From the Design Review Committee (DRC) Regarding Hail Damage Requests
On September 3rd, many TrailMark homes sustained significant hail damage. To assist homeowners with needed hail damage repairs, the Design Review Committee (DRC) published and committed to review hail damage requests on an out-of-cycle basis. This allowed homeowners to quickly schedule repairs to roofs, fences, paint, siding, windows, etc. Almost four (4) months later, the DRC has conducted approximately 280 out-of-cycle reviews for hail damages.
Since the emergency nature of these requests has long passed, effective immediately, all hail damage requests will be placed in the normal DRC review queue, and will be reviewed during the normal DRC weeks - 1st and 3rd week of every month. Requests must be received not later than 12:00 noon, Friday prior to the scheduled DRC review. This allows DRC members to review the requests to ensure all required documentation and information is present to allow a speedy review. Required forms may be obtained from the HOA website at HOA Documents & Forms at https://www.trailmark.org/hoa-documents-amp-forms.html
Please send all DRC requests to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org. Given the current transition to a new management company, and to ensure timely review, please send requests to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org, not to the management company.

Send to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.
DRC requests for additional project information and/or re-submitted denied requests will be reviewed during a following, normal review session. To ensure that your requests receive timely review, include required project information submission early in your project planning.
As always, valid emergency requests are reviewed as needed; such as recent hail storm damage home repair requests. Since the hail storm in early September, the DRC has reviewed 169 requests on an emergency basis due to hail damage. Note that some requests required multiple reviews because of insufficient information so the application needed to be returned to the homeowner and reviewed again once the required information was provided by the homeowner. Please be sure to provide all information required which includes a yard access form if your property borders open space. Even if the homeowner is not planning on accessing the open space their property borders for their project, a Yard Access Form must be completed and signed. The homeowner will simply note on the yard access form whether or not the open space will be accessed for the project.
Thank you for your patience as the committee continues to meet two times each month to review regular home improvement requests and receives multiple emergency hail damage requests on a daily basis.

From the HOA Board President regarding new Roofs
On behalf of the HOA Board and the many homeowners whose homes sustained damage during the September 3rd hail storm, our grateful thanks to the Design Review Committee and management company for their extraordinary effort completing in excess of 170 damage reviews since about September 16th. To assist our homeowners, the DRC announced that they would review these many requests out-of-cycle, and in doing so, expedited the ordering of materials and scheduling repair work. This monumental effort involved many personal phone calls and emails, and required many, many additional hours to accomplish. Their effort is greatly appreciated by the Board and our many homeowners. Thanks for a job well done!!!

Regarding the recent Storm Damage
From your Design Review Committee (DRC):
TrailMark experienced an intense hail storm on Friday, September 3rd. Many houses sustained damage and are expecting to require roof and/or solar replacements and repairs, and other more minor repairs. To assist homeowners, the Design Review Committee would like to offer assistance to help move the process forward, and minimize delays.
• Per our CCRs, yes, you must submit a request to the DRC for a roof / solar replacement or repair.
• What documents are needed?
1. Home Improvement Request Form
- Provide the shingle manufacturer, shingle style (i.e., asphalt…), type (i.e., three tab),
and color.
- Provide a manufacturer brochure and indicate shingle and color selection.
2. IF you live on open space – Home Improvement Yard Access Form
3. IF you need solar system replacement/repair - TrailMark Solar Device Checklist
• REMINDER:
- All required City of Littleton building permits must be obtained.
- Flashing, roof jacks, conduit, radon piping, vents, and chimneys must be painted the
color of the surface upon which they rest.
Due to short timelines to get these replacements/repairs completed, the DRC will review roof & solar projects out-of-cycle, meaning that the homeowners will not have to wait until the next scheduled DRC meeting. The DRC will strive to review requests within 48 hours of receipt by the DRC.
To ensure expeditious review, please ensure that all required documents are included so the request may be reviewed without delay. Send your request to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.

New List of Routine Home Maintenance / Repairs not requiring DRC Review
The Design Review Committee (DRC) continually seeks to streamline the review process for proposed home improvement projects. Thus, the DRC developed a list of routine maintenance and repair items for which a homeowner is not required to submit a request review to the DRC. The parameters established in the attached document must be met before determining that the submittal of the standard Home Improvement Request Form is not required.
Additional items may be added to this list from time to time. The most current list will be posted on the HOA website under Documents & Forms at HOA Documents & Forms - TrailMark. Homeowners are responsible for reviewing this list as they plan maintenance and repairs, to ensure that they do not violate the parameters documented in our community covenants whereby project review is required.

From the DRC
(Design Review Committee)
In March the Design Review Committee reviewed 20 requests, a total of 41 for 2021 thus far.
The DRC’s vision and philosophy is to encourage consistent design expression while allowing homeowners individual expression when making home improvements.
When the DRC reviews home improvement requests, the committee must consider the impact the proposed change will have on the community as a whole and determine whether the change compliments and continues to blend with the community’s natural surroundings and maintains a cohesive, attractive appearance, as outlined by Shea in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR’s).
When we drive, walk and bike through TrailMark and we see spectacular views and houses and yards that compliment the community and the natural surroundings, we are seeing that the Design Review Committee is following the vision set forth in the TrailMark CCR’s.
The DRC continues with the development of a swimming pool standard and a standard for minor repairs not requiring DRC approval.

From the DRC: Exterior Home Projects from Proposals to Approvals
Spring is around the corner! Hooray! If you anticipate spring, summer or fall exterior home projects, now is the perfect time to put those plans and your request together and submitted to the Design Review Committee (DRC) – painting/staining, roofing, landscaping, windows, decks/patios, fences, driveways, etc. ALL project forms and documents completely describing your project must be submitted to the DRC.
The DRC reviews project proposals the 1st and 3rd week of every month. We highly recommend that you submit your Homeowner Request Forms and all relevant documents to the management company to ensure that your project gets the required review and approval, to allow you to stay on your project schedule.
Documents must be submitted to the management company the Friday prior to the 1st and 3rd week reviews. Send all documentation to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.
Find the required forms, guidance, and contact information on the HOA website: https://www.trailmark.org/hoa-documents-amp-forms.html
TrailMark’s planning and design philosophy is to maintain a consistent, quality design expression, maintaining the original high prairie and foothills environment, in design and color. By adhering to this philosophy, your request will receive an expeditious review.
Home Painting: For those planning exterior home painting, TrailMark has paint sample books with forty-nine (49) approved paint schemes. Contact the management company at designreview@trailmarkhoa.org to review our paint scheme sample books. TrailMark’s paint schemes are centered on earth tones. As a point of clarification, you must submit the Homeowner Request Form and identify the paint scheme you have selected prior to initiation of your paint project. If you wish to create your own paint scheme you must submit paint chips obtained from paint stores. Copies of paint chips are not accepted because of color distortion.
Worth Repeating: The DRC reviews homeowner requests the 1st & 3rd week of each month. Please ensure that your request is received by the management company the Friday prior to the DRC review week, so your complete request can be reviewed without delay. If you have any questions, please send them to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.
The DRC reviewed 13 homeowner requests during the month of February. 11 requests were approved while 1 was not approved and 1 request, which had multiple projects listed, was partially approved. 1 homeowner request required a DRC member to visit the homeowner to gather additional information and see the proposed site, prior to approval.
In addition to holding two DRC meetings to review homeowner requests that were submitted during the month of February, the DRC held a Zoom meeting for the purpose of sharing information about the committee with TrailMark homeowners. The DRC shared information about the DRC's philosophy and goals, the DRC process, current initiatives, future endeavors, and several other topics. In addition, during the Zoom meeting, the DRC addressed questions that were emailed to the committee prior to the meeting. Thank you to those that were able to attend and as always, if you have any questions please send an email to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.

What’s the DRC up to?
Check the newsletter each month to see how the DRC (Design Review Committee) is updating our design guidelines to address the aging of the neighborhood. After receiving requests from residents for a paver option on their driveway, the DRC created an updated guideline to include some paver options for driveways in addition to the standard concrete driveways. Paver driveways will incorporate into the neighborhood by keeping the original grey color scheme as well as a simple design of either a basket weave, or running bond. Read the complete guideline here: https://www.trailmark.org/uploads/3/9/0/8/39089355/driveway_install-replace_std.pdf

What’s the DRC up to?
Check the newsletter each month to see how the DRC is updating our design guidelines to address the aging of the neighborhood.
With this cold weather, you might be considering replacing your front door or installing a storm door. This is a great time to check out the updated styles that have been approved for both types of doors. A selection of front doors with windows have been included as well as a variety of storm doors. Check out the complete update here.
The Design Review Committee reviewed 5 home improvement request forms during the month of December. This month’s lull in homeowner applications offered the committee the perfect time to put the last finishing touches on swimming pool standards which will be presented to the HOA Board. The DRC also used this opportunity to continue in the development of a list of minor repairs to the exterior of our homes which will not require DRC approval. The committee foresees this list being available to the public in the near future.

The Design Review Committee reviewed 5 home improvement request forms during the month of December. This month’s lull in homeowner applications offered the committee the perfect time to put the last finishing touches on swimming pool standards which will be presented to the HOA Board. The DRC also used this opportunity to continue in the development of a list of minor repairs to the exterior of our homes which will not require DRC approval. The committee foresees this list being available to the public in the near future.

What’s the DRC up to?
Check the newsletter each month to see how the Design Review Committee is updating our design guidelines to address the maturing of the neighborhood.
The DRC has recently had several requests for additional signage of address on homes and properties. Two sets of house address numbers are permitted on each lot with only one being on the residence itself. It is recommended that the house number be placed either above the garage door, or to the side of the garage door closest to the front door. Numbers should be no larger than 7 inches in height. If placing address on stone, you should use a plaque with a contrasting background for ease in reading.
The DRC received 8 applications from homeowners during the month of November. Seven were approved and one was sent back to the homeowner noting that DRC approval is not required for putting up holiday lights.
The DRC continues their discussion regarding swimming pool standards and the defining of minor repairs that may not require DRC approval.

Fall Winterization
Fall is here and many homeowners are preparing to paint their fences. In response to one homeowner’s inquiry, below is the Sherwin Williams paint formula for TrailMark perimeter fences (not wing fences). Homeowners may paint all fences except the wing fences the same color as the open space fences. Homeowners on open space are responsible for painting only the inside of the fence.
Those planning to update their wing and/or perimeter fences (fences between properties) with stain, the TrailMark approved options are:
SW3504 Woodridge SW3522 Banyan Brown

The natural, untreated finish is no longer an approved fencing option. It has been determined that the long-term wear and tear of this option does not provide an attractive appearance.

Homeowners, please take note
The policy regarding fines for completing exterior work without DRC approval is changing. After much discussion and consideration of comments received from homeowners, the board has voted to increase the fine if DRC approval is not obtained prior to a project starting on the exterior of a home. The fine will now be $250. If you follow the process and obtain DRC approval, this fine is not an issue. The intent is to ensure the people are following the rules of the HOA and obtaining approval. Please note this policy change will go into effect May 1, 2020. If you have a question about whether or not your work needs approval, the best course of action is to ask.
KINDLY NOTE: If you have any questions about whether or not your work needs approval, or about a violation notice, the best course of action is to immediately communicate/ask.

Proposed change to Enforcement Policy regarding exterior work to all TrailMark homes and properties
The HOA would like to remind everyone about the importance of submitting applications for all exterior work planned for your home. The Design Review Committee works hard to ensure that the integrity and design of the homes are upheld and that all of our Residents have a clear path to getting their home/ property improvement projects accomplished. Because of this commitment to ensuring every homeowner follows the governing documents, which you agreed to when you purchased your home, the HOA Board is discussing a change to the enforcement policy. The proposed policy will be discussed at the next Board meeting. The policy change would increase the fine for those homeowners who do not submit for DRC approval prior to initiating exterior work on their home and property. This includes painting, fences, doors, windows, decks, driveways, landscape work, etc. The current fine is $50. This does not seem to be a strong enough fine because many homeowners continue to ignore the HOA rules and complete exterior work as they wish, resulting in improvements that do not comply with current policy and standards, and in some cases, requires the improvement be re-done. Therefore, the proposed fine is $250. Regardless of the work being done, if work is completed without a Home Improvement Request and subsequent DRC approval, the new fine could be $250. It is important to get approval, and it is important to recognize the rules of the HOA for the community in which you live!

Wing and Lot/Perimeter Fence Maintenance

Please, take time to check your fencing and where re-staining, re-painting, repairing, or replacing in necessary – please - take action. Remember that these repairs require DRC review prior to project initiation.
In the best interests of TrailMark’s aesthetic beauty, natural, untreated fencing is no longer an acceptable option given its dowdy appearance from irrigation splash and age.

Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Semi-Transparent Stain - Slight pigmentation for increased protection
◦ SW 3504 Woodridge
◦ SW 3522 Banyan Brown
◦ Custom Match #7170-0115255 (same as HOA perimeter fencing)
TREX Fencing: The DRC is developing the TrailMark standard for the use of TREX fencing material for homeowner responsible fences. TREX is an approved material for wing fences and lot/perimeter fences. To blend with existing community TREX fencing and the approved stains and solid paint options (above), SADDLE is the only TREX color allowed. DRC review and approval is required prior to project initiation.
The DRC reviews requests the 1st and 3rd week of every month. To ensure your request receives timely review, please submit required forms and all relevant project information by the Friday prior to the DRC review weeks.

Wing and Lot/Perimeter Fence Maintenance
The new privacy fences along TrailMark Parkway and Independence Street provide a clean, well-kept view of TrailMark. However, with a drive around the community the view is quickly marred by fences blackened, multicolored from previous repairs, and/or strapped together where pickets need to be replaced or repaired. Please, take the time to look around your property and where fencing needs to be re-stained, re-painted, repaired, or replaced – please - take action.
In the best interests of TrailMark’s aesthetic beauty, natural, untreated fencing is no longer an acceptable option given its appearance over time from irrigation splash and age. The following stains and solid paint are acceptable:
Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Semi-Transparent Stain - Slight pigmentation for increased protection
◦ SW3504 Woodridge
◦ W3522 Banyan Brown
◦ Custom Match #7170-0115255 (same as HOA perimeter fencing)

Fence Painting: The HOA has expanded the options for fences that are the homeowner’s responsibility –
a. Wing fences: Fences installed on both sides of the house, facing the street.
b. Perimeter fences: Fences following the property lines that divide properties. These generally run from the wing fence down the sides of the property and across the back of the lot. Not all properties have side fences.
c. Open space fences: Fences placed along designated open space. Only the inner side of these fences is the responsibility of the homeowner. The HOA maintains the side facing the open space.
TrailMark Design Guidelines, paragraph C. 8. Fencing, TrailMark Fences specifies the approved options for wood fences:
Over time we have learned that the “untreated” option is no longer the attractive option it once was therefore we have moved away from the option. We encourage homeowners to select another approved color option. With this in mind, the HOA has approved the following additional fence options (Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Semi-Transparent Stain or similar product, which provides increased wood protection):

Home Painting: For those planning on external painting of your home, TrailMark has paint sample books with approved paint combinations. Contact the management company at designreview@trailmarkhoa.org to review these paint books. In accordance with TrailMark’s design philosophy, TrailMark’s paint schemes are centered on brown earth tones. To allow individuality, complimentary accent colors for front doors, shutters, porch railings, etc. are considered.
Fence Painting: The HOA has expanded the options for fences that are the homeowner’s responsibility –
a. Wing fences: Fences installed on both sides of the house, facing the street.
b. Perimeter fences: Fences following the property lines that divide properties. These generally run from the wing fence down the sides of the property and across the back of the lot. Not all properties have side fences.
c. Open space fences: Fences placed along designated open space. Only the inner side of these fences is the responsibility of the homeowner. The HOA maintains the side facing the open space.
TrailMark Design Guidelines, paragraph C. 8. Fencing, TrailMark Fences specifies the approved options for wood fences:
- Natural, untreated finish
- A clear, waterproof sealant
- TrailMark Fence-Fawn (Sherwin Williams)
Over time we have learned that the “untreated” option is no longer the attractive option it once was therefore we have moved away from the option. We encourage homeowners to select another approved color option. With this in mind, the HOA has approved the following additional fence options (Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Semi-Transparent Stain or similar product, which provides increased wood protection):
- SW3504 Woodridge
- SW3513 Spice Chest
- SW3508 Covered Bridge
- SW3522 Banyan Brown
Sherwin Williams Account: To assist homeowners, the HOA Board established a TrailMark Sherwin Williams account that provides a discount on Sherwin Williams paint and stain products. It is a cash account so either pay for the paint/stain or have your contractor do so. Generally, the discount is 15% depending on the product(s) purchased. Identify yourself as a TrailMark resident and provide the account number: 230805194. If the Sherwin Williams store you are using does not register this account number, they should call 303-932-1352 to confirm the account.
Landscaping, Fences Replacement, Garage Doors and other projects: Your best bet is to review the TrailMark Design Guidelines during your project planning phase to ensure that your project meets the guidelines. Deviation from the guidance may delay the review of your project simply to allow for research.
Project Reviews: For expeditious review of your project, submit all materials to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org. For additional information and forms, go to the HOA website at http://www.trailmark.org/hoa-documents-amp-forms.html.
The DRC reviews requests the 1st & 3rd week of each month. Please ensure that your request is sent in not later than the Friday prior to the DRC review week, to ensure your request is complete and can be reviewed without delay. If you have any questions, please send them to designreview@trailmarkhoa.org.

Exterior House Painting
As reported during the November Annual Meeting, it has been noted during the community compliance inspections that many homes are in need of total or partial painting. To assist homeowners with planning for this project, you are reminded that paint sample books showing all pre-approved color combinations are available for your review. Contact our Community Manager at designreview@trailmarkhoa.org who will make arrangements to get the books.
Paint Books: The paint books contain paint chips showing the original paint color schemes (KWAL brand) for the houses in TrailMark. KWAL was bought out by Sherwin Williams, so you can take the paint samples to Sherwin Williams (or any other paint company) to get the desired colors scanned to arrive at the correct color formula. Regardless of the series your home is (600, 500, 400), you may select any of the forty-one color combinations in these books. The home must be painted exactly as indicated in the combination as to where a specific color is to be applied. To change the placement of a specific color requires identifying exactly what color goes where.
If a homeowner chooses a color combination from the TrailMark sample books and must get the paint chips scanned, paint chips are not required to accompany your paint request because the resulting paint color is not a standard paint color therefore paint chips are not available. However, on your request you must state that you are getting your selected colors scanned to arrive at the exact color as in the paint sample book.
Sherwin Williams Account: The HOA Board established a TrailMark Sherwin Williams account that will allow TrailMark residents to receive a discount on Sherwin Williams paint and stain products. This is a cash account so you may either pay for the paint or have your contractor do so. Generally, this account provides a 15% discount, depending on the product(s) being purchased. Identify yourself as a TrailMark resident and provide the following account number: 230805194. If for some reason the Sherwin Williams store you are using does not register this account number, they should call 303-932-1352 to confirm the account.
Something Different? If you wish to change from an approved color combination (those in the books), you must submit the proposed paint color name, paint “chips”/samples and the proposed location for each color (siding, trim, shutters, front door, garage door, etc.), for the DRC’s consideration. Because of color discrepancies between actual paint chips and copies (Xerox) of paint chips, copies are not acceptable when submitting your request to the DRC. Please be aware that generally, TrailMark’s paint scheme is brown, earth tones. To allow individuality, complimentary accent colors for front doors, shutters, porch railings, etc. are considered. Take a look around the community to see if you see something you like.
Lastly, per Article 4 of our Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for TrailMark, approval is required for any property improvement. So, yes, even if you are painting your house the existing colors, you are required to submit a Home Improvement Request Form to the DRC prior to initiation of painting.

Maintaining Fences
The Design Review Committee (DRC), reminds homeowners that maintenance of several fence types in TrailMark are the responsibility of the homeowner. TrailMark fences include:
Wing fences: Fences installed on both sides of the house, facing the street. Homeowner responsible.
Perimeter fences: Fences following the property lines that divide properties. These generally run from the wing fence down the sides of the property and across the back of the lot. Not all properties have side fences. In general, these fences are the responsibility of the homeowner(s).
Open space fences: Fences placed along designated open space. Only the inner side of these fences is the responsibility of the homeowner. The HOA maintains the side facing the open space.
TrailMark Design Guidelines, paragraph C. 8. Fencing, TrailMark Fence specifies that the approved options available for the finish of wood fences are as follows:
- Natural, untreated finish
- A clear, waterproof sealant
- Maxum Formula 2 (Fawn M-2030) This is a KWAL Color which was replaced by Sherwin Williams.
While the intent of these options was made in the best interests of TrailMark’s aesthetic beauty, it is apparent that the natural, untreated finish is no longer the attractive option it once was, given black staining and water marks. Therefore, TrailMark is moving away from this option and is encouraging homeowners to select an approved color option.
The clear, waterproof sealant protects the wood for a period of time but generally does not provide UV protection, or the UV protection is minimal, requiring more frequent maintenance. Homeowners who selected this option are encouraged to select an approved color option in order to reduce the maintenance requirement.
Expanded Approved Fence Colors:
Sherwin Williams WoodScapes Semi-Transparent Stain - Slight pigmentation for increased protection
· SW3504 Woodridge
· SW3513 Spice Chest
· SW3508 Covered Bridge
· SW3522 Banyan Brown

TrailMark Exterior Projects
Homeowners:
Before long, spring will be upon us so now is the time to start thinking about projects external to your home – painting, roofing, landscaping, windows, decks/patios, etc. Spring is the busiest time for the DRC to review requests. To ensure that you get the necessary approvals to commence project work, the DRC recommends that you start your planning now and get your request submitted as soon as possible.
Go to the TrailMark website to get your forms, review the guidelines and procedures, and other information: http://www.trailmark.org/hoa-documents-amp-forms.html
PAINTING:
REMINDER: Several homeowners received notices last year for exterior painting. The due date for completion of these projects is generally spring 2017. If you have not received approval for your color selection, get your request submitted now to enable you to meet the spring deadline.
Covenant control is on-going and exterior painting will be noted. Get ahead of the game and get your colors selected and a request submitted for review.
The DRC has paint books available that detail TrailMark’s original color combinations. Contact the management company to request the paint books.
The Board has established a TrailMark Sherwin Williams account allowing residents to receive a paint and stain product discount. Generally, the discount is 15% depending on the product purchased. Identify yourself as a TrailMark resident and provide the following account number: 230805194. If the Sherwin Williams store you are using does not register this account number, they should call 303-932-1352 to confirm the account.
Regardless of whether one selects an approved paint combination or creates a unique combination, ALL exterior painting projects require Design Review Committee approval prior to the start of painting.
CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS / WALKWAYS / AND PORCHES:
Many concrete surfaces throughout the community are in need of repair and/or replacement due to:
Spalling - surface failing in which the concrete is flaked or pitted.
Sagging and/or cracking.
Repair and/or replacement of these surfaces may be required for safety and aesthetic reasons, and can be expensive. We advise homeowners to look at these surfaces and take action where required.
REMINDER: It is the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain sidewalks and curbs adjacent to one’s property.
