Dear
Homeowner:
For
a long time, many homeowners here in the complex have been extremely interested
in obtaining cable television service. It appears that now it may be possible,
but only if a few conditions are first met.
Up
until this time, the cable company did not want to install "cable",
in our complex, due to the high cost of (our) underground utilities. A few
weeks ago, I received a letter from Dimension Cable which outlined some options
we now have if we really want "cable". Due to our CC&Rs, it
appears that only one of their options is available for us to even discuss and
decide on. It is as follows:
"Dimension Cable installs all internal wiring
and necessary electronic equipment (including a tie to Dimension's existing
cable plant) and provides cable service to the residents on an individual
basis. Under this option, Dimension Cable would require a one‑time
capital contribution from the homeowner's association of approximately $4600.
Prepayment of capital contribution installation charges would be required prior
to the start of construction.''
The
CC&Rs in Section 3.2(a) "Common Elements‑Alteration and
Improvement" say that "there shall be no alterations or further
improvement of common elements without‑the approval in writing of the
record owners of not less than 20 apartment units and which does not interfere
with the rights of any owners without their consent, may be done if the owners
who do not approve are relieved from the cost thereof. The amount of any cost
not so assessed shall be assessed to the approving apartment unit owners in
equal amounts. All apartment unit owners shall own a full 1/38 interest in the
common elements which are altered or further improved, whether or not the
apartment unit owner contributes to the cost thereof.''
Therefore:
if 20 units or more want it, they will split the $4600 cost among themselves,
but everyone will be able to hook up after completion. (The initial cost
divided 20 ways is $230 each.) The more units that approve and pay for it, the
cheaper that this initial cost will be. But remember. you will pay the
regular monthly cable charges if you use it
However,
before any construction can begin, we will need: 1) the approvals of at least
20 units in writing, and, the total installation cost of $4600. If
"cable" is approved, the "yes" voters will then be
contacted about their share of the installation payment.
If
you approve, Please countersign below with your unit number and date.
