Neighborhood Guidelines

These guidelines have been on the Reserve HOA Website for many years and have been in effect for  almost 30 years. They are intended to serve as a simple reminder of the best and most neighborly  practices that have helped to make the Reserve such a great place to live. And, importantly, these  guidelines are based on the current Reserve HOA governing documents, particularly the HOA’s  longstanding Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”).  

Residents are expected to:  

1. Keep their yards well groomed, trimmed, free of noxious weeds (particularly dandelions) and watered on a regular basis. 
2. Drive SLOWLY through the neighborhood. Observe STOP signs and speed limits. Assure that family and visiting teenagers of driving age understand and follow safe driving practices in the neighborhood.  
3. Not disturb neighbors with late night, or early morning obnoxious noises such as: dog  barking, loud music, revving motors, power tools, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, etc.
4. Keep bright outside floodlights from shining into their neighbor's windows. 
5. Keep their front lamp post lights in working order and automatically turned on in the  evening, to serve as streetlights for the neighborhood. 
6. Keep trash and grass clippings out of sight and either put trash containers out late the night before or early in the morning the day of trash pickup. 
7. Not to regularly park personal cars on the street, but keep them parked in the garage or on the driveway overnight. 
8. Instruct visitors, construction workers and others not to park in front of their neighbor’s property or in front of mailboxes, to allow access by the mail carrier. 
9. Talk with their children about courtesy and behavior in the neighborhood, such as: making loud noises, respecting the pool and tennis area rules, not running or playing in the street, cutting across neighbor's yards, and, in general, being respectful of others. 
10. Store personal trailers, campers, boats out of sight, in their garage or at another off-site location. 
11. Direct construction dumpsters to be parked in the driveway instead of on the road, if possible. Talk with neighbors about the estimated length of construction remodel projects. Encourage the contractors to be respectful of the neighborhood and monitor their behavior.
12. Follow the Reserve pool, playground, and tennis rules. 
13. Keep dogs and other pets under immediate control at all times. Pick up dog droppings from neighbor's property and HOA common areas. Keep dog barking at a minimum at all times so as not to disturb neighbors.  
14. Keep those portions of the Reserve Drive sidewalk adjoining their property free from ice and snow following HOA plowing and whenever necessary to ensure safe walking conditions for their neighbors. 
15. Keep garage doors closed when not using the garage. 
16. Respect the wildlife and their natural habitat, our HOA is adjacent to both designated  Boulder County Open Space and the Sombrero Marsh wildlife habitat. 
17. Follow Architectural Control Committee (“ACC”) rules and regulations and the CC&Rs. Obtain ACC approval prior to making significant changes to their homes or property, such as: changing outside paint color, changing landscaping, installing new roofing, replacing  mailboxes, etc.
