    We recently had the Annual Meeting and Special Meeting on June 16th. The Annual Meeting took place, David Wright and John Cramer were elected to the Board.  The Special Meeting was continued because we did not have enough proxies to be able to make changes to the Declaration for the proposed amendments. The next meeting will take place on August 17th.

    There were 2 items that the Board feels are important changes to the Declaration. Here are quick overviews but I have included a more detailed explanation below.

    The Capital Contribution is something that would  be collected when a home is sold in Founders Bridge and would go towards the Reserves to help pay for large capital improvements. 

    The other item that is being discussed is the solar panel installation.The Board would like to change the Declaration so the ARC Committee can have control over the size. shape, appearance of solar panels that could be installed in Founders Bridge. As it stands, there is not a lot of control  over what is installed and the Board would like the ARC Committee to have better control.

    Amendment 1: Collect Capital Contribution on Resales

    The purpose of this proposed amendment to the Declaration is to establish a new capital contribution amount for new home buyers within Founders Bridge. This would occur only when a home is sold in Founders Bridge so it would not affect you unless you bought another house in Founders Bridge.  This change was recommended during the updated reserve study conducted last summer as a means to increase funding for the increasing capital costs. 

    The new rate will be ½ of the annual POA dues ($720 for 2020) at the time the sale is completed.  The Amendment provides the Board the ability to change that amount over time, if needed.  The previous capital reserve analyses underestimated the cost of maintaining Association walking trails, sidewalks and trees, all of which need more investment as they age.  

    Some other Communities that collect the capital contribution are Brandermill and Magnolia Green.

    Amendment 2: Prohibit Installation of Solar Panels Without ARC Approval

    The purpose of this proposed amendment to the Declaration is to allow the Association to control future use of solar panels within Founders Bridge.  Recent legislation passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor on or about April 7, 2020 severely limits such control to actions that do not decrease the power collected by more than 10% and do not increase implementation cost by  more than 10%, unless the declaration explicitly provides such power to the Association. 

    As use of solar power grows in popularity, many different types of collectors will enter the market.  The Association wishes to continue to require review and approval by the Architecture Review Committee (ARC) before any such devices are installed.  This review is intended to ensure the appearance of modifications meet the principles of scale, proportion, balance, rhythm, and order as documented in the Architecture Review Guide, which is available on the property owners’ website. 

    The Board recommends you vote to approve this proposed amendment.  

    We need 272 votes for these proposed amendments to be approved. We currently have 135 votes.

    If you have not voted and would like to vote, please complete the attached proxy or if you cannot print one out, please contact Maria Durbin at foundersbridge@gmail.com.

    Independence Golf Cart Path Information

    Please Respect Private Property

    We are receiving reports of residents walking golf course trails and exploring the wooded areas beside walking paths along Founder Bridge Blvd.  Please remind family members and visitors that these areas are private property and that we have no special access privileges.  

    IGC has provided a process for those wishing to use golf course trails and to fish the ponds. In the spirit of relieving the stress of social isolation, IGC has changed the cart path walking times for now. You can now walk before 8:30 a.m. and after 8 p.m Friday through Sunday and  before 9 a.m. and after 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It requires registration and adherence to certain rules, the waiver form is attached.  In particular, only paying customers should be on the golf course property between the hours of 8:30 a.m.- 8 p.m.,  Friday through Sunday and 9 a.m.- 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday. IGC does not mind pets on the cart paths but any pet waste must be picked up and NOT disposed of in the golf course trash cans, the waste must be taken away and disposed of away from the course. With so many people cooped up at home, we realize everyone is looking for safe activities during the day.  If you’d like to spend time on the golf course, consider paying for a round.  You might find that you love the game!

    If your trash is ever missed, please contact County Waste at 804-843-9288. You can contact Maria Durbin at foundersbridge@gmail.com but your email will not be received until the following Monday.

    Trash delay holidays are normally  New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our normal trash day is Friday so with the holiday will delay it by one day so the pickup will be Saturday.

    Trash parameters:

    You are able to place up to 5 bags of leaves or yard debris out with their trash service each week.  If there is room in the County Waste trash cart we ask that it is filled prior to placing them on the side.  The bags need to be light enough for the driver to lift into the trash cart so he can dispose of it in the truck.  There is not stipulation between a paper or plastic bag being used.  Bundles of sticks and twigs can be placed out in place of the yard waste bags, again they need to be bundled small enough for the driver to easily place inside the cart so he can dispose of them in the truck.   

    They ask that all trash materials are bagged prior to placing inside of the trash can this includes dog waste bags, whether curbside or back door collection. This is to help prevent any type of materials being left behind or animals getting into prior to service. Properly bagging is even more paramount for back door service as the crews do pull bags from inside of the containers. If there are items that are not bagged or not sealed properly they may get left inside of the can as the crew cannot reach down to the bottom of the container.
