Q: I'd like to make a change to my property. How do I know if the change is something that requires approval from the ACC?
A: If you aren't sure if your proposed change requires approval, please assume that approval IS required. However, before taking the time to fill out an ACC Architectural
Submittal Form, feel free to contact any ACC member to find out if approval is necessary. Your questions are welcomed.
Q: How do I get a copy of the ACC Architectural Submittal Form?
A: The ACC Architectural Submittal Form is typically included in the mailed newsletters. If you don't have a copy available to you, a printable copy of the form can be found
in the Documents page.

A: You will receive a response to your submitted ACC request within 30 days from the date the application was postmarked, faxed or emailed. The response may be approving or
denying your request, or the response may be a request for additional information. If you do not receive a response from the ACC within 30 days of the ACC receiving your
request, your request is automatically approved.
Q: If my ACC Request is denied, may I re-submit a modified request?

Horses
Q: Are horses permitted to be kept on Michigan Hill?
A: Please note that Michigan Hill was not planned as horse property and is zoned as residential.
Water - our wells are only permitted for inside sanitary use so water will need to be hauled in and it is best to document should the water commissioner do an inspection.
Fencing - any fencing will require ACC approval and a permit from the county. Metal tee post are not permitted, only wood post. MHOA requires a 50' corral/fence setback from the property lines.
Barn (accessory structure) - will require ACC approval and a county permit, also a county requirement regarding distance from any dwelling.
Nuisance - potential issue may be if the horses are considered a nuisance by your neighbors if there is smell and attract flies. County requires routine clearing of all organic waste.
From Park County Land Use Regulations:
1. All corrals, stalls, and barns shall be located at least fifty feet from any dwelling and one hundred feet from any water well.
2. All corrals, stalls, and barns shall be routinely cleared of organic waste.
3. Require 20,000 sq. feet (equivalent of 200' x 100') of corral/fencing space per horse.
