In some cases, repairs and/or replacement of lumber can be limited by landscape conditions in the homeowners yard. Homeowners are expected to create adequate access for repairs and/or maintenance. Fences which border the school properties (or any other property which is not owned or maintained by the Associations) are the responsibility of the lot owner to maintain. Lot line fencing between neighbors is the responsibility of those neighbors. Neither the Piney Creek Maintenance Association, Inc. or the Piney Creek Recreational Association, Inc. are aware of specific details regarding shared fencing between neighbors. Neighbors are encouraged to negotiate their responsibility for private lot line fencing amongst themselves.

For Piney Creek properties located north of Orchard Road:
The staining of visible fence surfaces is mandatory in The Meadows, Filing #8, and in the Glen Filing #13 per the protective covenants. Homeowners residing in the other sub-divisions are encouraged to stain their fences using the approved products. The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) does review the condition of private fences on an annual basis. Requests are made to homeowners to repair and stain their fences when these fences become unsightly. All fences must meet the standards for appearance in the neighborhood. If staining is required to do so, the ACC may require it.
The Board of Directors for the Piney Creek Maintenance and Recreational Associations has agreed to provide a small quantity of the approved Piney Creek fence stain to homeowners who need to stain over graffiti or replace/repair a small number of fence pickets on privately owned fences. They have also agreed to provide a limited number of fence pickets for repairs. The stain is available in one-quart containers and the limit is on-quart per homeowner. Pickets are limited to four (4) per homeowner. These supplies are free. You may arrange to pick up these supplies by contacting the community manager at 303-699-8069.
When do I have to file an Architectural Improvement Request Form with the Architectural Control Committee (ACC)? Any exterior alteration or addition to your house and/or landscape requires the submission of an Architectural Improvement Request Form to the Architectural Control Committee for Piney Creek (ACC). This includes the front, back and side yards. Note: Repainting or restaining your house, unless using the same exact colors for basic maintenance or touch up only, requires the submission of a request form and color chips (color samples) to the ACC. Forms may be obtained by calling the community manager at 303-699-8069 or you may print out the on-line version of the form by clicking here. You may access specific guidelines concerning ACC issues by clicking here.
How long does it take the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to review my request? The governing documents for Piney Creek allow the ACC 45 days to review your request, however, most requests are handled in 7 - 10
business days. The ACC does not wait for its monthly meeting to review requests. Requests are generally mailed to ACC members on the same business day that they are received in the clubhouse office. Incomplete
requests and requests that lack sufficient supporting documentation are returned to the homeowner, delaying the review process. Please read the instructions thoroughly.
Homeowners who proceed with their improvement without the approval of the ACC do so at their own risk.
Who should I call with my Architectural Control Committee (ACC) questions? The on-site community manager is the proper person to call when you have an ACC question. Please do not attempt to contact our volunteer ACC members. Requests and questions must be routed through the on-site community manager at 303-699-8069.

Please provide the exact location of the street light problem. Cross streets or street addresses are most helpful. In the event you are having problems getting a street light repaired, contact
the community manager at 303-699-8069.
Who performs street maintenance? Public streets in Piney Creek are maintained by the City of Centennial through Arapahoe County. This includes street maintenance, sidewalk repair/replacement and snow removal. The Road Maintenance Division of Public Works can be reached at 720-874-6820.
Can I install a satellite dish or cable TV? Yes you may install a satellite dish and/or cable TV per the provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Simply stated, homeowners are allowed to install a "dish" antenna that is one meter (39") or less in diameter and is designed to receive direct broadcast satellite service, including direct-to-home satellite service. Any satellite dishes and antennas over one meter (39") are not covered by the Act and are therefore still prohibited in Piney Creek. The Act and Rules permit some regulation by the Association, such as the means, method and location of the dish or antenna installation, as long as no "unreasonable" delay or cost is involved. The Association can still require compliance with building codes, unobtrusive placement, painting, camouflage and other reasonable measures to ensure the safety of the installation and minimize the visual effect on the community. Residents are requested to be sensitive to their neighbors and work with the installers to choose an aesthetically pleasing location so that property values are not adversely affected. Homeowners are asked to hide coaxial cable behind brick, wood trim, gutters, downspouts, landscaping, etc. so that the least amount of cable is visible to neighbors and drive-by traffic. You do not have to make application with the Architectural Control Committee for Piney Creek (ACC) in order to install a satellite "dish" antenna that is one meter (39") or less in diameter.
Why do solicitors show up at my door when Piney Creek is clearly marked "NO SOLICITING"? Piney Creek is constantly targeted by door-to-door solicitors. Although Piney Creek is posted with "NO SOLICITING" signs, the Sheriff has informed us that there is no ordinance within Arapahoe County that allows the Sheriff to enforce our "NO SOLICITING" signs. There are laws about criminal trespass and harassment that allow private homeowners to file complaints against individuals and the companies they represent. If you are having a problem with a solicitor or door-to-door sales person, please call the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office at 303-795-4710. The best advice from the Sheriff's Office is to avoid the solicitor by refusing to open your door to a person you do not know or recognize.
Who do I contact regarding a neighborhood pet problem? Piney Creek continually receives complaints about pets running loose or pets making excessive noise. If a pet is causing a persistent problem, you may contact the City of Centennial, Arapahoe County Animal Control at 720-874-6750.
