Important Covenant Enforcement Information
|
Covenant Reminders:
Please remember to follow our Residential Improvement Guidelines when making changes to your yard. Below are a few tips regarding trees, lawns and fences.
Trees:
If you need to replace a tree, they need to be the correct species of tree located on schedule 5 of the plant palette located
here. They also need to be planted with the following size requirements: Deciduous trees - 2.5" caliper, Ornamental trees - 2" caliper, Evergreen trees - 6' height minimum.
Lawns:
Lawns must be watered and maintained. Each owner shall maintain all landscaping on their lot in a neat and attractive condition, including periodic and horticultural correct pruning, removal of weeds and debris, and replacement of landscaping. This applies to the front, back and side yards as well as the street/tree lawn area.
Fences:
Regular physical and aesthetic maintenance of fencing is required. All fences must be stained using one of the the approved stain colors shown on Schedule 2 of the covenant document and sealed with a clear waterproof sealant. Decks may be finished with clear semi-transparent sealer, stained to match a cedar tone, an oil based wood finish or a similar product that matches. The decks may also be painted to match the body or trim color of the home. Please review the covenant document
here for the full list of painting/staining requirements.

The Wheatlands Metropolitan District formed a separate park committee to allow decisions regarding the park at S. Kewaunee Way and Wheatlands Parkway to be made quickly and without needing a quorum of the board.
Architerra has submitted 90% of the construction documents which are being reviewed by the board. Here are some updates:
Design:
- The playground wall length and features have been finalized to fit within budget.
- Two concrete retaining walls were added to reduce grading into the existing berms at the upper playground.
- The final colors for all the site furnishings have been selected.
- LED lights were selected and integrated into the design
Site Plan Submittal
- The electrical engineer has created a photometric plan and detailed the new light pole.
- There has been coordination back and forth with the City to finalize the site plan.
- The site plan pre-submittal meeting was scheduled for June 28, 2018.
Below is phase 1 of the park that will be completed. If everything goes as planned we are hoping for construction to begin the middle of November with a completion date of early spring.
