behind the park at the end of Pommel in the next 30 days.2022
ANNUAL MEETING HELD
The 2022 Annual Meeting of the Breckenridge Owners Association, Inc. was held at Sam Michael’s Park on Thursday, July 21st, 2022, 7:00 PM. The purpose of the meeting was to review the operations of the Association, elect one member to the Board of Directors, and discuss any questions or concerns the membership may have.
One nomination was received to fill the expiring term held by Roger Forshee. At the meeting, Heidi Parker was elected to the Board of Directors for a three-year term.
2023 Budget Approved
The Board of Directors has approved the 2023 Operating Budget. There will be no change to the 2023 rate of assessment, which remains $132.00 per quarter.
2021 ANNUAL MEETING HELD
The 2021 Annual Meeting of the Breckenridge Owners Association, Inc. was held at Sam Michael’s Park Community on Thursday, July 15th, 2021, 7:00 PM. The purpose of the meeting was to review the operations of the Association, elect one member to the Board of Directors, and discuss any questions or concerns the membership may have.
Three nominations were received to fill the expiring term currently held by Sarah Bennett-Harper. At the meeting, there was a tie vote for the most number of votes, between John Fludine and Rebecca Francoline. As the Bylaws do not provide guidance for such a situation, the BOD agreed to adjourn the meeting and consult with the Association's attorney to determine the next course of action, which may include a re-vote of the community. However, after adjournment, John Fludine withdrew his candidacy, thereby allowing Rebecca Francoline to be elected to the Board of Directors for a three-year term.
AMENDMENT TO ALLOW PERMANENT, ABOVE-GROUND POOLS FAILS TO PASS
In October all owners were mailed information and a ratification form regarding a proposed Fifth Amendment to the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions to allow for permanent, above-ground swimming pools. A deadline for return of Ratification Forms was noted as December 31, 2020. The final results of the proposal are as follows:
123 of 282 Lots responded (44%)
64 Lots were in favor (23% of all Lots)
59 Lots were opposed (21% of all Lots)
In accordance with the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, the affirmation of at least 67% of all Lots is required to ratify any proposed change. As such, the proposed amendment failed to pass.
RV Parking in Breckenridge
Article VI, Section 1.f.1 of the Declaration of Covenants states, "If garages are included in a Living Unit, such garages and driveways shall be used for passenger vehicle storage only (including one self-propelled mobile home)" So, the type of RV is important, and it is only permitted if it is "self-propelled."
Unregistered Vehicles Not Permitted
The Board of Directors recently discussed and reviewed an opinion provided by legal counsel in order to clarify parking restrictions within the Breckenridge subdivision, including the parking of untagged/unregistered vehicles on Lots.
Please note that all such vehicles are prohibited in accordance with Article VI, Section 1(n) of the Declaration of Covenants which requires owners to comply with local laws, which includes West Virginia's vehicle laws requiring registration of a vehicle within 30 days of it being maintained in the state.
As such, beginning October 1, 2020, any unregistered and/or untagged vehicle not kept within an enclosed garage will be subject to property violation enforcement. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.
Utility Trailers Not Permitted
Due to a visible increase in street parking as well as an increase in the number of non-passenger vehicles in the community, the Board of Directors recently discussed and ultimately obtained legal counsel in order to clarify parking restrictions within the Breckenridge subdivision. Although the language in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions can sometimes be ambiguous, Article VI, Section 1(i) very clearly prohibits trailers from being maintained upon any Lot or upon the Common Areas at any time. Article VI, Section 1(f)1 also very clearly prohibits parking along the private streets.
The streets within the subdivision are quite narrow, so street parking certainly can impede the flow of traffic. Trailer and other non-passenger vehicle parking within driveways is also presenting a safety concern, as it sometimes causes resident and/or guest parking to spill over to the street.
In an effort to minimize street parking as well as to uphold the restrictions established in the Declaration, the HOA will be strictly enforcing the parking of utility trailers within the subdivision. This includes trailers parked in driveways and upon Lots. For the purposes of enforcement, “utility trailer” shall be defined as a non-motorized vehicle which is generally pulled by a motorized vehicle and features an open or closed top cargo area and is used for the hauling of loads.
Please note that the parking of trailers will be strictly enforced after August 31, 2019, and non-compliance shall be subject to the adopted Rules Enforcement Procedures. If you are currently parking a utility trailer on your property, please make arrangements to have it stored elsewhere. Street parking is currently actively enforced.

~ Asphalt Project Community Wide ~ |
|
Starting June 12, 2023, and continuing through June 16th as necessary, the Board approved asphalt project will begin (weather permitting) that consists of road repairs on Barrell Horse Drive in front of 235, mill and overlay in front of 254, 248 & 244 Barrell Horse Drive, and all of Bridle Court and the
stem, that also includes a full depth repair of the center of the court.
Additionally, the three existing
speed humps in the community will be milled and widened to 8ft. and three additional speed humps will be installed at selected locations determined to be the most effective for slowing speed in the
community. The new 8ft. humps will be placed on Pelham, Pommel and Kimberwicke North.
DELAYED TO LATER IN THE SUMMER -
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond the control of the contractor, Total Asphalt, the June 26th portion of the project that is theirs has been delayed to later this summer but will be completed before school begins.
We will send the project information with dates once confirmed. Total Asphalt has graciously agreed to absorb the cost of the additional mailings to the community.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
