Owner Information Forms

The Association has a legal obligation under state law to gather and periodically update owner and resident information in a master database. This information is never shared with any third party, and is used only for internal administrative use and communication, especially important in the event of an emergency.

There are two ways to complete the form:

1. We will mail paper copies to all units. Fill them out; mail them USPS in the enclosed, stamped envelope.
2. Download the editable pdf. Type the correct responses into each cell. Then save and email the saved pdf to APM as an email attachment. See instructions below.

We have attempted to politely remind residents that our Guest Parking areas are for Guests only, on this website and in newsletters.

Unit owner vehicles are to be kept in the respective unit driveway or inside the unit garage.

When residents use guest parking spots, they are unavailable to guests.

Please show your neighbors some courtesy.

We have installed signs throughout the neighborhood as a reminder, and fines of $25 per day will be levied on offenders.

Report violating vehicles and license numbers to the management company.

The 2016 Reserve Study Update from Reserve Associates is available for download - Reserve Study 2016.pdf (6.6mb).

Download links for additional reference materials—including the previous 2011 Reserve Study—were posted in a news article on this site on May 19, 2016.

Please review these documents and use the information they contain to cast an informed vote on fully funding of the reserves. Ballots will be sent to all unit owners later this year.

Our governing documents prohibit garage, estate, and tag sales. There are several reasons for this, and they are significant.

We recently sought the counsel of our attorneys in this matter, and their opposition to any such sales is longstanding, detailed, and unequivocal. Their experience with such sales is filled with cautionary tales about how easily problems arise.

Reasons NOT to have publicly announced sales:

• It is against the rules, plain and simple.
• Our unit owners expect quiet and privacy; part of the rationale behind the prohibition of public sales is to ensure that peace and quiet are not disrupted by a sale.
• There is no way to anticipate the number of attendees, from 6 to 60—or more; a large turnout will quickly fill our limited guest parking, and attendees vehicles may block streets or damage turf when they are parked on our grassy areas. Parking can quickly become a safety issue, since emergency vehicles could easily be blocked in the event of fire, or sickness requiring EMS access.
• Publicly advertised sales may attract undesirable attendees who may place our persons and property at risk to theft or injury the day of the sale, or in the future, should they return unannounced after casing the area.
• Injuries (real or feigned) sustained by attendees may lead to lawsuits. This would place a burden on our legal budget and insurance premiums. Even the addition of special-event personal insurance or bonding secured by the unit owner or agent will not guarantee that a suit will not be filed naming the association or its residents.
• Board members place themselves at risk of personal liability if they choose to circumvent or override the rule in this matter, leaving them open to personal law suits.

The Board has a duty to protect the community as a whole, and appreciates your individual understanding and cooperation in this matter.

It has come to the Board's attention that door-to-door sales reps have made dubious claims to SVCA residents, suggesting that their company has a working relationship with the Association, or that they have special approval from your Board of Directors, endorsing their products. These assertions are factually unsupportable.

The Board of Directors of the Silver Valley Condo Association does not endorse home improvement vendors.

We strongly suggest that before signing any contract or letter of intent with any home improvement company, all residents should:

• research the contractor and the product through an online search or a Better Business Bureau report. (Any contractor worth his salt will share references.)
• demand a detailed proposal from any contractor that describes the exact scope of work, including a detailed product description and warranty.
• resist the urge to accept the first price offered.
• when appropriate, complete and file the Request for Change form on our web site to the Board for approval.

Hey. Let's be careful out there.

• Residents must use the garage as their primary parking space, with the corresponding unit driveway used for allowed vehicles that do not fit inside the garage.
• If the number of vehicles exceeds the combined garage and driveway parking space at any given unit, off-site parking must be used.
• Overflow (guest) parking areas are meant for use by guests or service vehicles. Unit owners who need to use the guest area for an emergency or for occasions where unit repairs block access to normal parking space (see item1) are asked to contact the management company and inform them of the special circumstances and anticipated duration of guest parking use.
• The guest areas are NOT to be used by residents for their personal vehicles on a regular basis.
• Residents may not use any parking area to store vehicles, or to park disabled vehicles or those with expired license tags.
• Parking on any grassed or lawn area is prohibited
• Parking on the street is prohibited since it may block access by emergency, fire, and police vehicles.
• Violators are subject to fines up to $25 per day; the Board reserves the right to tow violating vehicles at owner expense.

Parking signs at the main entrances to the Association property list the name and contact information for the towing company, in accordance with Ohio Law.
