Notes:

1.  As shown in the linked information, the initial monthly maintenance fee was based on a best case scenario with no funds set aside allocated to reserves to pay for routine maintenance (e.g., Any cost overruns, painting, repairs etc)

2.   Amount includes cost of loan to address structural issues until lawsuit with the developer is settled

3.  Monthly fee lowered to $135 (as lawsuit settled and no longer a loan to cover cost of needed improvements)

4.   In Nov 2003, an increase of $20/month was proposed (From $155 to $175) to maintain Northface operations.  At the 2003 annual meeting, owners voted for a $240 special assessment per unit rather than increase the monthly maintenance fee from $155/Unit

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

 

Special Assessments

Special assessments are to used when there are insufficient funds in the reserve account for the maintenance/replacement of common area items.  Northface has been fairly successful over its history in limiting the need for special assessments by maintaining adequate reserves through a realistic monthly assessment.  The table below lists the special assessments.  A couple of points to remember in Northface history;

Additional information on Special Assessments (if desired)

"Reserves. The Board of Directors may build up and maintain an adequate operating reserve and reserve for replacement of the Common Area, which may be funded by regular monthly payments, as provided for in subsection (c). At the end of each fiscal year, all funds accumulated during such year for reserves for replacement of the Common Area shall be placed in a separate bank account, segregated from the general operating funds, and used only for such purposes. If for any reason, including nonpayment of any Owner's assessment, the reserves are inadequate, the Board of Directors may at any time levy a further assessment, which shall be assessed against the Owners according to their respective votes in the Unit Owners Association, and which may be payable in a lump sum or in installments as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors shall serve notice of any such further assessment on all Owners by a statement in writing giving the amount and reasons therefor, and such further assessment shall, unless otherwise specified in the notice, become effective with the next monthly payment which is due more than ten (10) days after the delivery or mailing of such notice of further assessment. All Owners shall be obligated to pay the adjusted monthly amount or, if the additional assessment is not payable in installments, the amount of such assessments."
