The Starweather HOA will keep this list of projects up to date so the community is informed on the current status of each project. If you have a question related to a project please use the contact form at the bottom of the website and we'll send a reply within a few days.
Project | Status | Due Date | Description & Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
Backup Generator | In-Process | New Date: 1/30/26 | The generator has been delivered and is in place. Robert's Electric and Idaho Power are working together over the next several weeks to get it operational. |
No Trespass No Hunting Signage | In-Process | 01/30/26 | Over the last couple of season's we have had issues with potential hunting/use of Starweather's Common Area Land. Serena is working to verify the law and ensure we have appropriate signs in the neighborhood to prevent Trespassing and Hunting. |
Document street-side water shut-off valves | Not Started | TBD | Over the last few years there have been a number of reasons the HOA Board and Homeowners have needed to find their "street-side" water shut off valves. We have an old mapping of this but it isn't accurrate and we want an updated map for both homeowners and HOA Board/Property Management company so when projects or issues arrise we can find these without issues. |
Road Chip & Seal | Re-opened | Spring '26 | The tar/chip was laid, extra gravel was swept up. But the end product is not what the neighborhood expected. The gravel is quite large, there is still a lot of loose gravel on the side of the roads along with dust & mud that was not there before. It is too late in the season to do a "Fog Sealant" that would lay a thin asphalt emulsion over the chip seal that would further compound/adhere the chips, smooth out the surface (a bit) and repaint the surface black. The Board has this as an open agenda item to discuss in the Spring. |
Highway Lot Fencing | Not Started | TBD | Fencing along the two highway lots is in disrepair. We need to evaluate what to do with them. We have an incoming bid on repairing the fence and will get another one to fully replace. We share the costs with the community and gather input on next steps. |
Common Area Trails Fencing | Not Started | TBD | The Fencing along the common area trails in a lot of places is in disrepair. We need to get estimates for repair in all these locations. |
Highway Lot Fire Risk | Not Started | TBD | The two common area lots along the highway are not managed and get very dry around August. We need to evaluate their fire risk and determine what we can do to mitigate the risk. |
Capital Reserve Review | Not Started | Feb. '26 | Once the generator & chip/seal project are complete we will evaluate what is in the capital reserves and communicate to the community the amount. We will need to determine if we feel the reserve is adequate or whether we should increase the amount. |
Community Street Signs | Not Started | TBD | Community Street signs are old and need of repair. There was a previous project approved to replace the signs which never came to fruition. We will reopen this project for community review & discussion. |
Common Area Trails | Not Started | TBD | Several common area trails have overgrown to the point they are no longer visible we need to re-establish these trails. *This project will be overseen by the Starweather Firewise Committee and used as a part of our work toward a community Firewise designation. |
Additional Water Line Excavations | Not Started | TBD | There are a few other homes that run water all winter as they have experienced freezing lines in the past. The cost to the Ott's home on Mallard was around $7,000. We will need to reach out to the other properties on Starweather to determine who runs water during the winter months to evaluate if other homes need water line insulation. |
Updated Flood Map | In-Process | N/A | The county is updating the Big Wood Flood zone map. This will give us a better indication of the "Actual" Riparian Zone in our neighborhood. Once this information is available we will share it with the community. |
Hiawatha Canal Flood Prevention | In-Process | N/A | Engineers met with our Property Management Company to discussed plans to clear and modify the Hiawatha Canal to prevent flooding in Haley. The engineers are proposing to place boulders at specific locations. Jon agreed to obtain an engineering report from Jim Kuhn, which will be shared with the board for review. The group expressed concerns about the potential impact on the local environment and the need for county approval, as previous uncoordinated efforts had caused issues in the past. *Jon Gilmour will provide the board the Hiawatha Canal engineering report from. |
Establish an annual Block Party | N/A | TBD | The HOA Board was trying to establish a block party this last Fall but the plans fell through. We want to revisit creating an annual neighborhood party mixer and will set a date in 2026. |
