Wishing all our Old Stagecoach families and friends a very Happy and Healthy New Year!  Dear Homeowners ... Someone has removed the "emergency" gate key from the lock box attached to the gate. We don't know if it was a homeowner or a contractor or vendor doing work at OSC ... we just know it's missing.
If you accidently put the key in your pocket, please return it. In the meantime, a new key has been put in the lock box. Please note that this key is for emergency use only. If you need a key to the gate or find that your key doesn't work, keys are available by emailing the Board at [email protected], reaching out to Winter Security (Otto - Lot 1300), or contacting Property Management Consultants at 609-390-0300. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. To All Our Old Stagecoach Families and Friends ... May this holiday season fill your home with joy, your heart with love, and your life with laughter. Warmest thoughts and best wishes for the holidays and the coming year.  Dear Homeowners ... Attached are the minutes from our 2022 Annual Association Meeting in August. It took a little time to get the minutes compiled ... as no one took notes during the actual meeting. (Oops!) We thought the meeting was being recorded via the Zoom call ... but found out a few days later that the recording failed. So everyone who spoke had to go back to their notes ... and try to remember exactly what they said during the meeting! We believe we finally got it all! For those of you that attended, we hope this is a good summary of what you heard. For those of you that were unable to attend in person or via Zoom, we hope these minutes give you a good understanding of what the Board presented that day. A PDF copy is attached for your review. If you are unable to open a PDF document, the individual pages have also been posted in "picture" format. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Board via our email address -- [email protected] 
Dear Homeowners ... Attached is the 2021 Financial Audit for our Association completed by Global One Financial Services. Sorry for the delayed posting, but we had some questions about the expense categories and needed to reach back to our accountant. But, rest assured, all is good and the audit stands. A PDF copy is attached for your review. If you are unable to open PDF documents, the individual pages are also attached in "picture" format.) As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Board via our email address -- [email protected]
Dear Homeowners ... As you know, Middle Township has restricted the type of additions we can add to our mobile homes. Board members have worked with the Association's lawyer, reached out to Middle Township officials, and attended meetings this season. Unfortunately, the ordinance shown below was passed at the October 5, 2022 Township Committee Meeting as we reported previously.
At a subsequent meeting on November 1 with construction and zoning officials, we were not able to convince Township officials that "stick built" (aka wooden) additions are removable. However, we were able to clarify two things: (1) Existing structures are grandfathered. The Township has no plans to ask our homeowners to remove existing builds that do not adhere to current standards. And, (2) If your existing "stick-built" structure is damaged during a storm or other accident, you can replace it with the same materials as long as the original build was done with a permit! If there is no permit on file with the Township, you can only rebuild adhering to the new regulations. We will continue to work with Township officials and our lawyer to see if we can sway them in our direction and allow "stick-built" additions to our mobile homes. In the meantime, we know there were several homeowners interested in adding decks. You can now add those decks as long as you adhere to the size and modular requirements set forth in the ordinance. PLEASE NOTE: As in the past, all decks and additions must be pre-approved by the OSC Board prior to going to the Township for your zoning and construction permits. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding while we continue to work with Middle Township on your behalf. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to the Board via their email -- [email protected] ------------ The updated regulation is listed below.
