According to the ACC Guidelines: “The landscape plan for each site much include one (1) tree in the front yard and one fruit tree in the back yard.”.
Colorado law requires that artificial turf grass must be allowed by HOAs. The HOA preference is that artificial turf only be installed in the back yard.
No sheds are allowed on property within Meadows at Coal Creek unless it is attached to the house and matches the exterior of the house. Keep in mind your improvements may require a city building permit.

No. The fences boarding the open space (along the power lines), Cherry Street, the South side, the pedestrian walk on the East side and the West side cannot be changed without proper approval. Because all border fences must be consistent, all neighbors sharing the fence must provide written approval for the change and a total of 65% all owners in MCC must provide written agreement before filing an amended PUD with the City of Louisville. These fences are controlled by the City of Louisville PUD (Meadows at Coal Creek PUD.pdf).
