Message from the President

 

“Season’s Greetings”

 

You can feel it in the air! No, it’s not the early December snow - but another holiday season that’s upon us. And of course, what would a holiday season be without the many wonderful decorations that illuminate our community? Whether it’s bows on the lampposts or candles in the windows, many of the holiday decorations seem to enhance the colonial look of the Fairlington Community. I hope that during the rush of the holiday season, you can all take a break for a few minutes to walk around and simply enjoy the flavor of the season within our community. At 60 years old, it’s still going strong.        

 

From an administrative perspective, the holiday season also marks the halfway point through the fiscal year for the Mews. In the last few newsletters, I spoke about the variety of ways that the Board was working to improve communication here at the Mews. Some of you may have already received a call from one of your Board members to follow up on a work order that you had placed. Your satisfaction with the speed and quality of the work is important to us and we would like your feedback. If you have not yet received a call, but feel the need to express your experience, please feel free to contact me at the number listed at the end of the message. We recognize that at the speed at which life moves, it is sometimes difficult to be reached by phone. For this reason the Board has recommended that the Newsletter Committee be expanded into a Communication Committee. The responsibility of the existing committee would expand to include communication through all forms of media. It is also expected that the type of information managed would expand to include community events, local news of importance, safety messages and perhaps, in the future, a means for on-line work order submission and tracking as well as automatic fee paying.

 

Also, new for 2004 is the formation of a Kids’ Committee. This newest ad hoc committee will actually be a subcommittee to the existing Recreation Committee. The goal of the committee is to bring the children of the Mews together, providing a forum for them to voice their ideas and opinions on matters that directly affect them. While the roles and responsibilities of this Committee are still being formulated, it is clear that the key to the success of this effort is an adult sponsor who can assist the children in their self-governance. If you are interested in this challenging and rewarding opportunity, please contact me. 

 

 It’s probably a safe bet to say that within the next few weeks, many of you reading this will be spending time visiting with extended family members – either in your home or theirs. While it is true that you can’t pick your family, isn’t it nice to know that you can pick your neighborhood? On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to wish you and your family all of the best of the season and a Happy New Year.   

 

Happy Holidays!

New Bus Line Added for Fairlington

 

Unbeknownst to most of Fairlington, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has revised bus route 22 and will operate buses down 34th Street. The new route will begin on December 29, 2003.

 

From Shirlington, the new service would operate over a revised routing via South Fairlington to the Pentagon as follows: from Quincy and 28th Streets, continue on South Quincy Street, 31st Street South, South Abingdon Street, 34th Street South, South Stafford Street, 32nd Road South, Quaker Lane, I-395 to the Pentagon, and return.  From Ballston, the service would operate via the current 22 B, C routes to Shirlington (22 C operates via Culpepper Gardens).

 

According to James Hamre, Transit Program Coordinator for Arlington County, “We advertised the service change and public hearing in numerous locations and had contacted all the civic associations along the routes.” However, at the December 9 meeting of the Fairlington Citizens Association, FCA officers made it clear that no one had notified Fairlington. Furthermore, only riders on the existing Route 22 were given leaflets about the change at the Pentagon and not riders of Route 25 which now serves Fairlington.

 

A new bus stop sign has already been installed at the corner of 34th Street and Wakefield. Further information on the Route is available online at www.fairlington.org.

 

State Delays Christmas Tree Grinch Law

 

The following information on the use of live Christmas trees was provided by the Arlington County Fire Department:

 

"The State of Virginia has adopted the International Fire Code (Statewide Fire Prevention Code 2000 Edition) Fall 2003. Part of this new code does not allow the use of live natural cut trees (Christmas Trees) in non-sprinkled buildings. The exceptions of this code are Single-family homes, Duplex and Townhouses."

 

The Fire Department was contacted for clarification on the timing and applicability of the above and stated that there will be no enforcement this year ... only an education program will be undertaken. They also stated that next year's prohibition will apply only to residents of the B units; however, confirmation of this will be undertaken as we approach the 2004 holiday season. (Article Courtesy Fairlington Glen Newsletter - December 2003)

 

Updated History of Fairlington Published

 

In 1993, residents of Fairlington, working though the Fairlington Citizens Association (FCA), published Fairlington at 50, by Catherine Fellows. Ms. Fellows is an historian and lives in Fairlington. Five hundred copies were printed at that time. By 1998, there were no more copies available.

 

In 2002, the Historical Society accepted the challenge of republishing the history to coincide with Fairlington’s 60th Anniversary. Securing the assistance of volunteers, community and business donors, and a pro bono graphic designer, the project was completed in November of this year and the 60th Anniversary Edition copies was delivered on December 5.

 

Copies are available from the Society and order forms can be found online at www.fairlington.org.

 

Mews Resident Recognized by County

 

At the Fairlington 60th Anniversary Celebration reception on November 1, 2003, Paul Ferguson, Chairman, Arlington County Board, congratulated the Historical Society for their preservation efforts and presented a Certificate of Recognition from the County to Ron Patterson, President of the Society.

 

The Certificate was presented in recognition of Mr. Patterson’s  dedication and exemplary service to the residents of Fairlington and to the citizens of Arlington County for his work in preserving our historic treasures.”

Landscape Committee

 

With the onset of winter, grounds work is rapidly drawing to a close.  Major plantings were completed by Environmental Enhancements since the last newsletter. In addition, sod work was completed in Courts 1, 5, and 9 which was necessitated by the sewer relining project.  Hopefully, by the time this is published the shrubs damaged as a result of the sewer work will have been replaced. 

 

We have scheduled the final mowing and leaf removals with Community Landscape.  The leaf removal this year has not been what we expected; be assured that management has communicated regularly with the grounds contractor to see that they meet their contractual obligations.

 

All interested residents are encouraged to become active members of the Landscape Committee which will meet on the second Monday of each month.  Tentative meeting dates for the new year are Jan. 12, Feb. 9, and March 8 at 7:00PM at the South Fairlington Community Center. Call Lori Olivas (703) 379-4927 or Tom Corbin (703-931-0687) to confirm meeting dates. 

 

On Dec. 2, the Mews Board of Directors approved Environmental Enhancements Landscape, under the direction of Mr. C. Fred Peratt, as the grounds contractor for the 2004 calendar year. This company has done several plantings in the Mews over the past three years; residents have been pleased with their work.

 

There are some immediate projects which the committee would like to complete as funds allow.  These include “tweaking” and finishing the plantings in bare spots throughout the Mews; addressing the disease in the hedge along King St., enhancing the bed at the corner of S. 34th/ 36th Streets, and completing some seasonal plantings in the pool area.  A major project, still in the planning stages, is the assessment of the trees within the common areas.

 

There are two things residents can do at this time to help with the grounds:  (1) If the new plantings or sod shows stress because of lack of precipitation, please water when the temperature is above freezing and the soil is not frozen. (2) If you tended the beds near your unit this past summer, please be certain that you remove all spent annuals and perennials as the grounds contractor does not clean areas marked with reflectors.

 

Identified residences in Courts 1, 5 and 9 will receive their promised plantings in the Spring due to weather conditions which delayed these installations.

 

One final note:  special thanks to Ms. Brenda Camenzind, who has chaired the committee for the past year.  Brenda will remain an active member of the committee, but has personal obligations which prevent her from continuing as the committee chair. 

 

Lori Olivas and Tom Corbin have agreed to co-chair the committee at this time.  Please address your grounds concerns to them at the listed phone numbers.

Recreation Committee

 

Currently, while the pool is lying dormant and the tennis courts are quiet, the Recreation Committee of Fairlington Mews is taking a well-deserved break. We are, however, continuing to work on your behalf,  looking for a suitable picnic table for the common area adjacent to the pool, as well as investigating pool-side shade structure options. We also are planning a 'Welcome Back, Spring' get-together for a Sunday afternoon in late March. Watch this space for more details!


Happy and healthy holidays to all!

Board

   Minutes

          Highlights

 

Complete, detailed Mews Board Minutes can be found on the Fairlington Web Site at the Mews Home Page:

www.fairlington.org/mewsindex.htm

 

October 28, 2003

 

·         The board agreed to follow up with residents on work orders placed with management.

·         Management reported that the cost of the pool contract for next year increased by $1,700 due to insurance cost increases. This year’s final price was higher than expected due to the extra week and weekends after Labor Day. All present agreed that the quality of the World Pool staff was exceptionally good.

·         The board voted unanimously to move the basketball hoop to the outside of the curve of the driveway, just west of the trash can. Use of the basketball hoop is restricted to daylight hours.

·         The “Roles and Responsibilities” documents were discussed briefly. Rob Stewart asked that the review of the “newsletter committee” be held off so that it could become a “communications committee.” He again commented on the professional way the newsletter was done. There was discussion on whether court reps should have a formal role on the landscape committee. Full discussion of the “Roles and Responsibilities” documents was deferred until November.

·         Replacing carriage lamps in Courts 10 and 11 was discussed.

·         There was discussion about the quality of the work with Jeffrey Trash. There was general dissatisfaction that the “stinky trash” by the tennis courts was rarely picked up. Tipping fees have increased and Jeffrey Trash has asked to pass the increase through; the board approved the increase.

·         David Biette and Gretchen Martin volunteered to serve on a committee to review parking lot signs; they agreed to confer with Ron Patterson to see if there were any all-Fairlington standards.

·         The landscaping maintenance contract was reviewed; management was unhappy with the current vendor. Proposals from two other companies were submitted and references were being checked.

·         The role of children in the community was discussed, in particular children playing in common areas. Some children have been scolded for playing in some areas of the Mews. The proposed “Kids’ Council” might be a mechanism for younger Mews residents to police themselves and which could make recommendations to the board as a whole. The board agreed to pursue discussion on this issue.

 

December 2, 2003

 

·         Seth Low reported following up on work orders to the satisfaction of the individual residents.

·         Management discussed the Virginia ordinance on indoor Christmas trees and would check with counsel to see how and if the regulation applied to the Mews.

·         Seth Low (treasurer) reported that reserves have been going down; investment returns are lower and the interest rates on CDs have been going down. He agreed to make sure the budget stays on target.

·         Management discussed policies for repairs. Engelking does minor repairs; major repairs, done on a yearly cycle, are inspected and bid out.

·         Brenda Camenzind has stepped down as chair of the Landscape Committee; Lori Olivas and Tom Corbin have agreed to be co-chairs. There was extended discussion on the landscape contract. The concept of “taste” versus “craft” was discussed briefly on landscape issues for residents who take care of their own gardens.

·         The Recreation Committee is considering a late-winter social event.

·         The board commended the Newsletter Committee for its efforts to increase communication in the Mews.

·         A survey of the residents is in the works.

·         Court signs were discussed, especially the issues of readability, aesthetics, and cost. The committee said it would try to have a proposal for the January meeting.

·         The “roles and responsibilities” documents were discussed and a template was agreed upon. One of the major issues was to delineate what management should do and what residents and committee volunteers would do.

·         The community and children and the “Youth Council” were discussed so that there might be a mechanism where younger residents could be accountable for their behavior. Rob Stewart agreed to draft an outline for the council.

·         The board agreed to notify the community by mail of its intent to ratify a resolution on guidelines for satellite dishes and exterior antennae at the board meeting on January 27, 2004.

·         The board approved a new rat abatement contract to control vermin, especially along the King Street and I-395 access ramp.

·         The board reviewed carriage lamps and proposed a fixture that is similar to what exists already, and requested poles that would not rust.

·         Drainage issues in Court 11 were referred to the engineering company. It would be ideal if any work could be done in conjunction with replacing the carriage lamps.

·         There was extensive discussion on the landscape contract and it was agreed to accept the proposal from Environmental Enhancements.

 

Treasurer’s

        Report

 

 

What can you do as an owner or resident at Fairlington Mews to help implement the 2004 Annual Budget?  The short answer is to be active in the community.  You are the eyes and ears of the Board and we need your help.  For example, insurance is one of the budget line items that always seems to increase each year.  So, if you see a condition in the Mews that you think is a hazard, such as broken pavement that someone might trip on, report such conditions so that they may be taken care of as soon as possible. 

Similarly, water is the highest of all the Mews expenses, at a budgeted cost of $83,000.00.   Should you have any leaking faucets or running toilets, why not plan to get them repaired in 2004?  The water you save is not only the environmentally right thing to do, but makes good business sense as well.  Moreover, any savings in water expenses could then be reallocated to other Mews expenses.   So what do you say?  Please join the challenge and help us to make the Mews the best, most cost effective condo association of all the Fairlington associations.

 

Timely

          Tips

              By Sher Opal

                        Management Agent                                                 Representative

 

Christmas Trees:

 

During the month of January 2004, you may put your Christmas trees on curb and Jeffrey’s will pick up periodically. Do not put out trash when it is icy or snowy, as the trash truck cannot get through and trash will not be picked up.  Be considerate by keeping the community clean and tidy.  

 

Snow Removal:

 

Lots and sidewalks will be cleared and ice melt/sand used as required. While we can not anticipate the timing of storms and when the parking lots or walkways will be cleared, we try to clear these areas by mid-morning on weekdays and by mid-day or before it gets dark on weekends.  If anyone has special needs, please contact management.

Q & A.

 

Whom do you call about no electricity in your home?

 

  1. If you lose your electricity, call Dominion Electric to report the outage: 1-888-667-3000
  2. If you find that you have only partial electricity, this is called a brown out and an electrician needs to be called, once Dominion Electric has verified that they no problem on their end. 

 

The Association is not responsible for the electricity to or in your home so there is no need to contact management.

 

Dominion Electric also has a Maintenance Program that costs $3.50 a month in case any of your electrical lines fail, inside or outside your unit.  Be aware, they do not cover the restoration of the common area, which is the responsibility of the owner to repair. Other owners in Fairlington have incurred thousands of dollars of expense to repair their electrical lines, because they were not aware of this program. Call 1-866-645-9811 to learn more.

 

Holiday

 Safety

 

 

Before selecting a tree, perform the Freshness Test by gently grabbing a branch about six inches from the trunk and pulling outward.  When your hand reaches the end of the branch, open it and check for needles.  A fresh tree will have only a few needles or none at all.  Put your fresh tree immediately in water.

 

Shake your tree to remove as many dead needles as possible before taking it inside.  Pick the tree up and drop it on the tree stump a few times. 

 

Saw at least an inch off of the trunk bottom before mounting the tree in a stand that holds water.  Always keep the water level above the cut, or the cut will seal over and the tree will not “drink” water.  When setting your tree up, it is best to put hot water in the container to ensure the tree initially taking up water.  Check the water level daily.

 

Place your tree away from heating vents, heat-producing appliances, and do not block inside traffic routes with your tree.  Use tree lights which have Underwriters’ Laboratory (U.L.) label.  Exercise care with extension cords.  Do not place cords under rugs or in paths of travel.

 

Check your smoke detectors.  If battery powered, the batteries should be changed twice each year. (A good way to remember this is to change them when you adjust your clocks in fall and spring.)

 

When using candles in your holiday décor, make sure they are at least a few feet from any objects that can burn, such as drapes or curtains.  Candles should only be burned when someone is present.  Never leave them burning if you leave home or go to sleep.  Remind your children that candles can be dangerous.

 

Be mindful of your pets at this time.  Certain plant materials, decorations, and foods are deadly for pets if digested.  Many holiday health and safety tips may be obtained from the website, http://www.Kate.net/holidays/

 

Always dispose of your wrapping paper, boxes, tree, and decorations according to the trash rules established by the condominium association.

 

Reminders - Revisited

          Satellite Dishes; Trash        Collection!

 

Satellite Dishes

 

Remember that Mews Rules and Regulations require a variance before a resident installs a satellite dish in his/ her patio area.  Dishes must not be higher than the fence and should not be visible from outside the patio.  Failure to follow these rules may result in assessed penalties by the Board of Directors.

 

Trash Collection Reminders

 

Most Fairlingtonians appreciate the beauty and order of the community scene, but some Mews residents infringe upon the community’s beauty by continuing to abuse and violate trash collection rules as established in the Mews Condominium Handbook (Section 5, Part G).

 

It is a rare occurrence not to find bags of trash, garden debris, or other inappropriate items left after daily trash pick up or on Sundays.  Residents are reminded that the Board of Directors has and will continue to levy penalties on residents who abuse the trash policy.

 

Residents can help insure litter-free commons areas by taking the time to pick up stray bottles, paper, fast-food wrappers, etc.

 

If you miss the scheduled pick up or accumulate trash during the day, please keep it inside or on your patio until the next day’s pick up.  No one wants to see the street curbs and sidewalks littered with unsightly trash. 

December

          Gardening

                   Advice

 

 

 

While we sit cozy and warm, there is still activity going on in our gardens.  The following are reminders about winter “chores”.

 

With the onset of freezing and thawing soil, newly planted items tend to “heave” out of the ground.  Check periodically and gently push plants back into the soil.  Mulch applied now will help eliminate this problem.  Also it is helpful to stay off wet or frozen turf as walking compacts the soil and damages roots.

 

If you have not already done so, remove spent annuals and perennials to give the border a neat appearance for the winter season. Don’t let leaves pile up in your border. Use the branches of your discarded Christmas tree to protect pansies and other winter-hardy items.  Gently surround these plants with discarded holiday boughs for protection and color in the winter landscape.  Evergreen branches protect plants from drying winds and from compacting under snow cover. Remove when new growth appears.  Don’t worry when you see emerging spring bulb foliage as these plants can withstand the cold.

Broadleaf evergreens tend to burn and dry out with winter winds.  Eliminate this problem by spraying (follow product directions) with Wilt Proof.

 

When the temperature is above freezing and there has been little rain, newly installed sod, shrubs, and trees in the common areas need a good soaking in order to survive.  Landscape items installed near your residence are paid with your condominium fees.  Help protect your investment!

 

Indoor plants need less water now that the days are short.  Check plants for moisture, but do not over water as this creates rot and disease.  Gradually increase water as the daylight lengthens.  House plants also do not need fertilizer at this time. Now is a good time to order and check out plant catalogue and websites and to begin dreaming about spring planting!

 

When a Neighbor is a Neighbor

 

When you travel during the winter season, always take precautions to ensure the safety of your residence.  Give a neighbor a key, and ask him/ her to check your heating, bathrooms, and pipes to prevent any potential problems.  Remember to discontinue your newspaper or ask a neighbor to pick it up for you.  Items left at your door are clear indications to thieves that you are not at home. If you expect a FedEx or UPS delivery, alert a neighbor to the delivery.  Or leave a note for the delivery man to drop the package at a neighbor (indicate address).

 

Ask a neighbor to check your house on a regular basis and to leave a light (ideally a different one each day) on in your absence.  You may also want to consider putting some lamps on a timer.  Closed drapes, blinds, and shutters for an abnormal length of time shout that you’re not at home!

 

Consider giving a neighbor a key to any vehicles which might have to be moved (or at least tell him/ her where they are located within your residence) in the event of an emergency – snow removal, storm damage, emergency road/ lot/ water/ sewer repair, etc. Leave instructions as to where and how you can be reached if there is an emergency.

 

We all remember last winter’s snows!  Be courteous of your neighbor’s parking space when you clean out yours.  Put the removed snow on the turf, not on the sidewalk or in the parking lot.  Yes, the snow plows pile up snow behind our vehicles, and some spaces get filled with snow by the plows. This is one problem which no one can solve.  The solution:  remove the snow and be “thankful”, it could be worse!  Be considerate and do not park in someone else’s space after it has been cleaned!

 

Check on those residents in your court who are elderly or ill.  Volunteer to pick up groceries/ medicines if needed or to shovel the patio or walkway if it has not been cleared.  Consider running any errands required when a neighbor can’t get outside. Help neighbors shovel their cars – this is a good way to meet and interact with your neighbors!

 

Featured Mews Resident

          Don Taylor

 

(Don Taylor, who lives at the Fairlington entrance on S. Wakefield St., is known to any residents for his annual display of flowers and for his community service to the Mews.  Don is proud to admit that he has attended “every annual meeting” in his residency in the Mews association.)

 

Next summer marks my twentieth-fifth year as a co-owner in Fairlington Mews!  This longevity enables me to comment on several changes I have observed during the Post-conversion period. These include demographic changes, improving physical appearance, and a lower ratio of condo fee to unit value.

 

In the late "seventies" resident ownership was very high with "young marrieds" and singles of all ages in the majority. (There were not many of us “empty-nesters" around then!) Turnover in the "eighties" reduced the percentage of young families while the personal safety aspect of Fairlington was reflected in the increase of the "single women" and "older couple" residents. This trend continues.

 

As a rule, condominiums do not have significant reserve funds when they first begin association operations. Tight expense control is necessary to improve the financial situation. Gradually our elected Boards have approved more funds for enhancing overall appearance: tree plantings, removal of 50 years of caked paint on many porches, a more frequent painting cycle (from 5 years to 4 in 1994 and now it is every 3 years), patio fence replacement in 1993, a new long range plan for slate roof replacement (1994), apartment hallway renovation (2003) and removal of overgrown shrubs on several occasions.

 

The Mews appearance, indeed all of Fairlington's appearance, continues to improve steadily.

 

The value of an Inside Clarendon unit in January 1980 was $78,000 and our condo fee was $78 per month, a ratio of 1 to 1000. Over the next ten years the Inside Clarendon units’ values escalated rapidly to $156,000 while fees crept up to $137; but then property values hovered in the same range, and by 1995 were $162,000 while fees caught-up at $162 monthly. Since then this correlation has changed dramatically, particularly in the last 3 years. Our fees have
increased to a monthly $193 for the inside unit, but that unit's value now exceeds $300,000.These changes are the kind we can appreciate and enjoy!
