A Challenger Park Townhomes Board meeting is scheduled for March 17, 2020. Due to concerns of COVID-19, the Board Meeting will be a virtual GoToMeeting. Homeowners can join via phone, smart phone or computer. Details for joining the meeting are posted below.
A Challenger Park Townhomes Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday January 21, 2020 and will be held at South East Christian Church at 6:30pm. The meeting is not mandatory for homeowners but is a good place to get involved, discuss the community and learn about HOA topics.
Challenger Park Residents: Weather permitting; we will be seal coating the main roadway on the property starting at 7:30 am on 10/9 & 10/11. We request that all traffic stay out of the areas we have coned off until the following day when the area is opened by FRAM personnel. We ask that, starting the evening of 10/8, you park in the Church parking lot if your circle will be blocked in with the seal coating work. We will be doing half the road at a time. (See Phasing Map). Please be aware that where the road narrows only one car will be able to get through in one direction at a time. Please pay very close attention when passing through these areas. Please remove your vehicle from the side that is being done on that day. As of the 9th, the West side of the community will be blocked in from the road work and the 11th for the East side. The Church has allowed overnight parking in their lot. The only place that owners cannot park is in front of the Church’s school, however, parking areas that face Wintergreen can be used. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Accord Property Management or use the Contact Us section of the challengerparkhoa.com/contact/ website.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Your Board of Directors.
Construction of the school is NOT yet guaranteed. If you oppose the construction of a school on the open lot next to our home, you will have a chance the oppose the school’s construction.
The piece of open space land in question needs to be re-zoned by the town of Parker before a school can be built there. Owners of the land have applied for a re-zoning permit, but it hasn’t been granted yet.
This means homeowners can fight the re-zoning permit at the town public hearing. If a re-zoning permit is denied, no school can be built.
Let us give you an update on what happened at the last meeting on May 21st, 2019.
We started the meeting at 6 pm on May 21st, 2019 and there were about 60 homeowners collectively present from the Challenger Park Townhomes and Challenger Park Estates.
Representatives attending were 2 architects, 1 representative from the land owner, and the principal of the school at Southeast Christian church.
We learned that the zoning for the empty lot is currently zoned for sport fields. In order for a school to be built, the town of Parker must approve a re-zoning of the lot.
There was quite a bit of opposition for the school’s construction from both Challenger Park Townhomes and Challenger Park Estates communities.
Why build this new building?
The current school at Southeast Christian does not have desirable facilities for middle school grades. It’s not optimal for student size and the new equipment planned for middle school aged students.
Which grades and how many students are planned for the new proposed location?
The new school is to initially house 175 students. The amount of students may increase in years after the school is built. They will be middle school students ranging from 6th to 8th grades.
What about building height? I’m concerned it will block views.
The maximum height of the building is estimated to be 35 ft or less. Which is expected to be two stories high.
Will there be a barrier between the Townhomes and the school?
As of this latest meeting…no. Many CPTH homeowners at the meeting asked for a barrier. The current architecture planning is a natural tree barrier. CPTH homeowners voiced their preference to have a physical barrier between the townhome community and the school.
Architects will try to preserve the existing access to the Newlin Gulch / Cherry Creek trail.
How about light pollution from lights / noise?
They don’t expect events to happen on the sport fields in the evening at the new school.
But what about traffic?
This was a heated topic and had the most concern. There were ideas of putting a stop light at the entrance to Challenger Park Townhomes (1) . It’s assumed that the road connecting Wintergreen and Recreation Dr. (2) would make traffic worse since anyone could drive through it. One idea was to make a traffic circle or U-shaped drive only accessible from Recreation Dr to eliminate traffic on Wintergreen.
Another risk is that the parking along Wintergreen (3) might go away if traffic to the school is high enough. They discussed making a dedicated one direction only (heading East on Wintergreen) turn lane into the school. No official plans on that yet. The City of Parker is going to do a traffic study.
If rezoning is successful, how soon will construction begin?
It will likely be at least 30 months (approximately spring 2021) before the earliest construction begins because the school is fundraising. It’s estimated to take 10 months of construction activities to complete build the school.
We don’t know long-term plans of the school and by how much it might expand. The school ambiguously mentioned that there might be multiple phases in the schools plan but did not describe what the multiple phases include.That ambiguity made homeowners at the meeting nervous.
Before this meeting most of us thought there was nothing homeowners could do and the school was guaranteed to be built. That’s not the case at all.
The owners of that piece of land have already applied for re-zoning.
We’ll see a signpost on that piece of land within the next month or two telling us when the public zoning hearing will happen.
It is crucial that homeowners from Challenger Park Townhomes and Estates attend the zoning hearing to have the opportunity to sway the outcome of whether rezoning is granted or denied.
We’ll send another email out when we know more information.
Your Challenger Park Townhomes Board of Directors.
School construction NOT yet guaranteed Read More »
School construction will start next year but TOMORROW you can voice your concerns / ask questions.
Here’s the final reminder about what’s going to happen at the meeting:
SouthEast Christian Church owns the plot and is planning to build a school with a field on it. Two architectural planners came to the last board meeting to provide general information about the proposal.
We asked the architects to come back on May 21st at 6 pm (Tuesday) to listen to questions / concerns from Challenger Park Townhomes homeowners like you. They are very much willing to take feedback in order to mitigate concerns and to answer questions.
So here’s the plan.
Come on by with your questions and concerns for these folks on May 21st at 6 pm at the South East Christian Church.
After meeting with the architects, you can optionally stay for the Challenger Park Board meeting. One after another, it’s like hitting two birds with one stone.
See you then!

The Challenger Park Townhome Association will have a new trash service provider, Alpine Waste Management, effective November 28, 2018. The old service provider, Waste Management, will be removing their metal trash bins on the 28th and Alpine will be bringing in their trash bins. There is a possibility the community will be without waste bins for a short period this Wednesday on the 28th. Please do not leave any trash in the trash area if we are between trash bins on the 28th.
Along with Alpine’s waste service, we are pleased to announce that large item pick up will be available for all residents to schedule through Alpine, a fee will be charged to the home owner by Alpine for the large item pickup service.
To schedule a large item pick up with Alpine, contact Alpine’s customer service at 303-744-9881.
If unscheduled large items are dumped in the trash area it will not be picked up with the regular trash service and is illegal to do, you will be charge a $50 fine (which is higher cost than scheduling Alpine for a large item pickup).

Residents of the Challenger Park Townhome community,
Accord Management and the Challenger Park HOA board are working on scheduling inspections of the community back flows for 2017. Back flows are devices that are installed into plumbing systems in order to protect our water from contaminants. Regular inspection is important to ensure the back flow systems are functioning properly.
There is one back flow unit in each multi-family building. We do not currently have a listing for which homes have the back flow unit and what homes have a sump pit in them.
Please inspect your basement and respond if you have the back flow unit or sump pit in your home. Respond to Kimberly@accordhoa.com please include your unit number in your response.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our plumbing systems functioning in good order.
We had our annual meeting tonight. Two board positions were filled by the election of two board members: Deloss and Ashley. If you send payments by mail, the mailing address will change as of January 1, 2017.
The new payments address as of January 1, 2017 will be:

Hi folks. We had our board meeting on July 20th, 2016. The meeting minutes and the financials have been updated and posted in the documents section.
Road work DELAYED due to rain. Rain hit Parker and the road work will have to be delayed.
Road Work Begins Monday
Road work starts: Monday, June 13th, 2016
Road work ends: Tuesday June 14th, 2016 (latest by Wednesday)
Work is Weather Permitting
Updates: We will post updates on our challengerparkhoa.com community website. For questions, use the contact form on the website.
Fellow Homeowners,
You already know that that the board has been planning on fixing the main road these past few weeks. The contracted company, Perfect Patch, will begin bringing their equipment onsite on Saturday. They plan to park on the South side traffic circle. The scheduled work on the road is to begin Monday. Some of their equipment might be onsite in our community overnight. Weather permitting, the milling of the roads will begin Monday. If the weather is rainy, the work will be delayed.
After milling is complete, Perfect Patch will place a ramp on the main driveway for cars to drive on. The paving of the road should begin Tuesday. During paving, the road might be blocked off and cars might not be able to get in. It will be an inconvenience, so plan your travel accordingly. Parking on the street is a good idea if you’re planning on leaving mid-day. If for any reason additional items need to be addressed on Tuesday, then paving will be done on Wednesday. We will post updates on our challengerparkhoa.com community website. For questions, use the contact form on the website.
Dear Homeowners,
The Board is working diligently to schedule the repairs to the roads in our Community. We have received bids from 3 contractors and are in the process of selecting a company now. We hope to have a company on site within 3 weeks, weather permitting.
In years past we opted to patch potholes at a lower cost and each subsequent year the potholes get larger. The Board has decided to implement a more permanent fix to the problem rather than making temporary spot repairs each year. A significant investment will be needed to fix the problem. This will require that the main drive is milled, sloped and re-paved as a majority of the potholes exist on the main drive. The work is estimated to be just under $100,000 and the funds will be used from our reserve account. However, the results should insure minimal repairs for many years to come.
Once the work is scheduled, we will notify homeowners via the website at www.challengerparkhoa.com. There will be some temporary road closures so please check the website for more details. The main drive will be totally unaccessible for about an hour for the residents living in the southern units at some point. We will do our best to communicate that day and time.
Thank you for your continued patience with this matter.
Sincerely,
The Challenger Park Townhomes Association Board.
We had our board meeting today. One homeowner was present. Meeting minutes and the financial statements will be posted. The board is working on solutions to fixing the main road. Garage sales guidelines have been posted in the FAQ section.
We had our board meeting today. The meeting minutes have been uploaded in the documents section.
Congratulations folks. The community has new amended declarations and they are available in the documents area for viewing.
Board meeting dates have been updated on the front page side bar. Our repeated annual meeting will occur on January 20th. It is repeated because we could not reach quorum at the last December meeting. Please mail in your voting proxies so that we can reach quorum at this meeting. Alternatively, you can drop off your proxies as the black mailbox when entering the community.
You should have received a packet from Accord management in your mailbox. See how to make payments. Your previous auto-pay schedule that was active with 4Seasons has automatically been canceled.
We also wanted to mention that enough votes were received from homeowners to go ahead and approve the new declarations. Thank you for your support and participation in keeping our community well. We anticipate that in the next few weeks, the new declarations will be active.
Have a Happy New Year!
Accord Management will be mailing a packet to all residents with payment instructions included in it. We do not have this information yet. Hang on to your payments until you receive the packet.
Today we had our Annual board meeting. Unfortunately, we did not meet quorum, and therefore could not vote new board members in. We will have to repeat the annual meeting again in 2016. The new budget has been approved, but it will likely change in the coming weeks as some changes with the insurance policy are expected.
Accord Property Management will manage our company starting January 2016.
You should get a letter from Accord Management in your mailbox soon.
The community board of directors are changing management for upcoming 2016. 4Seasons Management will continue its service until the end of 2015. We will provide more updates as they become apparent.
The annual meeting is on December 15th, at 6:30 pm, at the SouthEast Christian Church across the street. Please come to see what’s going on in the community or to have your voice heard.
The new declarations documents deadline is November 13th, 2015. All homeowners should have received the new declarations by mail with a consent form. You can also view the declarations and the consent form online. Please fill out the consent form and send it back to the HOA so we as a community can save costs. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the board using the contact form on this website.
Community financial documents have been updated and are available in the documents section.
We had our Board meeting today at 6:30 pm. Meeting minutes are posted in the Documents section.
Document consent forms have been sent out again to revise our existing declarations. To understand why this is important for your future here at Challenger Park Townhomes, please see the letter that was mailed. Please sign your consent forms, and you can either drop them off at the black drop off box near the first set of mailboxes in the community, mail them, or scan them and submit using the website contact form. We hope to get your consent forms soon. Board members will be walking door to door trying to collect these within 1 month as well. If you see your neighbors, please remind them as well.
Parking validation form is up under the contact us section.
Towing policy has begun on August 15th, 2015.
You must validate your GUEST PASS on this website / calling management before hanging it up, otherwise you will be towed with a non-validated guest hang tag. Towing company checks if the guest pass is validated or not. To validate, use the the Parking validation form and let the management know the guest number on the hang tag. Please make sure your license plate tags are not expired.
If you found a green sticker on your car, and still have questions, please read the Parking Policy Document in the documents section. If questions still exist, contact us using the contact form on the website. The green stickers are very sticky, but there is a trick to removing them cleanly. The magic is all in the razor blade.
New Parking Policy / Towing – All homeowners should have received a parking hangtag and a parking policy for our community. This was adopted by the board with the concerns of the homeowners with often full parking spots. Monitoring for hangtags will begin August 1, 2015, and warnings will be placed on cars. Effective August 15, 2015, towing will occur for unauthorized vehicles. See frequently asked questions about the new policy.
Sign the declarations consent form – The homeowners have received a copy of the new declarations that were drafted for the community. The new documents will save us money in the long run by potentially lowering our insurance premiums, which come out of our monthly statements. The rules require 67% of the community to sign the documents by the deadline of June 26th, 2015. If we don’t get needed signatures in time, we have to re-do the process and unfortunately it ends up with more costs. Please sign your consent form here.
Painting of Northwest Units – They are being painted according to plan. Other units will be painted throughout the next years as planned.
Our Board has drafted new governing documents for the community to alleviate costs and to update our current old documents. We as a community need to understand them, and cast votes. Please join your neighbors and the board in a meeting to answer any questions you have regarding the new documents.
When: Thursday, January 22nd, 2015
Where: SouthEast Christian Church
Time: 6:30pm – 8pm
