The name of the corporation is "Manchester Park Townhouse Homeowners Association, Inc.," hereinafter called the "Association."
The principal office of the Association is located at 1399 South Idalia Street, Aurora, Colorado 80014.

This Association does not contemplate pecuniary gain or profit to the members thereof, and the specific purposes for which it is formed are to provide for maintenance, preservation and architectural control of the Lots and Common Area within that certain tract of property described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and to promote the health, safety and welfare of the residents within the above-described property and any additions thereto as may hereafter be brought within the jurisdiction of this Association, and for this purposes to:
Every person or entity who is a record owner of a fee or undivided fee interest in any Lot which is subject by the terms of the Declaration to assessment by the Association, including the Declarant, as said term is defined in the Declaration, and contract sellers, shall be a member of the Association. The foregoing is not intended to include persons or entities who hold an interest merely as security for the performance of an obligation. Membership shall be appurtenant to and may not be separated from ownership of any Lot which is subject to assessments by the Association.
The Association shall have two classes of voting membership:
Class A. Class A members shall be all of the Owners, with the exception of the Declarant, and shall be entitled to one vote for each Lot owned. When more than one person holds an interest in any Lot, all such persons shall be members. The vote for such Lot shall be exercised as they among themselves determine, but in no event shall more than one vote be cast with respect to any Lot.
Class B. The Class B member(s) shall be the Declarant (as defined in the Declaration) and shall be entitled to three (3) votes for each Lot owned. The Class B membership shall cease and be converted to Class A membership on the happening of either of the following events, whichever occurs earlier:
The affairs of the Association shall be managed by a Board of nine (9) Directors, who need not be members of the Association: however, the initial Board of Directors shall consist of only three (3) Directors who shall serve until their successors are selected at the first annual meeting of the members. The number of Directors may be changed by amendment of the By-Laws of the Association. The names and addresses of the persons who are to act in the capacity of Directors until the selection of their successors are:
Name | Address |

Andrew Graham | 1616 Glenarm Place Denver, Colorado |

James Thompson | 6801 South Yosemite Englewood, Colorado |
At the first annual meeting subsequent to the termination of Class B membership, the members shall elect three (3) Directors for a term of three (3) years, three (3) Directors for a term of two (2) years and three (3) Directors for a term of one (1) year; and at each annual meeting thereafter the members shall elect directors for a term of three (3) years.
The Association may be dissolved with the written assent of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of each class of members. Upon dissolution of the Association, other than incident to a merger or consolidation, the assets of the Association shall be dedicated to an appropriate public agency to be used for purposes similar to those for which this Association was created. In the event that such dedication is refused acceptance, such assets will be granted, conveyed, and assigned to any non-profit corporation, association, trust or other organization to be devoted to such similar purposes.
The Corporation shall exist perpetually.
Amendment to these Articles shall require the assent of seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire membership.
As long as there is a Class B membership, the following actions will require the prior approval of the Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Administration: annexation of additional properties, mergers and consolidations, mortgaging of Common Area, dedication of Common Area, dissolution and amendment of these Articles.
