 This site is hosted by our Sage Port #2 ACC Officers, as appointed under the provisions of our Covenants, and recorded with Douglas County, in compliance with the legal requirements of our original and still current 1971 Covenants

Our Sage Port #2 ACC is the only regulatory body for our Subdivision - we have no regulatory HOA

This Website will attempt to provide advice, history and clarity to the ongoing issues in our community. 

 

While our primary focus and Covenant responsibilities are related to Architectural issues, we have had to also address and inform our owners about ongoing activities that could well impact our quality of life, use of your property and property values in general.

 

Unfortunately, a lot of disruptive disinformation and actions are being carried out by a so-called "Sage Port HOA". This is just a small private CO Corporation operating in the general Sage Port area with a core of 3 or so community control activists that has dedicated the last 20+ years attempting (and failing) at somehow establishing their group with an 100% legal, financial, regulatory and enforcement control over our 240 owners. This Colorado Corp, billing owners for "HOA Dues", is not established or even recognized under our Covenants and has no legal, regulatory or Covenant authority, of any kind, over our owners.  Our SP #2 owners are not required to pay any Dues, Fees, Assessments of any kind

Our community is governed by a legal civil contract which is part of your deed and binding on all owners, our Protective Covenants . This document, just extended to 2026, clearly spells out the rights, restrictions and obligation of our home owners.   We feel that by presenting the facts and easy access to all the legal documents surrounding our Protective Covenants we can help cut through all the misdirection, confusion and ongoing disruption being created. 

 

As your Covenants ACC Officers we are 100% committed to protecting the property values and rights of our owners.

 

Latest News - Items - Issues

Fall 2023

We are pleased to announce an addition to our Sage Port #2 ACC, William Smallwood, a 20+ year resident of Sage Port #2 who has been very active over the years in support of our individual and collective property rights. He has accepted our offer to fill an opening created when Dennis Nuttal resigned due to his moving out of our community after several years service. 

Our Covenants ACC - which is the only regulatory body for Sage Port #2 - is allowed to have up to 3 officers, these positions can be held for life, which provides stability to the community.  While there has been little building over the last few year, we are now seeing an increase in new homes and it is necessary we have a full committee to address building and general Covenant issues.

 

This new appointment was recorded and filed with the Douglas County Clerk and Recorder on Oct 12th as an update to the section in our Protective Covenants that specifically lists who our current ACC officers are.

It has now been updated to reflect this change - This is the current Legal Record - and this section now reads.

ARCHTTECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE: MEMBERSHIP. The Architectural Control Committee is composed of Wilfred Magnan, George Parsons, and William Smallwood

 

It is important to note in response to claims "that anyone can file a document" while true - however -  if we did not have the authority or if we filed false information with the County we would be in violation of Colorado Statute 18𤂿14 - Offering a False Instrument for Recording. Doing so, especially one that relates to Real Property such as our Covenants is a Felony punishable by up to 3 years in Prison

Given the seriousness of these filings, any impropriety would be quickly addressed by our County DA. However, in the 50+ years our ACC has been filling updates to our membership (this is the 6th) we have yet to hear from the DA of any violations of any kind. This should hopefully put an end to the ongoing claims made by Mark Hesse and his Private "HOA" Corp that our ACC officers are not valid. 

 

 Spring - Summer 2022 - New Owner Information & History  for owners since 2016

Winter 2020

No new Subdivisions off Tenderfoot!

We have gotten a number of calls from owners rightly concerned about the 22-acre lot East of Tenderfoot that was just sold. Owners are worried about what was going into that area. Well the good news is that the lot is part of the Sage Port #2 subdivision and is bound by the restrictions in our Covenants. There can be no expansion of the Jellystone Camper Park nor can any other such development take place. In researching the sale we were able to confirm that the lot is restricted to only one home and outbuildings plus it cannot be subdivided, so not only will this provide a nice permanent buffer to the East, it will also have no negative impact to owners in that area.
 

Summer 2018

 

We are pleased to announce an addition to our Sage Port #2 ACC, George Parsons, a new member of our community has accepted our offer to fill our last opening on the Committee.

Our Covenants ACC is allowed to have up to 3 officers, these positions can be held for life, which provides stability to the community.  While there has been little building over the last few year, we are now seeing an increase in new homes and we felt we needed a final member who could provide us with expert advice on the more complex issues around new construction.

We are extremely fortunate that George was willing to accept our open position. His building background goes back decades, currently he is the principle of Park Vista Builders in Colorado Springs which specializes in custom Commercial and Residential homes.  As builder who has seen and worked in communities all across the Front Range he and his wife specifically selected Sage Port #2 as the ideal location to build their retirement home! A welcome addition to our community and ACC.

 

Building Permits

Before starting any new projects, it is important you contact us first for a review and approval! The Building Dept will not issue a permit without our ACC approval. For simple items like deck repairs the issue can normally be covered by a phone call or email. Another positive action, while not required, should still be done. Talk to your neighbors about your project, especially if you will be having work crews over. This is just a common courtesy we should all extend to each other. 
 

Important Legal Information for New & Current Owners

All owners need to be aware of the restrictions and bindings on your property deeds as stipulated by our Protective Covenants, which is a legal contract between our owners which establishes the regulation and governance of our community.

We are fortunate and somewhat unique in that Sage Port #2 unlike most communities in CO has NO regulatory HOA under our Covenants (just extended to 2026) nor is required to have one under Colorado Law!  Our Covenants only establish an ACC which is the only regulatory authority over Sage Port #2 home owners.

Sage Port #2 has been and continues to be 100% HOA Free for over half a Century!

Unfortunately, we have a small private so-called, Sage Port HOA group that has been contacting new owners and applicants for building permits under their so called "HOA" Banner. If you should be contacted by a Mary Horwitz or a Mark Hesse, who have been representing themselves as ACC approver for this "HOA" group, or any other members of the so-called Sage Port HOA (actually some are not even Sage Port #2 owners), please be aware that they have absolutely NO regulatory or ACC authority under our Covenants, they are not even recognized as a community group under our Covenants, or under Douglas County or CO Law! 

You have no obligation to provide them plans, information or even talk to them!

If you are being harassed by them please contact us at once!

 Our current Covenants ACC Officers and Building Permit approvers as recorded with Douglas County are:

Wilfred Magnan - George Parsons - William Smallwood

NOTE: You can Click on the above names to see a copy of their Covenants Appointment and the Recording of our Covenants named officers with Douglas County providing the current legal record.

As owners we all have a stake in protecting and maintaining our property rights, home values and quality of life by being informed and aware of individuals and groups actively attempting to unilaterally grant themselves regulatory authority over Sage Port #2 owners in direct violation of our Covenants
