CC&Rs is real estate acronym which stands for Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. CC&Rs variously regulate the usages and aesthetics of a neighborhood or development to a greater or lesser degree. The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's) are the governing legal documents that set up the guidelines for the operation of PCVA as a non-profit corporation. The governing legal documents for the association may be viewed online at https://www.pcva.org/governing-documents.html
The bylaws for the Association are the written documents that guide the structure and operation of the HOA. The bylaws provide for the election of the Board of Directors, the responsibilities of the Board and the Associations residents. You can view the bylaws online at https://www.pcva.org/governing-documents.html Homeowners are responsible for maintaining yard lights on their lot in like-new condition. Damaged fixtures must be replaced with the identical type and color fixture (bronze/dark). Refer to Section 4.16.1 of the Community Guidelines.
You can get the HOA approved yard light fixture (http://peak-lighting.com/260106) at Peak Lighting, 4315 Sinton Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80907. The item number for this fixture is 3010LTES. Contact Donna Anderson of Peak Lighting if you need a replacement light at 719-531-5200 or donna@peak-lighting.com (Updated Dec 12, 2019) Amazon has the light too https://www.amazon.com/Maxim-Lighting-3010LTES-Odessa-Espresso/dp/B0018ANJZE/ref=sr_1_1 The PCVA governing documents do not prohibit private garage sales. They do, however, prohibit the placement of signs advertising and directing garage sales. PCVA sponsors 2 community wide garage sales a year - one in the spring and one in the fall. Please visit the home page (www.pcva.org) to see when the next garage sale is planned. It's really a good deal - the PCVA Community Connection Committee sets up online registration, provides digital maps and address lists, and advertises online and via social media. We highly recommend that you take advantage of the association's twice annual garage sales rather than holding a private garage sale.
One of the visions of the developer when planning Pine Creek was to minimize street parking and to keep streets wide open and spacious. The Association is in agreement with this vision and strives to enforce parking regulations. But this doesn't mean street parking is illegal - there are just some restrictions.
CLICK HERE for the the sections from the Community Guidelines on parking in Pine Creek. Your assessment is the monthly amount you pay to support the Association's budget. The Association spends money on grounds maintenance, management, various community activities and more. The Association's financials are available to all PCVA residents.

Q: How is the amount of my assessment determined? A: The Board of Directors, in close collaboration with the management company, develops an annual budget based on historical expenditures, expected future expenditures, and planned contributions to operating and capital reserves. The reserves are necessary to pay for major expenditures that can't be expected to be paid from monthly operating capital. The assessments are calculated based on the planned budget for the upcoming year. The board works hard to maximize services and minimize assessments. Q: What happens if I don't pay my assessment? A: The Association relies on the timely payment of assessments to pay for current expenses. The CC&R's allow the Association to charge late charges and interest and proceed with a lien on your property, or foreclosure proceedings for nonpayment of assessments. Please pay your assessments on time. If you are having problems, please contact PineCreek@ehammersmith.com or 719-389-0700.
