Community Updates

Bees Ferry Road Expansion Project: As I’m sure all of you know, a portion of the common property along Bees Ferry Road will be acquired by the County.  The Board of Directors hired Attorney John Dodds to represent them in this process.  Recently, the County presented an offer of $29,670.00 for 0.444 acres/ 19,345.50 square feet of land and all improvements thereon.  Mr. Dodds has been in touch with the Association’s appraiser who is finalizing his report.  Mr. Dodds will negotiate with the County on the Association’s behalf.  The Board will continue to keep owners informed throughout this process.

Resident Landscaping: The planting of personal landscaping (i.e. flowers, shrubs, vines, etc.) on common property is permitted only if it is properly maintained by the resident.  The landscape contract does not cover maintenance for items that were added by residents.  If at any time an item that was planted by a resident begins to intrude on other residents, common areas or buildings OR it is not being properly maintained by the resident, it will be removed with no prior warning to the unit owner or the current occupant of the unit.  

Pets: The community gladly welcomes pets, but to assure the quality of life of all residents, the following rules and regulations govern pets within the community:

§    Each unit is allowed only one pet.

§    Acceptable Pets: Unless the Board of Directors grants a waiver, the only pets permitted on property shall be dogs which are under thirty (30) pounds when fully grown, cats, small birds and fish.

§    The Owner shall be financially responsible for any person injury or personal property damage caused to any Owner, tenant, guest, or to any member of the public as a result of the Owner’s maintenance of a pet.

§    Pets must be carried in arms or on a leash when taken in and out of the building and should never be left outside unattended.

§    Pets must not be curbed near the buildings, walkways, shrubbery, pool area, gardens, planting areas, open areas, or other public space. Each Owner is responsible for cleaning up or removing from the Property any pet waste.

For Sale/For Rent Signs: No ads, signs, posters or advertisements of any kind shall be posted on the walls, windows, or doors in the interior or exterior of the Limited or General Common Elements.  The Board approved locations for a For Sale/For Rent sign are as follows:

§    Perimeter Units and Downstairs Interior Units (Flats) - One For Sale/For Rent sign and one brochure box situated in a mulched (non-sodded) area nearest the front door of the unit.

§    Upstairs Interior Units (Flats) - One For Sale/For Rent sign posted in the living room window and one brochure box situated in a mulched (non-sodded) area nearest the front door of the unit.
