News and Announcements

Reservoir

On July 2, 2024, we reached out for assistance regarding the persistent trespassing issues at the pond. Although the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has issued numerous tickets to individuals violating the no trespassing rules, the problem persists. We have discovered that these trespassers are locating the pond through a fishing app, with many coming from outside Stonegate.

To safeguard our property and ensure the health, safety, and welfare of our residents, taxpayers, and constituents, we must emphasize that fishing and watersports are strictly prohibited on all District properties, including the District Reservoir, which is composed of reclaimed wastewater.

If the trespassing continues, we will be forced to install a chain link fence with barbed wire to deter further intrusions.

We have requested increased patrols from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department, and we urge you to report any trespassing incidents directly to them. Please call the Douglas County Sheriff non-emergency line at 303-660-7505 if you observe anyone violating the property regulations.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in maintaining the integrity and safety of our District’s properties.

Stonegate Park News

All Stonegate Village Metropolitan District parks are open from 6am to 10pm. To report a rules violation, please call the District office number at 303-858-9909, or the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency number at 303-660-7500. 

No hammocking in Stonegate Village Metropolitan parks or open spaces.

Effective immediately Stonegate Village Metropolitan District will restrict the use of any type of attachment to the park trees, including hammocks. The hammock straps over time, wear away the bark. The layer underneath the bark helps bring water from the roots up to the tree. When that gets damaged, the tree dies. Stonegate considers trees to be an invaluable asset, which is why the district has put in place a no hammocking policy dedicated to protecting our trees.

Stonegate Village Fence Replacement Updates

As we wrap up Phase 1 of the project, the District successfully installed and stained over 35,856 lineal feet of beautifully crafted cedar fencing as of March 2023. The fence is replaced at the rate of 500+ linear feet per week (as weather allows). This project continues as planned throughout 2023.

As many already know, in an effort to preserve the appearance of our Stonegate community and keep property values at their highest, the SVMDs Board of Directors voted unanimously to replace the District Fencing (Common Area /Open Space Only) 6’ and 4’ privacy fences. The new fencing is of "like-kind".

Definition of Fencing to Be Replaced – Fencing that abuts District Property/Open Space

This project is estimated to take place over a period of three years and began in the Spring of 2021. The fence contractor has walked the property and has prepared the plan for the most efficient and effective way to minimize disturbances to our homeowners. Cooperation by all of us will help to produce a final product that we should all be proud of and one that enhances the esthetic value of our community.
