SEVENTH: This Road and Recreation Association is established for the purpose

"common facilities"), in the Glacier View Meadows Subdivisions. Said association
shall perform said function in all subdivisions hereinafter designated as a Glacier View
Meadows Subdivision; and which subdivisions adopt and incorporate this association into
its covenants as recorded with the Clerk and Recorder of Larimer County, Colorado.
The rules and regulations of the County of Larimer at the time of the establishment
of this association require the following:
In the event that this association shall fail to maintain the common facilities in
a reasonable order and condition and in accordance with the original plan submitted with
the final subdivision plat, the Board of County Commissioners for Larimer County may serve
written notice upon this organization or upon the residents of this subdivision involved,
setting forth a manner in which the association has failed to maintain the facility in a
reasonable condition, and said notice shall include a demand that such deficiencies of
maintenance be cured within 30 days thereof and shall state the date and place of a
hearing thereon, which shall be held within 14 days of said notice. At such hearing, the
county may modify the terms of its original notice as to the deficiency, and may give an
extension of time within which they shall be cured. If the deficiencies set forth in the
original notice or in the modification thereof are not cured within said 30 days or any
extension thereof, the county in order to preserve the taxable values of the property
contained within the subdivision, and to prevent the common facilities from becoming a
public nuisance and public liability, may undertake to maintain the same for a period of a
year. Before the expiration of said year, the county, upon its initiative or upon the
written request of the association theretofore responsible for the maintenance of the
common facility, may call a public hearing upon notice to such association and to the
residents of the subdivision involved, to be held by the Board of County Commissioners, at
which hearing such association or the residents of the subdivision shall show cause why
such maintenance by the county shall not, at the election of the county, continue for a
succeeding year. If the Board of County Commissioners shall determine that such
association is ready and able to maintain said common facility in a reasonable condition,
the county shall cease to maintain said common facility at the end of said year. If the
Board of County Commissioners shall determine such organization is not ready and able to
maintain such common facility in a reasonable condition, the county may, in its
discretion, continue to maintain said facility during the next succeeding year subject to
a similar hearing and determination in each year thereafter.
The cost of such maintenance by the county shall be paid by the owners of the
properties within the subdivision that have a right to enjoyment or use of the common
facility involved, and any unpaid assessment shall become a tax lien upon said property.
The county shall file a notice of such lien in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder
upon the property affected by such lien within the subdivision, and shall certify such
unpaid assessments to the County Treasurer for collection, enforcement and remittance in
the manner provided by law for the collection, enforcement and remittance of general
property taxes.
This association shall provide for:
1. Adequate funding and means of
enforcement;
2. Continuous safety inspections and
immediate follow-up maintenance to correct unsafe conditions;
3. The receiving and processing of
complaints;
4. Regular maintenance program where
required for roads, parks, buildings and other mutually owned facilities.
This association, not withstanding the provisions of any covenant of Glacier View Meadows
Subdivision or any other provision of these articles of incorporation, or of the bylaws of
this association may not be dissolved without the prior permission of the Board of County
Commissioners.
