new resident handbook - Brambleton Community Association
brambleton community association NEW RESIDENT HANDBOOK December 2011 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL MANAGER Welcome to Brambleton The Brambleton Community Association Board of Directors and the Association staff would like to welcome you to Brambleton. We are delighted that you have decided to make Brambleton your new home town. We hope that you have had a pleasant home buying experience and that you are comfortably settling into the community. Understandably, you are busy unpacking boxes, hanging pictures, and meeting your neighbors. To help make your transition easier, the Brambleton Community Association has put together a New Resident Handbook. The handbook is designed to provide new Brambleton residents with an overview of the community and an easy to use reference guide with answers to essential questions pertaining to Brambleton and its Homeowners Association. While this handbook is full of great community information, it is the Association’s goal that all residents take full advantage of two important resources; 1) The Association staff, for any questions you may have regarding the community and 2) the community website, www.brambletonhoa.com, which is the primary communication tool for the Association and where all residents are strongly encouraged to register. Purchasing a new home and settling in can be a busy time. Take time for yourself and visit one of Brambleton’s parks, recreational amenities or the Brambleton Town Center to take a well deserved break. We look forward to meeting you and wish you the absolute best with getting settled here in Brambleton. Welcome home!

New Resident Handbook 3 Living in an Association Brambleton Community Association, Inc. (BCA or the Association), is a Virginia non-stock, non-profit corporation. There are three features that make home ownership in a community association different from traditional home ownership. • You automatically become a member of the Association when you take ownership of your home and must abide by all Association rules and regulations. • You are required to pay a monthly assessment that is used to maintain the common areas and provide various community related services. • You share ownership of common land and have access to Association facilities such as pools, tennis courts, trails and other various amenities. The affairs of the Association are governed by federal law, state statute and important Association documents such as the Declaration, Bylaws & Design Guidelines. Upon purchasing a home in Brambleton, a Disclosure Package is provided with all of the Association’s governing documents. This package is often provided in electronic form. For your convenience, all of the Association’s documents are also available on our community website www. brambletonhoa.com. Brambleton’s Board of Directors is entrusted with the fiduciary responsibility of the Association. The Board sets policy and directs the affairs of the Association in accordance with the governing documents, legal requirements and good business practices. 4 Brambleton Community Association Association Management While the board sets policy and directs Association affairs, the Association’s day-to-day operations are managed by onsite staff through FirstService Residential (FSR).

New Resident Handbook 7 A Greener Brambleton Brambleton Community Association continuously seeks to be a “Green” steward of its operation, land and environment. ADMINISTRATION, COMMUNICATION & EDUCATION: • In general, Brambleton Community Association (BCA) strives to operate in a manner that considers practical and effective actions that are in the best interest of the environment and association. This approach has resulted in an environmentally conscious operation and administration. • BCA communications to its residents are primarily electronic. All weekly e-bulletins, monthly newsletters and other general notices are sent electronically via email through the community website and Facebook. This cuts down on the use and cost associated with paper, postage and related waste. • Association staff gives back to the larger Loudoun environmental community by being involved with Keep Loudoun Beautiful. GROUNDS & FACILITIES: • BCA uses non-phosphorous fertilizers on all its common areas; and encourages residents to do the same. • The BCA dog waste stations reduce the levels of nitrogen from local streams. • Geese Police K9 services patrols the ponds which reduces the amount of waste and nitrogen that originates in Brambleton. • Brambleton marks all the storm drains as a way to reduce illegal dumping down the drains and educate the residents. • Pond aeration systems are installed as a way to reduce the amount of algae in the pond and reduce the amount of chemicals used to treat the algae. • Green cleaning chemicals are used at all of the BCA facilities. BCA requires its pool management contractor to do the same. TRASH & RECYCLING: 8 • BCA provides single-stream recycling to its residents for ease of recycling (1x weekly). • BCA supplies 32 or 64 gallon recycling toters to all residents to encourage greater recycling. This action doubled the amount of trash that is recycled in each household. • RecycleBank incentive program is available to all BCA residents at no extra cost. • BCA provides yard debris collection (1X weekly) to all its residents as a way to reduce illegal dumping of yard debris in the storm drains and natural areas. • Recycling bins are available at all BCA facilities. Brambleton Community Association Assessment Payment Options Lockbox — Payments can be made by check or money order and mailed to the lockbox post office box (P.O. Box 11983 Newark, NJ 07101) with a payment coupon. Payment coupons are mailed to all owners that are NOT signed up for Automatic Debit at the beginning of each association’s fiscal year. If an account is in collection or at the attorney the payment is sent to an exception queue by the lockbox provider, Klik, to be reviewed by FirstService Residential accounting staff for restrictive endorsements prior to processing. Direct Debit — Owners can sign up for the Direct Debit Program with FirstService Residential Management directly (not the association). With this program, the owner authorizes the management company to withdraw the recurring assessment amount out of a bank account of their choosing (checking or savings) on the first day of the payment cycle (i.e. monthly, quarterly, etc.) via ACH transfer. PayLease — Owners can logon to PayLease via the FirstService Residential Management website (www.fsresidential. com). Through PayLease, owners may make one-time or recurring e-check or credit card payments. The owner determines the amount they wish to pay, the frequency they wish to pay it, and the day of the month the payment is automatically withdrawn. PayLease processing fees apply for all credit card payments, as well as for one-time e-checks. Recurring e-checks are processed at no charge to the owner. Generally, PayLease payments take 72 hours to process. A rush payment process of 24 hours can be requested by the owner, at an additional charge. Reminder — Assessment payments are not accepted onsite due to the fact they are processed as of the date of receipt at the bank or in the Accounting Department. Also, cash cannot be accepted at the FirstService Residential Management offices or at onsite offices for assessments or other income. E-Klik — Some owners may choose to pay their assessments using their own personal online bill paying service. FirstService Residential Management’s lockbox provider, Klik, has partnered with several online bill pay service clearing houses, such as Fiserv and RPPS, to be able to receive these payment New Resident Handbook 9 Association Communications Brambleton Community Association offers a variety of ways for residents to stay current with community events and Association matters. www.BrambletonHOA.com Visit the website for everything related to Brambleton Community Association (BCA).

The Activities Committee, which consists of dedicated resident volunteers, along with BCA staff plans and organizes a wide range of community events year round. There truly is something for everyone here in Brambleton. Festivals There are two main festivals that take place each year in Brambleton, Red, White and BRAM and the Fall Festival. The community gathers to enjoy food vendors, amusements, kids entertainment, live band performances, fireworks and so much more. Aside from the wonderful festivities that these two big events deliver, you can expect to experience an overwhelming sense of camaraderie and community with your fellow neighbors. Community Yard Sale The spring and fall community yard sale gives the residents an opportunity to clean out their storage, attics and garages. The Community Center serves as a Marketplace for residents who wish to bring their items to sell from their own “reserved” space. A map which lists resident addresses and specific items for sale is also available for all yard sale attendees. Summer Fun While school is out and the weather is warm, there are many outdoor events to enjoy. Summer kicks off with an outdoor concert series at the Brambleton Town Center which features live band performances every other Thursday evening. The pool season starts off with an end-of-the-school year pool party and fun water activities. We can’t forget our canine companions’ Doggone Wild pool party where they are able to take a dip in the pool for the last dog days of summer. Camps Summer is such an active time of the year and with kids on break, what better activity than summer camp. Brambleton hosts a variety of camps including Overtime Athletics Sports Camp, Drama Camp and Art Camp. As our community grows and more facilities are built, more camp opportunities will become available. Programming Whether it’s swimming, boot camp, dance, art classes or photography, Brambleton has programming available for residents of all ages. As we continue to grow, more programs will be added. Groups and Clubs From Playgroup to Swim Team, Toastmasters to Running, residents are able to connect with neighbors by joining a community group or club.

New Resident Handbook 17 Common Area Upkeep and Maintenance The Brambleton Community Association is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of all common areas and related improvements throughout Brambleton in accordance to the deeds filed with the county and at such time the parcel has been accepted by the Association. There is an acceptance process in place that provides for the proper transfer of such areas and improvements from the Developer to the Association. The Association primarily uses various contractors to complete necessary maintenance tasks. Concerns or questions related to the following examples should be forwarded to the staff at the Brambleton Management Office. • Turf and landscape maintenance on common areas and within landscape easements • Snow removal and street maintenance on private townhome streets, common drives, and ingress/egress easements assigned to the association • Maintenance of amenities or structures located on common areas such as pools, playgrounds, trails, courts, etc. • Pond maintenance including trash removal and algae control There are other organizations that maintain grounds and facilities within Brambleton.

Community Covenants Living within a planned urban development governed by a community association provides many benefits, while at the same time requiring compliance with certain protective restrictions. It is important for you to understand your rights and obligations as a member of the Association. Prior to your settlement you should have received copies of all relevant legal documents for the Association from the seller of your home. You are encouraged to read these materials thoroughly, become familiar with them, and retain them for future reference. Brambleton began with a vision and purpose for the development of our community; establish and maintain gracious architectural qualities of neighborhood living with well designed homes and thoughtfully placed landscaping. This style reflects attention to preserving the open park-like settings and integration of community amenities. The 18 Brambleton Community Association look of Brambleton gives our community its unique appeal, and superb property value. In order to preserve this quality-of-life, the Brambleton Group established protective covenants that have guided Brambleton’s development. Brambleton covenants “run with the land” meaning they are attached to, and benefit the land in perpetuity. Even though you may not be the original purchaser, the covenants continue to bind your property, and will be binding on all subsequent owners. It is the responsibility of each owner to ensure tenants, household members and guests are aware of and abide by the community covenants. Preservation of the Brambleton covenants is facilitated by property owners working together through their community association. The Brambleton Covenants Committee is empowered to consider violations of the Association documents and to take enforcement actions. The committee also guides homeowners through the design review process to preserve high standards, protect property values and enhance the aesthetic of the neighborhood. The Association staff can assist you with questions or concerns regarding our community covenants and all of the governing documents are available on the community intranet.
