Tidewater Colony Open Space Association

The Tidewater Colony Open Space Association is an umbrella association which manages the common amenities shared by the members of the three resident associations making up Tidewater Colony. In addition to your condo association (Tidewater II, 168 units), there is a separate association for the townhouses (110 homes) and the garage condos (Tidewater I, 53 units). The Open Space Association controls the amenities such as the pool, clubhouse, exercise room, tennis courts, walking path, tot lots, barbecue pit, and the other open space areas around the perimeter of the community. Any issues concerning these areas are under the purview of the Open Space Association. Of your monthly Home Owners' Association (HOA) fee you pay, $26 goes to support this association. Think of the Open Space Association as the "recreation area" association.

Violations/Hearings/Fines
These and other rules and bylaws are strictly enforced. The first reported violation will trigger a letter from the community's management company pointing out the conduct that is alleged to be a violation and asking that it be corrected. The second reported violation of the same rule will cause a letter to be sent, notifying the owner the Board will hold a hearing at its next regular meeting at which the owner will be given the opportunity to show cause why he or she should not be fined for the recurring violation. At the Board's sole discretion, that second and all future violations can -- and usually are -- met with a fine, typically in the amount of $50.00, which is applied to your homeowner's account, and prompt payment is expected.
Homeowner/landlords are responsible for the conduct of their tenants. Any conduct by a tenant in violation of these and other rules and bylaws will be communicated to the homeowner/landlord, as described above, with copy to the tenant. Any fine imposed for a recurring violation is levied against the property account, for which the homeowner/ landlord is responsible. Accordingly, homeowner/landlords are strongly encouraged to ensure that tenants are aware of the rules and bylaws and abide by them.

BUILDING REPRESENTATIVES
These neighbors help monitor the buildings for problems, and notify Victory Management, distribute newsletters, keep Bulletin Boards tidy and up-to-date. They take an active and important part in the community.
