To My Fellow Meadows Residents, 
Please sign our petition to allow these discreet lights in our community

THE PROBLEM:
The Meadows HOA is banning the possession and installation of concealed accent/holiday lighting.

Many in our community have already had them installed with the general understanding the HOA governing documents have put forth regarding lighting. Namely the allowance of holiday lighting, "mood lighting" (lights that are white hue and point down affixed to a permanent structure), and accent lighting such as can pot lights across a home that builders install and hanging deck lighting.

We as a community are trying to be heard. So far any approach to discuss the issue has been met with almost immediate rejection by the HOA Board without valid reasoning. Further, those that have had the lights already are being targeted by the HOA seeking out homes at night that may have these lights so they can begin the process of getting them removed.

We are trying to be heard as a greater community to make a change to ARC guidelines without the need to potentially use HOA dues for representation.

PLEASE NOTE: Terrain and Crystal Valley permit these lighting solutions.

WHAT IT IS:
Concealed accent/holiday lighting is a new trend in home improvement. Popular known brands are Jellyfish Lighting and Gemstone Lighting. 

These lights are nearly invisible during the day and provide homeowners the ability to use them for discreet and attractive accent lighting on their homes as well as choose holiday lighting in December. 

WHY PEOPLE WANT THEM:
There are many reasons why homeowners across Castle Rock are interested in this solution. A few include:

- safety: no longer need to climb ladders to install lights or take them down

- curb appeal: showcase your biggest investment (your home) in attractive seasonal ways or throughout the year with tasteful architectural lighting

- security: provides soft illumination promoting safety and security in the neighborhood

- increase property value: investment of a very "nice to have" on your home setting it apart from others and increasing it's real estate value

- HOA Advantage: many HOAs across the US are thrilled with the inclusion of these lights as they are adding an unprecedented amount of professionalism to holiday displays and architectural lighting community homes present
