9/14/2024 Covenant Final Draft and Voting Update

We are happy to announce that the final covenant draft document has been uploaded below. This draft incorporates all feedback we have received. The description of changes document has also been updated and uploaded below. By the time the October newsletter is in your mailbox, the final draft of the covenants, a ballot solicitation letter, a voting ballot, and a stamped return envelope, will also have been sent to your mailbox. We have 62 days from the time the voting packet is sent out to when the ballots are tallied by Altitude Law. The voting packets should be sent out around 9/25/24 with a 11/22/24 ballot return date. In order for the new covenants to be approved, we need 2/3 of the H460 neighborhood to vote yes. If we do not get enough votes to move forward, we will need to go back to the drawing board, make updates, and re-print and send the voting package out to the neighborhood which will add additional cost to this effort. If you have not received a voting packet and ballot a couple days after 9/20, please send us an email at board@h460.org and we will get you a copy ASAP. Anything you can do to help get the word out is greatly appreciated. If you can, please talk to your neighbors and ask them if they have returned their ballot. In order to hit this short time frame for voting and to make sure we have at least 2/3 of the neighborhood voting, it will take all of us working together to make sure everyone is aware and taking the time to review the documents and voting timeline.

We would like to thank the covenant committee (a group of H460 neighbors who volunteered to help with the draft) for drafting the updated covenants, neighbors who have attended board meetings, filled out surveys, attended in-person discussions, attended neighborhood events, comments on next door, and sent emails with feedback. The H460 board has considered all of this feedback and has adjusted the draft a few times to arrive at this final version. The H460 board is made up of volunteers from the H460 community and we wanted a document that we were okay living with as neighbors first and as a board second. We balanced the needs of the community with necessary updates and further clarification around the architecture review and enforcement process through the lens of not giving too much power to the board or add the ability to charge fines, but also giving a clear path to help assist neighbors in resolving conflict and keeping minimum standards in place to keep our covenant controlled community a place where home values stay high and our neighborhood maintains the character and quality that we have today. We feel that this document represents the majority of the neighborhood feedback and is a document that can stand the test of time.

We request that you take time to review the voting packet, and please vote as soon as possible.

Thanks,

H460 Board

Summary of Changes From Current to Draft Covenants Updated 9/14/2024 including changes to final draft above.

This document outlines the changes from the current covenants document to the new draft covenants. Due to the change in structure from the old document to the new document, it is not easy to follow a red line document. Instead, this document outlines the process that was followed including what sections were transferred over to the new document. If you have additional questions and would like to talk to the committee member who drafted this document please send an email to board@h460.org and we can set up some time to talk through any questions you have.
