The Association’s Declaration and Bylaws are very important documents. If you have not reviewed them, you should, as they contain the basic information which governs the operation of the Association.
Each townhouse owner in 100 Acre Woods is a member and stakeholder in the Association. The rights and privileges of membership are subject to the payment of assessments levied by the Association as well as adherence to all community rules, restrictions, and guidelines.
The business affairs of the Association are managed by a five-member Board of Directors, each of which volunteers his/her time and makes decisions on behalf of the Association membership. Board members are elected to three-year terms by the Association membership. Elections are held at the annual membership meeting, which usually is conducted on the first Tuesday in January of each year.
The Board of Directors meets in regular session every other month, and all Association members are welcome to attend. Officers of the Association are elected by the Board of Directors at the first meeting of the Board following the annual membership meeting.
In accordance with the Declaration and Bylaws, the Association’s management agent, Continental Property Management, Inc., is responsible for maintaining the property and enforcing all covenants, rules, and restrictions under the direction of the Board of Directors. Failure by the Association, management agent or by any owner to enforce any covenant or restriction shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.
The purpose of this handbook is to serve as a convenient guide for members of the Association, residents, and their guests. The Association’s rules, use restrictions, and architectural guidelines have been established to ensure and maintain the quality of life and protect property values in the 100 Acre Woods community.
Townhouse living differs from owning a single-family home. Adjustment to this difference is not always easy, but you will find that the rules by which our 201 families abide are based on common sense and are intended to promote harmonious and pleasant living.
Your primary responsibilities to your neighbors are: (1) to become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this handbook; (2) to adhere strictly to all provisions; and (3) to see that your family and guests do the same. No rules can ever take the place of courtesy and consideration for one’s neighbors. Your cooperation and assistance are appreciated.
Nothing herein is intended to supersede the laws and regulations promulgated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bucks County and Northampton Township. In the situation where municipal authorization is required, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain same. It is important to note that even if the Township approves a particular change/use, such a change/use must still be approved by the Board of Directors subject to all Association rules and architectural guidelines.
This statement of rules and architectural guidelines is approved by the 100 Acre Woods Townhouse Association Board of Directors this 10th day of August 2022.
These amended rules and guidelines are effective September 1, 2022.
