The Board Bulletin
Memo from the Mayor
Everything is finally in bloom, the grass is green and the Town looks
beautiful. Every day I feel so blessed to live here. The Board would like to thank all residents
for maintaining the rights-of-way adjacent to their property and for helping battle the nasty
noxious weeds. This is a very special and unique Town and if we all work together we can
balance maintaining properties with preserving our rural atmosphere.
Weed Control
A letter was sent to all residents this year from SAFEbuilt who provides code enforcement services
for the Town. We have received a number of emails and calls from residents who thought the
letter was abrupt and not in the spirit of Foxfield. This was certainly not our intent. As you
know, the Town for many years has been trying to get a handle on noxious weeds. Not only is
noxious weed management required by the State, weeds that are allowed to mature and go to seed
spread to neighboring properties. This is unfair to neighbors that have spent time, energy and
money to control weeds on their own property. Over the years, the Town has tried different approaches to weed management. This year the Board thought it would be more efficient and cost
effective to send a community-wide letter reminding folks of our weed policy. It was designed to
be a reminder that if weeds are present and not taken care of, a notice will be issued. We are
trying to get residents to take care of the problem on a timely basis. We apologize to those that
thought the letter was rude or threatening. For code enforcement questions, please contact Frank
Goodard at 303-774-1388 or FGoodard@safebuilt.com.
ROW Maintenance
Effective this year, residents are responsible for the maintenance of the ROWs adjacent to their
properties. In an effort to maintain the appearance of the Town, The Board passed an ordinance
requiring a maximum height restriction for vegetation of 12” in the rights-of-way. ROW maintenance has always been the responsibility of residents but in past years the Town absorbed the cost
of mowing and weed control. Since the majority of residents were already maintaining the ROW
it didn’t seem reasonable to use Town resources on a project that only benefited a few. We
appreciate everyone’s cooperation.
Arapahoe County Open Space Grant
The Town has been awarded an Open Space Planning Grant in the amount of $30,000. The
planning process will include updating the Town’s Trail Master Plan, determining trail routes,
design, materials and cost estimates. This is an exciting project. We are taking the next step toward a trails system that the Town envisioned in the Master Plan adopted in 1996. These trails
will ultimately provide connectivity to the Cherry Creek Trails System. Community input will be
essential to this process so we will keep you posted on our progress. I would like to thank Trustee
Sky Yost for the outstanding job she did in preparing the grant application.

Ring Road Landscaping
Weather conditions delayed the project but the completion of the ring road landscaping should be
done this spring. CDI is the contractor. Thanks to Trustee Con Frank for all his time and effort in
coordinating this project.
Road Resurfacing
Phase one of the road resurfacing project is complete. This is a 3-year project. Street conditions
were evaluated and prioritized. The more heavily traveled roads were resurfaced with a 3/8” chip
seal and the less traveled streets with a 1/4“. Chip seal was a little more expensive but the
expected longevity of the product outweighed the additional cost.
Garage Sale and Clean up Days
It was a beautiful weekend for the garage sale and it appears to have been very successful. Next
Saturday, June 8th, is the annual Town Clean-Up Day (see page 4 for more information). We are
excited that electronic recycling is available this year. Thanks to Trustee Susan Current for
organizing these two annual events.
A big part of what makes Foxfield such a wonderful place is our sense of community. If you have
an elderly neighbor or a neighbor who is not able to mow their ROW or shovel their driveway and
you are out with your mower or snow blower, ask if you can help. A little bit of kindness goes a
long way.
It’s Ozone Aware Season!
What is ground‐level ozone pollution?
Ground‐level ozone is a harmful air pollutant that is formed when emissions from gas‐powered vehicles
and lawn equipment and even household paints and solvents “cook” in heat and sunlight. The highest
ozone levels are usually recorded in summer months when temperatures approach the 80s and 90s and
the wind is stagnant or light. In the Denver metro area, ozone season runs from June 1 through
August 31.
To help reduce ground ozone levels:
● Walk, bike, use public transit, carpool
● Refuel in the evening
● Mow in the evening
● Combine errands and drive less
● Stop at the click when replacing the fuel cap
● Use an electric mower
What is the “Clean Air Community” Pledge?
Denver metro residents can take a pledge, either online at OzoneAware.org or at events throughout the
summer, to take a few simple actions to help reduce harmful ground‐level ozone pollution. Taking the
pledge is easy‐‐ just log on to ozoneaware.org, click on the “Join Our Clean Air Community” button, and
choose from one of four different pledge levels. Cool prizes ‐‐ such as bikes and electric lawn mowers ‐‐
are offered every week during ozone season.

FOXFIELD NINTH ANNUAL CLEAN-UP DAY
Saturday, JUNE 8, 2013
8 a.m. – 2p.m.
This is a great opportunity to get rid of stuff, piles of yard debris and more
without the hassle and the rising cost of a trip to the dump!
Clean Up Services:

between the hours of 8 a.m.— 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 8.
● IMPORTANT!!! We will have a limited number of dumpsters so come early.

weekly trash collection. For this service, a donation of $10.00 per load is
greatly appreciated.
⇒ The following items may not be disposed of in the dumpsters: Hazardous
waste, including large appliances, refrigerators, microwaves, TVs, computers,
A/C units; herbicides, asbestos, pesticides, chemicals, toxic or flammable

Flushing and unsafe trash disposal of unused and unwanted medications can cause pollution of
lakes, streams and water supplies. Medications collected in the take-back project are destroyed
in an environmental protective manner.
If you don’t have access to a secure collection box, do not flush your medications down the
toilet or drain. Follow the steps listed below. The same steps should be followed for the
disposal of narcotics and other controlled substances.
○ Take the medications out of their containers. Mix them with an undesirables substance
such as kitty litter or used coffee grounds.
○ Conceal or remove personal information, including Rx number, on the empty medicine
containers by covering it with black permanent marker or scratching it off.
○ Wrap the medication mixture and the empty containers separately in newspaper to help
conceal them from children and pets and place them in the trash.

The Communique will profile local businesses in each issue
We decided to feature in this newsletter the first retailer to open in the Foxfield Town Center as well
as the most recent addition.
Waterway Gas & Wash
16330 East Arapahoe Road
720-622-9868
Opening in 2008, Waterway carwash, gas
station and convenience store was the first
business in the Foxfield Town Center. The
parent company, Waterway Gas and Wash,
is headquartered in St. Louis and has been in
existence since 1970.
The manager is Matt Shields, a native of Colorado and graduate of Boulder High School. He
has been with the company for five years and
the manager of the Foxfield location for one and
a half years.
Foxfield is one of six locations in Colorado,
and one of 19 across the country. Their website, www.waterway.com, lists the many
special discounts and promotions available. The mission statement of Waterway is:
“Our team delivers clean cars to happy customers.”

Colorado Rockies Dugout Store
16350 East Arapahoe Road, Unit 112
303-690-8326
The Colorado Rockies Dugout Store, the newest store, opened in July 2012. It is located
between the dry cleaners and the dentist on the south side of the Foxfield Town Center.
The store itself is the newest of six in Colorado. The location was chosen by the Colorado
Rockies because of the high number of season ticket holders in our area. The goal of
management is to have one Rockies Dugout Store in every area code in Colorado.
Megan Roberts, a Colorado native, has been the manager at this location since it opened.
Before that, she managed a Rockies Dugout store in Colorado Springs for three years.
According to Megan, the store is doing well. When the summer baseball season is over, the
holiday season starts heating up; then with spring training starting in February, business
tends to be fairly steady.
The store is open seven days a week. Other than at Coors Field, this is the least expensive
place to purchase Colorado Rockies tickets to all home games in Denver and Scottsdale.
The service fee is less than the fee at King Soopers or online. Season ticket holders can
exchange tickets at the store, and get special discounts on items.
There is almost any item you can imagine (and some you never thought of) with a Rockies
logo on it, from baby items, t-shirts, hats, blankets and pillows to cell phone cases and
earrings - and much more. They are the first to carry any new items and they are able to
customize any Rockies jersey. There is always some kind of “gift-with-purchase”
promotion going on.

It’s time to think about landscape needs. I am making a schedule for field mowing,
field weed spraying and field re‐seeding. Call for rates and to be put on the schedule.
Right‐of‐way mowing and string trimming $50.
As our yards are greening up, some are noxious weed invaders. If left uncontrolled, these
weeds will outgrow the native species of grass and plants. I am a licensed herbicide applicator
and can help you control them.
Thank you

The following items are exempt from the 3.75% Town of Foxfield sales tax:

materials that are delivered to the site in Foxfield)
● Items purchased outside the town and delivered to Foxfield (appliances,
furniture, etc.)

purchase a dining table in Centennial and have it delivered to
Foxfield, you should pay only 4.35% sales tax.

The school will open with K-5 and add a
