Weathersfield 2020 Monthly Assessments

As approved by vote of the homeowners at the Annual General Meeting in November, Weathersfield Service Group monthly assessments have increased to $310 beginning in January 2020.  As a reminder, monthly assessments are due the first day of each month.  The HOA does not send monthly statements unless an account is 30 days past due and assessed a $20 late fee.  Please see the collection policy for further information.

As a reminder, Berkeley Property Management has been purchased and is now Mill House Properties, located at 1720 East Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.

Make Check or Money Orders out to WSG VI and mail to:

As stated in a letter sent to all homeowners in December, Mill House Properties is transitioning to a new online system (AppFolio) in late January.  It will offer a convenient way for homeowners to set up an online account to see their account history and balances, pay monthly assessments online (fee for credit cards), in addition to other benefits. Homeowners who have completed and returned the contact information form included in the December letter will receive an email invitation from AppFolio when the system is “live.”  A copy of the contact information form can be found here.

If you are currently enrolled in monthly auto draft, this will continue until Mill House Properties has completed transitioning to AppFolio.  You will be notified if any changes to this process occur with the new system.  The monthly draft normally takes place on approximately the 5th business day; however, the draft will be delayed this January while Mill House Properties transitions to the new system.

Please email Mill House Properties’ finance department at hoafinance@millhouseproperties.com with any further questions.

 

Minor Correction Needed to 2020 FHA Directory

The beautiful new Fearrington Homeowners Association Directory recently delivered to our front porches contains one minor error. The Directory lists an inaccurate address for our new management company, Mill House Properties.  The correct address is 1720 E. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27312.  Please adjust your records accordingly.

Tree Pruning Will Begin Tuesday, November 26

Davey Tree will begin a large tree pruning project on Tuesday, 11/26/19.  They will continue work on Tuesday, 12/3/19.  They may possibly need a third day.  This is just the beginning of the major tree work project scheduled for the entire community.  Pruning/tree removal that is not completed in December will be completed in the January/February 2020 timeframe.  The Tree Pruning signs will be out for the next several weeks in December and then taken down.  They will be put up again when the January/February work continues.  We request that homeowners refrain from stopping the workers to question or make requests.  We have a contract and Davey Tree will honor only those items on it.  As a reminder, Davey Tree did a complete walk throughout the property in early fall to determine what needed pruning or removal based on safely concerns and preservation of roofs.

Fall Leaf Cleanup Planned

Ruppert will be on the premises on Thursday, November 14 or Friday, November 15, 2019, to blow the leaves off walkways, only.  They will be on site on Wednesday, November 20, 2019, to do regular maintenance, branch and brown bag pick up, and blow all areas for leaves.

NC Division of Highways Road Work

You probably have seen the roadwork along the sides of Weathersfield Road this week.  The WSG Board has called NC Division of Highways to learn the reason behind the grading work.  The Highway Division says the work is to address drainage problems.  They plan to repair damage caused by their work by reseeding the road shoulders and covering with straw.  There is no date as yet for when the repairs will be done.

You will notice this work is continuing along Millcroft and other roads in Fearrington.  Weathersfield and the other roads are state roads and NC Division of Highways has the right of access and maintenance.  Your WSG Board will continue to follow developments and keep the Division of Highways aware of their responsibility to repair the damage to the roadsides their work has caused.
