1. Responsibility for People and Pets. It is the land owner’s responsibility to ensure that anyone coming into Silverjack Subdivision on their behalf or with their permission is escorted by the land owner. Owners are responsible for any people or pets that they bring into Silverjack Subdivision. Pets must remain under control at all times.
2. Access to the Subdivision for Realtors and Prospective Buyers. Either the lot owner or the seller’s real estate agent has the responsibility of accompanying any other real estate agents (buyers’ agents) and/or buyers who tour the property.
3. Realtors Showing the Property in the Wintertime: Silverjack Subdivision can get a great deal of snow (sometimes up to 6 feet in places. When there is a lot of snow, it is difficult to see anything. Roads cannot be plowed as that will damage the pipes which provide water to the subdivision. Therefore, the only wintertime access is by snow shoes, cross country skis or snow mobiles.
4. Pond and Forest Service Access: Owners have access to the south side of the pond area. Owners can walk or ride horses on a rough path which goes from the subdivision road to the gate into the Forest Service land. This path runs across one of the owner's land so ATVs and any motorized vehicles are not allowed.
5. ATVs and Motorized Vehicles: ATVs and any motorized vehicles are only allowed within the homeowner's land and on the dedicated subdivision roads.
6. Phone lines: There are a few cabins that have land lines. Most of the cabins rely on satellite internet for their phone service. If a prospective purchaser is interested in having a land line, the lot owner or the seller’s agent must check to see if the current phone line extends to the property being sold. While it is possible to get the phone company to put in underground lines to a cabin (all phone and electric lines must be underground), it would be expensive unless multiple cabins would like to have them put in at the same time.
7. Water System.
a. The subdivision has a spring which supplies water to the various cabins. There are no water taps but each lot has a curb stop.
b. Because of the drought and various other problems, there have been periods of time when there has been little or no water available to go to the cabins. Any cabins built after 2008 are required to have a cistern of at least 500 gallons of water to supply water to the cabin.
c. Cisterns must be filled with water that is trucked in.
d. In times with diminished flows from the spring that serves the subdivision, or when repairs to the water system are required, homeowners should be prepared to bring in water to supply their cabins.
e. When adequate water is available, the subdivision is responsible for getting water to the curb stop for each lot.
f. The individual homeowners are responsible for installing and maintaining the water pipes from the curb stop to the cabin and must turn on the water at the curb stop when they arrive and turn off the water at the curb stop when they leave. This is very important because depending on what is happening on an individual lot, problems with a homeowner's water pipes can drain the entire system leaving no water for anyone.
g. Depending on the water situation, use of the water may be limited as directed by the Board of Directors.
