Master Association Board of Directors,
The purpose of this letter is to inform the Master Association that Thomas Bongaerts, Vice President, and I (Jason Garms), Secretary, will be resigning from our respective positions, effective immediately.
Thomas and I are grateful for having the opportunity to serve on the board, and have enjoyed our interactions. Unfortunately, we do not agree with the recent direction the board is taking, as we do not believe it is in the best interest of the majority of the community, and therefore feel it is best for us to withdraw from the board of directors at this time.
Examples of the board’s direction, in which we cannot support, include, but are not limited to, the approval of a new playground, the approval of the south entrance sign, and decisions to replace trees that were removed due to damaging roots. In our opinion, the recent decision to authorize the expenditure of approximately $22,000 to create a new playground area near Parkview Ln and Oak Wind Dr was not fully vetted with the membership, nor were there a sufficient number of competing bids obtained to ensure competitive quoting. It is our opinion that not being extended the courtesy of being allowed to review, vote, or provide constructive input on substantial capital expenditures such as this is not appropriate. Additionally, we do not believe the location of this playground will positively impact the community, as this area is already a high traffic area with a persisting issue involving school bus drop offs and parking. The combination of a high traffic area and an open playground environment may leave the neighborhood vulnerable to a potentially catastrophic liability.
Together, Thomas and I strive to serve in the best interest of the residents of Kinderton Village, and at this time we do not feel that is achievable with the current direction being taken. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.
Regards,
Jason Garms and Thomas Bongaerts

Your right to fish in the KV pond is being protected by the Master Association. New lakeside signs have been erected which prohibit fishing by anyone other than residents. Please take care not to damage or abuse these expensive signs, and report any sign damage or fishing violations to the property manager, Ann Scofield, or to a Master Board member. |
Summer is nearly here, the schools are out, or will soon be, and children will be walking to the pool, riding bicycles, and playing in the common areas. We all want them to enjoy a fun, safe summer, but their safety is threatened by those drivers who choose to speed through our quiet community.
Speeding has become epidemic in many developments, including Kinderton Village. Our HOA leadership has not turned a blind eye to the problem, however. Ann Scofield, the KV property manager, along with Ken Bateman, a member of the Bermuda Run Town Council, and Lee Rollins the Bermuda Run Town Manager, are working to get more coverage from the Davie County Sheriff's department.
When driving through our community, or any other development for that matter, please be aware of your speed. The speed limit on all streets in Kinderton Village is 25 mph. Even at that speed, accidents can happen, particularly when cars are parked on the street. Children don't necessarily think before darting out from between cars, so please be extra vigilant and keep your speed at or below the posted limit.
Please do your part to keep our community safe

The HOA is pleased to announce that our swimming pool will open for the 2015 season on Saturday, May 16. The season will end on Sunday, September 12. Pool hours are 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. We will also offer lap swimming from 6:00 - 8:00 a.m. The fee to add these hours to your pool pass is $10.00. Please check the box for Lap Swimming on the form and enclose your check for $10.00. If you signed up and paid $10 last year, you do not need to send another check.
New Construction: If your home is new construction, please indicate on the Registration Form. The first pool pass issued is of no charge to you.
Click here to review the Pool Rules. Then complete the Pool Registration Form to register for the season and return it to Priestley Management by May 4. Please remember to sign the Form. Keep in mind that HOA dues must be current before the pool card can be activated. If your dues are paid in full through April 2015, your pool pass for 2015 will be activated when we receive your Registration Form. If your dues are delinquent, it will be 30 days before we have another report and can activate your pool pass. A fee of $35 will be charged to reactivate the pass once your account is current. If you violate the pool rules, the pool pass may be deactivated for the remainder of the pool season.
Please note that any new or replacement card issued will be sent via certified mail. Please allow 7-10 days for this process.
The HOA is also pleased to announce that a pool attendant has been hired for the summer. The pool attendant will ensure that only Kinderton Village residents and their guests have access to the pool. Adult residents will be asked to show the pool attendant a photo ID. The name and address on the photo ID must match the information from your Pool Registration Form.
Tip: Make a copy of your valid ID and attach it to the pool pass!
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SO THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN ENJOY THE POOL DURING THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WE WILL BE OUT OF THE OFFICE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE YOUR PASS OR TAKE YOUR REGISTRATION FORM TO THE POOL!
Thanks in advance for your cooperation. Have a great summer!

It’s a great time to work in the yard, spruce up porches /patios and get to know each other better. There is that on –going maintenance stuff like power washing and gutters, but some of you may have other changes in mind.
