The annual inspection program will soon commence during the months of March thru April with written violations being issued by May 15th.  This year, the entire community will be inspected.  As expressed at the Annual Meeting, a walk-through of the community will be conducted versus a detailed thorough inspection that cost the Association $40/home; our budget for this year was greatly reduced.  Since the Asset Maintenance Committee’s inception, the goal was to have this become an annual process with the hope to create a cultural change that folks would attend to their maintenance on a yearly basis.

 

This program is important for the appearance of the entire community as it ages and to maintain property values. (The Master Declaration of Protective Covenants and Restrictions under Section 7.2., Maintenance of Property). Maintenance items are easier and less costly if attended to timely.

 

The HOA inspector does not inspect for major structural items, integrity of mechanical or electrical systems, pests, or leaks.  The HOA inspector will look at obvious appearance items such as fading, chalking, blotching, and uneven paint; peeling paint on entry safety walk rails; mold and green fungus anywhere on the house, fence, or steps that require cleaning; removal of vegetation growing on the house or fence (more detail of items can be found on the link below). 

 

Homeowners with maintenance items that need to be addressed will be requested to complete the needed repairs by June 30. If an owner does not agree with the repair requirements, they should write to Town Management by June 1 stating the reasons why they believe certain repairs are unnecessary. Town Management will review and reevaluate the need for repairs based on the facts laid out in the Owner correspondence, and if appropriate, a meeting will be set up between the owner and the Asset Maintenance Committee to discuss the resolution.

 

Requests for time extensions will be limited.  If an owner plans to complete the repairs, but they won't be completed by June 30, then they should provide a plan and timetable for completion. Providing copies of any signed contracts as documentation is advised. Records of all inspections and related documentation throughout the inspection and compliance process will be kept by Town Management.

 

Over the past three years, the program has had positive results among our owners. We have a community that meets the high standards of a properties consistent with a "first-quality" development.
