The Board has working hard to make this new project a reality! The Board initially considered placement of signage at the southeast corner of Havana and Orchard (across from the fire station); however, the County would require a $10,000 fee just for the permit, so the emphasis has been on the main road in at Maplewood and Havana.
Some people have asked why CCVSHOA is pursuing this project, when there are so many other needs in the community such as covenant enforcement or other capital projects (e.g., bathrooms at Peakview Park). In an effort to improve the appearance of our neighborhood, CCVSHOA determined to present some examples of signage and explore feasibility of the project at its Pancake Breakfast. Resident response was generally positive, so the Board has continued to pursue information gathering and fundraising for the project. With regard to other capital projects, the CCV Park and Recreation District and/or Arapahoe County may be the appropriate entity to consult, as CCVSHOA does not have authority for these.

The preliminary informal polling from the Pancake breakfast and after was to gauge if there was sufficient interest in the project and to get people's feedback on some examples of potential signage. Our next steps will be to continue gathering information on the most cost effective means to do the project, share information and fund raising, potentially as part of an upcoming neighborhood social event. We also plan to hold a neighborhood meeting specifically for the entrance project, so residents can express their desires and concerns before an ultimate decision is made.
