Updated on June 11 – With new guidance playgrounds can now have 25 people at a time.

We are pleased to announce our community playgrounds can open!

Under the Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors our community playgrounds can open with restrictions. This includes the playground at the clubhouse and the new community park playground and restroom.  

The order limits the capacity to 10 people at a time at the playground. Individuals should stay at least 6 feet away from members of other households.  

It is up to individuals to play at their own risk and to bring their own cleaning and sanitizer products if desired.  

We also want to remind the community of our playground rules to ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone:

June Newsletter


Pool Information – We hope you are staying safe and healthy during this time. Under Safer at Home, public HOA and gym pools are not allowed to open. When further guidance on pools becomes available we will post it and communicate it to the neighborhood. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Clubhouse Information – Clubhouse rentals have been postponed under the Safer at Home guidelines since no more than 10 people are able to gather in one place. If these restrictions lift we will allow clubhouse rentals to resume and will work with residents on rescheduling their events.  

Park Information – Our park fields and walking trails are open for use. We do ask you to pick up after your pets. To help with this, the board has ordered pet waste bag stations to be placed at the neighborhood park and along the trail behind Harvest.  Although discussed with the city, unfortunately we can not put stations on the trail across from Pine Ridge Elementary School between S Kewaunee Way and S Langdale Way as that is not Wheatlands Metro District property and belongs to the City of Aurora. At this time our community playgrounds, pavilions and bathroom remain closed under the Safer at Home guidelines.

Neighborhood Events – Although in-person events might be cancelled, activities have moved online with the YMCA offering virtual workouts and kids activities. We also are continuing our Food Truck nights with pick up only service in place. The neighborhood garage sale that typically takes place the first weekend of June has been postponed this year. As guidelines evolve and change, we will keep the community informed on if/when we can have additional neighborhood events.  

Summer Camp – Summer camps are allowed to open with restrictions and limits on attendance. To enroll in the YMCA summer camp offered at Wheatlands click here.

COVENANT ENFORCEMENT

Common Violations and How to Avoid Them

As a District, our goal in upholding the Covenants is preserving the nature and character of the
community and protecting property values. It is important to make sure each homeowner is following all of District Guidelines and Covenants. As you read through the list below, you can see how to avoid potential problems.

Here are some of the most common District violations we typically see, and what you should know about each of them.

  • Landscaping: There are rules about overgrown lawns, weeds and dead plants. When you replace dead plants, be sure to check guidelines to see what types of trees/plants/shrubs are allowed. If you are using different plants than what you had, you will need architectural approval.

  • Vehicles: RVs, boats, trailers and commercial vehicles, for example can be kept on a property for up to 72 hours for loading and unloading only. Otherwise they must be kept within the enclosed garage or an off‐site storage facility out of the community.

  • Trash: There are rules on putting trash cans out too early or not bring them in by a certain time, since they can attract pests and make a neighborhood look shabby. “All garbage or trash cans or receptacles shall be stored out of site (except that a container for such materials may be placed outside at such times as may be necessary to permit garbage or trash pickup.) Trash containers may be placed on the street for pickup after 5:00 p.m. on the evening prior to the day that such trash is to be picked up. Trash containers must be removed from the street properly stored by 9:00 p.m. of the day of pickup.”

  • Exterior storage: The District limits what types of equipment may be stored outside. For instance, you should keep items such as bicycles, lawnmowers, kayaks or other items out of view, behind a fence or within your enclosed garage or shed.

  • Pets: To keep all residents safe and comfortable and being respectful of your neighbors, it is important to keep dogs on leashes and to pick up after your pet, while walking them in the neighborhood. The District also limits how many pets you can own, specific breeds and sizes, for example no chickens or livestock are allowed.

  • Noise: The District, as well as the City of Aurora have rules that restrict loud noises or bright lights between certain hours. Noise ordinances must be followed.

  • Holiday decorations: Because you live in the District, there are rules on how long before (45 days) and after (30 days) a holiday that you can decorate the home’s exterior.

  • Design changes: The District set up the Guidelines, so that if you have questions changing the appearance or structure of your home or simple things like painting your house, making changes to any landscaping or adding a patio or deck, do require written approval from the District’s design review committee. To review the Guidelines or to get a design review application go to https://www.wheatlandsmetro.org/covenants/



How to respond to District rule violation notices

  • Address it: Ignoring a violation notice won’t make it go away and can make the situation much worse, if not responded to. Once you’ve received a violation notice, take steps to understand and correct the violation, and either pay or appeal the fine if issued.

  • Don’t take it personally: Remember that the rules were created to keep the community safe and comfortable for residents, including you. You agreed to abide by the rules when you bought your home.

  • Communicate: While friendly phone or email communication can address minor infractions or warnings, written communication and documentation helps create clarity for everyone involved. When you’ve been accused of a rule’s violation, it’s best to address it in writing. If there are extenuating circumstances—like a family emergency that causes you to fall behind on lawn care—communicate that to your Covenant enforcement manager at [email protected] . You don’t know if an exception might be made until you ask.

  • Get involved: There is usually a correlation between the level of homeowner involvement and the success of a community. So, if you want to improve your community, volunteer for a board or committee position or attend meetings to see how you can contribute.

Playground Closures

We hope all of our residents are staying safe and healthy during this time.  Tri-County Health issued a public health order this morning which will close our neighborhood playgrounds (both at the clubhouse and the new park).   The order is as follows:

All public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a single household or living unit are prohibited, except for the limited purposes as expressly permitted in Paragraph 5.  Nothing in this Order prohibits the gathering of members of a household or living unit.

For purposes of this Order, individuals may leave their residence only to perform any of the following “Essential Activities.”  However, persons at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and people who are sick are urged to stay in their residence to the extent possible except as necessary to seek medical care.  Essential Activities means:

To engage in outdoor activity individually or in groups of no more than 4 persons, provided each individual complies with Social Distancing Requirements as defined in this Paragraph 5, such as, by way of example and without limitation, walking, hiking, biking or running. Social distancing requirements for outdoor activity apply to those people from different households. For purposes of outdoor activity, public parks within TCHD’s jurisdiction should remain open to the public to engage in walking, hiking, biking, running, and similar outdoor activities but all playgrounds, golf courses, tennis courts, basketball courts, picnic areas, and other similar areas conducive to public gathering shall be closed.

This order is issued through April 17th.   Please take care during this time and stay safe.
