plan on making this an annual event.
If you look at the Race for the Cure picture in today’s’ paper (10/06/08)
you can see the banner, “Jill’s Weatherstone Warriors”.
Thanks for sharing this special event with the Lamb/Batal families and

chemicals found in cosmetics and body care products. This information is
related to cancer causing toxins. Please share these articles and websites

Construction Update
by Skip Wehner
Our plan (with Shea's
cooperation) is to post a monthly construction update using a map provided
by Shea. Please note that this map will never be completely accurate due to
factors such as weather, contractors changing schedules, and time delay in
getting the information from the field to Weatherstone. That being said,
Shea wants to be a "good neighbor" and has made efforts to help communicate
with it's neighboring Weatherstone residents. Please also note that this is
a GRADING schedule. The heavy grading along the affected property lines
(primarily Weathersfield Way) is nearly completed. Note that this is for the
heavy grading and over-grading (backfilling). There will still be other
"lighter" grading and construction going on as the infrastructure is put in.
If there are specific questions, Shea has asked residents to begin by
contacting: Tim Mangnall, Construction Manager 303.791.8108 x-3081
Note that Tim works in the
field and the number given is his office number, so please give him a
reasonable amount of time to return your call.

Shea Homes Development Update
Here is a follow-up on
recent events regarding the Shea Homes Preliminary Development Plan #118,
Revision 6.
Shea Homes has presented a
revised plan for Lots 6-17 that back to Weatherstone along Weathersfield
Way. The lots were revised to match the previously recorded Revision 3 plan
on-record with Douglas County. This change reduces the number of lots
backing to Weatherstone and dramatically increases their size. In addition,
previous concessions to reduce the number of lots along the east side of
Weathersfield Way, as you enter from Wildcat Reserve Pkwy, from 7 to 6 and
relocating some of the high-density housing towards the interior of the new
development were also approved.
This revised plan was
presented to the County Commissioners at the November 17th hearing and
approval was given to proceed with development. The revised plan is now on
file with Douglas County and is available upon request. At this point,
construction on Phase I of the project (the middle 1/3rd of the property) is
scheduled to begin sometime this summer. The property immediately adjacent
to Weatherstone is part of Phase III and construction is not scheduled to
start for 2-3 years (subject to change of course!). The plan revisions
should go a long way in protecting what we all love about our community.
Thanks to everyone who got involved and cared enough to make a difference.
Swimming Lessons
Because of the increase in swim lessons at the Weatherstone Pool last
summer, the Board heard from a number of residents who expressed concern.
The concerns included: too many lessons at one time, instructors with keys,
instructors teaching non-Weatherstone residents, instructors propping the
gates open, and lessons taking precedence over general swimming activities.
As a compromise to those
who desire private lessons for their children and those who are utilizing
the pool for general swimming purposes, the Board has created and approved
the use of a swim instructor registration form. This registration will limit
the number of instructors allowed to teach in our community as well as the
times they can teach and the number of children that can be taught. These
limits will help monitor the activity of the instructors and present some
regulations that they must abide by.
If, as a resident, you know
a swim instructor who you are interested in having an individual teach your
children or know an instructor who may be interested in teaching, please
provide them with this form. This document MUST be filled out prior to the
season in order to reserve a spot. Our management company, Cobblestone
Management, will be monitoring the lessons when they are on the property;
but as residents you also may request the approved registration at any time,
as the instructors must keep proof with them at all times. We hope that the
community will enjoy this compromise and that it will help keep swim lesson
traffic away from the pool during heavy utilization hours. Get the
form
