If you are thinking about making changes to your home or yard, you may be wondering about the Architectural Control Committee process. Below is the basic information on how it works. The three members of the committee are always listed at the top of every newsletter.  

The Architectural Control Committee must approve all updates and changes to homes and landscaping. Requests should be made 30 days prior to work starting.

Requests should be submitted in writing to ACCU per this form. ACCU tracks requests and forwards them to the Architectural Control Committee. The committee consists of three homeowner volunteers appointed by the Board of Directors. The committee has 30 days to review and approve requests. Owners are not contacted during the process unless additional information is needed.

Paint requests should include paint samples, a website to view samples or colors painted on the side of the house. Landscaping should include detailed plans. Home additions, decks, and patios must include plans, materials, and colors.

If the request involves fencing or work close to property lines, a survey showing the property line should be included with the request. When necessary, county/city approvals should also be included with the request.

If the request involves changes to measureable square footage of the home, it must be approved by the Board and neighbors must be notified. This is outlined in the attached resolution recently adopted by the Board. Additionally, if the committee can not come to a resolution about a request, it will be brought to the Board. These requests will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting.

ACCU will advise the owner of the approval or denial of their request via email if an email address is given, and a letter is mailed to the owner. 

Once the project is complete the owner must advise ACCU and the file will be closed.

When: Saturday, August 4, 7-10 a.m.  

Where: Heritage Greens Pool Parking lot

What: Drop off your old electronics to be recycled. Items to bring include but are not limited to: computers (monitors, keyboards, hard drives, etc), camcorders, DVD players, radios, remote controls, stereos, VCRs, copiers, printers, cell phones, answering machines and much more.

Cost: A small fee of $5 per computer monitor or $10 per television will be collected by Luminous Recycling.

Why: We need your help to keep harmful electronic waste out of our landfills. Electronics contain toxic pollutants such as lead, mercury and cadmium among others. Electronics that are dumped in the trash often end up in landfills, where these substances can leach into the groundwater and soil. Research estimates that electronic waste accounts for 80 percent of American's toxic garbage and is growing exponentially. Join us in making a positive impact by dropping off your unwanted electronics and help keep our community beautiful.

Special Thanks to Tim Morton of Luminous Recycling for helping us set this up.

Rackets for All - Arapahoe High School

Got old tennis racquets you no longer need?  

The Arapahoe High School boys tennis team is collecting old racquets through the summer and fall to donate to Racquets For All, an organization that refurbishes old and even broken racquets and gives them to individuals and organizations throughout Colorado who do not have access to them. They want both youth and adult sizes, so please donate to a good cause.  

You can drop off your racquets at 5231 E Otero Dr. If you have questions, feel free to contact Kris Trauernicht at 303-740-9898.
