How are the CC & R’s enforced?

The Meridian Ranch community is governed by Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC & R’s), which are enforced

by Design Review Councils, except for Stonebridge which are enforced by a homeowner’s association. The Design Review Councils are independent non-profit corporations and are funded by annual fees. The current annual fee for Design Review Council No. 1 and Design Review Council No. 2 is $90.00, which is paid by each homeowner. Your address determines which Design Review Council you are a part of.

While there is not a charge for original landscape design review, a nominal fee will be charged for subsequent design reviews to include playground equipment, storage facilities, change of paint color, etc.

Design Review Councils are managed by Warren Management Group. The phone number for Design Review Council No. 1 is 719.685.8727 and their website is www.meridianranchdrc.nabrnetwork.com. The phone number for Design Review Council No. 2 is 719.685.8728 and their website is meridianranchdrc2.nabrnetwork.com.

Why are non-residents allowed to participate in fee-based programs?

The neighborhood of Stonebridge within Meridian Ranch does have a Homeowner’s Association.

Please see the Stonebridge Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

Can Meridian Ranch residents use the Woodmen Hills recreation center, and vice versa?

The Antler Creek Golf Course is a privately owned and operated 18-hole golf course, built in conjunction with the Meridian Ranch community. Open daily to the public, the dunes style course offers from 5,393 to over 8,000 yards of play, a full service pro-shop and restaurant. For additional information on Antler Creek Golf Course and the CreekView Grill, visit www.AntlerCreekGolf.com or call 719.494.1900.

Allowing non-residents to participate in fee-based programs helps cover the costs associated with offering such programs and increases the number of participants which provides for a better experience for our residents (i.e., having enough participants to make sports teams). Residents are allowed to register for fee-based programs several weeks prior to non-residents. Additionally, non-residents are charged a higher fee than the resident rate.

Each recreation center is owned by a separate metropolitan district. Residents of each community pay the park and recreation fee to the district in which they reside. Therefore, they do not have resident privileges to use both facilities.

However, because Meridian Ranch and Woodmen Hills provide fee-based programs at both facilities, residents of both communities pay the resident price for these fee-based programs regardless of which recreation center is offering the program.
