Please be advised that starting next week, road and infrastructure improvements will be underway for the new Elk Ridge Bluffs neighborhood on Promontory Ranch Road, just east of the lower three-way stop intersection with Ranch Club Trail.

New signs will be posted at the gatehouses to alert residents when mail has been delivered for the day. Please look for these signs in the windows.

Park City Fire District has remarked that Promontory homes are uniquely prepared for fire, due to the use of con-combustible exterior materials, proper vent screening, and incorporating defensible space when installing landscaping. We are not likely to see a catastrophic fire that engulfs the whole community, as there are not enough big fuel sources nor do we get strong enough winds to cause a spread, and our trails and golf courses serve as excellent fuel breaks. Rather, we are most susceptible to individual homesite damage from drifting embers, so it’s important to clear out all dead vegetation, especially from gutters, and cover vents and other openings with a 1/16-1/8” screen.

Please consider these other simple tips to be prepared:

• Prune tree limbs so the lowest branches are several feet above the ground.
• Fire embers are hot and travel easily in the breeze, so cover any exterior attic, soffit, or under-eave vents with metal wire mesh to prevent sparks from entering the home.
• Clear out dead, dry vegetation under all decks and patios and any that directly abuts the home.
• Consult with PCFD, who make themselves available, free of charge, for homesite evaluations. The Fire Inspection office can be reached at 435-940-2500.
• Ensure your home is marked with a visible, easy-to-read, non-combustible address identifier, in the event emergency response is needed at your home.
• Review the many informational resources are available to us from PCFD and Firewise.
• Be sure to familiarize yourself with all Promontory exits in the case of an extreme emergency. View the map below.

With the arrival of spring, we expect many Promontory residents will be eager to beautify their homesites. If you are considering significant changes to your landscaping, please contact Christine Morr prior to doing any work to ensure your plans are consistent with the Design Guidelines.

Please consider other Promontory owners when taking your dogs out:

• Even if your dogs are “friendly” they must remain on leash and under your control.
• Dogs should be on a leash at all times, unless at the Dog Park or the off-leash trail leading up to the Dog Park.
• Please clean up your animals’ waste. Bags are provided at the Dog Park and at various locations on the trails.
• Please properly dispose of the waste bags in the garbage cans provided or otherwise. DO NOT leave these bags on the trails or elsewhere.
