MEMORANDUM

December 23, 2014

To: BCA Board of Directors

From: John S. Bailey

Topic: Cover Memo for January 5, 2015 Board of Directors Meeting

Please note that the Board meeting will take place at the Branderl1lill Church.

Item 6: Reports & Appointments

At this meeting, the Board should approve the committee appointments of those who have served previously and now desire to serve on a different or additional committee. At this time there are two appointments to be made.

Appointments to be made:

Dianne Cardea Carol Russek

Maintenance & Ecology Hearing Panel

(from ccq (in addition to ARB)

Additional appointments will be made at the February meeting, as some committees were unable to meet during December and thus we still need to have the new volunteers attend a meeting of their respective committee and meet the Board liaison prior to the Board's official appointment.

Item 7: Report o{the Special Committee on Abandoned and Rental Properties (SCARP)

The report of the Special Committee will be presented by 1 st Vice-President and the Chair of SCARP, Greg Pearson. The Board will discuss the work of the committee and its recommendations and vote, at this time, only to formally receive the committee's report. Extensive efforts will continue to be made in communicating the report of the committee to the membership throughout the month of January. The report contains some recommendations that will require the Board to consider a referendum on changing the covenants. In order to include a referendum matter with the annual Board of Directors election ballot, a decision on the committee's recommendations will be needed by February.

Item 8: Changes to the Financial Policy

The Finance Committee recommends two changes to the Financial Policy at this time. (Additional changes are being made and will be presented to the Board in February.) The first makes changes to the existing language with regard to the intricacies of the process for collection of delinquent accounts. The second recommendation creates a new section in the Financial Policy dealing with the sale and use of BCA assets .

Executive Session

There is a need to conduct an Executive Session at the end ofthis meeting, as there are several legal matters to discuss.

Other:

Memorandum of Agreement with Midlothian Tennis Club

Last month, the Board deferred a decision on this topic to the January meeting. However, since that time, I have met with the leadership of the MTC and had more detailed conversations with them about a marketing arrangement. A revised agreement is in the works and should be ready for the Board's consideration at the February meeting.

ON ABANDONED AND RENTAL PROPERTIES

COMMITTEE ON ABANDONED AND RENTAL PROPERTIES 2014

A. INTRODUCTION:

The Committee met six times from August-November 2014. The Committee included Chair Greg Pearson, Board of Directors member Jack Bettin and residents Tommy Baer and Tom Jacobson. Baer is an attorney and Jacobson is a VCU professor after serving as Planning Director and Revitalization Director for Chesterfield County. Community Manager John Bailey, Property Management Director Al Raimo, and BCA attorney Vijay Mago provided important assistance.

B. CHARGE:

BCA President Charlie Davis appointed the committee members. The Brandermill Board asked the Committee to review BCA procedures regarding abandoned and rental properties currently in use by BCA staff and make recommendations for any changes to the Board at its January 5 meeting. The Committee' s focus was on its concern about the negative impact that abandoned and poorly maintained rental housing have on adjacent properties and the overall quality oflife and property values ofBranderrnili homes.

C. COMMUNICATION TO THE MEMBERS:

The Committee has sought maximum communication with the membership. All of its meetings have been open to members and minutes of those meetings are available to members from the BCA office. Member Voice has been conducted during each meeting.

The Committee has requested the Neighborhood Representatives Council and the Communications Department to report on its deliberations. The Committee chair has attended the two most recent meetings of the BCA Finance Committee and reported on its progress. After approval by its members, this report will be made available to the NRC and Finance Committee for any recommendations or endorsements. It is requested that the Communications Department post the report on the BCA website as soon as possible in advance of the January 5 Board meeting.

BCA President Charlie Davis has scheduled the Board to receive the Committee report on January 5, when it will be discussed in its entirety. Members of the Association will be able to comment on the report during Member Voice.

At the Board' s February 2 meeting, it is anticipated there will be an additional Member Voice prior to Committee report being discussed further and any vote on its recommendations. Should the Board decide to recommend a change in the Covenants, that vote would authorize those changes to be on this spring' s ballot. Any changes to the Covenants would require a minimum of 20% of the total membership voting with a minimum of75% of them necessary for approval.

As of the date this report is being approved by the Committee, no one has communicated any opposition to the Committee' s position on abandoned properties. Six members - during Member Voice, by phone, email and in person - have opposed an additional fee being charged to

landlords for a rental oversight program. Those members indicated they owned or managed rental properties.

D. OVERVIEW OF ABANDONED PROPERTIES:

Abandoned properties are residences that are vacant without the property owner or tenant residing there and which owe back assessments andlor have additional charges against them for violations ofBCA standards. As of the Committee's last meeting, there were 10 homes considered to be abandoned, including the residences on Winterberry Ridge and Fortune's Ridge upon which the BCA Board has already authorized its attorney to place a lien. Those two homes also owe back property taxes to the county, but the other eight do not.

With about 80 neighborhoods in Brandermill, there is no neighborhood with more than one abandoned home.

There are another five properties that the BCA considers to be vacant and another property that is either abandoned or vacant. Two of those homes do not owe assessments and have no violations. None of the six owe property taxes to the county or have been turned over for collection.

According to BCA legal counsel, no action may be taken against an abandoned property unless there is an outstanding assessment or violation charge against it. Though a property owner may abandon his home and still continue to pay assessments, if the property is not properly maintained, it would create a violation.

E. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ABANDONED PROPERTIES:

Establish firm deadlines to remedy the properties.

1. Have as a part of the BCA Financial Policy that those properties be turned over to the BCA attorney for a 60 day notification of placing a lien on the property when assessments and/or violations persist for 90 days or more.

Reasons:

a) Collecting back assessments andlor for violations for declining properties takes too long. Staff says the process for turning a member over to the BCA attorney for collection can take up to ten months in a "best case scenario." Some abandoned homes have been in that status for over five years, putting stress on their neighbors and declining their property values.

b) If the abandoned property has been remedied or partially remedied through the BCA Self Help program on its upkeep performed by an outside contractor and paid for by the BCA, that cost is also recoverable.

c) Staff said the reason for inaction on abandoned properties was previous boards had not prioritized it.

3

Page 11: BRANDERMILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING January 5, 2015 …s3.amazonaws.com/fp00002-bca/content_entry/5101/20150105... · 2014. 12. 28. · BRANDERMILL

d) The Hearing Panel shall consider any violations against an abandoned property not later than 75 days after the BCA has issued a violation notice. Recommendation by Hearing Panel in favor of turning the property over to the BCA attorney for collection and lien is required for the process to proceed.

e) The Committee believes that when an abandoned property is still unoccupied and now 3 months in arrears on assessments and/or violations, it unlikely the property owner will meet BCA standards.

f) Because of its appearance, the property would have already begun to impact the neighborhood' s property values.

g) The deterioration of the property may invite rodents and other pests or the county may end up declaring the property uninhabitable and posting a sign on the property.

h) Such properties may be vandalized or invite unauthorized use.

i) The community manager said his experience has shown that when homeowner associations consider placing liens, those owners are more likely to bring their homes into compliance.

j) BCA staff will have the flexibility to work with property owners it believes are earnest in correcting their deficiencies.

2. Sixty (60) days after the lien has been filed, have the BCA attorney file for a non-judicial foreclosure to sell the property.

Reasons:

a) State law requires a minimum 60-days lien before a foreclosure action. However, said action must occur within 12 months of the lien being filed.

b) BCA Covenants permit the collection of assessments and violations, late fees, attorney fees, court costs, interest, etc. in a foreclosure.

c) In addition to a foreclosure, a lien can be collected by wage garnishment or bank account levies.

d) lfthe property still has a mortgage on it, it is likely that the bank will purchase it, and move to sell the property. The new owner would be responsible to correct any violations. Given the property owner's noncompliance, the BCA would be better off dealing with the bank.

Page 12: BRANDERMILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING January 5, 2015 …s3.amazonaws.com/fp00002-bca/content_entry/5101/20150105... · 2014. 12. 28. · BRANDERMILL

e) In the unlikely event that the BCA would end up owning the property at the end of the foreclosure process, the BCA would move to put the property on the market for purchase by any potential buyer including "flippers."

3. Time Line Summary

a) Day I : Abandoned property becomes delinquent in assessments or incurs a violation.

b) Day 2-30: Property owner of abandoned property with violations is notified by BCA staff of a Hearing Panel date.

c) Day 31 -75: Hearing Panel meets to determine its recommendation on the abandoned property.

d) Day 90: Abandoned property is turned over to the BCA attorney for collection and notification of a lien to be filed against the property if sufficient improvement (as determined by BCA staff) hasn't been met.

e) Day 150: BCA attorney files a non- judicial foreclosure for the abandoned property to be sold.

F. OVERVIEW OF RENTAL PROPERTIES:

Because there is no requirement in our documents to register a property as a rental, the BCA doesn't know how many rentals there are in Brandermill. The Committee views not knowing for sure which properties are rental as a problem area.

However, the SCA mails its quarterly assessments to about 450 addresses other than the actual property address, so staff and the Committee assumed those properties are rental. That would make 12% ofthe homes in Branderrnill rental. However, a true and accurate accounting of the number of rental properties is elusive because there is no requirement to register properties as rentals.

Committee member Tommy Baer, an attorney, said BCA documents place the legal responsibility for meeting community standards on the property owner and not the renter since the owner signed Brandermill's agreements at the time of purchase. Rental agreements typically require the renter to maintain the property, but few renters have copies of BCA documents and are frequently surprised when they are notified by copy (the original goes to the owner) of a violation.

At the Committee's request at its second meeting, staff reported that it had 323 non-compliant properties for keeping their properties maintained. Of that total, 259 were owner-occupied or vacant, which represented 7.8% of the owner-occupied properties. Of the 448 assumed rental properties at that time, 64 or 14.3% ofthe rentals were noncompliant or almost double the percentage of owner-occupied homes.

5

Page 13: BRANDERMILL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING January 5, 2015 …s3.amazonaws.com/fp00002-bca/content_entry/5101/20150105... · 2014. 12. 28. · BRANDERMILL

Committee member Tom Jacobson, a former county planning director, said that "in general, numerous national and Chesterfield County studies document that rental single family properties in older neighborhoods were in worse physical condition than owner-occupied properties. The County Planning Department focused concern on neighborhoods that exhibited a trend of increasing rental single homes rising over 20% of all homes.

About 12 years ago, Jacobson said the county attempted to pass an ordinance requiring rental properties to be inspected annually inside and out paid for by an inspection fee levied against the property owner. That Chesterfield proposal failed by one vote.

G. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES:

1. The Committee believes BCA staff should be informed on which properties are rental, including tenant contact information. However, BCA documents do not require it.

2. Therefore, the Committee unanimously recommends that a Covenant change be considered by the BCA Board of Directors and recommended to the membership for a vote in the spring of 2015, and preferably included in the annual election ballot mailing. The specific Covenant change would require property owners to notify the BCA if their properties are rental and keep current the tenant contact information.

3. Owners of rental properties would be required to pay a tenant fee equal to 50% of the annual residential assessment. Said fee would be in addition to the regular annual assessment.

The tenant fee is recommended because:

a) BCA amenities are available for use to both the property owner and the tenant.

b) to pay for the cost of the BCA providing a copy of applicable BCA documents to the tenant.

c) the BCA would incur an administrative cost of registering and maintaining a list of tenants and their relevant information, which may require the addition of another employee.

d) BCA records indicate that rental properties have more violations than owner-occupied properties.

e) the BCA will be conducting an annual 360-degree inspection of rental properties.

f) it is the consensus of the committee that the number of rental properties in Brandermill may be increasing and will likely impact property values negatively if it

reaches a critical point. The increase in rental properties, however, is a national trend, which could change in the future.

4. Furthermore, it is recommended that the percentage of residential properties that are allowed to he rentals be capped at 15% of the total number of residential lots. If the amount of rental properties as of the date of the Covenant change is determined to exceed 15%, existing rental properties would be grandfathered from the limit until such time as the property has a change in ownership.

5. The Committee recommends that the hudget for the Self Help program be increased when budgeting permits.

The program should be increased because:

a) It offers the quickest means of remedying the substandard appearance of an abandoned or rental property.

b) When the Self Help improvements are completed by an outside contractor, the cost of those improvements are passed along to the property owner.

H. CONCLUSION: By consensus, this report on Abandoned and Rental Properties is agreed to by the Committee members.
