Personal Notes

One of our favorite things about being in this HOA is the people! Working together with a common goal to develop and other improvement projects has knitted us together as friends before we have even built our homes! We really feel that having good relationships is a priority to the members of the HOA - Todd & Cari Graham

Bayview Subdivision & HOA

Our Story

The dream of Bayview Subdivision began in 1998 when some property became available in a rural area of Utah County. This property was part of a beautiful apple orchard that was selling about 200 acres of land right next to Utah Lake. The property is a bit off the beaten path about twenty-five minutes from I-15 and the Springville, Santaquin, Spanish Fork area. This is part of what makes our properties so quiet, calm and serene. We often see Bald Eagles, Osprey, Pelican and many other wildlife from our very own lots! We are located on South East side of Utah lake with West Mountain behind our subdivision to the east. The poplar lined apple orchard is thriving and expanding around us and contributes to the beautiful backdrop of our subdivision. The property was split between owners leaving a little over 100 acres to become Bayview Subdivision. The property owner was enthusiastic about the project and could see the amazing potential a future subdivision would have here. He divided the property into seventeen lots and did not have trouble selling the lots to owners even before becoming a platted subdivision. Many of these original owners have held onto those lots even though it would eventually take them over TWENTY years to become a legally platted subdivision. Those owners formed the HOA in 2001 in an effort to stick together and work towards their dream of becoming a subdivision. The property owners worked hard, formed friendships and accomplished many projects on their properties. They ran into several issues, the largest of which was obtaining water for the development which met county requirements. City water is not available in the area and wells produce water which is high in total dissolved solids (or minerals), such as magnesium. Utah county ordinances did not allow for water from wells to be treated by systems such as reverse osmosis which work well in treating water with high mineral content. Reverse osmosis systems are even used to treat water with extremely high mineral content such as high salt content in the ocean. In 2016, EIGHTEEN years after the project began, Utah County changed the requirements for well water and now allows water to be treated with reverse osmosis. By this time, a few of the original seventeen lot owner’s had decided to sell their lots. Either, life circumstances had changed and/or their dreams had faded. Along came new blood, new excitement and some new owners. These new owners had done their research and were aware of the changes made to the county requirements. Soon to retire and in love with the idea of living on this beautifully placed piece of property they spent 2017 coming up with plans to finish the project and develop the Bayview Subdivision. In December of 2017 it was voted on unanimously to come up with the funds and trust the Grahams to help finish the project! At that time there was a limit on the number of lots a subdivision could have that used wells. So Bayview was split into two phases Plat A and Plat B.
