Cedar Highlands, Utah
Cedar Highlands is a subdivision east of Cedar City in Iron County, Utah. It was incorporated as a town in 2018, but this was dissolved in 2020 following a vote of the residents. History The community, established in 1981, was originally a private development, consisting of cabins managed by a HOA. It stayed at that political level, with various calls for incorporation over the years until the formal process began in 2015, with a vote for incorporation happening in November 2016 (79-44 for incorporation). The formal certificate of incorporation from the State of Utah was issued on December 7, 2017. Even though it wasn't universally agreed that incorporation was the best option, the need for incorporation arose due to concerns about how property taxes were being used (at the county level rather than being held locally) as well as issues with fire management and road grade that appeared to be outside the HOA's purview. Additionally, incorporation made it possible to apply fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Homeowner Association
A homeowner association (or homeowners' association, abbreviated HOA, sometimes referred to as a property owners' association or POA), or a homeowner community, is a private association-like entity often formed either ''ipso jure'' in a building with multiple owner-occupancies, or by a real estate developer for the purpose of marketing, managing, and selling homes and lots in a residential subdivision. In the United States, the developer will typically transfer control of the association to the homeowners after selling a predetermined number of lots. Generally any person who wants to buy a residence within the area of a homeowners association must become a member, and therefore must obey the governing documents including Articles of Incorporation, CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) and By-Laws, which may limit the owner's choices in exterior design modifications (e.g., paint colors). Homeowner associations are especially active in urban planning, zoning and land use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Former Towns In Utah
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ...
