painted to match the guard shack.

a private covenant community. In the middle of the wooden sign will be a
large area where the rest of the pertinent ranch information will be listed.

Guard shack area: All signs will be removed from their scattered places around the entrance and incorporated into the one large sign or eliminated if redundant or no longer relevant. Current basic paint scheme will be kept, but door will be painted to match the trim. Weeds and scrub brush will be removed by volunteer workers. Native rocks and no-maintenance native plantings will be placed near the shack but far away from areas that would interfere with the snow plow. If approved by Qwest, the large wooden sign will be installed in front of the phone transformer boxes.
