Fire Pit. How do I turn on?
The Community Center fire pit can be turned on by turning the timer switch on. The timer switch is located just a few feet north of the concession stand window. It is a clear plastic box on the wall with a timer switch inside. Turn on for desired time and wait one or two minutes for flames to start.
If fire does not start or you don’t hear gas? unfortunately someone has turned off the gas main. If this is the case turn the timer switch off, go to the south side of the pit and turn the yellow handle gas valve to the right, then cover back up. Then turn the timer switch on.
If you still have an issue e-mail the District office.
Who pays Operation and Maintenance (O and M) fees?
All permit ready lots are charged the O and M fee. A permit ready lot is a lot that is in a Phase that is under initial acceptance and or under final acceptance by the Town of Timnath. This means the lot owner can build a home anytime by getting a permit issued by the Town of Timnath. Once a lot is permit ready it will always be charged the O and M fee. Does the developer pay O and M fees? This answer is yes and no; if the developer owns a lot that is “permit ready” as stated above then yes. No: If the developer owns property that is un-developed then no O and M fees are paid. For example at the time of this question the field to the south of Summerfields Parkway and Folsom Parkway is not developed, then no O and M fees are charged at this time.
