Q: Why haven’t sections of the perimeter fence that need repair been addressed? ^ top
|
| A: |
The Association does not have the funds to complete the necessary repairs. Unfortunately,
the day-to-day expenses of the Association have gone up more that the amount of
homeowner assessments that the Board can collect, so repairs are being postponed until
funds are available. The Board has presented proposed amendments to the Association’s
Declarations to allow them to increase the assessments as needed in order to be able to
properly care for the Association. More information about the amendments or how to submit
your vote can be found at www.smokyridge.org.

Q: What does the HOA do to ensure that homeowners are taking care of their property? ^ top
|
| A: |
Per the Board’s direction, CPMG performs routine inspections of the property to check for
violations to the Association’s Declarations. Homeowners are obligated to maintain their
homes in an attractive manner. Violation letters are issued for things like homes that need to
be painted, yards that are not maintained, fences that are damaged and driveways with oil
stains.

|
Q: Why am I receiving a violation letter when the condition of my neighbor’s home is worse? ^ top
|
| A: |
The Association is obligated to enforce the rules uniformly. All violations are noted and letters
are sent following the routine inspections or written complaints received from homeowners. In
many cases, the homes in the worst condition are in the process of foreclosure. Although the
Board of Directors assesses fines for the violations, many banks or homeowners who have
abandoned the property still do not resolve the issue in a timely manner and the Board is
stuck in an unfortunate situation hoping for a new responsible owner to purchase the
property.

Q: How does the Board determine the amount of the annual assessment? ^ top
|
| A: |
The Board of Directors prepares and annual budget each year after researching annual
contract amounts, looking at the need for repairs in the community and the historical trend of
annual expenditures. Currently, the Board can only increase the assessment in an amount
equal to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Unfortunately, the cost of doing business for the
Association has increased at an amount greater than the CPI, so many repairs have been
postponed, services cut and discretionary spending items like the community picnic have
been eliminated in an attempt to make ends meet.
