EMHA Official Documents Overview

The Evergreen Meadows Homeowners Association (EMHA) is a Colorado nonprofit corporation that represents the interests of its members and property owners.   The EMHA provides a variety of services to our community, including managing shared properties owned by the association, as well as enforcing the protective covenants which in various forms have been assigned to all properties within the Evergreen Meadows subdivision (Units 1 through 9).    

Below are the official documents that guide the “corporate” responsibilities of the Association:
Covenants

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 2018.   Declaration of Protective Covenants and Restrictions 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.  The current ARB Guidelines enforced today at located at -->  EMHA ARB Guidelines (doesn't include wildlife corridor provisions) .  

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.
