Windy Hill Forest HOA - Home Maintenance

Windy Hill Forest HOA - Home Maintenance

Our property covenants call on each of us to keep our homes well maintained and visually attractive. Some of these requirements are included in our ten-point summary (tinyurl.com/whf10pts). Below is a more detailed list of what is expected for homes in the Windy Hill Forest community.

Siding

Siding and bricks should be free of stains or mold. If either is present, the proper steps to clean the siding should be completed ASAP. In addition, siding that has come loose should be repaired. New paint should be applied if peeling or extreme discoloring has occurred to any part of the home. These paint and repair provisions also apply to utility boxes, shutters, doors, awnings, porch lights, bay window areas, and around windows. Ivy that is growing on the house should also be removed.

Gutters

Gutters that are damaged or detached should be secured and repaired. Additionally, gutters should be free of stains and mold. Steps should be taken to clean the gutters if these conditions exist.

Roof

All efforts should be made to repair/replace roofs that are in disrepair. This includes, but is not limited to, obvious signs of leaking, missing/loose shingles, or sections that have become uneven. Chimneys should also be maintained and cleaned as needed, preventing rust or mold from developing.

Windows

No window air conditioners are allowed in WHF. If present, they need to be removed. Each home is to have clear windows without broken seals.

HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Systems

Each home is expected to have functioning HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. Proper repairs should be made to any system that is out of commission.

Lawns

Homes are expected to cut lawns regularly. (At least once every two weeks during growing season and as needed after September.) In addition, efforts should be made to cultivate green grass lawns. Smaller front lawns can consider mulch alternatives provided the mulch is refreshed as needed and is maintained for weed control. Shrubs and bushes should also be pruned regularly to prevent overgrowth. Weeds and any other unsightly growth that do not belong should be removed. Any debris or refuse should be set at the curb the evening before pickup. These items should not be stored elsewhere on the property.

Overall Home Appearance

Signs should not be displayed on the unit itself, in the yard, or in windows (this does not include security signs or temporary election signs). Holiday lights and decorations should be removed after the holiday season is over.

Minutes of 2018 Annual Meeting of Members

WINDY HILL FOREST HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION (“HOA”)

MINUTES OF MARCH 25, 2017 MEETING

The 2018 annual meeting was held April 21,  2018 at 1:15pm at the Smyrna Library Meeting Room.  This meeting was held as part of written notice mailed on April 10, 2018 to all 89 homes in HOA  and the required quorum of 9 homes was exceeded.  Notice was also published at the HOA entrance and on the windyhillforest.com website.

It was moved, seconded and unanimously resolved:

I. that the minutes of the March 25, 2017 annual meeting be approved.

II. that the following persons be elected by the membership to serve as the HOA Board of Directors:

Carmine Lombardi                  Willena Moye              Alisha Davis                                

Clayton Fain                           Mary Groves               Robin Ray Daniel

III.   There was discussion on how the covenants commenced in 1985 with an annual lawn/HOA maintenance fee of $216 which was subject to a 5% increase on the prior year amount.  After calculating the annual increases, the amount for 2018 is $1,081.  It was resolved that the HOA’s gross annual fee of $1,081 would be discounted by $581 for the lawn care component such that the annual fee is to be $500, provided the homeowner arranges regular lawn care.    

IV It was further resolved that an additional "good standing" discount would apply contingent upon two things: timely payment and remaining in good standing for the entire year with respect to HOA covenants and policies; it was resolved that the good standing discount would result in a net fee of $100 for 2018. Homes that do not comply with

the HOA's Ten Points posted on the website and at tinyurl.com/whf10pts are not in good standing; notice and opportunity to cure such failures will be posted on the door of the home and the Board will have discretion on how to impose the $500 fee on homes remaining out of compliance.  Homes that repeat failures previously notified are not entitled to new notices and new opportunities to cure.

Various discussion of subdivision matters occurred, including the members endorsing the Board's authority to file lien claims on delinquent homes, but no other resolutions were adopted.

Parking Policy 2017

Below please see the HOA parking policy.  Most homes are excellent at cooperating with this, other homes will be facing $500 annual fees -- Landlords, please cause tenants and guests to follow the policy.



Parking – Street parking increases the risk of hazard for cars, school bus children, dog walkers and pedestrians. It also poses difficulty for neighbors trying to enter or leave their own driveways.  Please do not park in front of driveways or otherwise on the street, and please inform neighbors and email the HOA in advance of party events.  Also, please remember to make use of the 2600 Matthews Street lot for parking after their normal business hours of 6:30am to 6pm M-F.

Dear Owner:

            The HOA appreciates your financial support.  Our member meeting in March confirmed a minimum fee of $100. You can see the 2017 minutes at www.tinyurl.com/whf2017minutes.   Please let us know if you intend for the HOA to maintain your lawn, if so an entirely different fee structure applies.  Your billing is above.  Most homes will be billed $100 for the year – but this amount can be increased to $500 if there are problems in cooperation with HOA covenants and policies which are summarized as the 10 Points – you can see them at www.tinyurl.com/whf10pts.  Landlords, note that the HOA Landlord letter is at www.tinyurl.com/whf-landlord1.  A small minority of  homes are being billed $500 at the outset due to cooperation problems.  If you have been billed the $500 amount and would like to petition the HOA Board to reconsider, please copy & fill out the form at www.tinyurl.com/whf-fee-petition, then email it to windyhillforest@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Windy Hill Forest Homeowner's Association Inc.
