Planning Changes or
Improvements?
HOA2 is a covenant-protected community, and all changes to the exterior of your
house or lot, including landscaping and changes in paint color, must be
approved by the Architectural Control Committee/Covenant Control Committee.
Canterbury and Broadwick residents should contact
the Canterbury/Broadwick HOA.
For all other HOA 2 residents, follow the procedures outlined in the CPN HOA 2
Regulations and Residential Improvement Guidelines.
Summary of
Submission Requirements
If you are planning to make any changes/ additions to the exterior of your home
or property, you must submit a written request for approval a minimum of 30
days prior to commencement of work.
- All requests must be
submitted in writing to the ACC Contact Address.
- Complete the Request for
Approval and attach all plans including drawings, colors and materials.
In most cases, a simple
drawing and description will be sufficient. In the case of major improvements,
such as, but not limited to, room additions, decks, structural changes or
accessory building construction, detailed plans and specifications, prepared by
a licensed architect, are required upon submittal.
The ACC may require
submission of additional material and the Committee may postpone action until
all required materials have been submitted. If the ACC feels additional
materials are necessary or if it needs any additional information or has any
suggestions for change, the application is denied for incompleteness. It will
be returned to the applicant for resubmission.
The ACC shall approve or disapprove all plans and requests within thirty (30)
days after submission. If the ACC requires an extension of time (over the 30
days) for request approval, a written agreement with the homeowner, signed by
both parties to extend the time period shall be required.
HOA 2 review provides verification that the proposed modifications and/or
improvements meet HOA 2's requirements. It does not assure compliance with the
appropriate building codes or requirements of the Douglas County Building Department.

Why have
Covenants & Architectural Approvals?
These guidelines have been prepared in order to implement standards and provide
direction to homeowners in Castle Pines North Homeowners Association #2 (CPN
HOA 2)with landscaping and/or other improvements to their property. The
requirements, objectives, standards, and procedures contained within are all
intended to establish, maintain, and provide overall continuity throughout the
community. Compliance with these residential guidelines and regulations will
help preserve the inherent architectural and aesthetic quality of the whole
community.
A spirit of cooperation
with the Architectural Control Community (ACC) and neighbors will go far in
creating an optimum environment, which will benefit all homeowners. By
following these guidelines and regulations and obtaining approvals for
improvement to property from the ACC, homeowners will be protecting their
financial investment and will help ensure that improvements to property are
compatible with standards established for CPN HOA 2. If a question ever arises
to the correct interpretation of any terms, phases, or language contained in
these guidelines and regulations, the Board of Directors' interpretation
thereof shall be final and binding.
HOA 2 has adopted formal
procedures for violations, including fines, where a homeowner does not comply
with covenants or with the requirement to obtain approval for exterior
improvements. (see Documents).
Covenant violation complaints must be submitted in writing to ACC Committee.
All mail must include a return name, address, and phone number. Anonymous mail
