My name is Michael Bailess and I’m running for a position on the Single-Family Board of Directors. My wife Shannon and our two children, Austin (7) and Avery (3), have lived in Kinderton Village since September 2019. We are originally from Danville, VA and relocated to Winston-Salem in 2017 for work. I have worked for the last 20+ years in the technology industry for banks, retail, and software companies. I currently serve on the Master Board of Directors, filling the vacancy of Charles Akers until the next Master Board Annual meeting in February.
I have two goals if I am elected to the Single-Family board.
- Restore dignity, civility, and professionalism amongst the community HOA boards.
- Improve the community by making it a more comfortable and welcoming place for all residents.
Restore dignity and peace amongst the community HOA boards.
The actions of a few HOA board members these last few months is not something we as a community should accept. There are very few individuals involved in the conflict that has hurt neighbor relations and our public image. There is fault on both sides.
I firmly believe that we arrived here because of a lack of transparency. I propose that all board meetings, which have a quorum and a vote is held, should be recorded. These recordings should be made available to any member of that association which requests it. The meeting minutes should still be kept as a summary of those recordings.
Second, I propose that all board and committee members, should be provided an official email account with retention rules set. Any business that is conducted must be handled through that account. This protects both parties when disputes about communications occur. When seats are transferred, the email account should be as well so that the incoming board member knows what has transpired.
Finally, I propose that all directors, on all HOA boards, sign a code of ethics. This code should make airing board disagreements and slandering each other cause for dismissal. I’m not trying to take away anyone’s freedom of speech, but a lot of matters should be handled in board meetings and not in the public.
Improve the community by making it a more comfortable and welcoming place for all residents.
We’ve been through a dark period in history with the pandemic, but things are finally getting better. As a community, I think it’s time to start having neighborhood events so that we can really get to know each other. I propose neighborhood cookouts, events for families as well as events for adults to mingle without kids. The sky is the limit on what we can accomplish if we work together.
There are shared open areas in the back of the neighborhood that nothing has been done to. We need to do something with them, at a minimum, make sure the grass is healthy and maintained. I would love to explore the possibility of a small fishing pier at the lake. Most important, I want to make sure that the Boards focus on positive projects instead of negative ones.
If you want to help bring civility back and make our neighborhood a better place, please vote for me for the Single-Family Board of directors.
Thank you for your consideration,
Michael Bailess

Lyn Cole
My name is Lyn Cole. Living in central New York state, I retired in 2020 having spent 30 years as a financial advisor. Like many of you, I followed family to North Carolina. My husband, Kevin (a retired industrial sales manager), and I moved into Kinderton Village in March of 2022. We have a daughter, son in law and two grandchildren in Clemmons.
Also like many of you, we worked long hours until retirement and understand that, during those years, someone else represented us on issues of town/village/neighborhood/school board. Now it’s our turn.
Kinderton Village was in the throes of the high-density apartment debate when we came to the neighborhood. I attended meetings and asked questions but largely stood back and watched as many of you carried the burden of challenge to its end. Kevin and I attended a board meeting of the Single Family HOA and have determined that this is the most appropriate place to pitch in and help.
I most hope to help maintain this beautiful community, making it a warm and welcoming environment. I believe that many people working together will lighten the load for all and that more residents involved make the community more representative of our population.
Sincerly,
Lyn Cole

Hello Kinderton Village Single Family sub-association neighbors!
My name is Troye Cooper and I am pleased to announce my desire to serve on the board of directors of the Single-Family sub-association of Kinderton Village. As a resident of this beautiful community that we call “home” for the past couple of years, I’ve decided to “throw my hat in the proverbial ring” (interpret that however you would like).
I believe that most of our residents agree that the aesthetics of our neighborhood is what attracted them to move here. We all knew when we purchased our homes that we were moving to a community that was overseen by an HOA. To most of us, we viewed that as a good thing as moving into a community with like minded people would help preserve the tranquility that exists along with the sense of community that comes with it (not to mention, preservation of our home values as in many cases, the most expensive hard asset we will ever own).
Unfortunately, to the chagrin of some of us, after living here a while, we learned that we actually moved into a community where it feels that “big brother” is always watching and we are not in a neighborhood of a community that generally knows how to self-regulate but rather one that is controlled by a small group of self-selected individuals who feel compelled to do whatever it takes to try to maintain the integrity of our neighborhood even if that may offensive to the members of the community it is supposed to be serving. I happen to NOT be one of those individuals.
While at 51 years of age I do not consider myself yet qualified to be an expert on anything, I have lived a few years, experienced a few things and overcame some challenges that I didn’t think I could get through. I am still young enough to been ergetic yet finally mature enough to have some wisdom and common sense.
As a young’un, I was involved in several organized sports teams including soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, track and field, wrestling and football. All of those taught me at a young age that as part of a team, even if you are the most committed and/or talented member of the team, it takes the effort and commitment of every member of those teams individually AND collectively to be successful.
In addition to all those sports, I’m also an Eagle Scout since 1988. For life. I had no idea at that time that the skills I was learning would help guide me through life. On my path to Eagle, I was able to grow through different leadership roles. Further, I learned how to work with others through community service culminating with my Eagle Scout project where I had to lead as well as work side by side with my fellow scouts to complete the project.
Here are a few excerpts from a recent essay that remind me why I’m so grateful Scouting plays a part in so many lives. This essay was written by Julia Shepherd, one of the first female Eagle Scouts and first-place winner in the Central Florida Council scholarship contest. She said,
“Leaders have to make decisions, be problem solvers, face adversity, and follow their moral obligations – all principles of Scouting. ... Teaching young girls and boys the values of responsibility, loyalty, leadership, and camaraderie at this age equips them for life in the reality we live in. In the ever-changing society that we are a part of, these characteristics are fundamental for children to possess and carry with them into adulthood.”
“The Scout stands for pride, integrity, opportunity, strength, freedom, and the true meaning of being an American, as they embody the flag on the uniform. Scouting instills these values into young Americans who will grow up with respect for their country, only building upon it as they age. ...Scouts are our future, and they are equipped with a skillset that gives me confidence and faith in the future of our country.”
To read the full essay, you can go to this link:
Incidentally an ironically, I received that message in a recent email from Frank Tsuru, National President of the National Eagle Scout Association. These words reminded me why I am compelled to serve and give back to my community.
In addition to sports and scouts while growing up, I also worked at a neighboring dairy farm which ultimately led me to my career. After graduating from high school, I decided to pursue a 4-year (which ultimately turned into a 4 and 1/2 year) degree in Dairy and Animal Science with a Business emphasis from Penn State University. While there, I joined an agricultural social professional fraternity, Delta Theta Sigma where I again had the opportunity to live and serve side by side with like minded peers and friends while also serving in different leadership positions within the fraternity.
After graduation, I began my near 30 year career in the dairy industry holding several different positions with 5 different companies ranging from cow breeder to dairy nutritionist, logistics specialist, Grade A milk inspector, procurement director and finally to my current position as the Director of Operations, Milk Marketing and Member Services of the Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers CooperativeAssociation for the past 10+ years.
In this role, I help manage the movement of about 120 x 6500-gallon tanker loads of raw milk per day that are produced from approximately 950-member owner dairy farms from South Carolina to New York utilizing about 25 different milk hauling companies to pick up and deliver to about 20 different raw milk customers (processing plants) in the same geography. My primary responsibility is to oversee our raw milk quality and regulatory compliance team. Milk is a heavily regulated food commodity. There are strict food safety rules which are established and overseen by the FDA and enforced by the 10 states that we operate in, each which may have their own set of rules over and above federal standards and each which may have their own interpretations of those federal rules.
I also work with our logistics team and milk accounting team who is responsible for ensuring our customers are appropriately invoiced and pay for the milk they purchase and that our member owners are appropriately paid for the milk that the produce and sell. Milk is also heavily regulated by the USDA as milk is priced under a program called the Federal Orders that allows producers to pool their milk and extract a blended price from the pool based on the value of the milk that was determined by how it was utilized (different value for fluid drinkable milk vsspoonable ice cream/sour cream vs cheese vs butter and powder). This may sound very complex, and I assure you, it is.
Further preparing me for the role of the KV SF board, our cooperative is owned by all 950 dairy farm member owners that produce and supply the milk. Each has anequity stake in our organization. Those 950 farms are split geographically into three different districts and are represented by a single board of 15 dairy farmer member owners (5 from each district) each which are elected to three-year terms along with one outside director. Does any of this sound familiar? 3 subgroups of 5 directors who come together each month to make go-forward decisions that are to be for the betterment of the collective whole, as opposed to just the interest of the subgroups they represent. In addition, striking a balance between the board that directs our business and the management team that executes our business is critical to our success. About 3-4 years ago, our CEO decided that the management team and the Board of directors needed to get together in the same room to cuss and discuss and develop a strategic plan that would lead and guide us into and through the next 5-10 years. As part of the management team, I was able to provide input to the executive leadership team as well as our board of directors to help drive that plan. After several sessions, we came out of the room with a plan that all agreed on. I assure you that plan does not just sit on a shelf and collect dust. It has been our guide through every decision that has been made since the plan was put together.
If elected to the KV SF board of directors, my goal is:
- To apply my life experiences and help ensure that our residents’ voices are being heard.
- To hear those voices and learn what is most important to the residents of ourcommunity.
- To ensure the current CCRs and by-laws of our board and master board are clear and well understood by our resident members. This may involve acomprehensive review and opening for suggestions/modifications to ensure they remain relevant to our maturing community.
- To ensure residents clearly understand the roles and responsibilities of the boards of the sub-associations, the master board and the respective management groups. This may involve a comprehensive review of the agreements between the sub-associations, the master board and the respective management companies.
- To help ensure that the application of our rules (CCRs and By-Laws) is consistent, fair and reasonable and that there is no overreach of authority by the board or management with enforcement.
- To help ensure that ALL sub-association boards are included, and a fair balance of power is maintained among them. Keeping in mind that equitableis not always equal and equal is not always fair.
- To foster a sense of true community through transparency and accountability. While I am aware that I still have a lot to learn, I am eager and confident that I canprovide positive contributions to existing leadership in our community. I hope I can count on your vote.
Sincerly,
Troye Cooper

My job/work history covers many areas. I have vast experience in supervising maintenance, grounds and custodial employees. Having worked in a school district and non-profit companies, I fully understand working under tight budget constraints, yet fulfilling expectations.
I pride myself in only expecting above average results from myself and co-workers.
My wife Charlene and I moved to Kinderton Village in August, 2020. We have been residents of the Town of Bermuda Run for over 15 years. While a resident in the Bermuda Run Country Club, I served as HOA President of the River Hill community for 8 years.
I would like to be considered for a position on the Kinderton Village Single Family Board. I feel my experience will help our community maintain and move forward with the maintenance necessities which make this community a great place to call “home”.
To be transparent, my wife and I do travel several weeks during the year. I would be able to attend meetings through zoom when out of the area.
Respectfully,
Stephen C. Genaway

It’s time for change.
My name is Charles "Chuck" Goins, and I would appreciate your vote to the Single-Family Board of Directors.
My wife Tina, our 8yr old daughter Alexandria and I reside at 118 Pendleton Dr.
Tina’s son, Jason 27 (went to Pinebrook, N Davie & Davie High!) and my two sons, Brandon (28) and Nicholas (25), are now out on their own. Although Tina has lived in Bermuda Run since 1998, we have been a member of this beautiful community for about 3 yrs.
You may recognize us as the family who has arranged and driven the fire truck to carry Santa around the neighborhood the last 3 Christmases.
I am a Captain with the Winston Salem Fire Dept. proudly serving my community for over 25 years. I also volunteer my time within the school systems and daycares teaching fire safety. I was awarded a track scholarship to Appalachian State University, where I earned a BA in English. Additionally, I am a Prince Hall Mason and served as Master of Ionic Lodge #72 for two years. At the time I was the second youngest to hold that Lodge position in North Carolina.
Why I’m running
I’d like to help make sure 2023 is a productive year focused on:
- Reestablishing Professionalism between the Boards
- Updating ARC guidelines
- Enhancing our amenities and community activities
- Rebuilding the positive community feeling Kinderton Village has been giving residents for over two decades!
What I love about Kinderton
I love our neighbors… our “community”. People who care, bring their neighbors food when they’re sick and bring cards to each-other to lift their spirits during difficult times. People who rally to fight to protect the integrity and beauty of the neighborhood and people who wave when you’re walking. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family, retire to or just live your life in peace.
What I’d like to see change
In the past year our social media pages have gone from being a place where people would sell goods, share local topics to being littered with hateful messages and insinuations.
We are better than this and we, our board should reflect the kind spirit of our neighborhood!
Before the last election we heard pledges from the single family to address neighborhood safety, ARC guideline changes and more.
Why didn’t they keep their promises?
What could we do next?
Don’t like seeing dogs run free from leashes in our parks? Let’s build a small dog park!
Your small kids don’t have a designated space at the pool? Let’s look into a small splash pad!
Wish you knew more of your neighbors? Let’s host community cook-outs and movie nights!
Wish you could access the lake (especially the handicap)? Let’s investigate a small dock!
Want to grow a small, well maintained community garden? Let’s talk about that!
These can be relatively inexpensive projects. Our neighborhood has the reserve funds for these and still won’t dip into our required reserves.
Point is… let’s stop fighting and let’s build our neighborhood resources!
Let’s stop losing home sales due to HOA drama and fears and let's increase our property value!
Past Board Experience that will serve me well
Emergency Responders Credit Union Board of Directors:
I volunteered as a Director on the Emergency Responders Credit Union Board from 2019 to 2022.
As a board member I assisted in making, updating, and enforcing the policies of the Credit Union and assisting with navigating through any issues the credit union staff encountered.
As Directors we were responsible for making decisions that insured the fiscal success of the Credit union. We conduced monthly training on topics to ensure that we were up to date with the latest trends as other Credit Unions our size.
Pink Heals President:
In 2012, and for the following decade, I founded and was the President of Triad Pink Heals. Our organization raised awareness and raised funds for families with members battling cancer. As President I resided over our Board of Directors and organized HUNDREDS of fundraisers over the next 10yrs. I recruited and coordinated with over 70 volunteers and arranged several 5k fundraisers. I also sought out and coordinated with local business owners for their sponsorship of some of my events. Over the past 10yrs under my leadership, we were able to raise and donate to local families, TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars to assist with medical bills and in some cases keep those families lights on.
If you are looking for someone who will advocate for the homeowner and property values, work to improve the level of professionalism among our Board of Directors and enhance our neighborhood amenities, please consider voting for me for the Single-Family Board of Directors.
Sincerely,
Charles “Chuck” Goins

Hello Neighbors,
My name is Angelique “Angel” Jackson. In 2016 our family moved here from Pennsylvania. Our home is located right near the Kinderton Lake on Lakeside Crossing. We love Kinderton Village for its hometown feel, amenities and the perfect location between the country atmosphere and the City. I live with my husband Jason and two children who are currently attending DCHS. We also enjoy animals and have a Great Dane named Mongo, a turtle and fish.
I am running for the Single Family board of directors because I feel I have the skills, experience, ideas, and the compassion to serve the best interest of the whole community. I understand the importance of clear communication, working collaboratively, problem solving with an open mind, and caring for our neighbors.
You will find that my passion, when I take on a position I go above and beyond to help others to complete their vision. My experience shows I have excellent communication skills and a drive to improve things to be more efficient. Although I have done a lot to help the community with communication, I feel there is always room for improvement.
As single family homeowner there are areas I would like to see improvement.
-
- COMMUNICATION OF BOARDS: I would like to help the boards come together as one team for our community. Looking over all ARC/BiLaws/CCRs seeing if nothing is out dated and make changes if needed based on our community’s needs. Have discussions of events that the community may like as a whole.
- KINDERTON LAKE: I would love to work with the Master Board and the community to see the possibility of a small dock for fishing. Working with the community vision to improve the visual of the lake area with maybe flowers and Bird Houses around the lake.
- KINDERTON OPEN SPACE BY POOL: I would love to poll the community again for ideas that we all would love to see in that area. Some wonderful past ideas were a splash pad, dog park or community garden. Then encourage the boards to research and if budget friendly to put into action for the 2023 year.
When we moved here I wanted to volunteer here in Kinderton by using my creative skills to help our community. In 2017 I approached the Kinderton Village Master Board and asked them if they were interested in me doing a Newsletter for the Kinderton Village community periodically. It was something I did for the previous neighborhood we lived in. I also shared my background as a graphic artist. At the time I thought it may help with communication lag our community was having. They were thrilled with the idea and asked if I would help maintain the KindertonVillage.org website also. Over the years I have encouraged boards monthly to add information to our website so it was easier to share information to the community. As I worked with the boards I began volunteering in other ways.
Here are things I have done to help our Kinderton Village community.
-
- Meet & Greets with Mayor of Bermuda Run: Helped with the organization of communication sessions with Kinderton Village Community and the Mayor of Bermuda Run. Worked directly with the Mayor with his vision to be able to communicate with the residents of Bermuda Run
- Kinderton Village Events: Volunteered yearly to help past single family president promote and run Kinderton Parade, Kinderton Easter Egg Hunt, Kinderton End of Year Pool Gathering and Community Yard Sale. In 2022 I took over the organization of the 4th of July Parade and was able to get two local sponsors for prizes.
- Kinderton Mail Kiosks: Worked with the Bermuda Run Town Manager to create a detailed web page on KindertonVillage.org explain in detail of how they were maintained and where to get keys made. http://www.kindertonvillage.org/index.php/residents/mail-kiosk
- Kinderton Alleyways: Worked with past Single Family President in creating a webpage with detailed information on how they are maintained and the process of upcoming paving.
http://www.kindertonvillage.org/index.php/residents/alleyways - Residential Plats: Researched and created a web page to be able to help residents be able to find their plats easier for ARC requests.
http://www.kindertonvillage.org/index.php/residents/plat-diagram-of-land-information - Kinderton Newsletter: Create a quarterly informational newsletter about what is happening locally in our community to be distributed through management companies.
- Kinderton Village Website Calendar: Maintain the web site calendar monthly and search for local things happening in Bermuda Run like events, recycling, community meetings and more to be added to the calendar. http://www.kindertonvillage.org/index.php/calendar-right/month.calendar/2023/01/27/-
- Kinderton Pool, Clubhouse, Geese, ARC..: Worked with Master Board, Committees and Priestly Management to create detailed web pages on KindertonVillage.org for the community to see and to help with any questions they may have.
- Apartment Rezoning: I was a strong advocate for Kinderton Village during the rezoning. Worked with the community to come up with solutions to STOP the rezoning or protect the community from a worst case scenario. I sent out two PDF presentations to the all town members showing the potential harm of high density apartments. One presentation was based off of the ponds, street patterns, nature and traffic. The other was based on research we found of all the rentals we already have in Bermuda Run and how approving more apartments would be a hindrance to the community of Bermuda Run. Spoke to Town officials directly about our concerns.
CAREER EXPERIENCE: I have 25 years’ experience as a graphic designer. I assisted and managed the advertising of some of the leading Automotive Groups in the Philadelphia and Delaware region. I also worked with a Family Own Pharmacy Chain, a Nursing Magazine and many other businesses. I have strong skills in communication, visually meeting customers’ needs and creating efficiency in a fast paced industry.
VOLUNTEERING: Volunteering fills my heart when I can help others. I was a Girl Scout troop leader for 3 years. Volunteered in the schools as an assistant, home room mom, PTC activities for classrooms and helped with creative visuals if needed. I also volunteer at Church, Boy Scouts and here in Kinderton Village.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read all my strengths and my passion to serve. I hope being elected will give me the opportunity to represent our community in a better way. As a Single Family Board of Director I certainly would try my best to be the voice for the community and put things into action to make Kinderton Village the best place to live in North Carolina.
Sincerely your neighbor,
Angel Jackson

I believe that I would be an asset to the Board of Directors because I have demonstrated the ability to work with diverse groups and communities at large. I also have a deep understanding that the goal of an HOA is to ensure a high standard and quality of life within a neighborhood and protect most family's largest investment, their home. This is done by the most important role of any BoD, fiscal responsibility and accountability of monies paid to and used for the overall betterment of the HOA. Additionally, to follow the HOA Declarations, Covenants and Bylaws in conjunction with the NC Planned Communities Act. I have shown a track record of fairness, fiscal responsibility, public service and honesty. I would be honored to serve the Kinderton Single Family Homeowners' on the Board of Directors.

VISION
| My vision for Kinderton Village is a close-knit community that treats neighbors like family, that comes together in times of joy and in times of need, and we are all proud to call it home. I want an HOA that is representative of all households, and one that is inclusive of resident’s needs and desires. I want an HOA that is transparent as it represents the will of the neighborhood. And I want an HOA that is compassionate and kind – one that understands that we are all human and can be faced with difficult times, where we as a community can lend a helping hand – not shun or disgrace those in need. Finally, I want all Kinderton Village HOA’s to work together for these common causes that are important to all of us. |

Mark F Smith
I am interested in contributing to our community of Kinderton Village by serving on the Single Family Board. My wife, daughter and I instantly fell in love with the neighborhood when we moved here in May of 2021 and have enjoyed the many benefits of this charming community including friendly neighbors, sidewalks, shady trees, club house, green areas, playgrounds, multi-generational events and more. We chose an area with on HOA to feel confidant that these benefits would be preserved.
I believe I have some worthwhile assets to contribute to the group:
I attended Bowling Green State University in Ohio as a young man followed by five years of service in the United States Navy as a corpsman.
I worked in sales in Ohio and North Carolina for RCA Service Company for twenty-five years until they were sold and closed my division. I then started my own company in the burglar alarm/security industry where I gained experience in fiscal responsibility and employee management.
While living in the Lewisville-Clemmons area 1985-2005, I was an active volunteer serving on the Lewisville Planning Board, was an Elder, Trustee, choir member, and youth leader at Unity Moravian Church, was an active member of the Home Builders Association and a member of the Kiwanis Club. After I moved my company to Salisbury, I was active in the Chamber of Commerce and participated in many community events. Those organizations gave me experience in working with boards, committees, and the public and helped me develop skills with public fiscal management and decision making as part of a team.
After "retiring" and deciding to downsize to a more manageable house and yard, we moved to Kinderton Village to be closer to family and to enjoy the benefits of a close-knit community. I put retirement in quotation marks because I am now working four days/week at the front desk of our local Hampton Inn. I enjoy being engaged with the public and having the responsibilities of that position. I also feel that my duties there further the skills I would bring to the Single Family Board.
I would appreciate an opportunity to work on the board to help Kinderton Village stay the wonderful community it is and to work in the interests of all the residents, not just the single family homes.

The contractor has forecast preliminary work will begin July
* * * * *
How long will this take?
Milling and asphalt overlay tasks are forecast to take place over one to two weeks.
* * * * *
Will I lose access to my driveway?
Yes. The day your milling occurs, you will have to park on the street till completion.
Additional parking is available at the clubhouse if that will help you.
* * * * *
Who is paying for this?
The Kinderton Single Family Homeowners Association has been
saving/accruing the necessary funds in their Capital Reserve for a number of years.
The cost for this project will be paid in full from that account.
Monthly dues for the Single Family HOA were increase in January 2021 from $55 to $65,
in part to begin replenishing that Capital Reserve account.
* * * * *
Why isn’t a special assessment being levied just for alleyway resurfacing?
In the event a one time (special) assessment would be required,
the Kinderton Village Single Family Covenants, Conditions,
and Restrictions require every Owner of each lot to pay the same amount.
Such an assessment would be equally weighted across all owners.
* * * * *
Will any “dip” between the street and alleyway be
raised/flattened during the resurfacing?
No, they will not. Those transition areas from the public street surface to the
concrete apron which leads into the alleyways,
are part of the overall neighborhood sidewalk.
Any maintenance or repairs to sidewalks fall under the Town of Bermuda Run.
* * * * *
Will trash/recycle pick-up be impacted?
Depending how the surface milling and overlay tasks are scheduled,
there is the possibility there will be some disruptions to service.
Depending on project timing, delays, or inclement weather,
we will be coordinating with Republic Services to temporarily
provide collection services at the front side of homes.
There is the chance that street side parking and trash/recycle pick-up
could occur for some alleyways and not others.
During the course of the project, there are not plans to alter the day of the week (Tuesday)
when Republic Services performs its pick-up.
* * * * *
Why does trash/recycle collection continue in alleyways?
Our trash/recycle pickup is an arrangement between the
Town of Bermuda Run and Republic Services.
At this time, there are no known plans to alter that location.
* * * * *
How will my contractor access the rear of my home?
If you are currently making any plans for remodeling, landscaping,
or repairs that require access to your alleyway or backyard,
please inform your contractor of the likely hood
they may have to park on the street and walk to the rear of your yard.
* * * * *
Will there be Porta-Jons on Site?
At this time, there are no plans for those to be present.
* * * * *
Alleyways are not behind my home.
Many of our Kinderton residents walk, bicycle, scooter, and golf cart along
the nearly 25 alleyways within our neighborhood.
While the paving project might not directly affect you,
making everyone aware will help minimize surprises.
* * * * *
How will I be notified of changes?
Both our KindertonVillage.org website and the Kinderton Social group on Facebook will provide updates.
Additionally there will be flyers at the mail kiosks and signs at neighborhood entrances.
Most importantly, if Cedar Management does not have your e-mail address or phone number,
please call Cedar customer service at (877) 252-3327 and provide that information.
“Tenants, please ask your landlord to forward any e-mail updates they receive.”

Hello Kinderton Village Neighbors,
Over the last week, your Master Board and Sub-Association Directors have received the latest overture from Robert Morgan (Homes Urban) regarding their proposed apartment complex.
Like earlier this spring, our intent as your HOA representatives is to obtain actionable information about the proposed development, how it might affect you, offer our concerns, and request changes.
Click HERE for document which was initially shared on April 20th with all of Kinderton Village. It contains questions and answers, plus Homes Urban site plan and building rendering.
On next Tuesday June 21st, your HOA directors have been invited to meet with Mr. Morgan and Hillsdale Real Estate Group (owner of the site).
As we understand the agenda, Homes Urban and Hillsdale will lay out a proposal that would alter their initial rezoning request, to include “conditional zoning”.
We have not been provided any additional information on conditional zoning, or how the process will unfold moving forward, but will continue to collect and distribute that info as it is received.
The following bulleted excerpts are our perceptions of conditional zoning.
- Conditional zoning means a zoning in which, the governmental body allows a change in zoning activities subject to certain conditions that are designed to protect adjacent land from the loss of use value which might occur, if the new zoning activities are allowed without any sort of restrictions.
- Site plans. A site plan incorporated into a conditional rezoning can identify where roads, buildings, parking, particular uses, and buffers will be located. It can provide information on landscaping or stormwater management, although details on these aspects of the development may be addressed later in the permitting process.
As your respective HOA director prepares to meet with Homes Urban and Hillsdale, if you have questions or concerns which need to be posed or answered, we encourage you to contact them directly with those points.
Their contact information is listed on http://www.kindertonvillage.org/index.php/governance under Kinderton Village HOA Governing Boards.
At this time, there are no scheduled follow up meetings with Kinderton residents, however we expect those will be developed following the Tuesday June 21st meeting.
We also suggest you sign up for the Town of Bermuda Run newsletter as information on this topic unfolds. https://townofbr.com
Information concerning our Kinderton neighborhood can be found at http://www.kindertonvillage.org/ and also on KV Community a Facebook site.
Thank you,
Kinderton Village Master Board and Sub-Association Directors

Bios for Board Nominees...
Chris Bryant
Hello KV neighbors, my name is Chris Bryant. My wife, Joana, is one of Kinderton Village's founding residents. She's lived here since 2003, and I joined her in 2015. Together we are raising our children ages 5 to 17. In addition, we have a miniature golden doodle named Peaches who loves to race you along our picket fence as you transit the sidewalk.
Kinderton is more than a neighborhood, it is our home, and we take a lot of pride in our little bit of ownership here.
I'm a retired Master Army Aviator, Go-Team Accident Investigator, and safety professional. I spent 21 years on active duty and served with valor in Iraq and Afghanistan. This year, I will be leading a tech startup with partners and investors from Texas. I have an Executive MBA from Texas Christian University and a BS from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
After military retirement, my first job was church administrator for a medium-sized church with a multi-million-dollar budget. While there, I oversaw numerous building and construction projects, vehicle, and property acquisitions, and more importantly, I helped people with their needs. Since then, I've worked for an aircraft manufacturing company, a major air ambulance corporation, and had my own consulting firm. In addition, I've chaired several boards over the years and have solid experience working in committees. I enjoy the challenges of safety and risk management and feel that I can contribute to a community risk management program that addresses the hazards in our community. I believe that Kinderton could easily be one of the safest communities in NC with the right amount of effort and cooperation. A safe community is a valuable one!
I hosted a business boot camp for residents of KV last summer, and I maintain the FB Group KV Quorum Group. My primary reason for serving on the board is to re-establish the neighborhood quorum's involvement in Board activities.
I appreciate your consideration!
Thank you,
Chris

I’m Thomas Lofton, a native of Wilson, NC. I relocated to the Piedmont area as a College student that attended Winston Salem State University, where I earned a BA in Business Administration. While attending WSSU I met my wife, Linda, of 31 years. We were blessed to have 3 children. Thomas “Trey” Lofton, III our son of the home, Kennedy and Colbie Lofton our twin daughters of Graham, NC. We previously lived in Kernersville, NC in Salem Crossing subdivision where I was an integral part of the implementation of their Home Owners Association.

I’m presently a Sr. Human Resources Business Partner for Western North Carolina, Blue Ridge region for Spectrum. I’ve been in Human Resources for 24 years and absolutely love the career that I chose. I’ve never met a stranger and I love helping others.

Now as I try to stay healthy, I swim and bike ride when time permits.

Diane Pfundstein
Greeting neighbors,
My name is Diane Pfundstein. I have been a resident of Kinderton Village since 2017. That year I began volunteering on the KV architectural review committee (ARC) and became head of the pool committee. Presently I am committee chairman for the KV Clubhouse, handling rentals of the facility for the neighborhood. Additionally, I am on the Single Family landscape committee working with our landscaper on large projects.
One of my goals for Kinderton is the hope to create more community involvement from our residents by the formation of committees. From past experience I found committees; give residents a say in what goes on in their neighborhood, it prepares them to be future board members, and helps reduce the commitment of time the Board of Directors has to spend researching projects while utilizing the skills of the homeowners.
Community service has always been an important part of my life. In my mid 20s I began my HOA service, as president of my condominium homeowner’s association. It was a challenging position as we were self-managed so there was considerably more responsibility for all the maintenance and repairs.
For over 35 years I continued my HOA service: serving on Board of Directors, as the administrator for a neighborhood blog for 200 homes, and on various committees.
In those previous roles I followed the rules and regulations of the HOA bylaws and CCR‘s as required for all volunteers and board members. Wishful thinking does not negate that responsibility although often residents would like otherwise.
If you have questions, I can be contacted through the clubhouse site.
Regards,
Diane
