MESSAGE FROM OUR TREASURER OCTOBER 17, 2017

Fellow Stone Ridge Residents and Association Members,

As we come to the end of our 14th year here in Stone Ridge it is time to review the budget and assessments. In preparation for fiscal year (FY) 2018 (Jan 1 – Dec 31) and in accordance with Article V, Section 5.4 and 5.7 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, your Association Board of Directors has approved the budget and set the assessments for next year. These assessments will be used to pay for the budgeted expenses of the Association and continue to be payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments due on the 1st of each month beginning January 1, 2018.

The 2017 and the approved 2018 monthly assessments are as follows:

CURRENT (2017) 2018 (JAN 1)

Single Family $95.32 $94.58

Savannah Single Family $150.56 $149.97

Cedarwood Single Family $143.32 $142.58

Townhouse $98.80 $94.15

Condominium $77.00 $76.00

As seen in the chart above, the monthly assessments are reduced for everyone, the Condominiums and Single-Family and Townhomes. Please check your coupons and update your automatic assessment payments correctly.

The community continues to grow with 166 new houses and condos projected for construction in 2018. Capital projects scheduled for 2018 include improvements to the Event Lawn and Amphitheatre lighting and awning, an electronic message board at the corner of Stone Springs Blvd. and Millstream Drive, and Greenstone bathhouse improvements. Over the last 11 years the Board has made plans for these renovations and improvements by placing Capital Contributions from home resales as well as some surplus monies into our Capital Improvement Reserve Fund while continuing to fully fund the General Replacement Reserve. Money from these two funds cover costs of these projects next year. This continues to be an exciting time as Stone Ridge continues to improve existing amenities.

Reserve costs in the 2018 budget include stone repairs to the entrance fountain and stone retaining walls, replacement of some pool equipment, Greenstone Basketball court color coat, and replacement of wooden swings at Nettle Mill Clubhouse and the 43 Park. Also planned is the review of all tot lots for replacement in next couple years.

Every year we mention one of the most important fiduciary responsibilities of the Association is maintaining the Replacement Reserves. A full reserve analysis for FY 2015 was completed in 2014 to ensure all our capital assets were captured with the addition of the new Stone Carver office/pool and storm water management ponds. As of today, we are meeting all the recommended reserve requirements in the General Reserves and exceeding the requirements in the Townhomes and Savannah Reserves. Another full reserve study is planned next year for FY 2019 to capture the Nettle Mill Clubhouse renovation and Greenstone bathhouse improvements and new sections of houses.

We also completed several needed maintenance projects in 2017. Those projects included the Nettle Mill Clubhouse renovation, white coat and tile replacement at Nettle Mill Pool, the replacement of pond #3’s aerator fountain, well #2 pump which is part of the irrigation system, and seal coating of Association parking lots and scheduled townhouse sections.

Single Family and Townhome owners, you will receive your 2018 payment coupons in the mail from the financial services contractor SFMC, Inc. Please take a moment to review them for accuracy. Also, make sure you mail your payments so that they arrive on time and you avoid unnecessary late charges. Owners are encouraged to take advantage of the Direct Debit program offered by SFMC for automatic payment of your assessments. Please note: If you are current on the Direct Debit program offered by SFMC, your monthly payment is automatically adjusted. Direct Debit participants will not receive a coupon book for next year. If you have any questions about your account, payment status, or wish to set up Direct Debit, please call SFMC at 703-392-6006 extension 218 and speak directly with Shelby Collamer, our AP/AR Representative.

Condominium owners, if you have questions regarding your condominium budget or assessment payments please contact your Condominium Manager.

7 DECEMBER 2017

2018 STONE RIDGE BUDGET The Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Stone Ridge Operating Budget and assessment schedule at the October 2017 Board Meeting. Development of the annual budget began in June of this year and included meeting with committee representatives, analysis of all the various income and expense elements and review of the reserve study components.

Everyone’s assessments have been reduced for 2018. Here are a few of the reasons on why Stone Ridge could reduce everyone’s rates: (1) As new homes are sold in the community the cost of running the Association is spread out further per unit. (2) In 2016 Stone Ridge converted all the streetlights to LED’s. Cost savings in 2017 show reduced utility cost by $18,000 and maintenance cost by $15,000; these savings are reflected in the 2018 budget. (3) Stone Ridge also has several multi-year contracts with no or nominal increases next year. (4) This one is for Townhouses only, reimbursed homeowners for the unused winter related services that were budgeted for November 2016 through March 2017.

2018 INCOME

General Assessments: $2,118,500

Townhouse Assessments: $320,451

Detached Home Assessments $234,601

Savannah Singles Assessments $120,973

Condominium Assessments $759,696

Cedarwood Singles Assessments $31,104

Other Income $356,943

Total Income $3,942,268

2018 EXPENSES

Administration $1,213,166

Operations $1,181,058

Recreational Facilities $601,852

Reserve Accounts $185,547

Townhouse & Detaches Homes $760,645

Total Expenses $3,942,268

Any owner who would like a detailed copy of the 2018 approved budget may find it on the Association website, www.SRNet.cc or by contacting the Association Office by phone: 703-327-5179 or email: stoneridge-hoa@stoneridgeinc.org.

HOLIDAY SAFETY As we enter the holiday season, I wanted to reach out to everyone in the community to highlight information about possible criminal activity and what we can do to limit crimes of opportunity. Loudoun County has the lowest crime rate in the DC Metropolitan area, but that does not immune us from those seeking to make an easy profit. As the holiday season approaches, and packages are sent to your homes, the Sheriff’s Office is asking for your assistance. There is an increase of package larcenies from door steps. By planning ahead, we can limit thefts from occurring. Listed below are alternative delivery methods:

■ Request that your package be delivered to the Post Offce

■ Utilize package delivery points (example: Amazon Locker)

■ Track your package and have someone home the day of delivery or

■ Request a friend to collect your package if you will not be at home

The Sheriff’s Office has joined a national campaign #9PMROUTINE. The focus is to include the securing of your vehicles and house, just as you would brush your teeth before bed. A major trend in the region is larcenies from vehicles, which can include people gaining access to your home by using your garage door opener. It is imperative to remove all valuables from your vehicle, lock it, maybe remove your garage door opener and lock your house up to include the door leading to the garage. If you happen to notice that someone gained entry to your vehicle and do not believe that anything of value was stolen, we still want you to report the incident to us. Usually, if one car was broken into, there will be several others in the area as well.

Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office provides many outlets to report a crime, suspicious incident and or leads to help us better serve you. You can report issues by going online to sheriff.loudoun.gov. There you will find an online feature to make your report. You can also call the non-emergency line 24/7at (703) 777-1021.

Thank you and I hope all of you have a great holiday season.

5 CHRISTMAS MORNING DANGERS TO AVOID SUBMITTED BY STONESPRINGS HOSPITAL CENTER

The kids are up at 5 a.m. and guess what? Santa’s been there! Though you’ve barely got your eyes open, you’ll need to watch for the day’s 5 hidden hazards:

■ PLASTIC FILM – The packaging surrounding toys and household goods can be sharp on the edges and often diffcult to pry open. Avoid cuts by using scissors or cutters made especially for plastic – or better yet, remove gifts from the plastic before wrapping.

■ BUTTON BATTERIES – Making our list year-after-year are the small button batteries that power toys, decorations and electronics. In the mouth or once swallowed these batteries cause chemical burns. For young children, install batteries prior to gift giving and make sure battery covers are screwed on securely. Store extra batteries well out of reach. And never hold a battery between your lips while working on installation.

■ HOT DRINKS – Your coffee or the kids’ morning cocoa can burn in seconds – just as quick as fre. A sip or spill during the excitement of Santa requires a trip to the ER if the area blisters immediately or skin peels off. Avoid the risk by using water that has boiled then cooled, and serve beverages at the table.

■ SMALL STUFF Christmas morning traditions put small objects – all choking risks – into little hands. Look out for popcorn, nuts, candy, small parts from toys, decorative berries, and tree ornaments. Ribbon and cellophane too. Know the steps to sweep a child’s mouth of foreign objects and the steps to take for choking.

■ FLASH FIRES – Leaving the tree lights on all day and night is an obvious hazard. Check light strands and plugs daily during the season, water real trees, and keep candles and heaters away. A second fre risk is burning wrapping paper which can immediately ignite causing fash burns or smolder in sheets, drifting out of the freplace. Combat this one by tossing wrapping out in the trash instead.

Finally, while Christmas at home may be perfectly safe, be cautious when visiting others or staying at Grandma’s house where things may not be child proof and unfamiliar kitchens and baths pose risks for burns or cuts – even for adults.

Here’s hoping your holidays are merry and bright – but knowing that the ER at StoneSprings Hospital is just around the corner and always open – even on Christmas.

SANTA VISITS STONE RIDGE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2ND, 2017 Fire engine lights and sirens will announce Santa’s arrival in Stone Ridge! For everyone's safety, do not approach or chase the ÿre engine when it’s moving. Please, be watchful of children at all times.

VET CENTER COMMUNITY ACCESS CENTER COMING TO LOUDOUN

Congresswoman Barbara Comstock and Loudoun County Supervisor Tony Buffngton announced that a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs “Vet Center Community Access Center” will be opening in early 2018 in Loudoun

County. The facility will be in Leesburg and will serve Veterans as well as active duty military personnel and their families.

“The Leesburg Access Center will provide certifed counseling services for our Veterans, active duty military, and their families with mental health needs, and I am excited to see this much-needed facility come to Loudoun County,” Congresswoman Barbara Comstock said in the press release. “Currently, a Veteran would have to travel to either the VA Hospital in Martinsburg, West Virginia or a Vet Center in Alexandria to receive the same type of care that you will be able to fnd at the Leesburg Vet Center Access Center. This new facility will serve Veterans, active military, and their families in Loudoun County, Clarke County, and Western Fairfax County.

“The Vet Center staff strives to provide the best possible readjustment counseling services to our Veterans and Service member clients. It is an honor

and privilege to be able to do this for the Veteran community in Loudoun County.” Dr. Heather West, Vet Center Director.

This partnership with Loudoun County will allow veterans along with current military service members and their families, to have local access to Vet Center services without the inconvenience of traveling great distances or being burdened by excessive paperwork. Specifcally, the Vet Center offers a certifed counselor that helps veterans and their families with any and all mental health needs. This includes PTSD, marriage / family counseling, Military Sexual Trauma, Substance Abuse, Anxiety, and Depression. In addition, these counselors are skilled in assisting with socioeconomic issues that face the veteran community and can help in a multitude of areas to include navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Vet Center is a Federal Government program connected to the Department of Veterans Affairs; however, it is its own entity and does not report to VA Medical Centers. The Vet Center and its Access Centers are located within the communities. Its mission focuses on veteran needs, being integrated with the community, and being a frst-rate counseling service tailored to veterans issues.
