Evergreen Meadows is blessed with a beautiful mountain
environment that supports a wonderful array of wildlife. The goal of the Declaration of Covenants is to allow our ~490 property owners to harmoniously live in the area without
unnecessarily detracting from the natural beauty nor disrupting the wildlife habitat. All property owners within
Evergreen Meadows (whether paid EMHA members or not) are subject to the covenants. The Evergreen Meadows Homeowners Association
(EMHA) is specifically chartered with the responsibility to enforce these covenants, originally developed in the 1970s and revised in December
of 1988 by a majority vote of more than two-thirds of all
affected property owners. These 1988 covenants are enforced today.
Architectural and Construction Guidelines
Since
the original development of Evergreen Meadows, all construction undertaken within the development (whether new construction or changes to existing structures), has been
subject to review by the EMHA Board or its designated review committee. After more than 15 years of experience with
the original covenants, the owners decided the community would be served by a
new Declaration. The 1988 revision of the Covenants provides better clarity as
to objectives of the review and standards for the evaluations, and detailed architectural and construction Guidelines were formally
adopted by the Evergreen Meadows community in the fall of 1994. Here are the 1994 architectural and construction guidelines enforced today.
Bylaws
The Bylaws of the Evergreen Meadows Homeowners Association
define how the Association is to be organized and how it conducts its corporate
responsibilities as proscribed by the Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws specify the requirements for
membership in the Association, meetings, voting and quorums at those
meetings. The Bylaws define the
organization’s structure and responsibilities of the Board of Directors,
Officers and Standing Committees. The
Bylaws also outline appeal procedures if a property owner objects to a decision and/or feels that the covenants or guidelines have been inappropriately interpreted in their case. Lastly, the Bylaws provide a process required
to amend the Bylaws. The EMHA's current Bylaws click here..
