Condo VII – August 2026
We would like to extend our condolences to the family of Scott Manchin, one of our residents, who recently passed away.
Get well wishes go out to Patricia (Pat) Savary as she recovers from a recent fall. We hope that your recovery will go well and that you will soon be back to your regular activities.
Condo VII Annual/Election Meeting
Our annual meeting and elections will be held on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
As per the prospectus, three seats expire at the end of each fiscal year – September 30th. Any homeowner in good standing, including incumbents, is eligible to run for the Board. This is a volunteer position that requires a commitment of time and energy. Board members do not get paid. If you are interested in running for the board, please leave a note at the HOA office or send an email to the Condo’s email address – brettonwoodscondo7@gmail.com – and we will provide you with the application. If you have questions about serving on the Board, leave a note at the office or send an email, and a Board member will contact you. Applications should be addressed to the Condo VII Board and must be hand delivered to the office or postmarked by September 11, 2026. Any applications received after that date will not be accepted. Board nominations will not be taken from the floor at the time of the meeting.
Proxies will be mailed by the end of August. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please return your signed proxy to the HOA office to the attention of Condo VII or give it to a homeowner who will be attending the meeting. Please note that proxies must be assigned to either a homeowner in good standing who is attending the meeting or to the Condo VII Board. Any proxies left blank or assigned incorrectly will be voided. We must have a quorum in order for the election to be held.
Insurance
As we told you in the July newsletter, due to a claim/lawsuit filed against the Condo, our current insurance company dropped our coverage. At the time this newsletter is being written, our broker is working on finalizing new coverage for us. Unfortunately, we will be paying substantially more in premiums, and the increased cost will be reflected in our common charges. This is not an easy decision for the Board; however, we cannot be without insurance, and this is one of those expenses we don’t have much control over.
Pending Work
On our to-do list for the remainder of the current fiscal year are siding, gutter, and concrete repairs as well as the replacement of one of the Hilltop Ct basement doors. During July we met with vendors and worked out a schedule for the completion of the work.
Basement Schedule for August
Saturday, August 8 – 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Saturday, August 29 – 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Parking
Back-in parking is not permitted.
You cannot park in front of a fire hydrant; in a spot marked “No Parking”; in a spot that has zebra striping; in a handicap marked spot without a handicap parking permit displayed in your car; or in a spot that blocks access to a walkway. These rules apply to both residents and their guests. Cars parked in any of these spots will be towed at the owner’s expense.
If you are going to be away or not using your car for seven or more days, we request you move it into one of our long-term parking spots. There are eight spots in PP29, four on each side of the wooded area.
If you are not a resident of Condo 7, we respectfully request you not leave your car parked in one of our plazas for days at a time. Your respective condos should have long-term parking spots available for your use.
Reminder
Other than changing a flat tire, car repairs are not permitted anywhere in our parking plazas or on the street. If we see you making repairs, your gate and recreational passes will be rescinded for a period of thirty days.
