Dear Homeowners,
The Board has created amendments to the documents for our Homes Association, had them approved by our attorney, and they are now ready to be presented to the community. The new documents set the minimum assessment at $60. The only way the amount can be raised is by a vote of the Homeowners at the annual meeting. The Board of Directors cannot raise the assessment amount without the homeowners approval at the meeting.
In addition to the Amendments to the Declaration of the Woodson Estates Homes Association, we have also revised the Declaration of Restrictions. Since each plat of our Association was built at a different time, there were slight differences in the restrictions between plats. Our changes standardize the Restrictions to be the same for all plats. We have also created a way to have a fine structure to enforce restrictions with fine amounts set by Homeowners at the annual meeting.
The Restrictions were also updated in two important ways. First, we removed the requirement that your neighbors on either side be notified when you have a contract to sell your property, and give them the opportunity to buy at the same price. This type of restriction could be used to discriminate and does not reflect the values of our Association. Second, we changed the restriction on having an outbuilding or a shed. We now allow for that, but with specific building requirements.
The new documents can be found here. We ask that you support these changes and sign these documents. We require two-thirds of the Homeowners to approve these documents for them to be enacted.
Please mail the signed documents to PO Box 16582, Raytown, MO 64133. If you have any questions, please contact me or another Homes Association Board member. Click here to access the Board contact information. My phone number and email are listed below as well.
Sincerely,
The Woodson Estates Homes Association Board of Directors
