Founders Village HOA

REMEMBER YOUR REQUEST FORMS

The ACC wishes to provide as smooth and speedy a turnaround time as possible.

The following are some helpful reminders to aid in a better ACC review.

Before you begin: Check The Master Declaration and the Residential Improvement Guidelines and Restrictions. You will also need to fill out the Architectural Submittal Form

Before you begin: Be sure to check the deadlines for all ACC meetings. The ACC may need to hold paperwork for more information so be sure to allow yourself at least a month to six weeks for the review process and written notification to be be mailed back to you. This will help assure you have the necessary review and notification in hand before your scheduled work begins.

ACC Approval In Writing Is Required Before You Begin

Except as provided in the Master Declaration, prior to commencement of any construction or installation of any improvement on Founders Village, the Plans and Specifications thereof shall be submitted to the ACC and construction thereof may not commence unless and until the ACC has approved such Plans and Specifications in writing.

Before you begin: If you are unsure or have any questions, contact the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Paperwork that does not meet ALL the requirements such as signatures, samples, and drawings, if applicable, will delay the response by the ACC.

Paperwork that is not received by the deadlines outlined below, will be held until the next scheduled ACC meeting.

Submittals are due at the Ridge House by noon the Saturday before an ACC Meeting. The Ridge House is located at 4501 Enderud Blvd Castle Rock, CO. Call: 720-733-2778.

THE ACC REQUESTS AN APPLICATION FOR EACH TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT

Example: Paint house, play set, concrete patio and hot tub.

These would be three separate submittals: 1. Paint 2. Play set 3. Concrete patio and hot tub.

Changes and additions to one's external property require an ACC Review.

Avoid delays and prevent additional costs, request forms are to be submitted before work begins. ACC review and notification of decision is required before work begins.

Be sure the contractor agreement contains the clause "contingent on ACC approval”. Write it in, if necessary.

FOR ALL REQUESTS ON ANY TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT:

ADJACENT OWNER'S SIGNATURES ARE REQUIRED: Neighbor needs to initial all drawings. By the neighbor's signature on the form, they indicate they are aware of the application for ACC approval of the project or change being submitted. Neighbors do not and will not indicate approval or disapproval of a project, but only that they are aware of the scope and concept of the project. IF THEY HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THIS APPLICATION REQUEST, ADJACENT OWNER MAY CONTACT THE FOUNDERS VILLAGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION REPRESENTATIVE AT (303) 224-0004.

Painting

An approved color from the paint book does not mean you can start painting.

Paint Schemes are specifications of an improvement.

Popular colors will now be limited/restricted due to density in the filings.

The ACC has created a paint pallet book to make it easier for you to select a new color scheme. The paint book is reviewed periodically.

Be sure to use the list that is on the website. (Architectural Control Forms) If you cannot access the web, and want a copy of the color scheme lists found in the paint pallet book, ask the Ridge House staff to print you off a copy.

ACC approval is not required if color and/or color combinations are identical to the original color established on the home.

Any changes to the color scheme or color changes must be submitted for approval.

If you select one of the colors or color combinations from the paint pallet book, you will still need to submit the architectural request listing your proposed colors and color codes and a general description of the colors of the house on either side of your home. No color sample is needed. Please remember that the color combinations have been approved by the ACC in their current combinations as outlined in the paint pallet book. This means that in some cases paint color combinations cannot be changed, such as utilizing an "accent/punch" color for the main body color of your home.

If you choose not to use the suggested color scheme, you will need to submit the Architectural Request Form with your color samples painted on a hard surface at least 18"X 18", with a general description of the colors of the house on either side of your home.

Please be aware that submitting samples carries no guarantee of approval.

The paint pallet book can be viewed at the Ridge House, or by contacting the Management Company, or by contacting the Chairperson for the ACC to set up an appointment to meet.

The Castle Rock Sherwin Williams has the current book.

The color scheme lists found in the front of the paint pallet books are on file at the local area businesses of Kwal, Home Depot, and Lowe's.

Some businesses offer Founders Village homeowners a discount. Be sure to ask!

Sherwin Williams offers a 10% discount to all Founders Village homeowners at their Castle Rock location only!

If you see something you like in the books, but want to use a different manufacturer:

Simply print off the list on the Architectural Control Forms page, or write down the name of the manufacturer of the book, the scheme number and all the line item data, and then go to your dealer of choice and ask them to mix up the Competitive Formula.

Staining the new Fence:

If you would like to stain the inside of the new fence, Kwal Paint in Parker, 18910 Longs Way, 1/2 North of Main Street off Parker Road, 303-840-4947, has the stain you must use. It has a 5yr life UV protection and is a natural look. When you go, ask for the Founders Village Fence Stain.

The ACC will meet on the following days:
