2013
In 2013, the Bellyache Ridge Homeowners Association gained ownership of three out-lots previously owned by Developer, George Burens. Out-lot 56A is located at the south end of Bellyache Ridge Road. It provides access to BLM land and the community of Back Country at Bellyache. Out-lots 30A and 31A are located at the end of Big Dipper Road. They are adjacent to BLM land.
The community of Back Country at Bellyache contributed $3,000 to help cover legal fees associated with the transactions. The HOA granted access to out-lot 56A for Back Country at Bellyache, the cell tower, and the BLM.
The HOA allowed the Jouflas Family to install a gate on out-lot 31A. It was installed in the fall of 2013 by James Jouflas. It has a 12-foot wide locked gate and a small space that provides pedestrian access to the adjacent BLM land. Gate access is provided to the Jouflas family, HOA, water system operators, Holy Cross, Mountain Mushers and the BLM.
