Dear Editor,Just a few words on a letter to the editor last month about defending covenants: Covenants are always a very sensitive subject no matter what the issue or discussion. In May 2009, a judge ruled that the assignment of rights for Filing 8 and a portion of 9 to the Woodmen Hills Metropolitan District and subsequently to the covenant board was found to be invalid. People in a position of trust pursued this while knowing as early as February 2007 that effective August 2006, Melody Homes/DR Horton no longer held rights to assign covenants over to anyone. This issue could have been put to rest if the metro district would have asked the wishes of the 185 homes in Filing 8 and a portion of 9. Instead, they chose to illegally charge fees and harass homeowners of a home rule community. Subsequently, the covenant board, with the support of the Metro District, in my opinion, looks to continue to violate Colorado Law via CRS 32-1-1004(8)(a),which states: “The board of a metropolitan district shall have the power to furnish covenant enforcement and design review services pursuant to this subsection (8) only if the revenues used to furnish such services are derived from the area in which the service is furnished.” Effective June 18, the WHMD in a board meeting stopped the collection of covenant fees- you decide.
