History & Background

The following is a brief history of the BNC Metro District No. 1 (aka Turnberry) neighborhood:

November 2000: The Developer creates the BNC Metropolitan District

2003: Commerce City approves the Linden subdivision development plan, which reflects 311 single-family home lots

2004: The Turnberry Meadows Homeowners Association, Inc. (HOA) is incorporated and assumes responsibility for enforcing the CC&Rs and providing architectural review services to the neighborhood. All homeowners become shareholders in/owners of the HOA. The District issues bonds totaling approximately $6.0 million to subsidize the Developer's costs to develop its private land prior to the start of homebuilding activities. The Community Declaration for Turnberry Meadows (i.e. CC&Rs) is filed and the lots in the neighborhood are annexed into and become subject to the CC&Rs.

2005: Developer completes construction of the Turnberry community swimming pool. The first of 474 single family homes is sold by the builder (Standard Pacific Homes).

2006: The District enters into an agreement with the HOA where the HOA agreed to operate, maintain and keep open to the public various facilities owned by the District including  the community swimming pool facility including the parking lot), parks and open spaces, storm water detention ponds and perimeter fencing. The HOA agreed to provide such services at its own cost and the HOA is not entitled to any reimbursement from the District for any costs the HOA incurs from providing services under this Agreement.

2013: The District refinances $3.6 million of its remaining 2004 bond debt and issues an additional $4.1 million bonds to finance the build-out of the neighborhood's streets, sidewalks, park, utility lines, perimeter fencing, open space landscaping and storm water drainage infrastructure.

2017: The District refinances $8.0 million of its outstanding bond debt and issues an additional $4.0 million bonds to finance the build-out of the neighborhood's streets, sidewalks, park, utility lines, perimeter fencing, open space landscaping and storm water drainage infrastructure.

2018: The last of 474 single family homes is sold by the builder (Melody Homes).

2020: Three homeowners are elected to the District board. This is the first time the majority of directors on the Board are independent and do not have conflicts of interest serving on the District's board.
