APPROVAL OF PLANS

Members are again reminded that the Board of Directors through the Approval of Plans Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing and approving, prior to commencement of any exterior work, proposed plans for additions or improvements to properties. Homeowners contemplating improvements or changes to the exterior of their homes, fences, walls or other structures on their lots are urged to review the applicable Building restrictions with their architect and builder and forward 3 sets of plans to the Approval of Plans Committee, Tom Deline, Chairperson (303-743-0100) in sufficient time and in advance of the intended construction start-up date to allow for the review and approval process.

* If you are renovating your property, please have construction materials and dumpsters placed on your property or driveway and not on the street.



NEIGHBORHOOD MATTERS

* A dues increase to $75 was approved, for one year, at the special membership meeting in January – for the purpose of continuing security patrols.

* Covenant Security Services continues to provide our security patrols. They can be reached at 303-552-9027. If you ask to be placed on their open garage door program they will notify you when their patrol discovers your garage door open.

* The most efficient way to communicate with our homeowners is through email. Matters of neighborhood importance and safety are now sent via email between annual meeting notices. If you have not already done so and you would like to give us your email address please do so by emailing John Sadwith at johns@ctlanet.org. There are 278 homes are on our email roster.

* For your information, city ordinances allow construction between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

* With the advent of spring, we are experiencing a plethora of potholes. Please report potholes to the city at 720-865-6855 or online at http://www.denvergov.org/eform.asp?opt=1&formid=173

* Crestmoor neighbor Dick Musso continues with the maintenance of the islands.

* New curbs and gutters (drainage pans) are scheduled for 2006. They had been delayed because of the city budget crisis.

* Traffic issues (speed & volume) are always concerns and are being addressed wherever possible.

* It has come to the attention of the Board that numerous homes within the neighborhood store their trash cans in open view of the street. The Board recommends that trash cans either be kept in the garage or in a screened in area so as to not allow view of trash and trash cans from the street. The Covenants and City Ordinances state that all trash cans must be concealed. We request that this be done in order to keep a clean appearance for the neighborhood. Please remember on weeks with city holidays, trash service is delayed one day. Also, please remember to store you trash cans as soon as possible after trash pickup and to place them out for pickup no earlier than the evening before pickup.

* The Board requests and recommends that all Homeowners whose rear lot line abuts Holly Street take care to keep their fences in good repair and to mow or remove all weeds and debris from the Holly Street side in order to improve the neighborhood appearance.

* The Board recommends that Homeowners with sidewalks adjoining their property or who own corner lots make sure that no trees, shrubs, or other foliage block pedestrian passage of the sidewalks or vehicular traffic views.

* Homeowners are reminded that parking of vehicles in the street over a 72-hour period, and the parking of any large commercial or recreational vehicles, either on the street or in driveways for an extended period of time, is in violation of Denver traffic and/or zoning ordinances.

* Crestmoor has a web page. Neighborhood announcements will be posted periodically on this page. The address is www.neighborhoodlink.com/denver/cha2. Trish Green is our webmaster.

* A big thank you to Councilwoman Marcia Johnson’s office, particularly Lynn Pressnall, for all their help with neighborhood matters.
