Admiral’s View Homeowners,
The HOA Board of Directors again thanks all of you who took the time to attend our annual HOA membership meeting on April 20, 2023, as well as those of you who could not attend, but submitted your proxies/ballots. Unfortunately, the proposed amendment which would prohibit short-term rentals did not pass because it did not receive the necessary 39 votes in favor (60% of the 64 homes in our community). Twenty (20) votes in favor and two (2) votes against were cast, which means 42 homeowners did not cast a vote at all.
The amendment was tabled, and a special meeting of the HOA membership will be scheduled within the next few months in an effort to obtain the remaining votes needed for passage.
For those 22 of you who already voted, you will not need to vote again, as your proxies/ballots are effective for 11 months from the date of your signature.
Please be advised, under Maryland law, only the votes of owners “in good standing” are valid. In good standing is defined as not more than 90 days in arrears in any payment due to the Admiral’s View HOA, which includes monthly assessment fees as well as any late fees. Formal notice of the special meeting on the amendment, as well as proxies/ballots, will be sent to homeowners in the near future.
Best regards,
The Board of Directors
