Dear Village at Glen Ridge Condominium Owner:
As part of our ongoing effort to operate, administer, maintain, and reasonably protect the Village at Glen Ridge Condominium community, we are proposing an amendment we hope you will approve for inclusion in our Declaration. Your consent is necessary for the amendment to become part of our governing documents.
To protect the community from a potential safety risk, the Board is proposing an amendment to the Declaration that will prohibit sex offenders for whom sheriff notification is required from living in a home within our community association. The amendment only applies to those offenders for whom public notice of their intent to live within our community is sent by the sheriff. If we receive a notice from the sheriff that an offender is living in our community, our collective safety and property values are at risk, and so those individuals would be prohibited from residing on the property.
Note that the prohibition amendment is limited to banning offenders from living or residing within our Association; it does not ban an offender from owning a unit within the Association, as this would potentially conflict with federal and Ohio law. Thus, while an offender could unit a home in our community they cannot live here. With the passage of the amendment, owners will also not have to decide whether they need to disclose the presence of a serious sex offender when selling their unit.
Our governing documents require 75 percent approval of the Association’s voting power to pass the amendment. Voting remains open until the amendment is either approved or it fails.
Whether you are in favor of or against the proposed amendment, please sign, date, and return the enclosed Consent Ballot to our property management company, PMI Scioto Metro. We appreciate your prompt response.
Should you have any questions pertaining to about this amendment, please feel free to contact any Board member or Casey Farmer, our community association manager, at 614-285-5629. Thank you for your time and anticipated cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE VILLAGE AT GLEN RIDGE
CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
