HOT NEWS: If you plan a fall change to the external appearance of your property, you will have to submit your request on our new Easy HOA platform as we cannot accept any new Property Improvement Requests through HOA Guru after 12 August. If you are unsure how to access your account and submit your request, contact our new HOA Administrator, Marty White at (719) 216-4656.

POOL PARTY: Since Mother Nature did her best to keep us from getting together in July, we have made arrangements with the Foothills Swim and Racquet Club, 6955 Delmonico Drive, to host a social event for Discovery residents and their immediate families from 7:00-9:00 PM on Wednesday, 2 September. Details are available here. Members, please check your email inbox for an opportunity to RSVP for this fun event.

DUMPSTER DAZE:  Our Fall Dumpster Daze is now set. Mark your calendar for September 12 & 13 for your opportunity to clean out the basement, garage, shed or wherever else you find unwanted items that you just haven't gotten around to taking to ARC, Goodwill, ReStore or the Dump! While we can help you get rid of a lot of unwanted items, there are a few that either create volume problems for us or problems with our contractor. Please go here for more detailed information...you don't want to load up and then have to return home with your "stuff" just because you didn't take a couple of minutes to read ahead. 

You can drop off non-hazardous household waste (NO deposits before 8:00 AM or after 3:00 PM) at our dumpster in front of 7157 Wintery Loop.

NOTE: THIS SERVICE IS ALSO PROVIDED FOR OUR DISCOVERY HOA RESIDENTS ONLY! PLEASE DO NOT INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO ABUSE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

FIREWISE CHIPPING: Our second Firewise chipping event will be during the weeks of 28 September - 9  October.  Don't forget, YOU MUST REGISTER TO PARTICIPATE.  Details on the Firewise chipping program can be found here. 

GOOD NEWS: We have completed the bulk of our transition from HOA Guru to Easy HOA. The remainder of the transition is up to each of our homeowners. Each property has an account, but until the associated homeowner(s) "activate" their accounts, they will not be functional. Instructions for completing your profile and activating accounts can be found here. Until those steps are successfully completed, homeowners will not be able to submit Property Improvement Requests, pay dues online, or otherwise communicate with the HOA. Homeowners - PLEASE complete your Easy HOA profiles ASAP. 

WATERING RESTRICTIONS:  Watering restrictions went back into effect 1 May. Details of the water conservation program can be found here. 

LOCKING MAILBOXES: We have 8 more locking mailboxes for purchase at a discount and we do not anticipate continuing this program once those are gone. Contact our Administrator at (719) 964-4122 if you are interested.

FENCE POLICY: In the March 12, 2025 Discovery Homeowners Association (HOA) Board meeting, your board approved documentation of the Discovery HOA Fence Policy to address the evolving needs of our community while preserving its natural beauty and openness. Details of the approved policy can be found here.

SIDEWALK OBSTRUCTIONS: Some of our mature shrubs (particularly junipers and pines!) benefited greatly from our earlier wet weather and now extend over our sidewalks enough to interfere with clear passage.  Please trim them back to the edge of the sidewalk and up to at least 7 feet. City Ordinance 3.4.103 requires:  "Every owner and occupant of real property within the City shall keep the public sidewalks which abut or are adjacent to their real property, or public sidewalks located upon real property subject to a public easement or right of way, in a clean condition free from projections and obstructions across the surface, debris, litter, or dangerous conditions not involving the structural integrity of the sidewalk."  We will be surveying our Discovery sidewalks in the near future to identify properties that need to be reminded of this civic obligation.

Sheds!

We are aware of the presence of a few storage sheds in Discovery. Some were approved…and some “magically appeared.”  No further violations of ARC Approval will be permitted. Any future sheds discovered to have been constructed without ARC approval will be subject to relocation or removal at the owner's expense.  Please review the information on sheds in our FAQ area before you decide if you need a shed in your yard.
