2012 Access Fees are now due:

            This is a courtesy notice to inform you that your 2012 Access fees are due. The Board of Directors approved an increase of $20 to the access fees for 2012 which was reviewed at the B.P.O.A. meeting in October. The new amount is $215 which is DUE for the property you own in Beechview Recreational Development, Clifton Tn. The Access fees are due now through June 1, 2012. Access fees must be paid for each and every occupied lot.  You owe at least one Access Fee even if your property is not being occupied/used. An occupied lot is defined as a lot that has a House (being used or not), Travel Trailer, or an RV on the lot for more than 2 weeks. If you have more than one Travel Trailer or RV on a lot for more than two weeks, you must pay an additional access fee (Pop-Up campers and Tents are not included) for each one. We will periodically check to see if there are more campers on the lots then what was paid for, so please pay up front so no further action has to take place.

            All payments received after the June 1^st, 2012 date will be assessed a $25 late fee. If we do not receive payment, we will forward the names to our attorney for further legal action and you will be required to pay additional fees. If for some reason you believe that you do not owe an access fee (sold the property, paid already, or other reasons) please contact us in writing stating your claim and we will investigate it.

 

Please pay by mail to the following address and make checks payable to B.P.O.A.;

There will be a short meeting for the newly elected Board of Directors right after the standard B.P.O.A. meeting to elect the 2012 Officers.

Petition to abolish the B.P.O.A.:

            Some of you may have received a petition from Julian Moore regarding abolishing the B.P.O.A. I’d like to clear up some of the confusion that her and her attorney have regarding how we operate as a Board of Directors and the B. P. O A. Her attorney obviously had only the information that she had provided to him which was far from complete. In my opinion, it was unfair of him to give an opinion with the lack of information and misinformation that was provided to him. There are minutes for every decision, election and actions the B.P.O.A. has taken. The B.P.O.A. has operated within the confines of the laws pertaining property owners associations per our attorney. The letter pretty much made it clear that they are confused regarding how and what decisions are made by the Board of Directors and the B.P.O.A.

           

            Our By-laws that were reference in her letter dictate how we operate as Property Owners Association I.E.; Members in Good Standing, Elections, Quorums, Communications, Enforcement of the Covenants and Roles and Responsibilities. The decisions that the Board of Directors are responsible for are managing the access fee money and determining what maintenance and enhancements that need to be completed for the development as per the Assignment and Agreement (Addendum to the Covenants)  dated Oct. 2, 2000.  

            The Covenants (The Legal Document name is Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) govern what you can and cannot do with your property I.E.; Building restrictions, Land use, Easements and Water & Sewer conditions. Any changes to the Covenants require two-thirds (2/3) of lot owners to agree to make a change. The past example of this was the collection of signatures of two-thirds (2/3)of lot owners that allowed toppers to be put over campers.

            The B.P.O.A. has NOT and does NOT make any decisions regarding changes to the Covenants. The B.P.O.A. is responsible for the enforcement of those rules only and any changes would require the two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Lot Property Owners.

            So as you can see there is a difference in the 2 documents and how we make decisions. The Board of Directors can agree that there are aspects of how the Covenants were set up that we don’t like as well.  But if we were to abolish the B.P.O.A. as suggested by Julian Moore, the management of the access fees would go back to the Beechview Corporation and they would be solely responsible for any maintenance and enhancements and increases to those fees without ANY involvement/voting of the Property Owners. The Beechview Corporation would only be required to come to us for a vote if there were any changes to the covenants which would require the two-thirds (2/3) vote .

             If you or anyone has a concern on how we are managing the B.P.O.A. please get involved, get on the board, and attend all of the meetings to know what is going on. I just wish the couple of Property Owners who have this issue would have spent their time, energy and money that was spent on this and re-direct it toward improving our community and stop living in the past. As the old saying goes: Be careful what you ask for…

 

ATV Traffic:

            We are asking that property owners to continue to monitor the speed of your children on ATV’s within Beechview. There are posted speed limit signs so please follow the speed limit so we do not have to get the local authorities involved. The last thing we all want is to have someone get hurt or personal property being destroyed.

      

The Bath House:

            The bath house will be opened this season from May 1^st though October 31st. We are accepting bids for the bath house cleaning and grass cutting again this year. We ask that property owners who see anyone vandalizing the bath house or any property to contact a member of the Board of Directors as soon as possible.

Trash:

       The dumpster get emptied every other Friday. We want to make sure that all property owners are aware that these dumpsters are for normal household trash.. Building supplies and other miscellaneous big items are not allowed in the dumpster unless you talk to one of the Board of Director Officers and get approval.

 

Boat Ramp:

            Our dock is to be used for boaters to launch their boats. If you have a need to park your boat at the ramp it should not be left tied up for more than 15 minutes and it should NOT restrict other boaters from using the ramp. The dock is NOT to be used for swimming, fishing or any other purpose other than launching a boat.

 

Boat Trailer Parking:

            Only Beechview property owner vehicles with a watercraft trailer attached are allowed to park in the designated area. The trailers must have a Beechview sticker on the trailer or have a temporary visitor pass in their vehicle. Vehicles will be ticketed and repeat offenders will be towed at the owner’s expense. If you do not have a sticker for your trailer please see any one of the Board of Directors. Unauthorized vehicles without trailers are subject to be towed at the owner’s expense.

 

Road Projects:

            The 2011 Board of Directors agreed to take the money we had left in 2011 and carry it over to 2012 so we could complete a larger road repair project in 2012. We are going to try to have the work completed before the Memorial weekend if possible but that has to be finalized and approved by the new Board of Directors in April 2012.

 

In Closing:

            I’d like to thank everybody who has helped this past year by donating their time and efforts to improve our community. None of us are paid to serve on this board and we spend a lot of our own time on things that you the property owner never see.  We all do this because we have a common goal which is to improve our community. We ask that you get involved with your community either by attending meetings or volunteering for work that may be needed in our community. It should be the collective goal of all of us to make our community a better place for everyone to enjoy. So please make it a point in 2012 to get involved.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        Tony Mills

                                  B.P.O.A. President

            All payments received after the June 1^st, 2012 date will be assessed a $25 late fee. If we do not receive payment, we will forward the names to our attorney for further legal action and you will be required to pay additional fees. If for some reason you believe that you do not owe an access fee (sold the property, paid already, or other reasons) please contact us in writing stating your claim and we will investigate it.

 

Please pay by mail to the following address and make checks payable to B.P.O.A.;

Petition to abolish the B.P.O.A.:

            Some of you may have received a petition from Julian Moore regarding abolishing the B.P.O.A. I’d like to clear up some of the confusion that her and her attorney have regarding how we operate as a Board of Directors and the B. P. O A. Her attorney obviously had only the information that she had provided to him which was far from complete. In my opinion, it was unfair of him to give an opinion with the lack of information and misinformation that was provided to him. There are minutes for every decision, election and actions the B.P.O.A. has taken. The B.P.O.A. has operated within the confines of the laws pertaining property owners associations per our attorney. The letter pretty much made it clear that they are confused regarding how and what decisions are made by the Board of Directors and the B.P.O.A.

           

            Our By-laws that were reference in her letter dictate how we operate as Property Owners Association I.E.; Members in Good Standing, Elections, Quorums, Communications, Enforcement of the Covenants and Roles and Responsibilities. The decisions that the Board of Directors are responsible for are managing the access fee money and determining what maintenance and enhancements that need to be completed for the development as per the Assignment and Agreement (Addendum to the Covenants)  dated Oct. 2, 2000.  

            The Covenants (The Legal Document name is Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions) govern what you can and cannot do with your property I.E.; Building restrictions, Land use, Easements and Water & Sewer conditions. Any changes to the Covenants require two-thirds (2/3) of lot owners to agree to make a change. The past example of this was the collection of signatures of two-thirds (2/3)of lot owners that allowed toppers to be put over campers.

            The B.P.O.A. has NOT and does NOT make any decisions regarding changes to the Covenants. The B.P.O.A. is responsible for the enforcement of those rules only and any changes would require the two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Lot Property Owners.

            So as you can see there is a difference in the 2 documents and how we make decisions. The Board of Directors can agree that there are aspects of how the Covenants were set up that we don’t like as well.  But if we were to abolish the B.P.O.A. as suggested by Julian Moore, the management of the access fees would go back to the Beechview Corporation and they would be solely responsible for any maintenance and enhancements and increases to those fees without ANY involvement/voting of the Property Owners. The Beechview Corporation would only be required to come to us for a vote if there were any changes to the covenants which would require the two-thirds (2/3) vote .

             If you or anyone has a concern on how we are managing the B.P.O.A. please get involved, get on the board, and attend all of the meetings to know what is going on. I just wish the couple of Property Owners who have this issue would have spent their time, energy and money that was spent on this and re-direct it toward improving our community and stop living in the past. As the old saying goes: Be careful what you ask for…

 

ATV Traffic:

            We are asking that property owners to continue to monitor the speed of your children on ATV’s within Beechview. There are posted speed limit signs so please follow the speed limit so we do not have to get the local authorities involved. The last thing we all want is to have someone get hurt or personal property being destroyed.

      

The Bath House:

            The bath house will be opened this season from May 1^st though October 31st. We are accepting bids for the bath house cleaning and grass cutting again this year. We ask that property owners who see anyone vandalizing the bath house or any property to contact a member of the Board of Directors as soon as possible.

Trash:

       The dumpster get emptied every other Friday. We want to make sure that all property owners are aware that these dumpsters are for normal household trash.. Building supplies and other miscellaneous big items are not allowed in the dumpster unless you talk to one of the Board of Director Officers and get approval.

 

Boat Ramp:

            Our dock is to be used for boaters to launch their boats. If you have a need to park your boat at the ramp it should not be left tied up for more than 15 minutes and it should NOT restrict other boaters from using the ramp. The dock is NOT to be used for swimming, fishing or any other purpose other than launching a boat.

 

Boat Trailer Parking:

            Only Beechview property owner vehicles with a watercraft trailer attached are allowed to park in the designated area. The trailers must have a Beechview sticker on the trailer or have a temporary visitor pass in their vehicle. Vehicles will be ticketed and repeat offenders will be towed at the owner’s expense. If you do not have a sticker for your trailer please see any one of the Board of Directors. Unauthorized vehicles without trailers are subject to be towed at the owner’s expense.

 

Road Projects:

            The 2011 Board of Directors agreed to take the money we had left in 2011 and carry it over to 2012 so we could complete a larger road repair project in 2012. We are going to try to have the work completed before the Memorial weekend if possible but that has to be finalized and approved by the new Board of Directors in April 2012.

 

In Closing:

            I’d like to thank everybody who has helped this past year by donating their time and efforts to improve our community. None of us are paid to serve on this board and we spend a lot of our own time on things that you the property owner never see.  We all do this because we have a common goal which is to improve our community. We ask that you get involved with your community either by attending meetings or volunteering for work that may be needed in our community. It should be the collective goal of all of us to make our community a better place for everyone to enjoy. So please make it a point in 2012 to get involved.

                                        Sincerely,

                                        Tony Mills

There is still more to improve but it will take all of us working together not just a few to make our community a better place for all of us to enjoy.                                              Tony Mills
