Winter is Here

Just a reminder not to leave your car parked in one spot along the curbs and to use your carports. Our plow service cannot keep the curb spots clear if cars are stationary for long periods of time. The association reserves the right to remove vehicles from the property at owner’s expense for those who do not pay attention. Please do not park your vehicle over the sidewalks or in front of handicap ramps.

2020 Association Fee increase of $10.00 per month to $235.00 beginning January 1, 2020. Last increase was January 2015.

Capital Improvements at Northwood

We will be updating and remodeling the clubhouse in 2020 making it more current and enjoyable for everyone. We will be replacing several hot water heaters that are reaching replacement age. In addition, some landscape changes are being considered as well.

Updating Bylaws 

We will be updating our Articles of Incorporation, the Master Deed and Bylaws this year. They have not been revised since the origination of the association in 1998. The process will involve two phases. Phase I will be updates to the Michigan Condominium Act. Phase 2 will include changes more specific and pertinent to our Association. We will need everyone to participate to get this done.

The attorney drafting the technical amendments will be at Northwood Hills at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, January 25th at the clubhouse for any questions. He will be back again at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 13th. The meetings are to make residents familiar with the changes. No voting on the amendments will be done at this time.

Marijuana Use

Please be advised that Northwood Hills adheres to the Federal Law. Although 18 states including Michigan have legalized the medical and recreational use of marijuana. Federal law does not recognize or protect medicinal or recreational possession or use. The federal government can still prosecute people who are otherwise protected under State laws but are in violation of Federal Law. Violators of Federal Laws regarding Marijuana use in your condominium at Northwood Hills are still subject to fines by the Association.

Have a nice Winter
