St. Alban’s Square Neighborhood Association has been named the Association of the Year in the category of “mixed use” by the North Carolina Chapter of the Community Association Institute. Dave Smith and other Council members received the award at a recognition luncheon in Raleigh on September 21, 2007. This is an exciting honor for a great neighborhood!

The Association relies on the collection of assessments (or dues) as a means of meeting operations expenses and of maintaining adequate reserve funds for neighborhood maintenance. Problems that were experienced by some homeowners within the past year have improved and the number of delinquent accounts has decreased. However, there still appears to be some confusion regarding penalties applied for late payments. The Council of Stewards has requested Abbott to take action according to the Assessment Policy as revised in early 2006. This policy was published in the March 2006 newsletter and can be found on the neighborhood website by clicking on “Documents / Forms” and then on “Collection Policy.” The March article provided a good summary of the penalty fees and can also be found in back issues listed on the website.
To emphasize this policy again, please note the following:
If you have questions regarding your account, please contact Abbott Enterprises immediately. Please be sure that the mailing address for your account is to the Post Office box and not to the street address. It might also be important to note that the COS is unaware of payment problems occurring on any account that is paid by monthly bank draft. If you do not already utilize this method of payment, please consider this trouble-free approach to payment of assessments.
Townhome owners are familiar with a number of concrete parking pads located along the byways. These pads will generally accommodate two vehicles of average size. Residents should be aware that these parking pads provide reserved parking space for townhome owners who are in units with casitas. On most byways these pads are marked with the unit number. On others, the spaces may not be marked, but are in close proximity to the casita unit.
These spaces should not be used by neighborhood residents for general or guest parking unless they own a casita and the space is designated for their unit. Since many of the garage apartments are occupied by family members or rented to tenants, it is important to respect this space so that the renter or resident will always have a place to park.
During the day, service vehicles often utilize these spots to avoid blocking byway traffic. However if anyone not assigned to one of these spots wants to temporarily park on the pad, that person should receive permission from the owner. Cooperation and compliance with this assignment is greatly appreciated.
