LV2HOA.com Architectural Review Committee Report Mark Grimley, chair of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), gave his report on the 185 applications that were processed in the year. Each application received unanimous approval. The ARC, he said, also converted to a 100% paperless system. Mark also reminded those in attendance that, while ARC applications for improvements must be signed by the homeowners of neighboring properties, these signatures only reflect that the homeowners have been notified of the proposed changes. Neighbors are not able to grant or deny approval of applications; only the ARC has this power. Therefore, refusing to sign a neighbor’s application will only delay the process and the ARC’s ability to process more applications. It will not affect the ARC’s decision regarding the application. Sheriff’s Office Report Officer Jennifer Smith of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office shared which issues should be reported to the HOA, which should be reported via the non-emergency line, and which can be handled by the residents themselves. Our community’s assigned officers, Gregory Thomas and Michael Rivera, were unable to attend due to other obligations. You can contact these officers at [email protected] and michael.rivera@ loudoun.gov, should you have any questions. Parking Issues Continue Residents from the Ridges condominium development reported on parking violations that are hindering their ability to easily care for their nearby grandmother. Together, the board members, residents in attendance, and Design Standards/Covenants Advisor Dan Avendano developed a solution that will see a months-old problem solved very quickly. Furthermore, the Board decided that they would develop stricter regulations to govern parking in areas that face persistent issues. LVII Living | Winter 2020 13

Virginia established vast spy networks throughout France, called weapons and explosives down from the skies, and became a linchpin for the Resistance. Even as her face covered wanted posters and a bounty was placed on her head, Virginia refused order after order to evacuate.
