DHHA Architectural Control Requirements & Guidelines
January 2002
The philosophy behind these requirements and guidelines (and above all, the Covenants) is to maintain, preserve, enhance and protect our properties in an equitable manner, while maintaining our friendly, helpful, harmonious neighborhood spirit.
In keeping with this philosophy, the Dellwood Heights Homeowners Association Board of Directors asks that you comply with the following Architectural Control Requirements and Guidelines (ACRG).
To keep our neighborhood looking great, please have all property improvements approved (including fences, new roofs, new paint, remodeling, landscaping) by contacting:
Renee Lingk
609 Collingswood Drive
Fort Collins, CO 80524
970-556-0604
Even if you are following the Covenants and/or the ACRG to the letter, you must complete an Application fo Approval of Architectural Improvements (available from Susie) for your project to be approved and recorded.
All Property Services, Inc. checks the neighborhood weekly for homeowners who are in violation of the Covenants and ACRG, and violators will be cited. However, it is our hope that homeowners will be responsible for complying with the Covenants and ACRG voluntarily.
