SOME ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND

The Governing Document Committee, made up of volunteer Glenshire Residents, took on the challenge of improving the CC&Rs and Bylaws that were put up for vote last year. The committee’s goal was to reduce some restrictions, clarify wording, and help members retain the ability to utilize their properties in a manner that maintains the current look and feel of Glenshire/Devonshire. A few key highlights:

Vehicles: Language was clarified to ensure the right to store boats, RVs, vans, trailers, etc. as defined by the documents without seeking approval.

Businesses: Many of our members rely on their home-based businesses in Glenshire. The revised documents expressly allow business owners to have a small business headquartered at their home as long as they don’t present a nuisance.

Design Review: We aimed to simplify the design review process and established the right of members to proceed with improvements in the event of a non-responsive Design Review Committee. This revised language in the CC&Rs will allow further simplification in the GDRA Rules document (the next document to be reviewed and revised).

And More…:  We made many other changes to better align with the expressed needs of our community. Please take the time to review the documents thoroughly! We are here to assist if you would like to dive deep with us. You can request a meeting with one of our committee members through the feedback form here or by emailing us at govdocs@glenshiredevonshire.com.

In summary, this Committee has helped the Board prepare a final draft document that reduces unnecessary restrictions on its members while also bringing our HOA into compliance with current regulations.  These draft documents are posted and have been distributed to our Members in April 2023 for their review. GDRA urges all Members to review, ask questions, and share your feedback. The Board will then review input and changes that can be accepted or modified by the Board at the June 2023 Board meeting. The final CC&Rs and Bylaws will then be posted and go out for Member election. We encourage all members to take advantage of opportunities to discuss and ask questions at review meetings before the documents are finalized and put to vote!
