Open Space Flooding

Open space behind my house has flooded every single spring & HOA continued to swear it was responsibility of Town of Parker. This year it got so bad that I started to push harder on my neighbor & friend who is also the HOA board president. Ironically it effects her back yard as well but has refused to get board to address it. Open space on opposite side of my yard fence is flooded probably a 20 ft by 40 ft area easily & has been for months. I started begging them to do something in June but was told "it's to wet to do anything", "it's to expensive". "gonna try to get the city to pay for it". I finally asked that they just tell me what was feasible as a fix & I would take care of it at my own expense. I was told that would be to complicated because Colorado Law requires board approval at an open meeting. So they refused to fix it & wouldn't not let me fix it.

6/19/23 a crack appeared all the way across my living room ceiling. Board meeting was 7/22 & I was told it would be addressed. 7/19/23 I was told that HOA got Town of Parker to fix it but wouldn't be done until winter because it's to wet & they are to busy but it would be best option because they weren't going to charge the HOA to do it.

Engineer came out to inspect my home & now I have a $36,000 quote to fix my home because HOA was to cheap to fix the draining issue. And that's just to stabilize it, not repair of the drywall or basement cement that has also sunk & cracked. I will be seeking legal help to make the HOA accountable.

I guess we are very lucky to live in an HOA, where all the neighbors are friendly and helpful. We have a "neighbors helping neighbors" kind of neighborhood. We have volunteers running the HOA, so maybe that's why we can keep the costs down. The only problem I can see is finding someone to fill a position, if the need arises, but we usually find one of us to volunteer. That in itself keeps the cost down for all of us. Every morning we take a walk around the neighborhood, sometimes several of us, and sometimes just a few. We've…

Threatened with fines during covid

In 2020 when covid began to hit our communities while people were feeling the effects of crisis and financial instability, Harvest Park HOA had gone through our neighborhood and began to threaten people with fines for minimal weeds. Numerous people were threatened with these fines while trying to navigate a global crisis. It was unnecessary and only added to people’s increased stress and worry. Many felt it was a way the HOA tried to increase their profits during this unstable time.
