The Native Grass that you see throughout PCVA is intentional and is only mowed once during the season, typically in the Fall. This allows for the native to thrive, seed itself, and fill out better for the next sprouting season to drown out the weeds. In years past, this has been over-mowed, and it is not being nurtured properly to achieve the intended look and health of these areas.
If an individual arrives at your door unannounced and tries to sell you something or requests access to your home, you determine what happens.

Pet waste is a problem in our neighborhoods when pet owners do not clean up after their pets. Not only is it violating the PCVA covenants to leave your pet’s waste laying in the common areas, the poop is a nuisance and can carry viruses and bacteria that are harmful to humans and animals. ** Pet owners are ALWAYS responsible for cleaning up after their pet in common and homeowner areas ** Pet Feces a Danger to Our Water Dog owners, please take responsibility and clean up after your pets in Pine Creek common areas (sidewalks, roads, greenways, etc.). Dog poop smells bad and no one likes stepping in it, but it is more than an inconvenience: it is a legitimate danger. Dog poop dangers come in several forms: - It pollutes waterways and is in the same EPA category as oil and mine runoff! - It poisons grass and lawns. - It carries hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms, and more. - It transmits human diseases, too!

If you happen to have a commercial sign (for example, for a roofer or window company), please take a moment to remove this from your yard. The management team will be issuing further compliance notices for any properties with signs displayed if not removed by Friday, July 14, 2023, as your Association's governing documents prohibit the display of advertising and commercial signs (see section 2.10 of the Guidelines.)

Please help keep our neighborhood roadways safe for everyone by signaling as you enter and exit Pine Creek traffic circles (roundabouts) to ensure road safety within our neighborhoods.
Per the Colorado Driver Handbook: - p. 20 - Rotary Island/Roundabout Lane: Yield to traffic already within the rotary island. Drive to the right and watch for directional signs and signals. - p. 22 - Signaling: Before making any turn, whether the turn is into another roadway, a parking lot, another traffic lane, or leaving a parked position, it is extremely important that you signal. Your signal lets other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians know your intentions. In urban or metropolitan areas, you must signal continuously for 100 ft. before making a turn or lane change. On four-lane highways where the posted speed limit is more than 40 m.p.h. you must signal for 200 ft.Failing to signal is a traffic violation.
