April 17, 2025, CKHA received an electronic notice regarding a Variance - BOA (Board of Adjustment) Case Number 24-113107VC from Jefferson County for a home in Columbine Knolls  at TO ALLOW A HOME OCCUPATION FOR FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION SALES.

Columbine Knolls Covenant C-1 states no lot shall be used except for residential purposes. Columbine Knolls Homeowners Association was registered with the Secretary of State of Colorado as a nonprofit corporation on 2/20/1973.  CKHA and our Protective Covenants PRE-DATE the CCIOA law (July 1, 1992) therefore we are not a common interest CCIOA community.  Our Covenants supersede the Variance request, thus should be denied.

Next steps: 1. Attend the BOA Board meeting May 7, 9 a.m. at the Jeffco Court House.  We need as many people as possible to show up to voice our opinion to this Variance.

2.      Email Case Manager Alexander Fowlkes to voice your concerns on this matter.

afowlkes@jeffco.us    Again, many people need to email him!!!

Directions to the meeting room are:  When you walk into the Court house turn to the LEFT (do NOT go through security located at the right), go to the elevators, turn to the right, then walk down that hallway and the BOA Hearing Room is on  the left.  Remarks should be respectful, to the point, and no more than 2-3 minutes. 

                   Thank you for supporting our community.  The CKHA Board

    The Homeowners Association (HOA) does nothing for me so why should I join?  You may not know what the HOA does for you behind the scenes!  Every property in Columbine Knolls is governed by our Protective Covenants.  These Covenants were put into place when the neighborhood was being developed in the 1960’s.  The Covenants “run with the land” and apply to every property.  Realtors and homeowners alike know that Covenants protect property values!

When you decide to sell your property, the HOA answers Status Letters requested by the Title Company.  If realtors have questions they contact us. Recently we worked with a property that needed approval from the Architectural Control Committee and a variance from the County.  We have assisted homeowners with rodent issues.  When homeowners contact us, it is usually a time sensitive issue and they expect answers.  These, and many more issues are taken care of in a timely fashion behind the scenes.   

    Our $50 per year dues are minimal compared to many HOA communities.  Since Columbine Knolls does not have “common property” none of us pay to keep up grass, flowers, plantings, water, and electricity etc. that many communities pay monthly to maintain.  We do have nine entrances that volunteers keep up.  If you would like to volunteer to maintain an entrance, please contact us to volunteer!

    In the By Laws of the Columbine Knolls Homeowners Association, Board of Directors, Article 5 Section 1 - Number and Qualifications states: “The control and management of the Association and its affairs and property shall be entrusted to a Board of Nine (9) members, who shall elect from its members the President, Vice President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary and Treasurer of the Association. Two (2) of the voting Board members to be: the past President, if available, and the Editor of The Columbine Knolls Voice.”   Our Board of volunteers take their positions seriously to serve the community and uphold the Protective Covenants.  Many volunteers have gone before us, and we thank them for passing along a well kept and great neighborhood to live in!
