|
| March 2007 to March 2009 |
Centex builds and sells all 55 townhome units located on the south and west side of Leyden Street.
|
| 2008/2009 |
Beginning of the Great Hosing Recession - home building activity stalls for several years.
|
| April 2013 |
Centex Homes sells the remaining 56 remaining undeveloped townhome lots (all located on the north side of Leyden Street) to home builder, Century Communities.
|
| April 2014 |
Rather than annex all 56 townhome units into the HOA serving the existing 55 townhomes on the south and west side of Leyden Street, Century Communities decides to create the Ash Meadows Metropolitan District - the boundaries of which encompass the remaining 56 undeveloped townhome units in the Ash Meadows Subdivision - to provide all services to the 56 townhome units.

Generally, home builders will only annex new units into an HOA if the builder controls the HOA board. Otherwise, builders generally prefer to create a new HOA - or district in this case - that the builder can control until the last units are built and sold within the community.
|
| July 2014 |
The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Ash Meadows (i.e. CC&Rs) is filed with the Adams County Clerk & Recorder's Office against all 56 townhome units.
|
| July 2014 to Dec. 2015 |
Century Communities builds and sells all 56 townhome units on the north side of Leyden Street.
|
| May 2018 |

|
| November 2018 |
The District's board is entirely comprised of homeowners. All Century Community employees resign from serving on the District's board.
