Governing Documents & Policies

Governing Documents

Policies

On May 17, 2023, Governor Polis signed SB23-178. The new law revises C.R.S. §38-33.3-106.5 of CCIOA, part of which addresses the use of xeriscape and drought-tolerant landscaping.  The law requires associations of detached single family home communities to adopt at least three pre-approved water-wise garden designs for installation in the front yards.  The Association is not exempt from the new law however the new law does not require the adoption of a policy.  The Association is however required to adopt three water-wise landscape designs, no Association approval is required in connection with the installation of any landscaping and therefore any and all xeriscaping is allowed.

Adopted Designs.

• Design #1 (HIGH ELEVATION PLANTING DESIGN-Backyard with list)
• Design #2 (HIGH ELEVATION PLATING DESIGN Front yard with list)
• Design #3 (PS Native 8.5 x 11)

Amendment to CLRRA Collection Policy:

Motion was made by Bryon Fessler and seconded by Steve Dirmeyer to direct Westwind to not process second notices, final collection letters, and liens on balances of $100 or less but to still charge the Association’s 18% annum interest until the debt is paid in full and the General Manager is responsible for following up with these delinquent property owners and reporting back to the Board.

Amendment to CLRRA Fire Pit Specifications and Open Fires Policy: 

Motion was made by Lala Jacoby and seconded by Tom Bongiovanni to amend the CLRRA Fire Pit Specifications and Open Fires Policy to match Larimer County fire restrictions for Short Term Rentals (which are 30 days or less). This amendment prevents renters in short-term rentals from burning anything in a fire pit even if it is an approved fire pit. Motion carried unanimously.
