Why are the planned Association amenities not opening this summer?
The Board decided that The Commons will not be opening this summer to ensure the health and financial safety of residents and protect the Association from COVID related litigation.
- Construction and furnishing of the amenities were delayed due to State’s Stay At Home Order amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Despite the project appearing complete, there are still several processes occurring for the developer and Association to receive a Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Aurora.
- Upon discussing with the Board’s management and legal team, the Board determined that there was a significant financial risk that would directly impact resident assessments should a COVID-19 claim be made against the Association.
- Due to the COVID related safety concerns of staff and residents and the significant financial risk to the Association, the Board made the difficult decision not to open for the remainder of the pool season which would have ended Labor Day.
When will The Commons Clubhouse open?
The Commons Clubhouse was always scheduled to open when the community reaches around 500 homes sold and closed. Current projections predict this to be late 2021/2022, but this can change.
Will homeowners receive a reimbursement on their assessments since the amenities are not opening?
There is no plan to reimburse assessments. We are headed into budget season and the Board of Directors will be evaluating all 2020 financial information for the rest of the fiscal year and then will prepare the 2021 budget before making any decisions on assessments.
We understand the disappointment that you feel at this time. We want you to know we were really excited to open these amenities, and disappointed as well. We are currently working on programming and events for the remainder of the year that will provide connection opportunities while promoting physical distancing. Our number one priority is keeping our residents safe.
