 Message from John Melnick, Waterview Cluster HOA President

Waterview Cluster held its annual meeting May 7^th. The residents who attended elected a new board member Bruce Geyman. We welcome Bruce who lives at 11444 with his wife Nan Dearborn and daughter Zoe.  Bruce has been a regular cluster volunteer over the years and he looks forward to bringing his cluster experience to the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors re-elected John Melnick board as board president and elected Aimee Freeman as the board vice president.  The board reported sound finances and steady management of our cluster assets.  I have attached a directory of the current Waterview Cluster Board of Directors and Appointees.  My priorities this board year (May 2014-May 2015) are entrance signage and establishing a covenants committee.

RELAC start date

I thought the community might find this information useful.  I received this email from RELAC yesterday.


RELAC is ready for the season and we will start cooling operations this Thursday May 8th, 2014.

Note that Chimney House Road will be offline until the Heron House switches from heating to cooling.
We are working with the engineers and will update you when that happens.

Our second year of ownership begins on May 30 and we are planning a public meeting at the RA facilities at the end of this month.

As soon as RA gives us a day that their conference room is available we will announce the date.  This meeting will detail
the improvements we made last year, planned capital investments for this year, re-evaluation of flat rate
fees, and much more.


Thanks

Air conditioning- www.Restonrelac.com  703-349-3301. Our home cooling system uses water from Lake Anne which is distributed by the utility RestonRelac.  Air Conditioning services begin after the second 80 degree day or May 22 through October 9^th. Houses can be on a metered or flat rate billing system.  RestonRelac will perform a free check-up on your a/c system and can provide referrals for repairs. Residents wishing to install independent cooling units must be approved by RA.

 

Boat registration and marina reservations The WV Cluster marina can be used for resident events and residents can store private watercraft. Boats need be registered though the WV clusters board. A sticker is provided to indicate a registered boat. Acceptable watercraft include: canoes, kayaks, rowboats and small sailboats. Watercraft should be stored on the boat racks located on either side of the marina. Gas powered watercraft are not allowed on Lake Anne. Pontoon boats can be owned by residents with waterfront homes. Pontoons are not stored in the WV marina. To register a boat or an event at the marina, contact Lisa Climo at 703-709-6169 lclimo@msn.com

 

Dues TWC Association Management bills WV owners for HOA dues quarterly. There is a 10% late fee for bills paid after 30 days from the due date. Unpaid HOA bills can result in collection action and liens on the residence.  Each year at the annual meeting the cluster announces the amount of the next year’s HOA dues.  Small yearly increases are common to maintain the required capital reserves. TWC can be contacted at 703-437-5800 and info@twcmanagement.com. Timely payment of your HOA dues is vital for WV Cluster operations.

 

Events and Home Owners Association meetings-Cluster Work Days will be held in the spring and fall each year. Suggested tasks are provided by the landscape committee. There are coffee and donuts to start the day and lunch at the marina with the board providing grillables and beverages and residents bringing sides and deserts. The next WV HOA General Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday May 7^th 7:30PM at the Reston Community Center Lake Anne.  There will be another members meeting in December TBA. WV Cluster board meetings and Landscape Committee meetings are held monthly and the time and date is posted on the cluster web site http://waterviewcluster.org/.  Board meeting minutes and landscape committee minutes are also posted on the WV web site.

 

Exterior Home improvement projects, painting, and tree removal Review the cluster handbook before starting an exterior project. Application forms for some exterior home improvement projects and tree removal can be found on www.Reston.Org (Reston DRB forms).  The application forms require the signatures of two adjoining neighbors and a board officer.  Available house and roof color pallets are available from the WV board.  Painting WV cluster front doors does not require color approval.

Parking and Carports WV carport spaces are owned by the cluster and leased by original assignment to WV addresses. Some addresses have a carport, others do not. Home owners cannot sell their assigned carport spaces.   Parking in a carport is reserved for the Owners of properties assigned a carport who pay an addition HOA fee for carport use. Carports leased to residents must be kept clean and uncluttered. General cluster parking is shared by cluster residents. Please be respectful of your neighbors when parking in the general areas.  Cars using WV Cluster parking must be residents and have valid tags and inspections. Recreational vehicles are not permitted in WV Cluster parking areas. For recreational vehicle storage see www.Reston.Org.  

 

Pools- Residents obtain a pool pass for pool entry from Reston Association. The pass is good at all Reston Association pools.  Visitors can pay an entrance fee. Our closest pool is North Shore and it is a heated pool. It opens the middle of May and stays open after labor day.  See pool information on the www.Reston.Org web site.  Residents can use all of Reston’s pools with their pool pass.   

Reston Association www.Reston.org  Used for pool pass information, home improvement approval forms, Reston events, fields and parks, elected officers, camps, classes, and other available resources. Live, work, play!

Security and Police- Police non-emergency phone number is 703-691-2131. Report all suspicious activity to police and the cluster board. Inform the board if streetlights are out in the parking area and trails and any other security concerns.  The board recommends always locking houses, cars, carport storage, boats, bikes, and other outside valuables and using outside lighting.  Motion sensors were installed in all carports. Report any non- working sensors to the board. 

 

Trash, recycling and brush collection- Mondays and Thursdays for trash and recycling . Brush and yard waste is collected Wednesdays March through December. It is best to have your trash cans on the curbs no earlier than dusk the day before pickup. Trash cans should be put away by the evening of the pickup day.  .  Brush waste must be bagged and sticks short and tied. Our trash contractor collects most types of trash without calling for a special trash pickup. The cluster board will inform residents on dates for fall leave collection and holiday tree collection. The AAA web site is http://www.republicservices.com. Replacement cans and recycling cans are available from AAA.

**The WV Cluster Board suggests that owners and residents familiarize themselves with the Cluster Handbook. It is available for review on the Cluster Web Site http://waterviewcluster.org/. The WV board encourages participation in Cluster committees and events.  We share a wonderful place to live and working together we make it home.
