This needs to be done as one of the first steps in the permit process and applies whether your plans involve building a fence, a shed, a septic system, or an entire dwelling. The Request for Architectural Control Committee Approval form can be found on the LPROA website, www.lproa.org under Building in Lost Park Ranch. This information is contained in the Welcome Letter that every new owner receives from Lost Park Ranch Owners Association when they purchase property in Lost Park Ranch. The Following information comes from the Park County Web Page. Land Use Regulations Park County, CO The Land Use Regulations, Section 4-200 Definitions, Accessory Structures, in part states the following: For Lots less than thirty-five (35) acres, an Accessory Structure is not permitted unless a Principal Building is in existence and use on the same Lot, or a building permit for such Principal Building has been obtained. At the request of the HOA Board, we will be looking into options available for us to enforce our Covenants and Bylaws regarding trailers, recreational vehicles and sheds without a primary residence. This may include fines. Gary Jasper LPROA ACC Committee Draft 2018 Annual Membership Meeting Minutes Pending General Membership Approval 8-3-2019 Page 5 of 5
