Hover Ridge Architectural Change Review Request Instructions
It is extremely important that some INTERIOR and ALL EXTERIOR
IMPROVEMENTS OBTAIN REQUIRED APPROVAL by the Association prior to
starting on the work. This is a requirement of the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions. The intent of this requirement is not to hinder people
from freedom of choice but to ensure their choices are in harmony with the
overall appearance of the community. An attractive, harmonious community will
be a desirable place in which to live, and will also prove to be a better investment
over time than one in which architectural control is not enforced.
To make a request, complete an Architectural Change form and submit it, with all
backup documents, to:
Hover Ridge Condominium c/o Trio Property Management
P.O. Box 106
Niwot, CO 80544
Phone: (303) 517-8486
Fax: (303) 652-2161
trioproperty@comcast.net
When filling out the form, include as much specific information as possible. Each
submittal will require these items to be included but are not limited to the
following:
• Architectural Change form.
• Description of proposed improvement or change.
• Plot Map or equivalent to-scale drawing with existing and proposed
modifications
• Material(s) used
• Size
• Color
• Samples
• Copy of building permit where it applies
• Manufacturer’s Specifications and Brochures
Each completed request form and all attachments must be submitted to Trio
Property Management so that the Community Manager can record them and
track the work to completion.
If you have any questions about the form or about the review process, please call
your Community Manager at Trio Property Management, (303) 517-8486.

It is each homeowner’s responsibility to obtain construction and access permits as
required by the City of Longmont prior to beginning work. The approval of the Architectural
Change form does not waive any local, county, or state ordinances or laws, nor does it grant
necessary approvals or requirements of the local building department. Each individual
homeowner is required to abide by those requirements for approval and construction.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO NOT ALTER THE DRAINAGE ON YOUR
LOT BY YOUR LANDSCAPING OR OTHER LOT IMPROVEMENTS.
What is an Architectural Review?
Architectural Review is the power of the Homeowners Association to govern the
exterior appearance and some internal changes of all properties in the
community upon which homes are built.
Where does the authority come from?
The authority comes from the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions for the Association, which is a legal document, recorded with the
Clerk and Recorder prior to any home being purchased.
Are homeowners provided the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and
Restrictions as well as Addendums?
Yes. Each homeowner receives the information prior to the purchase of his/her
home.
Do I have a choice regarding the Architectural Review?
By virtue of the purchase of your home in the Hover Ridge community, you have
agreed to the legal documents of the Association and to the jurisdiction of the
Association.
Why are there architectural standards?
The benefit of the Architectural review is basically two fold. First, the community
in which you live will maintain its attractive appearance if there are standards.
Second, if the community maintains its attractive appearance, the value of all
properties in the community will be retained at a higher level than if there were no
Architectural Review and approval.
Once again, the intent of this requirement is not to hinder people from freedom of
choice but to ensure their choices are in harmony with the overall structure and
appearance of the community. An attractive, harmonious community will be a
desirable place in which to live, and will also prove to be a better investment over
time than one in which architectural control is not enforced.
