Ref: Spring Clean Up
Dear Residents,
This letter is going out to all residents in the McNaughten Village Condominium Association. The Association has a web site where the association’s document can be found. The web site for the Associations is
www.McNaughtenVillage.com.
Spring is upon us and it is time to clean up around the community. There are many patio fences and interiors of the patios that are in need of repair and clean up. The Board of Directors is requesting that all patio areas, limited common area, plantings, etc.
be cleaned up prior to April 27, 2018. This will give you plenty of notice to have this completed. After that date the association will have any violations cleaned up at the home owner’s expense. If you have any questions, please contact this office.
As stated in the bylaws and rules and regulations, the doors and garage doors are an owner responsibility. There are several doors and garage doors that are in need of repair and or replacement. This becomes a violation if not maintained. Please have these doors and garage doors repaired/painted and or replaced prior to April 27, 2018. If it cannot be done by that date, please have a plan submitted to the Board of Directors prior to that date, so it can be reviewed and approved.
We have noticed that there are a couple of vehicles that are either parked for extended periods of time or are being worked on. These are violations of the rules and regulations. Do not work on vehicles in the common area. Also do not park a vehicle in the common area for more than 48 hours without the prior approval of the Board of Directors. Violators are subject to be towed at the owner’s expense.
Please notify the management company should you see any exterior repairs that are needed. You can either e-mail me at tom@advancedrealty/mgmt.com or drop a note off at Joanne Kitchen’s, 1862 Misty Way.
As a reminder, I have included some of the Association rules that deal with the owner responsibility. Please review.
Limited Common Areas
Limited Common Areas, as described in the Bylaws, means those Common Areas serving exclusively one Unit or more than one but less than all Units, the enjoyment, benefit or use of which are reserved to the lawful occupants of that Unit or Units either in the Bylaws, or by the Board, and is that portion of the Condominium Property constituting “limited common areas and facilities” of the Condominium under the Condominium Act.
Limited Common Areas Uses: Limited Common areas consist of a front concrete stoop and the patio area and existing fences at the rear of each unit and the improvements inside of the patio. These areas are reserved for the exclusive use of the Unit owner and occupants of the Unit. The Unit owner is responsible for cleaning, moving, plowing or ice removal of the stoops and patios. It is the Unit owner’s responsibility to repair or maintain improvements within the patio and the interior surface of the patio fences, and to remove snow from the sidewalks. (Remove snow from sidewalks when it exceeds 2” in depth.)
When an owner removes a fence for any reason, they shall be held responsible for replacing said fence prior to the sale of the unit.
