IMPORTANT NOTICE

RODENTS IN COMMON AREAS
The community is experiencing a problem with rodents nesting on common property. This situation is creating a very serious health and safety risk. A contract pest control company will be treating the problem. However, to assist in ridding the community of this problem, residents are instructed to remove all personal items from the common- and limited-common areas. This includes all items stored under front porches, in stairwells and on rear patios.
As a reminder, the Association's rules prohibit residents from feeding wild animals on the property. Therefore, all bird feeders must be removed immediately, and food should never be placed on porches, patios or the common- or limited-common areas.
If stored items and bird feeders are not removed, these items will be removed by the Association without further notice and at the unit owner’s expense.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact TWC Association Management at 703-437-5800 or e-mail twcmanage@aol.com.

Fire Safety - The Use of BBQ Grills in Mosby's LandingPosted 5/4/2009 to 9/30/2009
FIRE SAFETY NOTICE
May 2009
For All Residents of Mosby's Landing:
This is an annual notice regarding the use of BBQ grills in Mosby’s Landing. It is intended primarily for new residents, but serves as a reminder to all members of the community.
One of the permanent rules of our condominium community states that the use or storage of a gas BBQ grill is strictly forbidden in Mosby’s Landing.

County Fire Marshals may impose strict penalties or assess substantial fines (up to $2,500, a year in jail, or both) for any violation of this ordinance.
On the other hand, the use of a charcoal or electric BBQ grill is permissible in the community as long as the grill is not used within 15 feet of any wooden structure, is attended by an adult at all times, and is completely extinguished before it is returned to its storage place.
Fire prevention and safety should be practiced inside and outside the home at all times. Your concerns should extend beyond the members your family, your home and its contents to that of your neighbors as well. Let’s all abide by the community’s rules regarding outdoor grills, enjoy the warmer weather, and have a safe BBQ season.

Revised Parking & Towing Policy ResolutionPosted 3/26/2009 to 5/31/2009
At a Board of Directors meeting on March 19, 2009, the Board passed a revision to the Association’s Policy Resolution No. 7, "Parking & Towing Policy." The revised resolution supersedes any prior parking resolution and is effective immediately.
In addition to bringing the language of resolution up-to-date and making needed editorial changes, the rules regarding the "use of non-reserved parking spaces" and "stored vehicles", now read as follows:
"Use of non-Reserved Parking Spaces. Non-reserved parking spaces are primarily intended for the use of visitors, guests and commercial vehicles whose operator is conducting business during normal workday hours. Residents who own more than one vehicle may also use a non-reserved parking space to temporarily park a vehicle which is moved and used on a frequent basis."
"Stored Vehicles. The storage of vehicles is prohibited. Any resident who has reason to park a vehicle in a non-reserved parking space for a period of two weeks or longer (for out-of-area vacation or business travel, for example) must notify the Managing Agent in writing to obtain prior approval. Failure to observe this rule will subject a vehicle parked in a non-reserved parking space for a period exceeding fourteen (14) days to being removed from the property. This waiver is not intended to accommodate the long-term storage of any vehicle on the property."
It is imperative that all residents be aware of and abide by the foregoing rules, as well as all other guidelines and regulations contained in the resolution.
To ensure full compliance with these rules and regulations, the Board will monitor the use of non-reserved parking spaces. Any vehicle which is determined to be in violation of this resolution will be subject to being removed from the property at the owner’s expense.
A copy of the revised Parking & Towing Policy resolution will be mailed to each unit owner. Non-resident unit owners are responsible for informing their tenant(s) of the contents of the revised Policy Resolution No. 7.

Conversion to Digital TV - UpdatePosted 1/28/2009 to 7/21/2009
CONVERSION TO DIGITAL TV - UPDATE
Not long after the original notice on this subject was published last year regarding the upcoming conversion to all-digital television by major broadcast stations, the Board of Directors unanimously agreed to continue providing "building antenna" service throughout Mosby’s Landing.
Using an experienced contractor, each rooftop antenna, along with its associated amplifier and wiring, was inspected and repaired or replaced as necessary. Each antennas’ ability to receive UHF digital signals, and their correct directional orientation, was confirmed. Therefore, for residents of the community who rely on the building’s antenna for TV reception, Mosby’s Landing is prepared for the transition.
However, please keep in mind the following:
If you own an older model "analog only" TV, and use the building’s rooftop antenna or an indoor "rabbit ear" antenna, it will be necessary to obtain and install a digital-to-analog converter. Converter boxes are available locally at major electronics stores, cost approximately $60 to $75, and can be purchased with or without using a $40 Government issued coupon.
Other than the foregoing, options for residents include buying a High Definition (HD) or "HD-ready" TV (no converter box needed), or subscribing to a cable, satellite, or DSL TV service. (According to the latest published information, customers of commercial, paid for TV services will not be affected by the conversion to digital broadcasting, regardless of the type of TV they use.)
The U.S. Congress is currently discussing postponing until 12 June the nationwide conversion to all-digital TV. However, until a decision is reached, the transition is still scheduled for 17 February 2009.
Visit www.dtv2009.gov on the Web or call 1-888-DTV-2009 to request coupons (two per household) or obtain additional information.
Board of Directors Vacancies NoticePosted 1/26/2009 to 3/22/2009
The Board of Directors of Mosby’s Landing is actively seeking volunteers to fill two Board vacancies. As stated in the Association’s "Declaration", these two positions are outlined as follows:
: The Secretary shall keep the minutes of all meetings of the Unit Owners Association and of the Board of Directors; he/she shall have charge of such books and papers as the Board of Directors may direct, and he/she shall, in general, perform all the duties incident to the office of the secretary of a stock corporation organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.
: The Treasurer shall have the responsibility for Condominium funds and securities and shall be responsible for keeping full and accurate financial records and books of account showing all receipts and disbursements, and for the preparation of all required financial data; he/she shall be responsible for the deposit of all monies and other valuable effects in the name of the Board of Directors, or the Managing Agent, in such depositories as may from time to time be designated by the Board of Directors. (Note: Working closely with the Association’s Management Company, the Treasurer’s position is more one of financial oversight rather than direct involvement in handling Association funds.)

Digital Television - What it means to you?Posted 3/18/2008 to 3/31/2009
DIGITAL TELEVISION
Residents who own a digital or "digital ready" TV and/or already subscribe to a digital TV service may disregard this notice. Others, please read on.
As mandated by the Federal Government, the major TV broadcast stations (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, etc.) will be converting from analog to digital broadcasting on February 17, 2009. The exact timing of this transition could change somewhat - possibly earlier or later - depending upon a number of as-yet-to-be-resolved matters. Some stations may broadcast both analog and digital signals (a technique known as simulcasting) for a period of time after next February, but eventually each major station will switch to all-digital broadcasting.
Do not be misled by advertising which suggests that a new TV will be needed for the "digital age." It will NOT! The analog TV set which many own and use should continue to work just fine. What will be needed, however, is an antenna capable of receiving Ultra High Frequency (UHF) digital signals and a "set top" box needed to convert digital signals to analog signals.
The Department of Commerce (DOC), through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), has implemented a program to provide up to two $40 coupons per household to offset the cost(s) associated with purchasing digital-to-analog conversion boxes. Coupons may be requested by calling, writing or applying on-line at NTIA’s excellent informational Website www.dtv2009.gov.
If you use an indoor, "rabbit ears" type of antenna, and it is rated for both Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) reception, it should be adequate to receive over-the-air digital signals from local, major broadcast stations. Check the manufacture’s specifications to confirm the antenna’s capabilities. If the antenna is not designed to receive TV signals in the UHF frequency range (470MHz to 806MHz), it will probably need to be replaced with an indoor antenna made specifically for UHF, digital TV reception.
If you use the "building antenna," provided by the Unit Owners’ Association, digital TV reception may be possible. In the coming months, the Board of Directors will arrange to have building antennae checked to determine their capability with regard to receiving digital TV signals. Afterwards, a decision will be made as to whether or not to continue providing this service throughout the community. A notice will be published announcing the Board’s findings.
If you receive TV signals by cable, satellite or Digital Subscribe Line (DSL), call or visit the company’s Website to find out what, if any, changes must be made to your current TV set-up to make it "digital ready" before February 17, 2009.

Dryer Vent CleaningPosted 5/22/2007 to 6/30/2007
IMPORTANT NOTICE- PLEASE READ
DRYER VENT CLEANING
Your association has worked out a special pricing arrangement with Top Hat Chimney Sweep to clean out your dryer vent. This is done with professional state of the art equipment. Before cleaning, airflow and temperature reading is taken at the exterior vent. Then with a blower the vent cleaning is performed. After the cleaning an airflow and temperature reading is taken. This will help to make your dryer run much more efficient and safe.
The normal price is $209.00 per unit but if Top Hat can schedule several units to be done in a day the rate is reduced to $179.00.
To schedule cleaning simply call Top Hat at 703 750-1900 and schedule a time to have your vent cleaned. The work will be done from June 12-30. They do work on Saturdays.
Please note that it is highly recommended that you have this done. Dryer vent buildup can cause fires. Owners not maintaining their vent in a safe manner can be held responsible for damage should a fire occur.
Sincerely,
TWC Association Management

Fire Safety Notice - Please ReadPosted 3/24/2006 to 10/1/2006
FIRE SAFETY
March 2006Dear Residents of Mosby's Landing:
Many people enjoy an outdoor BBQ when the weather is nice. The members of your Board of Directors are no exception.
However, given the recent spate of townhouse fires in the Metro area’s wooden communities, we feel it is necessary to remind all residents that the use or storage of gas BBQ grills is strictly forbidden in Mosby’s Landing.
This restriction is based on a Fairfax County Fire Prevention Code (Chapter 62, Section F-320.0 Cooking Devices) which prohibits the use or storage of BBQ grills which use liquid or liquefied petroleum fuels (propane) on porches, decks or balconies, or within 15 feet of any occupied building. County Fire Marshals may impose strict penalties or assess substantial fines (up to $2,500, a year in jail, or both) for any violation of this ordinance.
On the bright side, the use of a charcoal or electric BBQ grill is permissible in the community as long as the grill is not used within 15 feet of any wooden structure, is attended by an adult at all times, and is completely extinguished before it is returned to its storage place.
Questions or comments about this notice can be e-mailed to your board members at board@mosbyslanding.com.

Fiscal Year Budget 2006Posted 11/18/2005 to 12/31/2005At the November 2005 meeting, the Board of Directors adopted the fiscal budget for 2006. In anticipation of issuing new coupon books, which will be mailed the week of December 15th, the Board agreed that some advance explanation of the budget made good business sense. As many residents are aware, our community is aging. With this aging comes a multitude of maintenance and repair expenses that must be paid for by the community in order to maintain a "well kept" appearance. As a community, the aging process and plans to proceed with future projects will each contribute to the impact on the budget. The current board has always been sympathetic to raising fees without justifiable reason, and has never done so without first having extensive discussions on the impact to owners. This budget year was particularly difficult as the increase in monthly assesments (15%) is significantly higher than those of past years. We thank you for the fiscal responsibility you have entrusted to your board of directors. As a volunteer group, we welcome your comments at our monthly board meetings, the first 15 minutes of which are devoted to "open forum."

A meeting of the Board of Directors is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, April 19, 2005 at 6:30 PM at the Vienna American Legion Hall (330 North Center Street, Vienna, VA).The first 15 minutes of the meeting will be devoted to Open Forum.All association members are invited and encouraged to attend.CORRECTION-earlier posting referenced Tuesday, April 21, 2005 as the meeting date. This was incorrect, our apologies!
Dryer Vent CleaningPosted 2/23/2005 to 3/23/2005The Board of Directors strongly recommends that every unit owner contract privately to have their dryer vent fully cleaned from the inside out. Not only will this remove excess lint from the dryer vent hose, the vent pipe and the trap, but it will help prevent a dangerous dryer fire. Although there have been no reported problems in our community, the buildup of lint inside of the dryer ventilation system can be a source of fire and fires have occured in other communities. This preventative action will also enhance the performance of the dryer and ultimately save you money. There is a link to a qualified dryer vent maintence company under the "Links" section of this website.

December 2004 Board of Directors MeetingPosted 12/14/2004 to 1/6/2005As has been done in past years, the Board of Directors has decided to defer a regularly scheduled Board Meeting for December 2004. Owners: Please watch you mail, and this Website, for an announcement regarding the Annual Meeting of the Mosby''s Landing Unit Owners Association, scheduled for January 13, 2005.
December 2004 Community UpdatePosted 12/2/2004 to 1/2/2005
2005 BUDGET
The Association’s 2005 fiscal year budget was adopted by the Board of Directors on November 18, 2004, at a regularly scheduled monthly Board meeting. The budget calls for a 4.48% increase over the 2004 condominium fees. The Board, like all owners, is concerned about any increase in condominium fees, but it should be noted that this revenue supports the maintenance and value of our homes, and allows us to be proud of our community.
Payment booklets for 2005 will be mailed in December 2004, in time for the January 1, 2005 payment. Owners who have their fees debited directly from their banks need do nothing. A spreadsheet providing a breakdown of fees associated with the 2005 budget will be sent to owners along with a notice of the annual meeting scheduled for January 2005.
WATER INTRUSION
During 2004, it was brought to the Association’s attention by some ground level unit owners that water was seeping into their units at grade level. As you may have noticed, repairs to correct this condition involve excavation around the unit to replace failed foundation waterproofing membranes. This important issue affects all owners, not just garden level homes (insofar as the lower units are the foundations of the upper level units).
The Association has repaired the exteriors of those units where water intrusion was reported, and we expect this type of repair work will continue for the next few years. While there is some funding in the replacement reserves for our infrastructure components, based on the costs of these repairs, it is not sufficient to adequately address this problem. Accordingly, the 2005 budget contemplates increasing the reserve funding by $30,000 per year to address water intrusion issues. The Board of Directors is also developing a written policy regarding water intrusion which, once completed, will be sent to all owners for comment(s) prior to adoption.
PAINTING PROJECT
The conclusion of this project has been slow in coming, and we are grateful to all residents for their patience and understanding. The Board is pleased to report that, with the exception of some "punch list" items, painting of the buildings, porches, decks, railings and steps is complete. The Board is also pleased to report that the painting project came in $44,000 under the budgeted $100,000 estimate.
UNIT DOORS
The Board has not made a final determination regarding the timing of a global replacement of unit doors. It was discovered door sizes are not the same for each unit, or even the same unit types. As such, the Board has not been able to purchase a large quantity of standard doors, and thus realize a considerable cost savings. Owners who wish to replace their front door now, rather than wait for the Association to develop a replacement plan, may do so at their own expense with the continued requirement to obtain approval in advance from the Architectural Review Board (an ARB application form can be downloaded from this website).
COMMITTEES
After the 2004 annual meeting, the Board spent considerable time establishing a formal committee structure by which owners could participate in the activities of the association. Information and sign up sheets were sent to owners who expressed an interest in serving on a committee. While we did not receive a sufficient number of owners interested to comprise an elective, the Board is pleased to report a Covenants Committee (also referred to as the Architectural Review Board) was formed and is functioning. This committee has been working on a number of issues including a review of the Association’s rules and regulations, and updating architectural design guidelines.
CAR WASHING
While there are presently no rules or regulations which specifically preclude residents from washing their vehicle(s) on Association property, the Board has found it necessary to consider such a change to the regulations. Water and sewer costs have risen dramatically in recent years and, as a common expense, all owners are paying dearly through their monthly condominium fees for these increases. The Board, therefore, encourages all residents to conserve water usage wherever possible while strongly discouraging the practice of washing cars using a free-running garden hose.
SNOW REMOVAL
For newer members of the community, the Board would like to remind residents that they are responsible for removing snow from their reserved parking space, porch, deck, terrace and entry steps. The Association is responsible for clearing snow from the main community road (Glengyle Drive), visitor parking spaces (in limited instances), and common walkways throughout Mosby’s Landing. In 2004, the Board adopted a snow removal policy which is available for review on this website.

AUTUMN CLEAN-UPPosted 10/15/2004 to 11/8/2004
As you know, residents are required to make advance arrangements with the Association for the disposal of bulk items from their homes. However, during the month of October, the Association is placing a large dumpster on the property so residents may dispose of bulk items currently being kept in and around their homes. The dumpster will be located between Courtyard 7 and Courtyard 8 near the pool area on the Oakton side of the property.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of broken toys, bicycles and miscellaneous household items from your home and its immediate exterior surroundings (e.g. terraces, decks & balconies). Please be reminded that the rules and regulations of the Association prohibit the use of decks, terraces and balconies for the placement or storage of any item other than customary patio furnishings and owners are subject to the imposition of fines and other sanctions for the storage of household items in these areas.
The following items MAY NOT be placed in the dumpster:
· Large household appliances – including such items as washers/dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, etc. If you are replacing these items, your contractor must remove them from the property.
· Construction/Renovation Debris: If you have contractors working in your home, please inform them that they are not to use the Association’s dumpster and they are still required to remove their debris from the property. This includes any drywall, cabinetry, flooring materials, insulation, etc.
· Daily Household Trash & Recycling Materials: Please continue to place your daily household trash and recycling materials in the trash areas throughout the property. The dumpster areas should never be used to dispose of large bulk items that would require a special pick-up from the trash company to dispose of properly.
· Hazardous Materials (e.g. car batteries, paint strippers, etc.): Hazardous materials may not be disposed of in any of the association’s trash locations – ever. You must provide for the proper disposal of these items through the Fairfax County Landfill.
If you have any questions about what can or cannot be placed in the large dumpster, please feel free to contact Nichole Rios at 703-848-4328.
