Dear Senator Newell,
Thanks so much for your response. Yes, I read about her in Westword Magazine recently, there also was an article about Highline Meadows by David Swaine.
We, or Highline Meadows Condos, are just south of the cross streets of Arapahoe Road and Broadway. We are in the Horseshoe shaped Highline Canal area on the East side of Broadway in between Ridge Road and Arapahoe.
This is considered Centennial.
So I believe you understand our problem here is that "we have no vote and have never had" enough quorum or 51% of 298 owners to vote out the Board of Directors and then "Fire" TMMC for there incompetence to this Highline Meadows Complex. We might even sue them for there obvious book errors.
The Board of Directors are in direct violation of the 1978 Declaration for Highline Meadows Condos on file with the state. I am attaching all the violations for you to look at.
We are nothing more than sheep in a field who are seeing our homes value plummet 40-60% with no chance of resale due to the vast issues and upcoming assessments with the complex.
These ISSUES are:
1) No Reserves for capitol Improvements
a) Roofs Need replacement 20 buildings
b) Mansards need replacement 20 Buildings
c) Rework trim and paint due to lack of painting in TEN Years 20 Buildings
d) Repave 4 Parking lots- Lines and block paint
e) Replace 140 Porches due to structural integrity and safety
f) Install Electrified and wireless Fire Alarms in 10 Condo Buildings
g) Replace Aluminum Wiring in 78 Town homes
i) Replace All Fences in Roads
h) Replace all Garages and Doors, and Doors on 10 Condo Buildings
j) Major landscaping Improvements required due to lack of Maintenance
over years
For over Ten Years now we are being managed by TMMC who have given us 3 special assessments, one of which was deemed illegal by the Arapahoe County Court. Now they want to give us another assessment. The previous assessments have not gone to other major capitol improvements to this community such as, Roof Replacement and Mansards so now most building have been leaking and destroying themselves for over 15 years since the Board Declared the Roofs where shot in 1995.
The Board and TMMC are just running a huge Business which sucks up all of our money each year and we are left with nothing. All they have done is raise our dues over Ten times in 12 years, give us 3 special assessments and use all the money and allow this place to fall apart.
The Board and TMMC will not cut cost and go into emergency mode. The property values losses, due to there oversight in allowing this community to fall apart, for each homeowner are in the Tens of thousands of dollars. I have personally lost over 35 thousand Dollars in loss, due the Roof, Mansards, paint and other conditions of the complex.
We are indeed being held hostage when these Board of Directors, and TMMC, as they continue allowing our home value and quality of life be affected financially and emotionally by them not following there fiduciary duties as outlined in the Highline Meadows Declaration.
We have considered a Class action lawsuit but are trying other solutions like having the State or local government assist us some how. We need change and we need it now! Other wise, we might be the first condemned property in the city of Centennial since its inception.
I hope you folks can assist us in some way since the Majority of Homeowners have no official say in what happens with our money.
Thanks !
Sincerely,
Joe Owner
Representative Member and homeowner at Highline Meadows
