FEBRUARY 2021
Don’t forget Farmstead has a website –there is a LOT of information about the Farmstead community and happenings on the page - log onto Farmstead Commons.com – if you need the Owners only password, please call the office at 358-0040.
Thank you to everyone who attended the annual meeting on January 23. Each Owner should have received a copy of the meeting minutes. If for some reason you did not, please contact my office and I will get you a copy. As a reminder – the condo fees increased $20 per month ($204/$214) effective February 1, 2021. If you sent the old amount, it is ok to add the $20 to your March payment.
The Board of Directors meets each month. They meet the third Thursday at 8:30 am. Currently they are meeting via Google meet. When weather allows, they meet outside on site at Farmstead. If anyone wants to attend the meetings they need to contact CB Property Management (358-0040 or email cbpmdiane@aol.com) at least three (3) days prior to the meeting so that an invite can be forwarded to them. This also allows us to contact any owner wanting to attend a meeting should the meeting be postponed for any reason.
Winter is here!!! Please move your vehicles for the plows when they’re working on site so our parking lots stay clear and safe. During a storm they will continuously keep the driving areas open and sidewalks cleared. When the storm ends they will return for clean up – THIS is when you need to move your cars so all parking spaces can be cleared and treated completely. Please remember that when you don’t move (1) you could be towed without any advanced notice – we don’t like to do that but have done it before and will do it again (2) even though you think it only affects your space when you don’t move, it affects the spaces on either side of your parking space as well. When not able to be cleared snow can freeze and become a lumpy uneven safety concern for all the neighboring spaces when a car isn’t moved. (3) If you move your car later and the plows have to make a special trip to clear your area, you can be invoiced for the cost of the additional clean up return trip.
When you move your vehicle you can park it in your carport (if it’s not already occupied.) You can also park temporarily in the “safe parking” area on the Entrance Road closest to Base Hill Road but return your vehicle to your usual parking space when White’s plows are done.
And, while we’re on the subject of snow: if snow falls off the carport roofs, please call CBPM. White’s checks the property regularly, but snow can slide off at any time (even just after they leave) and we’d rather have four calls about fallen snow and get it removed than have the piles remain and freeze in place.
The Rules and Regulations of Farmstead Commons were updated effective July 2019. Every Owner was sent a copy at that time. If you need another copy you can go to the Farmstead website (farmsteadcommons.com), on the banner of the homepage, just click on Rules and Regulations to review, download or print. On this same page is a link to the Recycling guidelines. A password is not needed to access this information. If you do not have internet/computer access you can contact CB Property and we can send you a copy.
We hope you enjoy the February holidays. Keep your eyes peeled for spring. It’ll be here before you know it and won’t we all be happy then?
