Mammoth Creek Condominiums

Unfortunately short term rentals have been suspended in the town of Mammoth Lakes through May 31. At least this is primarily shoulder season when rentals tend to be pretty modest. We are attaching the document (from the Mono County Health Dept.) that contains all the specifics. While this may seem a bit draconian, this link provides some explanation of the rationale for this decision, as some other mountain resort towns are paying the price for being less strict. Let’s hope for some better news soon.

Attached is the agenda for the February 24 Board meeting, which stats at 5:30pm Pacific time.

Attached is the agenda for the board meeting on Monday January 13, starting at 5:30pm Pacific time.

Attached is the agenda for the upcoming board meeting starting at 5:30pm Pacific time.

As has been done in previous years, the HOA will replace batteries for smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors. In addition, fire extinguishers be inspected. Once the dates are settled upon, owners will be to given 48 hours written notice (per 2.C.1 of current CC&Rs).

This meeting is in conjunction with the September 7 Homeowners meeting. We hope to see you there

The agenda has been posted in the front office and is also available here:

Sunday, May 5, the Board of Directors will gather at Mammoth Creek for its annual “Walk the Project” meeting. Members and management tour the property to review upcoming maintenance and repair projects, and to identify new damage or winter wear-and-tear that needs attention. In addition, a full agenda will be discussed.

Pretty much, this is an all-day affair, so homeowners are welcome to join anytime. If you have any questions please contact any Board member or the MCC office.

As a Mammoth Creek Homeowner, you received two pieces of certified mail in the past month regarding the Gap Bike Path Project proposal to replace the dirt path on the south edge of our property with a paved bike path.  As these documents have some short deadlines combined with the possibility of the town using eminent domain to acquire the property, here is an update from the Board regarding what is being done.

The HOA Board of Directors and several members had a conference call meeting with Town representatives on Wednesday night, December 13. The HOA’s attorney and a board member had a subsequent conference call with the Town representatives on Friday, December 15 to discuss the requirement to appear before the Town Council on December 20 to protect our rights to challenge the right of the Town to acquire our property by eminent domain. Our attorney will be drafting a letter and getting it to the Town by the deadline to protect us on this matter.

The Board and Town are anxious to start the formal negotiation process on this project. Our first meeting is scheduled for January 9, 2018 in Mammoth Lakes. The board has appointed Gary Drlik (gdrlik@gmail.com) and Tom Waller (trw2001@sbcglobal.net) to be the HOA’s representatives to negotiate with the Town on this project.

The Board plans to try to come up with a settlement package that addresses homeowner concerns, while simultaneously accumulating concrete reasons that will effectively challenge the eminent domain resolution of necessity should we be unable to reach a settlement, or the settlement does not receive the necessary votes for approval.

Since there is a very tight time line that the Town needs to adhere to for funding for this project (obtain the property by April 30, 2017) the board is requesting any owner that has information that they want the negotiation team to consider before we start the negotiations with the Town to contact either/or both Gary and Tom by December 27, 2017. This will allow the Board and the negotiation team to prepare our side for negotiations with the Town. It is the Board’s and the Town’s hope that acquisition of the property needed for the Gap Bike Path project can be successfully negotiated which would eliminate the need for the Town to obtain our property by eminent domain.

If we can reach a negotiated settlement with the Town, the agreement would need 2/3 approval by our HOA members. We hope to have a voting package out to all members before the middle of March, to meet the Town’s requirement of obtaining the property by April 30, 2017. Once you receive this package please vote ASAP.

We will try and keep updated info on this project on our HOA web site.

Any questions please contact Tom or Gary.

Thank you,

Your Mammoth Creek Board Members
