Community Bio-2008

Roxborough is a unique zoning of residential land use known as a “Planned Unit Development”, PUD. The PUD allows front, side and back yard setbacks, and the lot size to be smaller, putting more homes per acre than traditional subdivisions. Smaller yards require less maintenance, watering and lower taxes. To offset the smaller yards, there is a two & a half acre private park with large open grass areas, picnic tables & pavilions, park benches, trees, landscaping and two tennis courts. The private park allows the Roxborough Homeowners, and their invited guests, a broad range of recreational activities. There is also a limited RV storage parking area subject to space available and use conditions.

Roxborough was created on January 29, 1979 as a non profit corporation to allow the community a charter to collect dues, control and maintain the private park area, review and approve architectural styles or changes, and enforce the CC&R’s and By-Laws. Dues are assessed annually and levied equally on each lot, regardless of the improvements or how many persons live there. Dues are an ongoing lien against the property. Although the dues are assessed annually and due on January 1st of each year, the Board allows quarterly payments from the lot owners who are not selling. For those selling, the full year is due at time of ownership transfer. Currently, 2008 annual dues are $184.56. There is an ownership transfer fee of $85.00 due at the time of ownership transfer for a new account setup, charged to the new owner.

A nine member Board of Directors are elected from eligible property owner candidates at the Annual Homeowners Association Meeting. The new Board of Directors elect their President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The Board of Directors, and it’s Officers, are volunteers and direct the affairs of the Association. Roxborough is self managed, but does contract with Better Bookkeeping by Computer, LLC to receive, track and account for the Association’s funds.
