About Country Club HOA
The Country Club HOA (CCHOA) was created in 1999 with the goal to protect and preserve our unique architectural and custom neighborhood. We are nestled along the boundaries of Palmer Park and the Colorado Springs Country Club. Most homes were originally built in the 60’s. Our neighborhood consists of custom homes along with lots that are larger than normal lots in Colorado Springs. CCHOA includes 9 subdivisions which total 315 homes along with two nearby District 11 schools and two churches. Our central location provides us easy access to medical, educational, entertainment and commercial services including our vibrant downtown area.
The CCHOA is a voluntary HOA which continues to be active and managed by a board of neighborhood volunteers. The HOA provides a website, 3 newsletters a year, an annual meeting, 3 social events, and 2 neighborhood cleanup events. We also provide a discounted trash service with Waste Connections.
Our mission is to have an active voluntary HOA to help maintain the current architectural characteristics of our homes, as well as a neighborhood community with a focus on safety, including fire mitigation. One of the most effective ways to accomplish these goals is through being good neighbors and building community. We build community through social events and communication via a website, newsletters, and an annual meeting. Our neighborhood is strongly committed to neighbors connecting with each other.
Though all 9 subdivisions have covenants, it’s not reasonable to expect a volunteer neighbor to enforce covenants on their neighbors. Our focus on being good neighbors and communication between neighbors helps resolve questions and issues without escalation to covenants and city code. If a problem is of a serious issue that impacts the safety of the neighborhood, legal action can always be taken by neighbors to enforce covenants or city code.
CCHOA 3 Point Plan
-
Community
The first and foremost responsibility is to build a community of friends and neighbors that can count on one another in good times and bad. We have seen over the last several years with fires and floods, that neighborhoods who know each other can work together to overcome any obstacle. We will be putting together a packet that outlines your HOA.
-
Communication
We want to be able to communicate with every home owner and occupant in such a way that it is cost effective and assessable. We are in the process of developing a new web site and semi-annual newsletter to keep residents informed. This will go hand in hand with our monthly board meetings.
-
Safety
We all know the value of living in a safe area. Safety is also the responsibility to know your neighbors, mitigate your property, and have a plan in the event of an evacuation. We will continue to work hard to encourage a “neighborhood Watch” program, to take part in evacuation drills, and let you know of essential city services to help make you and your community welcoming place to reside. We need to be aware of threats from Palmer park. It is recognized as high fire hazard, and has multiple crime issues. We are working with groups that support the park and with the City Parks Department.
