The Annual Homeowners’ Association Meeting was held on March 29, 2015 at the Sherwood Hall Library. Minutes of this meeting may be found under the above tab “HOA Documents”. The main topic of discussion pertained to the proposed asphalt renovation project and how to fund it. While the majority of homeowners (43) voted to implement a one-time Special Assessment of $1,000 per homeowner to gather $70,000 towards the estimated $90,000 asphalt project, we did not have the required majority vote of 2/3rds homeowners (47 votes) to pass/implement the Special Assessment. Nine homeowners voted for the alternate funding option of raising the annual HOA dues from $660 to $1,000 for the next 3 years and delaying the asphalt renovation project until 2018. A total of 18 homeowners did not vote for either option and thus a clear majority could not be reached. The Board hopes to re-visit this topic with homeowners in the coming months in an effort to secure support for improving the looks and value of our community with an asphalt renovation project.
Other news to date: Re-sales of our town homes have been brisk this Spring and early Summer. The Board approved funds for additional trimming of common area landscape, tree trimming and repair of broken paver stones (rear) sidewalks. No asphalt pot hole repairs were completed this Spring due to the pending decision regarding a complete asphalt renovation. The persistent water leak problem at the entrance to our community has finally been repaired by Fairfax water. The Board is sad to loose its Secretary, Morgan Stalter due to her pending move. We thank her for her voluntary services and wish Morgan and her family a safe and worry free move later this month. Currently, both the Secretary and the Chairman of the Architectural Review Committee are vacant. Interested volunteers for these positions should contact the Board.
