Greetings,
neighbor. Welcome to Brandywine Bay! We applaud your decision to make
our
friendly community your new home. We hope you will enjoy living in our
neighborhood and take advantage of the many amenities that Brandywine
Bay has
to offer to families, no matter what your stage in life. We have an
interesting
and diverse mixture of retirees and empty nesters, families with young
children, newly married couples and young business professionals.
For an
opportunity to become acquainted with other neighbors and establish new
friendships, we invite you to explore our clubs and interest groups.
The
cost to join the Brandywine Bay Country Club is not included in the
dues you
pay to the Brandywine Owners' Association (BOA).
Enclosed
in this welcome package are business cards for Scott King,
Owner/Manager of the
Brandywine Bay Country Club. These cards offer you one complimentary
round of
golf or a one-day pass to the pool or tennis courts. To use the
complimentary
pass, you will need to call Scott at 247-2541 and to schedule a time
and day to
use the pass. Please present your card to Scott for the golf round or
to gain
access to the pool or tennis facility.
Brandywine
Bay also supports ladies' and couples' bridge clubs, a garden club,
plus
committees for architectural control issues, roads and drainage
concerns,
gates, security issues, a community newspaper, neighborhood
representatives,
storage yard and beautification - all staffed by interested volunteers.
Volunteers are the backbone of our community, and your help is needed
in all
areas.
Please
contact your neighborhood representative to make sure that your name is
correctly spelled and your address and phone number are correct. This
information is used to update our phone directories and our homeowners'
database.
Many
newcomers do not realize the complexity of Brandywine Bay. There are
six
subdivisions, which have their own covenants, boards, and ACC. They are Hammock Place, English Turn,
Reserve, Reserve Green, Cedarwood, and Village Green. Other
subdivisions
include Section I, Section II, Oak Drive Extension, the Honours,
Brandywine
North, Chelsea Park, Chelsea Park North, and the Tree Houses have their
own set
of restrictive covenants. Collectively, all of these subdivisions
compose the
Master Association. For information on these subdivisions and copies of
their
documents please, refer to the Master Association. Your closing
attorney or
real estate agent should have provided you with a copy of the
Restrictive
Covenants for your specific subdivision. A general Guide to Brandywine
Bay
Restrictive Covenants is enclosed.
To
become more familiar with your subdivision, or if you want to review
the
Covenants of any subdivision in Brandywine please, visit our web site
at
www.brandywineowners.org. All of the covenants are posted online. The
Board of
Directors and Architectural Control Committee enforce the covenants.
The
actual covenants are recorded in the Carteret County Courthouse in
Beaufort. The book and the page number
are provided on our web site, if you want to review the actual 1egal
document.
Where the covenants have been amended several times over the years, we
have
provided a summary that shows the various amendments in one document.
If you
do not receive a Sound Waves, our monthly paper, please contact Steve
Mock at 727-0066, or you may pick up a copy at
the Brandywine Pro Shop or at
Golf and
Shore Properties, which is located near the US 70 West Entrance.
Gate
access cards/micro clickers are available from Doris Ullman 240-1436.
If you
received your access card or clicker from a former resident, please let
Doris
know so that she can update her gate database-otherwise, you may be
locked out!
If you
need boat or trailer storage, contact Jerry Garner, BOA Storage Yard
Chairperson, at 726-0842 to apply for a storage space.
Your
street representative should have given you a Brandywine phone
directory with
this welcome package. The directories are printed once a year and are
distributed to each homeowner.
Our
Brandywine Owners' Association public meetings are held at 7 P.M. on
the last Thursday of each month at the Pro Shop. Information regarding
our
community is
given at this time. Major concerns are given to the Board prior to the
monthly
meeting so that the Board can act upon an issue and present a solution. This procedure enables the Board to
understand concerns and to investigate issues without involving others
time on
the matter.
The
Board of Directors encourages you to attend the monthly meetings and to
become
involved in your community. You are encouraged to share your ideas with
Board
members so that we can continue to maintain and improve the lifestyle
and
property values in Brandywine Bay.
Brandywine
Owners' Association invoices for our annual dues are sent out the
middle of
April, and payment is due on May 1st. The dues cover ground
maintenance, gates
and cameras, liability insurance, road maintenance, drainage,
beautification,
and other expenses necessary in maintaining the community.
Please
contact your street representative or any member of the Board of
Directors
regarding any questions, or if they can be of any further assistance. The Sound Waves lists the current BOA Board of
Directors, as well as committee chairpersons.
