Copy of the Covenants
Below are links to copies of the covenants for the Pinery. If you have any questions, please contact the PHA Office at (303) 841-5305 or email ARC@pinery.org.
Pinery Architectural Standards
Covenants direct that the Architectural Committee develop "standards for reviewing submittals". Therefore, the Pinery Architectural Standards work in concert with covenants and can guide you through the submittal process.
Finding Your Filing Number
If you do not know your filing number, you can go to Assessor Parcel Search on the Douglas County Assessor's Office Website. Type in your last name only and/or the address number and the street name.
NOTE: Enter the street name only (without north, east, place, or way). For example, enter "Windlawn" not "East Windlawn Way". Also, if you enter the name, it is best to enter only the last name. (Enter "Smith" instead of "John Smith").
The filing number will be the number after "The Pinery". For example "LOT 2 BLK 3 THE PINERY #1" would be filing number 1.

Covenant Violations
Public Notice of Policy Statement
The purpose of this public notice is to make Pinery residents aware of the circumstances under which the ARC plans to file a Notice of Covenant Violation. Your Pinery Architectural Review Committee is charged with enforcing the covenants in the Pinery subdivision. In the vast majority of cases which come before the ARC, a satisfactory conclusion is obtained once the homeowner and the ARC discuss the particular issue in light of the covenants.
In rare cases, the ARC is forced to seek a court order to enforce the covenants. Such cases are carefully considered by the ARC and its legal counsel due to the expense of litigation. On the advice of its legal counsel, the Pinery ARC has adopted the use of another option, the filing of a Notice of Covenant Violation with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder.
A Notice of Covenant Violation will be filed in cases where a homeowner is in clear violation of a covenant provision. Because of the serious effect of such a notice, the Notice of Covenant Violation will be filed in cases where a homeowner is in violation of the covenants despite a minimum of two (2) written attempts by the ARC to resolve the particular issue. In addition, the homeowner will be invited to appear before the ARC to discuss and resolve the issue in person prior to the filing of the Notice. If, after such process, the matter cannot be resolved, the Notice of Covenant Violation will be filed with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder if the ARC affirmatively votes that such filing will assist in the enforcement of the covenants.
Upon completion of the required changes, the homeowner will notify the committee to request inspection and submit $500 to cover administrative and filing fees. If, after inspection, the violation is judged to be resolved, the Notice previously recorded as part of the public record, will be canceled. This will be done by recording a Notice of Compliance, with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder. This Notice will cite the prior recorded document, recite that the homeowner has completed all requirements to conform with the covenants of the Pinery, and affirm that the prior Notice is no longer of any force or effect.
