Board Meeting

 The Annual RC3HOA Board Meeting was held October 17, 2020 at the La Veta Library. The meeting focused on signs, Covenant violations, County regulations, and budget.  If you are an rc3hoa member and would like to have a copy of the minutes, please send an email request to rc3hoa@aol.com.

Mountain Lions

A small mountain lion and a mama lion were seen October 6, 2020 near CR 504 and Calle La Sierra Blanca Drive.  Last year a mule was killed by a mountain lion in the same area.

Meeting.  A meeting will held October 17, 2020 at 1:00 at the La Veta Library.  Attendees at this time are limited to six people by the library due to COVID-19.  If you are not a Board Member and would like to attend please let me know at rc3hoa@aol.com and we'll see what we can do.

Building Code.   Questions regarding building code have been asked many times lately.  The following is offered for clarification:

Can a 10x12 shed with a second story be built?  No. The County will allow a 10x12, single story shed without a permit as will the HOA.  A two story shed is not allowed by the County nor the HOA.

Any structure,even smaller than 10x12, requires HOA approval.

Any structure larger than 10x12 first must have HOA approval before the County will approve.  Structures built larger than a 10x12 shed without HOA and County approval will be reported to the County.

The minimum size for a residence is 600 square feet per the County and the HOA.  A permit is required.  Proof of water acquistion is required (drill a well or haul water).  A septic system is required by the Health Department, County and HOA.

Please contact the County for Building Code Requirements.  The County has said by Resolution an HOA, if existing, must approve before the County will review or approve.  This applies to Rio Cucharas Phase 3.  Property owners in Phase 1 or 2 and Greenhorn Village apply directly to the County.  Any one can report violations or potential violations on the County website.

Recently a property owner found a squatter was occupying their lot.  The squatter (a family) was forced to leave.  They left months of household trash and other things.  The lot owner had the lot cleaned up.

Also, the County is enforcing zoning and building code. 

Steel shipping containers are not allowed.  Building permits are required for construction of structures larger than 120 sf. 

These are County regulations and apply to all phases of Rio Cucharas and Greenhorn Village.

Please let the HOA know if you have concerns about your property.  Our primary concerns are keeping the place cleaned up and ending illegal activity.

You, as an individual can report illegal activity to the County.

The HOA met last month. 

The HOA is considering filing liens on property for which 2019 (and later) dues have not been paid.  Advance notice would be given to the property owner.  The feeling is that it is not fair to those who have paid dues that others have not.  If you have comments or would like to receive a payment form please contact us at rc3hoa@aol.com.

Dues have paid for mailing, postage, paper, trash clean up, water rights protection, insurance, street signs, and other miscellaneous, small items.  The Board is volunteer and not paid,  There is no paid staff and no property owned by the HOA.

Local realtors and a title company will be given letters announcing RC3HOA as being active and that they should be aware as they handle transactions.

An out of state private property owner's fence will be repaired at no cost to the owner using salvaged and personally donated materials.

The HOA has requested the County install a No Outlet sign on one of the cul-de-sacs.

If you are a member and would like a copy of the minutes, please send a request to rc3hoa@aol.com.
