(Click here for a complete copy of the Revised Rules and Regulations)

At the November Board of Director’s Meeting the Board approved a few additions to the Rules and Regulations of Hickory Woods Condominium Association. The discussion related to Real Estate Agents (Section 7.1b) began during the Board meeting and was completed as an action after the meeting, with an email vote by the Board members.

These changes relate to:
1. Architectural Changes (Section 4.1d and e), contractors must be licensed and insured, and requests must be submitted within 30 days of regular Board meetings,
2. Sale of Units and Realtors showing the clubhouse, (Section 7.1) realtors can show the clubhouse if they meet certain conditions and the selling unit owner assumes responsibility,
3. Donations (new Section 10), a process is defined for soliciting donations, and rules for unsolicited donations are defined, and
4. Home Businesses (new Section 11), a process and procedure for notifying the Board and obtaining approval is defined.

Each of these revisions resulted from recent issues.

The addition at 4.1 e may need some explanation. This addition is because our By-Laws state that requests must be answered within 30 days or they are automatically approved. Your Board does not meet every month and the time between meetings can sometimes be more than 30 days. So a request submitted just after a meeting, for example, might not be acted upon for more than 30 days. This unusual situation is what generated this addition to the rules.

The other changes should be self explanatory. However, if you would like clarification or additional information on any of them please contact the Board at bod-input@hwcommunity.info.

Sincerely,

The Hickory Woods Board of Directors
