How is the HOA
organized and managed?
Daily management of the OOR HOA's business is handled by a Community
Management firm (http://www.oorhoa.org/contacts.html). The HOA is organized and managed in accordance
with the HOA Founding Documents. A Board of Directors executes its
responsibilities enumerated in the Founding Documents (Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws, Declaration). The OOR HOA Board of Directors is a
volunteer organization and no remuneration is provided to any volunteer
board member for their services.
Are HOA
meetings open to all members?
The HOA meetings are open to all members in accordance with Virginia Code
requirements governing community associations. Scheduled meetings are
posted on this website (http://www.oorhoa.org/schedules.html).
Is
membership in the Association optional?
No. The Association is responsible for maintenance of all common areas
including the streets that all members and their visitors use and the
maintenance and improvements are funded by membership assessments.
Therefore, all property owners in OOR are required to be members of the
Association.
How do I
volunteer to serve on a committee or get involved in the community?
Simply send an email to the HOA Board from this website (http://www.oorhoa.org/message.html). Tell us how you'd like to help, how to get in
touch with you by phone or email and we'll get in touch with a suggestion.
How can I
obtain an official copy of the Founding Documents of the Association?
Please contact the HOA's Community Management representative via this
website to request a replacement copy. A copying fee is required for a
replacement copy of the Founding Documents.
NOTE: If you just want to check on something in the Founding Documents and
can't find your paper copy easily, there is an UNOFFICIAL electronic copy
on this website (http://www.oorhoa.org/declaration.html).
Who do I
contact if I want to modify the exterior of my home or property or
build/replace a fence or deck?
You must get in touch with the Architectural Review Board via the Community
Manager and complete an Architectural Modification Request Form from this
website (http://www.oorhoa.org/arbform.html). The Architectural Review Board will consider
the request and approve or disapprove it in accordance with the current
Architectural Standards.
Why is my
townhome subject to an HOA Architectural Board review before I sell it?
As a Homeowners Association, we must certify that the structure and grounds
are up to the Architectural Standards required under the Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions before ownership passes to the next owner as
required by the Code of Virginia. Any violations noted will be documented
in the Disclosure Package and must be corrected.
What
rules do I have to follow about exterior improvements, exterior painting or
siding replacement, or landscaping?
You must get in touch with the Architectural Review Board via the Community
Manager and request approval of your plans. All changes must be in
accordance with the approved Architectural Standards and must be approved
by the Architectural Review Board prior to starting the work.
If I see
a safety issue in the Common Area, who do I report it to and how do I
contact them?
Contact the Community Manager via email on this website (http://www.oorhoa.org/contacts.html).
Who do I
call before I dig on my lot (e.g., to plant bushes, install a fence, or
other authorized digging)?
To avoid digging into underground utility lines, causing serious injury,
costly repairs and service outages, please call MISS UTILITY at
1-800-257-7777 at least two business days before you plan to dig on
your property. Miss Utility is a free service that notifies local utilities
to locate and mark buried utility lines using high-visibility safety paint
and/or flags. Call Miss Utility and you'll know where the electric, phone,
cable television, natural gas, sewer and water lines are on your property.
Where
can I go to dispose of household hazardous wastes (motor oil, paint, car
battery)?
There are two options: Citizens Recycling and Disposal Facility, 4618 West
Ox Rd., Fairfax, VA 22030 OR The I-95 Landfill Complex, 9850 Furnace Rd,
Lorton, VA 22079, (703)-324-5068,
