Homeowner Newsletter – June 18th, 2023
VGVCHOA Members,
The Board has elected to add an additional method of communicating with the HOA members through email. If you see an email from mail@streamsidehoa.org, it is from the Streamside HOA Board. Please make sure your email does not route it to Junk. There are three notices contained in this email. Please be sure you read all of them.
The Valley Club Special Road Assessment
One year ago, in June and then again at the 2022 Annual Meeting in September, the Board made the VGVCHOA aware of our contractual obligation to pay 20% of the costs to resurface Valley Club Drive and View Club Drive. These contractual obligations are spelled out in the Water Service, Easement and Cost Sharing Agreement that was entered into by the original developer, Henry Dean and then President of the VGVCHOA , the Valley Club Owners Association, and the Valley Club Inc dated April 10th, 2008. We have provided a link to this document here and also placed it in the Documents section on the website. The initial resurfacing work is set to begin this year with the major road repairs occurring in 2024.
A current estimate of our 20% share is $385,000 or $8,955.49 per lot. The Board has decided to issue invoices quarterly, or $2,238.37 per lot. These amounts are subject to change as the Valley Club gets final bids. The invoice dates will be August 1st, 2023, November 1st, 2023, January 5th, 2024 and March 5th, 2024. The Valley Club has on numerous occasions asked us to have our funds available as costs are incurred. We ask you to please pay in a timely manner.
