Some questions answered
Q 1. Is there any truth to the rumor that homeowners will no longer be allowed to rent their properties out to tenants and that existing tenants will be required to vacate?
A There is no truth to the rumor. At this time the Board is certainly considering all options that pertain to retaining the quality of life and the value of property here in the community. There are suggestions that Wingspread should revisit the matter of some form of limitation on leasing properties here but there is nothing currently being explored along these lines.
Q 2. There had been talk of selling the land across from Shelbourne Road. Are there any new developments on that topic? If the land is not sold, what plans does Wingspread have in store with this property? And what effect will it have on the budget and association fees if it is retained or sold?
A That stretch is a problem as it has no great value as real estate, being in a rather active flood plain. Over the years a number of uses have been considered and it is currently configured as a picnic area, though not used very much. There are also limits placed on fishing in that area. Wingspread even offered the property to Exeter but they were not interested. We have cut back on mowing the area because of the limited use. But it is required that we do control the weed growth down there. We are told that maintaining that property costs each homeowner about 36 cents a month.
Q 3. Is there a way to send outgoing postal mail in Wingspread? If not, we'd like to see an outgoing mail deposit somewhere in the community. A number of other governed communities offer this service and it would make it convenient for many residents, especially senior citizens, if we could send mail without having to drive to the post office.
A Most Court areas do have outgoing boxes in the immediate area of the resident boxes. A visit to Windsor explains why there is none in your court. You have 16 units and 16 mail boxes so there is no room for an outbox. Folks in your court can easily walk over to Wessex and use the outbox there.
We did have a drop box along Wingspread Drive but the post office elected to remove that some time ago. FYI. the mailboxs and dropboxs are the property of the US Postal Service and do not actually belong to Wingspread.
