BOARD RESOLUTION: Windchimes


Village Two Condominiums Homeowners’ Association
Board Resolution Regarding CC&R Article XVII, Section 17 Use and Occupancy Restrictions
Windbells, Windchimes & Similar Devices

To:         All Village Two Homeowners
Date:     August 1, 2012
From:    Village Two Board of Directors

Rationale:   Contained within the Declaration of Horizontal Property Regime and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Village Two, Article XVII, Section 17, at the bottom of page 37, is the following statement.  “No windbells, windchimes, or similar devices shall be permitted on the property.”  It has come to the board’s attention that there are numerous “windbells, windchimes, and similar devices hanging from patios and  balconies, many of which have been hanging for several years.  Furthermore, there have been no recorded homeowner complaints relating to these “windbells, windchimes and similar devices.”  Finally, the last sentence of Article XVII, Section 17 states the following: “The Association may modify or waive the foregoing restrictions or otherwise restrict and regulate the use and occupancy of the Property and the Units by reasonable rules and regulations of general application adopted by the Board of Directors from time to time.“  Therefore the Board is modifying  Article XVII, Section 17, by adopting the following RESOLUTION.
1.       The Board believes that “windbells, windchimes, and similar devices” are not a problem at Village Two.
2.       The Board believes that the number of “windbells, windchimes and similar devices” currently hanging on Village Two patios and balconies indicates a general desire of homeowners to have such devices. 
3.       Therefore, the Board is modifying Article XVII, Section 17, to allow windbells, windchimes and similar devices or objects to be hung on rear balconies and patios provided that no part of the device or object protrudes beyond the outside wall of the balcony or patio. No object may be attached to, or draped on, parts of the buildings considered common property.  Any device or object which protrudes beyond the outside wall of a balcony or patio or is attached to, or draped on, common property is subject to removal after the unit owner has been notified and has failed to take action. 
4.       Should the noise from any windbell, windchime or similar device be the source of a complaint to neighbors, reasonable accommodation should be made by the homeowner to resolve the issue.  If Board input is required to resolve the issue, the decision of the Board is binding and final.
5.       Holiday decorations must be removed in a timely manner, no more than fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the holiday.
6.       Homeowners who violate this resolution will be billed for reimbursement of all costs incurred by Village Two HOA in the removal of the offending device, pursuant to Section 24 of the CC&Rs Please note that this is a direct reimbursement of costs incurred.

BOARD RESOLUTION: Roof maintenance


Village Two Condominiums Homeowners’ Association
Board Resolution Regarding Maintenance of
Tile Roofs and Mechanical Wells (A/C  towers)

To:         All Village Two Homeowners
Date:     August 1, 2012
From:    Village Two Board of Directors

Rationale:   Beginning in April, 2012, and continuing throughout 2012 or until the project is completed, Village Two Homeowners’ Association is refurbishing the tile roofs of the 12 buildings of Village Two at a cost of, when combined with the mechanical wells projects,  approximately three-quarters of a million dollars.  The mechanical wells of all 12 buildings, towers where the air conditioning units are positioned, have already been cleaned and refoamed, paid for from reserves at a cost of approximately $90,000. Funds for financing the tile roof refurbishing have come from a) an additional $34 that was added to the HOA monthly assessment beginning in January 2011, b) each of the 164 homeowners of Village Two being assessed $2,400, and c)  withdrawing money from the reserves to make up the difference.  The total cost of refurbishing the tile roofs is approximately $587,000.  Although the tile roof project is only one-fourth completed, it has come to the Board’s attention that several incidents of air conditioning repair people walking on the newly installed tile have already occurred, causing broken and cracked tiles.  Therefore, the Board intends to protect this significant investment of homeowner funds and the newly refurbished roofs by adopting the following RESOLUTION.
1.       Anyone (homeowner and/or tenant) calling for A/C service MUST request that repairmen come with a 32’ ladder
2.       No one will be allowed to walk on the tile.  Access to the A/C units must be via a 32’ ladder directly to the mechanical wells, which may be in the front or back of the buildings. 
3.       When observed, repairmen with shorter than a 32’ ladder will be asked to leave or utilize a 32’ ladder to continue their work.
4.       Homeowners who violate this resolution will be billed for reimbursement of all costs incurred by Village Two HOA, which may include such items as a) inspection of the roof,  b) broken tile replacement, and c) included repairs when it can be determined which unit owner caused the violation.  (see CC&R Section 12) Please note that this is a direct reimbursement of costs incurred to preserve the integrity of the roof
5.       Because not all violators can or will be determined, beginning with the 2013 Village Two Budget, there will be a line item for maintaining and repairing damage to tile and mechanical wells areas on an annual basis. 
6.       Nothing, such as satellite dishes or antennas, may be placed anywhere on the roof by any unit owner or tenant.   Such items will be removed immediately, and the homeowner may be billed for reimbursement costs of removal and any observed damage and/or required repairs to the roof.
7.       Homeowners must advise  repairmen that nothing, such as replaced A/C carcasses, buckets, and other debris, should be left in the mechanical wells and must be removed.
8.       New A/C units must be lifted into the towers  by mobile crane.  Old units must be lowered by crane.  No units are to be lifted up or lowered down by rope and/or carried across the tile.                                                                                                                       

In order for the Village Two HOA to keep these inspection and repair costs minimized, it is important that
1.        Homeowners report to Management immediately any violators seen walking on the roofs documenting   date, condo address, and name of repair service.  National Property Service can be reached at 480-443-5566 or  ahammer@npsphx.com
2.       Homeowners understand the need to protect the significant investment made to  refurbishing the roofs, cooperate in maintaining this investment by requesting a 32’ ladder when calling for service, and making sure that their instructions are followed by their repair provider. 

The suggestion that Village Two purchase a 32’ ladder for homeowners’ use was discussed at the July 25, 2012, board meeting and rejected because
1.       The cost of the ladder would be $300 - $400, plus likely additional insurance costs to protect the association from liability should there be an accident while the ladder is in use, or there is unauthorized use of the ladder resulting in personal or property damage to a condo or condo  owner(s). 
2.       There is no secure location on site to house the ladder, and here is no one on site who would be responsible for the safekeeping of the ladder, checking it in and out on a 24/7/365 basis.
