Governing Document Rewrite Project

Over the past year, the Orchard HOA Board has partnered with Altitude Community Law to modernize and streamline our governing documents — the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Declaration (CC&Rs). These updates:

  • Bring us into compliance with Colorado law

  • Simplify confusing provisions

  • Address issues that have come up in our community over the years


Informational Session

Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:00 PM (Virtual) - you will receive an email with a link to join.

We invite all homeowners to join us for an informational session. This is your opportunity to:

  • Ask questions of the Board

  • Hear perspectives from your neighbors

  • Better understand the updates


What’s Included

As part of this process, you’ll find the following materials:

  • Updated governing documents — with bracketed comments from Altitude Community Law explaining the purpose of each clause

  • Board feedback on earlier drafts — providing context on how we approached these updates

  • Summary letter — outlining the process and highlighting key changes

We encourage everyone to review these materials before the session.


Why This Matters

This is a rare opportunity to refresh and modernize the rules that guide The Orchard. Updated governing documents will help us:

  • Reduce ambiguity

  • Prevent unnecessary conflict

  • Strengthen the framework that protects our homes, property values, and sense of community

Your engagement is essential to ensuring these documents are strong, enforceable, and reflective of who we are as a community.
