ARC Protocol on Exterior Modifications

As a friendly reminder, any modification to the exterior of your property (aside from routine maintenance of an existing item or minor plant/mulch replacement) requires the approval of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).

ARC information and applications for these modifications are available online via our website at www.cmgcharleston.com. A $75.00 application fee applies, but is good for one year from the date of your initial application (this means you can apply for as many modifications as you wish during this one year time period).

If you have any questions at all about whether or not a possible enhancement to the exterior of your property requires ARC approval, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at (843) 795-8484 ext. 308 or via email at nkearney@cmgcharleston.com.

Monthly Board Meeting

We are happy to announce that your HOA Boards had their Governance Seminar last week. The first HOA Board meeting will take place on Wednesday, March 21st at West Ashley High School. The meeting times will be as follows:

Jasmine Gate- 5:30pm
Jasmine Row- 6:30pm

Please remember that Board meetings are open to all homeowners to attend, but that the purpose of these meetings is to conduct the business of the Association. As a result, any homeowner questions/concerns will be answered after adjournment.

New Boards Elected

We are happy to announce that at the recent Turnover Meeting held by the Association on February 1st, your Board of Directors were elected for both Jasmine Row and Jasmine Gate. Both Boards will be holding their first Board meeting sometime in March. An email notice will go out to all members once the date/time/location for this meeting is selected and we will also blog about this meeting. This will be a great opportunity for members to meet their Board members and discuss any questions or concerns they have regarding the Community.

Community Turnover Meetings Set

The Jasmine Gate, Jasmine Row, and Jasmine at Bolton's Landing Master Homeowners Association will be holding a Turnover Meeting on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at the West Ashley High School Auditorium, located at 4060 W. Wildcat Blvd., Charleston, SC 29414. We tried to schedule these at the Bees Ferry Recreation Complex, but due to basketball and previously scheduled classes, this was not possible.

The turnover meeting times are as follows:

Jasmine Gate: 5:30pm
Master at Bolton's Landing: 6:15pm
Jasmine Row: 7:00pm

The primary purpose for conducting these Turnover Meetings is to comply with the requirements of the Association’s Governing Documents in regards to the Declarant/Developer’s membership status. At these meetings, the Association will be turned over to the members and the membership shall elect a new Board of Directors to undertake the responsibilities of the Association. Please keep in mind that the Declarant/Developer still has voting rights for each lot they own. If you or anyone you know may be interested in running for the Board, please submit a short bio to nkearney@cmgcharleston.com. The bio should include your qualifications and an explanation as to what you can contribute to the Community.

Notices for these meetings have gone out in the mail and should be to you shortly. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns regarding these meetings.

Turnover Meeting Update and Board Members Needed

As discussed at the 2011 Annual Meetings, both Jasmine Row and Jasmine Gate, along with the Master Association, will be having Developer turnover meeting later this month. As part of these meetings, owners will be voting to elect a new Board of Directors.

Owners who are interested in serving on their Community Boards or the Board for the Master Association of Bolton’s Landing are asked to provide their name and candidate bio information to Community Management Group via email to nkearney@cmgcharleston.com or by mail. As of today, we have only had two prospective Board members step forward, so please reconsider becoming an integral part of your Community by serving on your Board.
