This Management Plan (Plan) was developed by DHM Design Corporation (DHM) for Little Elk Creek Village Home Owners Association (LECV) (HOA). The purpose of this Plan is to inform and assist current and future Home Owners Association Board (Board) members and association home owners in stewardship planning, identification and implementation of capital maintenance and improvement projects at LECV. The intent of the Plan is to provide the following:

• A comprehensive review of current existing conditions and management recommendations for HOA open space property including: Water Resources and infrastructure (ditches and ponds), water rights, overall ecological conditions (vegetation, wildlife, fisheries).
• Provide clear short term and long term management recommendations for the HOA open space properties.
• Assist the HOA in identifying appropriate professional service contractors to complete needed maintenance of HOA resources.

Additional information for the HOA’s potable water system was provided by Dan Harris, an HOA member and acting potable water system manager. This information has been included in the Plan for reference and use for current and future potable water system management. A professional engineer should be consulted for all potable infrastructure improvement. This Management Plan is adaptive by nature and it is recommended that it be updated as necessary by the Board as capital improvement projects are completed and stewardship goals and objectives change.
