Winston Ridge Board of Directors Meetings

HOA Board, meetings, news
Good Afternoon Winston Ridge Homeowner, We hope this email finds you well. As the Board of Directors for Winston Ridge, we want to inform you of a change in the monthly Board meetings beginning with our November 19th meeting.

Winston Ridge 2025 Budget Outline/Breakdown

HOA Board, news, Uncategorized
Dear Homeowners, The primary responsibility of the Winston Ridge Homeowner’s Association Board is to ensure the fiduciary strength of the Association. A status report regarding this was given at our Annual Meeting held on September 17th, 2024. Subsequently the Board announced in a Regular Meeting that a 9.1% increase in annual assessments from $550 to $600 was approved in its July Executive Session. This will take effect on January 1, 2025. Members making their payments automatically will not need to take any action to ensure their assessment payments remain current. The backdrop for this decision includes our collective concerns such as: Unknown extra ordinary expenses to be lawfully assigned to the HOA such as stormwater pond maintenance, Unknown build-out timeline for completion of the sub-division, Continuing and unknown inflationary pressures,…

Decision on Gambling/Playing Games of Chance

community, HOA Board, news
Dear HOA Members, In August, during an open forum at the HOA Board meeting a number of residents brought to the Board's attention that their interest in playing games of chance for small sums in the Plantation Activity Center were being denied.  The reason for the denial being that it was against North Carolina law.  The Board determined that it would seek the opinion of its lawyer on this issue. In a timely manner Elite referred the inquiry to Jordon Price Law Firm and the Board received a two-page in-depth response which it considered at its October 15th Board meeting.  Therefore, based on case law, NC statues, and potential cancellation of liability insurance, the Board has resolved the following:  No gambling as is traditionally understood to contain three elements -…

Plantation Pool is open until September 29 at 6pm.  Listeria Pool has been closed for the season.

community, news, pools
To our neighbors still enjoying a chilly fall swim season: Please pardon the recent miscommunication regarding both pools being open for an extended pool season.  Our pool contract has the extended season effective only for the Plantation Pool.  Listeria Pool has been closed for the season.   With the very light use of both pools and in particular the Listeria Crest pool, we plan on repeating this contractual arrangement in the future to be mindful of maximizing your swimming enjoyment while being efficient with the use of your HOA dues.  If overcrowding becomes a problem with the Plantation Pool during the extended season, we will, of course, revisit having two pools open for an extended season.

Message from the Board

community, HOA Board, news
Dear Winston Ridge Owners: The Board of Directors is aware of the Facebook discord related to the recent publication of trash can screening compliance expectations and also recent compliance violation letters sent by Elite from their latest neighborhood inspection and would like to allay the emotional turmoil that has arisen neighbor to neighbor and neighbors to Board.   Right or wrong, for years, property owners and HOA members have complained that Elite and the developer have done nothing for this neighborhood.  Cries went out to fire Elite for their lack of performance.  Then some things started happening.  Over the past two years, the second pool has opened, the HOA Board has been turned over to the neighborhood, and Elite has changed property managers for Winston Ridge.  The neighbors who served on the…
