Cherry Creek Crossing Property Owners Association

What Cherry Creek Crossing Property Owners Association's governing documents say

Cherry Creek Crossing is a single-family home HOA community in Colorado Springs, CO. This document is the association's governing Declaration and Bylaws plus an annexation filing, which together set the rules for owners, residents, and the property owners association. The rules cover everything from assessments and architectural control to leasing and trail use.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house; the association owns and maintains common areas like trails, parks, and detention facilities. Owners are responsible for their own lot and structures, and the board can enter lots for emergencies, inspections, or to cure hazards.
• Assessments & fees: Annual and special assessments are levied per lot to fund association operations and reserves. Assessments are a continuing lien on the property; if unpaid, the association may charge a late fee, suspend services, foreclose, or sue. The board fixes the annual assessment at least 30 days before the period.
• Architectural & design review: All construction, alterations, and landscaping must be approved in advance by the Design Review Committee. Setbacks, building height, and design guidelines (established by the committee) apply. The board can adopt rules and design standards for the community.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lot, but the lease must assign all common-area use rights to the tenant; the owner remains fully responsible for all association obligations. The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term.
• Pets & vehicles: No horses are allowed in the annexed property (Filing No. 2). Trail use is restricted to pedestrians, strollers, bicycles, and disability-appropriate vehicles; motorized vehicles and ATVs are prohibited on interior trails unless the association allows otherwise.
• Voting & governance: One vote per lot. The Declarant (original developer) holds 51% voting control until 90% of lots are sold to homeowners or 10 years pass (with possible extension). After transition, homeowners elect directors for staggered terms. A 30% quorum is required for member meetings.
• Dispute resolution & enforcement: The board can impose fines, suspend voting and common-area use rights for rule violations, and use self-help to cure violations. Late assessments trigger a late fee and possible service suspension. The declaration includes provisions for alternative dispute resolution before litigation.
• Water augmentation plan: The annexed property is subject to recorded Water Augmentation Plans, which the association must enforce to ensure adequate water supply for the community.
