Addendum for Preston Hollow Rules and Regulations ACC Guidelines
Addendum
for Preston Hollow Rules and Regulations ACC Guidelines Failure to
Maintain according to the 720 laws of the State of Florida
Failure
to maintain violations will receive up to two (2) letters on a
violation with the specific violation noted and giving a reasonable
time frame for correction. These letters will not be adversarial as
per the procedure for the notification of a violation.
Following
the 720 law, a third letter will inform the property owner of the
intent to place a fine against the property if the specific violation
is not corrected in fourteen (14) days. The fine will be in the
amount of $50.00 a day for a total of twenty (20) days or a total of
$1000.00. Upon reaching this amount, with no correction of the
violation, a lien will be placed against the property. The 720 law
allows for this action to be placed on both the owner of the property
and a tenant, if the property is not occupied by the owner
.
.
This
letter will be mailed regular mail, to the owner, the tenant, and a
copy hand delivered to the property.
The
letter must state that the owner may request a hearing. The
Committee for this hearing will be appointed by the BOD, consisting
of three (3) members of the HOA, who are not Board members or members
of any committee, a relative of any Board member or committee member.
The decision of this appointed committee will hear the situation
presented by the property owner. The decision of this committee is
final.
If
the violation is still not corrected following the full twenty (20)
days, the matter will also be turned over to the HOA attorney for
follow up and legal action. This action can be sited in the third
letter as the probable outcome with further failure to correct the
violation.
Once the fine becomes ninety (90) days past due, the voting rights of the member will be suspended. All other dues will be owed at the time of the due date for annual dues. These actions do not eliminate the responsibility of the property owner to pay annual dues.
Passed:
April 8, 2014 Preston Hollow Home Owners Association, Board of
Directors.

PHHOA April 2014 Newsletter
PRESTON
HOLLOW HOA N E W S
April
14, 2014
If you
were unable to attend the PHHOA meeting last Wednesday April 9, you
missed a good, informative meeting with lots of lively discussion. Barry
Buchmiller began the meeting on a positive note stating how good the
Community looks overall and his perspective was that most Community
members are happy with Preston Hollow.
Secretary
Sharon Ricks, in lieu of a Treasurer, reported the financial status
as of March 31, 2014 as follows: Savings Account: $14,917.28;
Checking Account: $28,912.57. A Motion was made and carried to
transfer $5000 from the Checking Account into the Savings Account.
VP Lisa
Groeneveld welcomed new Community members to the meeting. She
explained the process of selling a property and the criteria for
ascertaining that all property assessments and liens must be
satisfied before the property could be “closed” or sold. Last
week she processed two Estoppels for properties in Preston Hollow;
one at Clarendon Ct. and another on Forest Wood Ct. The owners
expressed their happiness to live in such a beautiful community. The
checks for the two properties were retrieved from the PH mailbox the
day of this meeting as reported by Sharon Ricks. Another property
is pending to close on April 24, 2014. That owner has been in e-mail
contact with members of the Board and is eager to move here.
Lisa
also reported that the bushes at the front wall are filling in
nicely, but should probably be trimmed soon. She added that the
front wall was painted by West Coast Painting and if anyone wanted
their contact info to let her know. A member noted that the wall had
mortar bleeding through the stucco. Lisa noted that West Coast
Painting has a one-year warranty on their work, so she would give a
call to have them take a look at it.
Barry
reported extensive repair of the electrical system at the entrance.
Lights were not working for a few days until an electrical contractor
could be located. Three phase contacts were broken, several gang bell
blades broken and now replaced. Barry and the Board agreed the cost
of $472 to repair and replace this work was a reasonable fee.
VP and
Member at Large Judy Thompson gave an in-depth report of the “Failure
to Maintain” issues affecting Preston Hollow. She noted new
Complaint Forms were created and were placed on the table for anyone
to take as they left the meeting. She would also place those forms
on the PHHOA Blogsite, as well.
She
informed the members that PHHOA Board representatives met with the
attorney as requested by a member at the January 9, 2014 meeting, and
that the violations will be processed as previously outlined.
Judy
discussed the 720 Law which is the State Law overseeing the
management of HOAs in Florida. The Law clearly allows for charging a
fine of $100 a day up to $1000 for failure to maintain lots within an
HOA. Her suggestion was to charge $50/day for a total of 20 days for
a total of $1000 in the event of this violation. A Motion was made
and passed unanimously for an Amendment to levy a charge of $50 per
day for 20 days. Judy will post the Amendment onto the PH HOA
blogsite, and deliver to each Homeowner.
Judy
also presented a Mission Statement (read by Lisa Groeneveld) that she
wished to have signed by each Board member and adopted as another
Amendment. Lisa made the Motion, and it was passed unanimously by the Board to
adopt the Mission Statement as read. This, too, will be posted on
the PHHOA Blogspot.
Judy
then discussed and recommended that PHHOA incorporate a document
entitled a “Nuisance Statement” as part of paragraph 11 of 19 of
the PH Guidelines of 2012. Judy suggested that a need for something
in writing relating to bullying needed to be acted on. However, no
action was taken on this issue and the discussion was tabled.
Bill
Thompson, Chair of Crime Watch, reported the findings of a meeting
with the Sheriff on March 19, 2014. He explained the program called
the “Care Line” in which a person could be contacted daily after
signing on to the program in the event of illness or an emergency.
Bill further noted the continuation of the “snatch and grab” from
open garages, and entry through back door and sliders. He cautioned
everyone to be vigilant around their properties.
A
homeowner stated the DRA near his property was not recently mowed.
Barry would notify the Lawn Mowing Services to do so.
The PHHOA Yard Sale
will be Saturday,
May 17, 2014 from 8 – 2 pm.
Please
mark the date of the next PHHOA meeting for Wednesday, July 9, 2014 @ 7 pm.
Sincerely,
Sharon
Ricks, Secretary
