Property Inspections: HRCA is here to ensure that property values remain high in the community and that Highlands Ranch remains a great place to live, work, and play. As a covenant controlled community, HRCA is bound by the Community Declaration and other governing documents to enforce the covenants of the community. HRCA is tasked with regular residential and commercial property inspections to ensure compliance and respond to complaints. Residents may encounter HRCA technicians walking on or around properties in the community. Compliance technicians drive HRCA-marked vehicles, or may be on foot, but will always have an HRCA-issued employee badge. Technicians are happy to verify that they are on a property in connection with HRCA business and will also be able to provide a business card with HRCA administrative phone numbers. Many times, to verify a complaint, technicians will take photographs and may inspect properties by looking over backyard fences. However, a technician will not enter a backyard without prior permission from the property owners. Please call 303-471-8821 for any concerns about technicians or inspections.

Member Education: This quarter I would like to provide information about the Delegates. A Delegate is a homeowner either elected by members within a Delegate District or appointed by their sub-association Board to represent such Delegate District and to cast votes on behalf of members within the Delegate District as provided in the Community Declaration. Delegates meet monthly to discuss a variety of topics about the HRCA. Some duties and powers of the Delegate body include amending and approving the community Bylaws, creating rules and regulations for the use and operation of the recreational facilities, proposing increases and/or reductions for the Recreation Function Common Assessments (RFCA’s) necessary for the operation of the recreation centers, and proposing and reviewing improvements to the recreational facilities. Delegates are elected in April of every year to serve the community. Getting involved is a great way to stay informed and represent the community. Contact annie.vincent@hrcaonline.org to sign up or for more information about elections.

Community News Keeping Your Property in Compliance We live in a covenant community and that requires each homeowner to comply with the Residential Improvement Guidelines and covenants of our community. Some items to note that will ensure our property and our neighborhoods are kept beautiful:

Landscaping: Please make sure your landscaping is clean and clear of weeds and your grass properly watered and maintained. Keep in mind that fall can be an ideal time to install sod if you need to do so on your property.

Unsightly Materials: Keep your property clean and clear of equipment, toys, and improvement supplies, by properly storing materials in an approved shed or garage.

Remove Dead Trees and Branches: It is every homeowner’s responsibility to have the dead trees and branches removed from their property in a timely manner. Dormant season is an ideal time for pruning. Fresh cuts during dormant season are less likely to attract disease carrying insects and spread bacteria and fungi. Removing weak or damaged limbs leave the tree stronger for severe winter weather. Winter pruning causes less stress on trees and allows for robust new growth in the spring.

Fencing: Fencing is required to be in good repair and stained the proper color (Highlands Ranch Fence Brown, unless you live in a sub-association that mandates its own color). Please remember to submit your fence stain prior to performing the staining.

Trash Containers: Trash should be stored properly in a covered container and placed on the curb (not sidewalk) the day of pick up. After pickup, trash containers must then be properly stored (appropriately “screened” from view of the street either behind a wing fence or in your garage) the same day as pickup.

Paint: Homes should be well maintained with no bare or faded spots or peeling paint anywhere on the base or trim areas. Paint colors must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee.

Homeowners with compliance issues will receive a letter of non-compliance asking that the issue be resolved promptly. Residents cited for prolonged covenant violations can incur penalties and the risk of fines and loss of recreation privileges. If you have any question about the Residential Improvement Guidelines or required compliance, please call the CIS office at 303-471-8821.

Parking in the Community Neighborhoods: Please be courteous to your neighbors when parking your vehicles. Park in your own driveway, or in front of your own yard and do not block right-of-ways. Public right-of-ways are under the jurisdiction of the Douglas County Sheriff's Department. If you have questions please call the Sheriff's office at 303-660-7505.

Snow Removal Reminder: Homeowners are required per Douglas County ordinance to remove snow from residential sidewalks within 24 hours after snowfall stops. The scope of responsibility includes the following: Sidewalks in front of and along the sides of a home; adjacent mailboxes, where present; adjacent fire hydrants, where present. Please contact Douglas County Public Works at 303-660-7480 to report residential snow removal violations.
