A 2019 committee of homeowners volunteered to review and update the guidelines about parking in our neighborhood. They presented recommendations to homeowners at the 2019 Annual Homeowners Meeting. In December 2019 homeowners voted to amend the Declaration parking rules. We encourage you to read the entire Parking Amendment. The following is intended to summarize the Parking Amendment but does not address each and every point in the Parking Amendment.- Homeowners are encouraged to use their driveways for parking, but may park on the street in compliance with Town of Frisco regulations, Colorado law and The Reserve’s rules.
- When parking on the street, vehicles must park in the direction of traffic and not obstruct other's property. (In addition, per Colorado law, no vehicle may be parked within 5 feet of a public or private driveway, 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 20 feet of a crosswalk and 30 feet of a stop sign or yield sign.)

chevron_rightCan I plant trees in the open space or preservation area? Homeowners can plant trees in those areas. If you plant them, it is suggested you place them randomly (so it doesn't look like a tree farm). Please know you will be expected to care for them (water, trimming). Be sure to keep in mind that you can't plant trees on Town of Frisco owned property on each side of the roads. Please check your plot plan from your builder or the Town of Frisco.Also beware that Xcel Energy has above and underground easements. SO CALL 811 before you dig!!! Note that occasionally they come through and mark/cut trees that are too close to the power line, regardless of the location of the tree.
-
chevron_rightWhy is there so much snow plowed in front of my house?
- The Town of Frisco requires each property to have a "snow storage area" and the area adjacent to the street is it. Your plot plan or survey will show you exactly where it is. If you need more information, contact the Town of Frisco planning department.
-
Annual flowers and ground cover can be planted in that area, but the Town can dig at any time and is not responsible for any damage.
-
Contact the Architecture Review committee (ARC) before getting this or any major landscaping project started. Also some projects may require town approval. We do know the Town doesn't typically approve boulders or trees in that area.
For more information on Easements (Right of Way), go to Article IX found on page 30 of the Covenants. -
