A reserve study is a long-term capital budget planning tool that identifies the current status of the reserve fund plan to offset ongoing maintenance for common areas. In addition, it is used to plan for major common area expenditures as they occur.

 

Arbor Grove's Reserve Study can be found on the website under the Finance Committee section. If you have questions regarding the Reserves, please get in touch with a board member.

1. Lawn care including grass cutting, weed control, fertilization, mulching, pruning, and edging.
2. Snow removal from driveways and sidewalks. The board with the recommendation of the landscape        committee will establish their own standard for snow removal.
3. Operation and maintenance of the clubhouse and pool.
4. Common area lighting of the entry and grounds.
5. Insurance of the structures excluding any improvements made by a resident and any resident’s personal belongings. The Association insurance covers all you originally purchased other than mechanical items.
6. Maintenance of the exterior of your home.
7. Driveways as well as concrete walk and curb maintenance.
8. Professional management of the association.
9. A limited amount of reserves for future exterior repairs and replacement

The association is responsible for the exterior of all buildings, all driveways, lawns, landscaping, lawn/street lighting, entrance improvements, and the clubhouse and pool. Eventually, the association may hire a management company to manage the day-to-day operations of the community. Basically, you control the inside of your home, and the association maintains and manages everything else.

For a complete listing of homeowner responsibilities please refer to the covenants.  

The Terms and Conditions contain important information regarding renting the Clubhouse. A copy is available for review in the Document section of the website or click here.  You will also receive an email copy when you reserve the Clubhouse. 

You can utilize the internet anywhere in the Clubhouse. The network name and password are posted on the bulletin board inside the Clubhouse.

Yes.  However, our Association has policies regulating the use of the clubhouse and pool. Up to four guests are permitted; guest under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an Owner/ Resident at all times. Please see the use of amenities document on our website for details regarding use of the clubhouse and pool.

Limited modifications will be considered assuming they conform to specifications adopted by the Association.  Examples of such modifications are the installation of storm or screen doors or additional landscaping. Any request must be in writing and should include a complete description of the materials and a location sketch. Remember that in all cases any additions or modification require advanced approval in writing. If you have a question or desire to make a modification, you can use the forms on the website or contact a member of board of directors. The maintenance committee will review your request and make a recommendation to the board of directors who will approve or deny the request and provide written confirmation.

Rules specify that pets must be on a leash at all times in the common area. Owners are required to clean up pet waste immediately. The cooperation of all pet owners is required. The Association generally sets a limit of 2 pets per residence. If you have any questions, please consult the Covenants and Bylaws.

The Arbor Grove website can be accessed at www.arborgrove. org.   There’s no need to login to view the Homepage where you’ll have quick access to seeing  Announcements, Events and FAQs.

Many pages will require you to login with a username and password to access them. These are pages are only available to members and cannot be seen by the general public. This protects the private information on our website such as your name, address and email addresses.

As part of the setup we created a username and password for all current residents.  You will use the same entry for both your username and password.  ONLY New residents will use the register * feature to log in.  

We used your address and your first name to create your initial username and password. Each resident will have their own login. 

Here is an example using a fictitious member:

Margaret Bacon ………address 750A Arbor Parkway

First 4 characters of the address ………     750a

First 2 characters of first name   ………      ma

Add 2 zeroes (8 characters required) …  00   

Margaret’s username and password =    750ama00

NOTE – Margaret’s husband Bill has his own login which will be 750abi00

We recommend you change the password to your own after your initial login.  We used all lowercase letters however when making your own username and password you may use uppercase and the symbols listed below.

The requirements for all username and passwords are:

• 8 – 40 characters,
• case sensitive,
• these characters are accepted a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ­_  , - , ! , @ , #
