MUD 5 Trail Project Update

Friday, 17 July 2026

Dear Treeline Residents,

We would like to provide an update regarding the proposed MUD 5 trail project.

After months of discussions and planning, the project will not be moving forward due to legal requirements that could not be reconciled between both parties.

From the beginning, the Board made it clear that preserving Treeline as a private community was a non-negotiable requirement. Our position was that any trail connection through our neighborhood could not provide public access into Treeline.

During negotiations, MUD 5 initially agreed to this condition. However, when the final agreement was sent to legal counsel for drafting, it became clear that, because the project was being funded with public dollars, MUD 5 is legally required to maintain public access and could not include a provision restricting access to Treeline.

As a result, the parties were unable to reach a final agreement.

While this decision means Treeline will forgo approximately $300,000 in improvements and funding, your Board believes protecting the privacy, security, and character of our gated community must remain our highest priority.

Although we are disappointed that this opportunity could not be realized, we remain committed to pursuing future projects that enhance our community while preserving the standards and expectations that make Treeline a desirable place to live.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Board of Directors
Treeline Community Association
