General unit information:
* Our 251 condos are townhouse-style models and about 65% are owner-occupied. Each owner has their own separate front and back entrances and a private patio. There are no common hallways or entrances and no one lives above or below you. The units are side by side, meaning there are no upstairs or downstairs neighbors. Because of a change in the governing documents - approved by owners - no new rental units are permitted in the HOA. Violators face severe fines and court costs.
* Each unit has its own private patio space (covered by a translucent cover that allows sunshine in but keeps snow and rain out) and exclusive private, covered carport spaces at most homes. ALL parking spaces adjoining perimeter back fences are assigned - the lack of an overheard cover DOES NOT make it a "free" or open space. All residents should keep their exclusive parking spaces clean and litter-free.
*NOTE: Your exclusive parking behind your home is the width of your back patio. Most people have 2 exclusive spaces. (A few homes have 3 due to the width of their back patio.) In most cases, people have slightly more than 2 spaces. It is likely that partial space adjoins the partial space owned by the next-door neighbor to create a third space. If you and your neighbor's spaces create a third space, neither home has exclusive rights to own or use that space. It is suggested that both neighbors work out some agreeable arrangement for using that parking space.
* There are common guest lots throughout the plan for company, in addition to on-street public parking on East Nassau and E. Oxford Drives. However, owners are not permitted to park in designated guest-parking spaces. If a resident has more vehicles than exclusive reserved spaces (for example, 3 cars but only 2 exclusive parking spots), they must park on the public streets and cannot park in guest-only sections. Those who violate this rule may be fined or have their vehicle towed without warning and at the owner's expense). Guest lots have posted regulation signs. Effective September 2019, overnight parking is prohibited in Guest Lots from midnight to 6 a.m.
* Double-parking (parking a vehicle in the driveway behind those parked in the carport areas, are prohibited by law.
* The walking area behind each back patio fence must be kept clear at all times. Do not put bicycles, planting pots or other items in the space between your back fence and the carport-parking areas.
*Each resident is responsible for keeping their parking spaces clean and free of litter, leaves, cigarette butts, toys, dirt, grease, etc.
* The planting area in front of each home is owned by the Association. Changes to this area - regardless of whether it involves plants or manufactured materials (bird baths, stepping stones, etc.) must be approved IN ADVANCE by the HOA.
(Please consult the homeowner's guide given to all owners for detailed parking and vehicle regulations.)
Snow reminders:
* Cherry Creek III sidewalks will cleared after 2” of snow has fallen while driveways will be plowed and cleared after 4” of snow. The snow-clearing crew typically begins working after snowfall has stopped, not while it continues to snow.
* Residents are reminded that they cannot park in fire lanes or designated guest spaces during snowy weather. Plowed snow is piled in the guest spaces since it cannot be pushed out onto public streets. Parking violators will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense.
* Several black containers of ice melt have been placed next to outdoor stairs, along north-facing building fronts and in carport areas. These ice melt containers are used by snow-shoveling crews and can be used by adult residents to help melt ice and snow.
Having problem with a neighbor?
"Please treat your neighbors the way you'd like to be treated."
Most people follow that simple saying but - unfortunately - others do not. Whenever possible, please try to speak to your neighbor first to see if you can resolve the situation. If you cannot, and have a neighbor who is causing a disturbance or violating Association rules, please call Realty One Property Management or use one of the e-mail links on the home page to report the problem. You do not have to give your name when filing a complaint.
Pet owners:
NOTE: A copy of our Pet Policy is available on the HOA Forms and Documents page.
You are responsible for cleaning up after your pet outdoors immediately after it does its business. Pet-waste bags and disposal containers are located throughout the community. Pets should be leashed and under their owner's control at all times and not allowed to run loose. Violators will be cited and fined. If you see someone not following these rules, please call (303) 834-0311.
If you are reporting an off-leash or pet-poop situation, please give a description of the pet and its owner. You can also give the house number where that person lives (if you know it). Camera photos are also welcome. The Association's Pet Policy is on the "HOA Forms and Documents" page.
Sewer line back-up:
For sewer clogs or back-ups, the Association suggests using vendors on this list.
The Association will not pay for any water or sewer damages in your home, per the Declarations. The following company will clean your basement sewer if you call and tell them you live in Cherry Creek 3.
Our recommendation is:
PAUL ROGERT paulrogert@gmail.com www.Sewer-Lines.com Call or Text 303.669.9919
Clogged Sink/Bathtub Drain $139 Clogged Sewer Line $199 Sewer Inspection with camera $149
Hydro Jet Sewer Line (remove roots/debris) + Video + Report = $375
It is strongly recommended that all owners have insurance coverage for water and sewage damage. You should have your sewer line cleaned and video inspected every two or three years to help avoid a potential back-up. Never put grease, fibrous fruit, rice, paper wipes, coffee grounds, feminine products or even so-called “disposable” products down your drains.
Owners of units in Cherry Creek 3 have a private 4” sewer line that exits their home and flows into a bigger, main line (owned by the Association) about 10 to 35 feet from the front of their unit. Each year, the Association pays to have the main lines cleaned to help sewage move from those lines to the main Denver connection down the hill.
The primary responsibility of the private lines from individual units to the HOA main line belongs to individual Cherry Creek 3 owners. If your private line clogs or becomes blocked, it is your responsibility – not the Association’s – to get it unclogged from your unit to the main line.
Prevention can help prevent problems: There are some things owners and residents should do to help prevent sewer back-ups.
Things you should never put down your sink to prevent sewer clogs: Grease, fibrous fruits and vegetables (example: celery), potato peels, rice or pasta, baby wipes, cloth or fabric items, coffee grounds and egg shells.
Things you should never flush in a toilet: feminine products of any kind, paper towels, wet wipes or diapers. Over the years, we have learned that manufacturers who claim their products are "Flushable" really aren't - and tend to clog private sewer lines.
If ou wish to replace doors or windows, alter landscaping… get permission FIRST! A copy of the Outdoor visual asthetics policy if available on the HOA Forms and Documents page.
The outside walls on homes and the small landscaping plots in front of each home are owned by the Association, not the individual home owner. Therefore:
*Third Cherry Creek Townhouse Corp. requires owners to get approval before conducting any changes to the outside of their units. This may include, but is not limited to, installing new doors and windows, changing landscaping or mailboxes, installing a satellite dish, adding external furnace or dryer ducts, etc. Saying "I didn't know" or "no one told me" are not valid excuses for avoiding the rules. Such actions could lead to warnings, fines and lawsuits. The HOA may have unauthorized landscaping removed from in front of a home and the owner may be charged for the clean-up expenses.
* The Association requires that an Architectural/Landscape Review Request must be submitted and approved by the Board of Directors before any work begins. All requests must be in writing and verbal approvals are not given. See the Page, HOA Forms and Documents, for more information.
* Please call Realty One Property Management before you hire a contractor or start work. Violations to this regulation could result in fines for the property owner.
Parking in fire lanes is illegal! NEVER do it!
If your vehicle is parked in a fire line, it will be towed without warning. It's against the law to park in a fire line. When your vehicle is towed, it will cost more than $230 to get it back. So, if you choose to ignore the fire lane signs, you are choosing to have your vehicle towed. The Association will NOT reimburse anyone if their vehicle is towed.
If you see a vehicle parked in a fire lane, you can call Wyatt's Towing at 303-777-2448 and they will come tow the improperly-parked vehicle. (You may have to sign a copy of the towing form if you call the towing company.) We also ask that you e-mail or call Realty One Property Management to report any fire lane violations. Please include the make, color and license plate number of the vehicle in violation. You can also take a picture with your camera or phone and send it to Realty One.
A note or two for parents:
Over the years, parents and guardians have raised countless hundreds of children in Cherry Creek 3. We need your help in instructing children of some basic rules:
* Do not climb on fences or throw things over fences.
* Swimming pool and play area rules must be observed. There are established hours for these areas. A copy of the current pool rules is available in the Forms and Documents page.
* Children cannot play or ride bicycles, skateboards, etc. in the driveways. They must ride or play in the designated play areas.
* Children should be instructed that they should not play or walk in the landscape areas in front of each home because such activity can damage or destroy plants. The same is true about trees: climbing a tree could harm the tree and/or also result in harm to someone climbing the tree.
* Teach your children that littering is unacceptable, vandalism is a crime and conservation (saving water and electricity) is a good practice.
* A parent is responsible for their child's behavior. If any child is caught littering, vandalizing or violating community rules, the parent faces potential citations and fines from the Association, plus potential legal action.
Warning to parents about potential dangerous actions by children:
Please tell your children that they could be putting their health and lives in danger if they try to climb up onto the club house roof. Any children caught on the roof will be subject to police arrest for trespassing and their parents could be fined. Parents also are responsible for their children at the swimming pool, which is off limits to any child 14 and under if not escorted by an adult. If you see children trying to climb onto the roof of any building or over the pool fence, please call the police non-emergency number immediately, (720) 913-2000, to report the situation.
What everyone should know about water and conservation:
If you pay any attention to the media, you know this part of the country has limited water resources and at times (example; 2002 and 2012) those of us who live in the Front Range and Denver face droughts and drought restrictions. Cherry Creek 3 residents and owners also should be conservation-oriented for several reasons:
1. Your monthly HOA maintenance fee includes payment for your water and sewage bills. When you use more water, the Association gets a higher water bill. A higher water bill also translates into a higher sewage bill.
2. The more water and sewage bills increase, the greater the likelihood the HOA will have to increase the monthly maintenance fee to keep up with those higher costs.
What can we do, individually and as an Association, to help keep water (and sewage bills) under control? Visit our Water - Conservation page on this web site.
There are many ways. First, and to quote Denver Water, "Use Only What You Need." Don't let faucets run excessively. Install water-conserving toilets, washers and appliances. (Denver Water offers you a rebate for replacing selected toilets. See www.denverwater.org for details.) Cherry Creek 3 offers additional rebates. See the Water & Conservation Page.
Always get a leaking toilet, faucet or pipe fixed immediately! (A leaking toilet can lose 400 gallons a month... or more!)
Tips for saving water (and money) are on the Water & Conservation page.
