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:

WSG VI
c/o Mill House Properties
1720 East Franklin Street
Chapel Hill, NC 27514

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.

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.

Roofing news

Good news! Both house and garage roofs will be blown off by the crew from Squeaky Clean within the next two weeks, weather permitting. Remember that cleaning gutters is the responsibility of the owners and Squeaky Clean will only be blowing off the roofs.

Questions: Contact Michelle at officemanager@berkeleychapelhill.com or 919-448-5150

Another exciting project is happening! In the next four weeks you may see roofing contractors exploring garage roofs. The WSG Board has approved the bidding process for replacement of 92 original garage roofs. BPM sent out requests for proposals and all bids are due back by February 28, 2019.
