Glen East Members may build fences around their rear patios according to the
following specifications: 1.
An Alteration Permit is required to construct a fence.
Permits are to be filled out in the office and approved before work is
begun. (See “Improvements”, page
#11.) 2.
Fences are to be made out of cedar boards, using 1 x 6 boards that are 6
feet high. 3.
Fence dimensions for two bedroom townhouses are to be 18 feet from the
unit by 16 feet wide. Fence
dimensions for three bedroom townhouses are to be 18 feet from the unit by 20
feet wide. 4.
A 4 ft. wide gate is to be built at the rear of the fenced area. 5.

boxes etc. If the electric meter
and/or cable box is inside your fence, your gate CANNOT have a lock on it.
Utilities have to be able to have access. 7.
Member who puts up fence pays for all costs.

fifty dollar ($150.00) charge per attachment.
Payment is made through the office to Coop member(s) owning existing
fence(s). 8.

Back to TopFLOOR POLICY
The
present Prairie Glen East Member is responsible for the condition of the floors.
Upon move-out, regardless of floor condition, each member is charged a
standard twenty-five dollar ($25.00) reconditioning charge.
The
twenty-five dollar floor fee is deducted from your membership and equity refund.
When
damage to the hardwood floors is excessive, the floor charge will reflect a
charge based on the hourly maintenance rate and materials to repair. In
some instances, such as pet stains, (which are impossible to remove) and deep
scratches in the floor that are beyond sanding and refinishing, it may be
necessary to carpet the hardwood floor. The
member selling will be charged for the carpet to make the townhouse meet
cooperative standards. You
will be advised as to an estimated cost for the carpet and installation.
If
you desire, prior to signing your move-out inspection, you may exercise the
option of purchasing yourself or subcontracting your own carpeting and
installation. It
would be a definite advantage to have a preliminary inspection done as soon as
you know you are moving. If
carpeting is necessary, it can be handled as an improvement.
The new carpet and installation must meet cooperative standards and be
approved. All
carpeting must be shampooed prior to move-out inspection.
Carpet that is deteriorated through neglect or age is a deterrent at the
time of sale of your townhouse. If
the carpet must be removed, the hardwood floors must be brought to acceptable
condition or re-carpeted at seller’s expense. When
a new member (buyer) accepts existing carpet as an improvement, he/she is
responsible for floor underneath. Due
to tacking down of carpet, maintenance cannot check the condition of the floor.
If
the carpet is cooperative property, the member is liable for the carpet, not the
floor underneath. Revised
