Generally, two weeks before your stretch of fence is scheduled for work, Split-Rail Fence (SRF) will provide you a letter with schedule details and will ask that you remove all personal items including bicycles, firewood, etc. that may be against the existing fence. All landscape, rock, mulch, etc. against the fence in addition to all trees, bushes and vines must be moved back or trimmed back at least one foot from the existing fence by you no later than a date SRF will provide in the letter. SRF is aware that some of you have Exhibit B items and is prepared for them.
SRF will be asking dog owners to keep dogs inside or restrained during the time they will be working on your unit. They will call "locates" for public utilities such as, gas, cable and electric and ask you to not move the flags. They will also ask you to try to mark any known private underground lines. They will do their best to avoid these (i.e. gas lines for grills, sprinklers lines, back yard lighting electrical).

On September 22, 2020, the FGID sold $1,955,000 in general obligation bonds as approved by the voters in the November, 2019 election to replace the Foxridge community fence.

On September 22, 2020, the FGID sold $1,955,000 in general obligation bonds as approved by the voters in the November, 2019 election to replace the Foxridge community fence. The bonds were purchased by Vectra Bank and carry an interest rate of 2.19% for 2020-2035 and a variable rate for 2036-2039. The bonds can be paid off early after the first 10 years, and the variable rate for the last four years is currently estimated to be 2.68% and is not to exceed 5%. The original projections done by the City in preparation for the 2019 election assumed $1,955,000 in bonds at a 5% interest rate for the whole 20-year period, so the actual interest rate is about half of what was projected when the voters approved the bonds. This means that the tax burden on Foxridge homeowners will be lower than what was projected at the time of the election.

Based on community feedback in a City survey conducted last year, fence committee members selected “Saddle-colored” Trex, 6 feet high, to replace the GID fences. The city’s financial and taxation estimates were developed using this material. The city has received a written 25-year warranty from Trex, specifically for the Foxridge fence project
