LANDOWNER,
We have not
received communication from you regarding the delinquent fenced land assessments
for your parcel #21-16-032. In our letter to you dated September 18, 2008,
we advised your fenced land assessments have gone unpaid for several years now
and have accrued to an amount that may result in lien action on the property if
not resolved. Because we did not receive a response from you, the matter
was addressed at the April 25, 2009 landowners’ meeting. The landowners
have elected to proceed to Small Claims Court for recovery of delinquent amounts
and legal fees if the assessments are not resolved in 30 days.
We respectfully
request your coordination with Treasurer, David Weston, to resolve this matter
before action is taken in Small Claims Court. Mr. Weston can be reached at
the address posted at the top of this letter. You may also reach him by
e-mail at Treasurer@RedBankOaks.org.
The following
policy applies to any fenced area within Red Bank Oaks.
To
ensure the Association accurately assesses each landowner's fenced acreage,
the fenced acreage should be objectively measured. In 2001, the
landowners decided the amount of acreage fenced will be determined using one
of three methods:
1.
The landowner may submit a letter from a licensed surveyor indicating the
measurement(s) of the fencing and certifying the amount of acreage fenced.
This letter must be dated, certified, and contain the mailing address and
phone number of the surveyor. A copy of the document is to be
maintained in the Association Treasurer's files.
2.
The landowner may allow a Red Bank Oaks Property Owners' Association Board
member to measure the perimeter of the fenced acreage using a measuring
wheel. The landowner is encouraged to escort the Board Member and take part
in this activity. The measurement(s) will be documented, along with
the names of the Board Member and the Landowner, and the document will be
signed and dated by both parties. A copy of the document is to be
maintained in the Association Treasurer's files.
3.
If the landowner does not contact the Association and elect to use either of
the above methods to help ensure accurate assessment, the Association will
automatically assume the fenced acreage to be the full acreage of the
property, even if the naked eye suggests the acreage to be much smaller.
Though not reflected in the CC&Rs, it has been Association policy to allow
each landowner to fence 1 (one) acre without penalty. All fenced
acreage beyond the 1-acre allowance will be assessed accordingly.
Kind regards,
Kimberly A. Rowe,
President
Red Bank Oaks
Property Owners' Association
