4318 Old Chapel Hill Road Durham, NC 27707 June 13, 2011 Dear Arbor Pointe Owner: The Arbor Pointe Homeowners Association Board of Directors would like to take the opportunity to update you as to our newly adopted Common Area Garbage Policy. For some time, there has been an issue with owners and renters leaving garbage and boxes around the dumpster area rather than in the receptacles.
Article V.1.f of the Association's By-Laws states that a duty of the Board of Directors is to: "Provide for the operation, care, upkeep, and maintenance of all of the Common Area, exterior and structural components of the Units and other property the Association has responsibility for;" To comply with this directive, the Board has adopted the attached Common Area Garbage Policy. This policy will take effect on August 1, 2011.
Please take time to read the attached policy, because it will affect you. Questions or concerns may be directed to any of the Board members.
Sincerely, Board of Directors Arbor Pointe Homeowners Association, Inc.
ARBOR POINTE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.
