Paving Update

Almost done – including new directional striping!

Per VDOT, only some small areas of paving are left, and the work will take a few more days to finish. Weather permitting, they should be done by the middle of next week. As VDOT completes the repaving of the Woodlake Village Parkway, they are modifying the lane markings at the intersection where the Parkway “meets itself “ after you come off of Hull St. and pass the Apartments. The new markings will clearly dedicate the right lane to motorists going straight, and clearly dedicate the left lane to those going left. This change eliminates the confusing signage and markings previously in place. Please be cautious as motorists become accustomed to this new and improved traffic flow.

POOL PROJECT UPDATE

New photos and our first time-lapse video now available!

Updates are being provided on a monthly basis, and include reports given each month at the Board of Directors meetings.  Photos, video clips, and time-lapse photography of the project are being made available as work progresses.  See below for the respective links.

Covenant Enforcement

Proactive, Reactive, & Common Property

It used to be that the Woodlake Community Association enforced the rules (covenants) only by way of a reactive approach. People made complaints, and staff followed-up on inspecting and issuing notices of violation when appropriate. Beginning in November 2021, the WCA implemented a proactive covenant enforcement program. We began inspecting each residential neighborhood, in alphabetical order, conducting street-side inspections of resident properties. To date, 27 of the 54 neighborhoods (half) have been inspected – those included Acorn Ridge through Mill Spring. We still have to inspect the neighborhoods of Moss Creek through Woods Walk, as well as the commercial properties.

While we continue to inspect the remaining neighborhoods, we also still have the reactive enforcement approach in place to address any potential violations throughout the community. If a resident observes a potential violation of the Covenants, an Architectural guideline discrepancy, or a community rule not being followed, the resident may report this to the WCA office by phone call, email, or even stopping by the office. Please note that it is the policy of the WCA to ensure that the identity of the resident providing the complaint remain anonymous. Once a concern is received, the WCA will address the report within five business days and pursue the proper course of action to bring a property into compliance.

The covenants and guidelines are important and should be followed by the Association as well. The WCA is constantly taking measures to maintain and improve the common property – sometimes with outside contractors (mowing, trails, painting, roofs, building), and sometimes in-house, with our own Facilities & Grounds team. Some work projects have to be planned and budgeted as capital expenditures; some projects can be paid for from the operating budget. One recent improvement that was done in-house was the upgrade to the interior and exterior of the lower-level AFC, creating a very nice meeting room with direct outside access. However, even though we did that, we didn’t catch the need to clean the AFC mailbox.  Fortunately, a resident brought it to our attention, and now, that looks better too.

In summary, we are all in this together – we all want Woodlake to be the best that it can be. That includes everyone living, working, and playing here! You have chosen to live in a homeowners’ association for many reasons – one of them is the protection that an association provides to maintain, preserve, and enhance property values. Supporting the covenants – on residential, commercial, and common property – is one way to do just that. Thanks to all who are helping to maintain all three areas and, in so doing, helping each other to make Woodlake the standout community that we are! 

A great attendance for July 4!
