Articles and Covenants

Cherry Creek Vista South is a subdivision of 622 single family homes within filings #8-14 of Cherry Creek Vista. The boundaries of the HOA are Havana (west), Orchard (north), the Lincoln Executive properties (south), and approximately Macon/Moline (east).

Each of the filings was created with a set of covenants, all of which are very nearly identical in content. The covenants are recorded instruments, which follow with the individual properties from owner to owner.

CCVSHOA was incorporated in November, 1977. The articles of incorporation were amended in May, 1992 to reflect the inclusion of all of the listed filings in the HOA.

The covenants are designed to help insure that the real property within the subdivision is maintained as “...a first class and premium residential district” so that the value of all properties can be maximized.

The covenants of any filing can be amended by a majority of the property owners. Changes in one filing do not affect any other filing.

The covenants for your filing are within the records of the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder:

A homeowner may bring up concerns over covenant control through a number of possible avenues.

• A concerned homeowner may speak with the his or her neighbor so as to inform them that Cherry Creek Vista South is a covenant controlled community and they may be in violation of those covenants. Any homeowner in CCVSHOA may use the Covenant Standard Notice to notify his or her neighbor that they may be in violation of our covenants.
• A concerned homeowner may contact the CCHSHOA to report covenant violations.
• A concerned homeowner may contact Arapahoe County.

Q & A on Covenants Enforcement

Q. Who may enforce protective covenants?
A. First, any homeowner living in an area covered by protective covenants may take it upon himself or herself to file an action in the county or district court located in that county where the property is located. In addition, any homeowner association, including voluntary associations, such as CCVSHOA, has legal standing to bring such an action, even against non-members of the association.

Q. How are protective covenants enforced?
A. Protective covenants are enforceable by courts issuing injunctions for the cessation of conduct that is in violoation of the protective covenants. Failure to abide by such court orders can result in being held in contempt of court which is punishable by fines or even jail sentences.

Q. Has CCVSHOA ever had to file suit to enforce a protective covenant?
A. Surprisingly, no. Every single instance of covenant violation over the past twenty years has been amicably resolved? CCVSHOA diligently tries to resolve matters without having to resort to suit. In addition, the cooperation of residents has generally been very positive, since it takes two to settle a dispute.
