Spring Improvements

It is around this time that residents start looking into exterior projects to improve the life and quality of their home.

Nearly all exterior home improvements require submission for review by the Architecture Committee or our Residential Coordinator before starting work.

If you are planning to make changes in the coming year, we highly recommend to submit early to ensure a timely review. The Community Improvement Services Department has been working hard to refresh our pages by updating, condensing and clarifying. Our goal is to make sure submitting for a home improvement is as painless as possible.

One change that you will want to take notice of is our actual Home Improvement Forms. Out of date forms have been removed and others merged. Every form will have a list of requirements that are necessary for review of that specific improvement. An ‘attachment link’ is located on the form to add files related to your project. There is a fee associated with most forms and varies on the complexity of the change. It is very important that all the required information is received when you submit. Incomplete submittals will be immediately ‘denied’ until the required files are received which could delay your project and cause scheduling delays with any contractors.

The submittal and review process is described in detail on the HRCA website but if you still have questions please contact our department either by calling 303-471-8821 or email improvements@hrcaonline.org Our department is open Monday- Friday from 8:00 a.m.5:00 p.m. If you would like to visit us in person, you can find us at the Eastridge Recreation Center in the atrium.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Community Improvement Services Department not only takes care of improvements and covenant compliance for residential properties but for commercial as well?

The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviews all exterior improvements to our commercial properties from signage to full elevations changes. We also have a dedicated team for Commercial Compliance that you may come across when they are out in the field. If you see something on a commercial property that may be a violation to our Commercial and Design Restrictions, please fill out the Submit a Violation form located on the HRCA website under Property Owners, Covenants & Improvements.

Snow still happens in the spring. Rember to remove your snow from sidewalks around your house. Please pile snow on your lawn, not in the street.
