SILVER WILLOW POND - 20.84 ACRES
SILVER WILLOW LAKE
Read the 1989 Private Enjoyment Easement Agreement
This pond is 20.84 acres in size. Water Storage Capacity: 140 acre ft.
Silver Springs Water Company sold their water rights in this pond to Mountain Regional Water around 1990. These water rights maintain the pond capacity and flow. When Mountain Regional transferred the Lakes/ponds land, liability, and maintenance costs to the SSMA in 2004 they retained the water rights.

Represents easements when lakes/ponds were property of Silver Springs Water Company.
1982 - Yellow areas on map are route of original Community Enjoyment Easements and all residents had access to all waterways. Silver Springs residents had big pond entire perimeter access = 4,221.71 linear feet X 15-25′ wide and access to entire perimeter of little pond/smaller lake.
- Pink area is the Community Park
Lower Pond Parcel F is the shaded area in the center of this 1986 American Savings plat.
1989 - Silver Willow Pond (Little Pond) is surrounded by a 1989 Exclusive Private Enjoyment Easement Agreement that was recorded on the 1991 SouthShore subdivision plat map. This Agreement provides access and use of the perimeter of either lake only to the 22 small lake view lot owners in Southshore and the 11 NorthShore large lake view owners. Fifty-one houses in all have lake views, 33 of those are subject to the Exclusive Private Enjoyment Easement recorded by developers Barnes & Widdows.
1991 - Silver Springs residents big pond shore access was reduced by above Easement Agreement and Plat recordings to only being open at community park’s 444′ linear foot beach plus Park Place when Barnes & Widdows recorded their Southshore and Northshore plats. The small pond was off limits except to the small pond view property owners. The SS Little Lake subdivision on the east shore of little pond has six homes that were not included in the 1989/1991 Exclusive Enjoyment Easement Agreement.
2003 - Mountain Regional transferred ownership of the ponds “ground” to SSMA, while retaining the water rights. These actions were taken without the knowledge or vote of the Silver Springs property owners who are now on the hook to pay for maintenance, repairs, insurance, management, chemicals, etc. and are held liable for safety and damages though their access and use of these “amenities” is very limited. Use and access to large pond eastside easements by ALL SS property owners is denied, veiled and conflicted. Eleven Silver Springs Single Family Subdivision pond view lot owners have cut off access to other property owners. Access routes to the pond easement has been absorbed into their private property. Four of these owners petitioned the Master Association around August 2010 to sell to them the pond easement adjoining each of their properties.

2010- December 10 - Lakes Enjoyment Easement – At this SSMA meeting Bill Noland announced that the attorney’s he hired to research the Silver Springs documents have found that the 1989 Enjoyment Easement Agreement around the Little Lake runs with the land and is a valid Agreement from the developer to the purchasers of the lake front properties and their successors for the use and access of the perimeter of the lake. The six Little Lake homes located on the east border of the Little Lake along Silver Springs Drive, and annexed in 1997 as part of the SSSF subdivision, are not included in this Agreement as these six lots were not part of the (Mike Barnes) developer’s property. View at: http://www.silverspringscommunity.com/our-community/silver-springs-sf/little-lake-at-silver-springs/
The same situation exists for the Large Lake in that the seven homes along the east border of the lake are part of Silver Springs Single Family since the beginning in 1980 and were never part of the developer’s (Barnes’) Enjoyment Easement Agreement. Therefore the 1989 Agreement does not guarantee use and access to lake front properties SLS-E Lots 192-199 http://www.silverspringscommunity.com/wp-content/uploads/phases-a-e-color530pxxx.jpg
2011- August 11- Big Lake Due for Lower Level– If a lower Big Lake is noticed during early August, that’s the result of necessary reshaping of the lake’s dam. To comply with State of Utah requirements for proper “facing,” the dam will undergo appropriate re-construction work probably beginning the second week of this month, according to Master Home Owners Assn. reports.
The project will require lowering the water level by approximately two feet, the report stated. Since this year’s snow melt run-off has assured a normal depth for the two neighborhood lakes, a two foot reduction is not considered serious either for appearances or recreational use. It is estimated the current level could be restored following dam work completion.
Does this mean there is again all Member access to the entire perimeter of the ponds/lakes along the back line of the lake view lots? William “Bill” Noland, non-elected “president” of the MA would not answer this question. [Read on SSMA December 10, 2010 Minutes.]
