Q: Do I need HOA approval to have a yard sale?
A: You do not need HOA approval to have a yard sale but it is encouraged to participate in the annual summer neighborhood yard sale. Details can be found on the community calendar.
Q: When are the Board meetings? When is the annual Board meeting with budget?
A: Meeting dates will be posted on the Community Calendar page.
Q: Can the HOA help get a light on 136th and Clayton?
A: We have already inquired to the City of Thornton. Their response at this time was that the city completed an engineering study of that area early 2021. At that time, the location did not meet the required criteria for a traffic signal. The city is scheduling a follow up study to look at it again this year. For the field data collection, the city wanted to capture school traffic. These studies take about 4 weeks to be completed and reviewed. They will follow up once complete. Once we hear from the city, we will update this question.
UPDATE:
From the City of Thornton, Senior Civil Engineer, Traffic As of December 21, 2022: The traffic study showed that the intersection does not meet the required criteria for a traffic signal so there are no plans to install a light at this time. The City is now looking to see if there are other options such as adjusting signal timing that could help.
Q: Can I drain my pool in my yard? Or can my neighbor drain their pool, with the water coming into my yard?
A: This is not an HOA issue. However, here are some steps to follow:
If the water is chlorinated, leave uncovered for 8-10 days to oxidize the chlorine.
For risk of flooding, do not drain into street.
It is recommended a slow drain into the homeowner’s lawn to allow the water to absorb and keep the runoff out of neighbor’s yards.
Q: Which colors are we allowed to paint our homes?
A: Click on the link to the Sherwin Williams website of approval colors in CWP3, found on the Design Review Information page.
If you do NOT paint the same color as your right-left-behind-in front of neighbors, and you select an approved color you do not need to ask for approval. You are approved.
If you would like to paint a color that is not approved yet, you must submit for ARC approval.
Q: What can the HOA do about my neighbor parking on the street?
A: With the new State of Colorado laws, HOA’s have no control over parking on the street.
Q: What must I get ARC approval for?
A: Please see the Cherrywood Park III Homeowner’s Guidelines for full details, found on the Design Review Information page.
Q: How do I submit an ARC request?
A: Click on the ARC request form link, found on the Design Review Information page.

Q: Can you show me a map of Cherrywood Park III (CWP3)?
A: A current map can be found on the HOA Information page.
Q: What can I do to get a speed hump installed on my street?
A: Please understand that the HOA has no control over speed humps as we do not own the streets in CWP3. This topic has been a discussion in the past with the community and the consensus of the forum at an HOA meeting was determined the majority of homeowners did not want these. There are pros and cons to speed humps in the neighborhood. Some cons of proceeding:
Interfere with response times of emergency vehicles
Moves the speeding problem to another street
Increase wear and tear to vehicles – on tires, brakes, suspension systems, shock absorbers and rattle dashboards.
More kids in the street playing on the speed humps as bike/skateboard jumps
Ice buildup on the speed humps
They are expensive to install (around $12,500) and expensive to remove.
Reduce property values on streets that have them
Increase noise levels – speed humps usher in a constant barrage of scraping cars and engines revving over the humps.
Q: Where can I find more information on Thornton's snow plows
You can find more details on that at this link.
Q: Why do I need to ask for approval to upgrade my home?
A: The current Board is in the process of updating and revising our documents. As soon as we have more information, we will provide it to the community. In the meantime, unfortunately we have to continue to keep submitting those ARC requests.
Q: Who can I ask if I have a question that I don’t see here?
A: Email us at info@cherrywoodpark3.org.
