Apply for Improvements

The proactive property inspection of all houses is an important tool to help maintain the real estate values in Stone Ridge.

The Essentials Of Due Process

Alleged violations of the Governing Documents (which shall include but not be limited to the Design and Maintenance Standards), shall be made by written complaint or report by either a Member, the Board or Covenants Committee, or the Managing Agent or Association Personnel.

Violations Procedures

1. First Notice of Violation – The First Notice of Violation shall generally advice the Member of the nature of the violation, the provision of the Governing Documents which has allegedly been violated, the remedy required, and state that the Member must complete corrective action within 14 days.

Second Notice of Violation – If the Member does not remedy the violation within the time period required in the First Notice of Violation, the Association may issue a Second Notice of Violation, which shall follow the basic form of the First Notice of Violation and include any additional information or requirements deemed important by the Manager concerning the violation. The Second Notice of Violation shall provide another compliance deadline of 14 days and inform the Member that if the violation is not timely cured, violation charges of $50 per non-recurring violation or $10 per day for violations of a continuing nature may be assessed (or such other charges as may be allowed by the POAA, as amended). At the Manager’s discretion, the Second Notice may be combined with notice of hearing if the violation is of a serious nature or if the Covenants Committee or Manager otherwise wish to hold a hearing about the matter. If the Member does not remedy the violation by the deadline required in the Second Notice of Violation, a Notice of Hearing may be issued if not already issued.

2. Notice of Hearing – The Notice of Hearing shall be issued under the

following circumstances: (1) If the Member has not remedied the relevant violation within the time period required in the First or Second Notices of Violation, (2) The relevant violation continues. The Notice of Hearing shall describe the violation, cite the provision of the Governing Documents which is being violated and shall describe the charges which may be levied or other action which may be taken by the Association if the violation is not remedied by the date set forth in the Notice. The Notice shall further state that a hearing will be held by the Covenants Committee or Board regarding the alleged violation and shall state:

i. the time, date, and place of the hearing;

ii. that the affected Member shall be given an opportunity to be heard, to be represented by counsel and to present witnesses before the Board;

iii. the alleged violation, citing pertinent provisions of the Governing Documents;

iv. that charges for violation of the Governing Documents may include an assessment of up to fifty dollars ($50) for a non-recurring violation or ten dollars ($10) per day for up to ninety (90) days or the maximum amount of time allowed by law, for any violation of a continuing nature or such greater amounts as may be authorized by the POAA,

v. that other sanctions may be imposed, such as the suspension of the right to use facilities and services provided directly through the Association, injunctive relief, and/or entry onto the property by an agent of the Association to abate the violation.

The Notice of Hearing shall be delivered by Registered or Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, and via first class mail, postage pre-paid or hand delivery, to the Member at his/

her address listed in the Association’s records, and to the property address, if the Member’s listed address is different from the property address, at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the hearing, or within such other time as may be required by the POAA. Any Notice of Violation letter referenced in Section II may be combined with the notice of hearing.

School Is Open Drive Carefully!

The American Automobile Association’s annual “School’s Open – Drive Carefully” campaign advises drivers to follow these safety tips to protect our children.

• Slow down near schools and in residential areas.

• Drive with your headlights on - even during the day - so children and other drivers can see you.

• Look for clues such as safety patrollers, bicycles and playgrounds that indicate children could be in the area.

• Scan between parked cars and other objects for signs of children.

• Practice extra caution in bad weather.

• Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students.

A national survey of speeding in school zones found that two-thirds of drivers exceed the posted speed limit during the 30-minute period before and after school. Please slow down through Stone Ridge and keep our roadways safe for our children as they head back to school!

August Seal Coating Completed - Thank You!

Thank you to residents in Sections 1, 2, 3, 13, 14 and 36 for your patience during the August seal coating project. The weather cooperated (for the most part) and our streets now look fresh and clean! We know it was an inconvenience, but it is important for the Association to seal coat Stone Ridge private streets according to the Reserve Study to extend the life of the asphalt. We’ll be doing this again in another five years! Again, thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Organic Lawn Care Tips

Add organic matter to your lawn to build the soil – or spread an inch of compost in the fall, and water it in. Increasing the organic matter in your lawn by as little as 5% will quadruple the soil’s ability to hold water.

Fertilizing in early fall promotes vigorous lawn growth the next spring. Use an organic, slow-release fertilizer to feed your

lawn and the soil. These materials break down slowly, feeding your grass over a longer period of time.

Aerate your lawn every couple of years to eliminate thatch and to allow air, nutrients, and water to penetrate deep into the root zone.

Less than 2% of the insects found in your backyard are pests. Most are considered beneficial.

Corn gluten meal is natures weed & feed! It prevents many weed seeds from germinating and benefits grasses by adding valuable nitrogen to the soil.

Even in the best of soils, chemical lawn fertilizers can kill soil microbes, repel earthworms, and ruin soil structure.

Most lawns need about 1-inch of water per week to thrive. Water in the morning to prevent disease.

Some clover in the lawn is NOT all bad. It is drought tolerant, stays green, fixes nitrogen from the air (which helps feed grasses) and earthworms love it.

Annual Steak & Crab Feast

Residents and their friends en-joyed hanging out on Saturday, July 17th for the Annual Steak and Crab Feast. Approximately 300 residents and their guests en-joyed the event this year. That’s about 20 more than last year!

The evening temperatures were in the mid 90’s but were bearable with an easterly breeze. A 3200 square foot tent allowed everyone to socialize comfortably under the tent out of the sun. The DJ kept attendees moving throughout the evening with some favorite music. Residents grilled their steaks the way they liked them using many different marinades and rubs. They also enjoyed two tables filled with salad, sides and desserts.


Keep The Fun Going

Approximately 20 volunteers arrived around 4pm to set up tables, wrap the tables, place paper towels and hand wipes out and set up chairs. Many stayed and helped clean off tables after the event was over around 11pm.

Thank you to all the volunteers and the Activities Committee for making this year’s Steak & Crab event memorable.

If you have never attended the event, don’t miss out on it next year!

Sheriff Warns Residents of SMiShing Scam

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning Friday, July 23, 2010 regarding cell-phone texting scams that attempt to obtain personal

banking information from the victim. The scam involves a bulk text message, called SMiShing, stating that your card has been disabled and to contact a local number with a 703 prefix.

When the victim contacts the number it asks the victim to enter a bank account and pin numbers. Locally the scam has involved the Loudoun Credit Union. There have been several reported victims of this scam in Loudoun County.

SMiShing is similar to Phishing where subjects use e-mail to attempt to fraudulently obtain personal information from a victim. The text messaging scam has been dubbed SMiShing, a term derived from SMS technology used for cell phone text messages.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Crime Prevention Unit reminds residents to take a few precautions to protect themselves from becoming a victim of this scam:

Never respond to unsolicited requests for personal financial information received via text message – even if the request appears to come from a legitimate institution that you do business with. This includes request to “confirm, verify or update” your information.

Always know who you’re dealing with. Don’t click on links in text messages, or call numbers listed in text messages.

Put strong passwords on all your financial accounts.

Monitor your credit report regularly for signs of irregularities.

If you think you have been a victim of this scam you are asked to contact Investigator T. Ortwein of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Financial Crimes Unit at 703-777-0475.

School

Getting Your Family Ready To Start School

Here are ten common back-to-school worries and simple solutions.

1. New Classmates Share from your personal experience of making new friends. 2. New Teachers Try to schedule a brief introduction time with the teacher before school starts. Speak positively about the exciting year ahead. 3. Being Prepared Enlist your child in the planning for the first day of school. Organize everything the night before school to ensure a smoother start to the day. 4. Getting Lost Visit their new school ahead of time, or walk down the school’s hallways before the hustle and bustle of the first day. 5. Meeting New Kids Help develop and practice brief responses to possible comments or inquiries. 6. Making the Grade Let your child know you and the teacher are there to assist and encourage their efforts. 7. Lunchtime Be sure to pack food your child likes and in packages he/she can open. Ensure that your child’s little hands can tackle chip or cracker bags, juice containers, sandwich boxes etc. 8. Fashion Before shopping, go through catalogs and magazines to get an idea of what your child wants to wear. Encourage independent style and self expression but don’t forget to refer to your school dress-code regulations 9. Scheduling Older “latch- key” students should practice the routine before school begins. Middle school students who worry about changing classes, lockers etc. may only need a few reminders that everyone is in the same boat. 10. Getting To and From School Drive the route several times before school starts. Obtain the bus number from your district office before school starts and practice this number ahead of time. Listen to your child....if they are frightened, talk with the bus driver.
