Valhalla Ownership Summary

Understanding how the plat of Valhalla Village, the covenants for the plat, the Valhalla Townhouse Association together with its bylaws and rules operate, is important in understanding your rights and obligations as an owner of a Townhouse in Valhalla Village.

The Property

The Plat of Valhalla Village consists of 28 privately owned lots, each with a townhouse constructed thereon, and certain common property and utilities. (A copy of the plat can be obtained from the association secretary.)

Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions

The Inland Steel Development Corporation, the owner of the land that would comprise the Plat of Valhalla Village, subjected that land to certain covenants (promises), conditions and restrictions. These Covenants were signed by David Carley, President and James Carley, Assistant Secretary of the Inland Steel Development Corporation on July 9, 1971 and recorded in Bayfield County on December 16, 1971. (A copy of the “Covenants” can be obtained from the secretary of the association.) By accepting a deed for a lot, the owner of that lot agrees to be bound by these covenants, conditions and restrictions.

Notable in the covenants is the acceptance of the authority of the Valhalla Townhouse Association Ltd. to enforce the Covenants, conditions and restrictions including the obligation of each owner of the 28 lots to pay their annual assessment levied by the Association to “administer the common properties and facilities…..and preserve the values and amenities in said area….” A significant “restriction” is the prohibition on any modification or alteration to a townhouse without approval of the Association.

The Valhalla Townhouse Association LTD

The Valhalla Townhouse Association LTD is a non-stock, non-profit Wisconsin Corporation under chapter 181 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The Articles of Incorporation were signed on June 29, 1971, filed with the Secretary of State on June 30, 1971, and recorded in Bayfield County on July 2, 1971. The purpose of the Association is to “function as an association of the owners of lots in Valhalla Village” and to have powers including: enforcement of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions pertaining to the Village; paying taxes on the common property; purchasing insurance; provide gardening, landscaping and outdoor lighting for the common properties; provide for trash pickup and snow removal in the Village; provide for building maintenance; provide water and sewerage facilities; to adopt rules and regulations pertaining to the use of the facilities of the Association and said common properties……etc. (A copy of the Articles of Incorporation can be obtained from the association secretary.)

Valhalla Ownership Summary (continued)

By-Laws of the VTA

The by-laws describe how the VTA operates. Each of the 28 lot owners in Valhalla Village is an equal member in the VTA. The general direction of the Valhalla Townhouse Association is set by the members at the annual meeting via the annual budget, and any changes in rules, policies and procedures. The day to day business of the association is managed by the Board of Directors elected at the annual meeting. (A copy of the original by-laws can be obtained from the association secretary.)

Annual Meeting of the Members

The annual meeting of the members is held within 30 days of the last weekend in October. Since the general direction for the Valhalla Townhouse Association is set at the annual meeting of the members, it is important for members to attend. The budget for the coming year, and the resulting monthly dues are set at the annual meeting. Directors are elected at the annual meeting. It is likely that any proposed changes in rules will be presented at the annual meeting since members must approve any changes in the rules. A quorum for the annual meeting consists of those members present either in person or by proxy.

Budget of the Association

Prior to the annual meeting of the members, the President of the Association presents the proposed budget for the coming year to the Board of Directors. The proposed budget, as amended by the Board of Directors is presented to the membership at the annual meeting. This budget, as amended by action of the members at the annual meeting becomes the budget for the coming year. The members, therefore, have the final say in the annual budget. (The current annual budget is in the appendix.)

Board of Directors and Officers

Directors are elected at the annual meeting of the members. The officers of the Association are elected by the Directors, from among the Directors, at their first meeting which is held immediately after the annual meeting of the members. The principle officers of the Association are the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The board may appoint assistants to any officer.

The day to day business of the Association is managed by the Board of Directors within the limits set in the by-laws and applicable state laws. The board manages the affairs of the Association in accordance with the annual budget approved by the membersThe Board has the authority to impose additional annual assessments, but only if the amounts projected in the annual budget are insufficient for the purpose specified and these additional assessments can only be for the items contained in the annual budget.The Board has the authority to act in emergencies. For a more detailed description of Board functions, procedures and position descriptions see Section A.

Enhancement Procedures

Procedures for Enhancements to Townhouse Exteriors(Established October 24, 2009)

In the interest of maintaining the design integrity of the Valhalla Townhouses, the following procedures must be followed by any owner wishing to make exterior enhancements to the decks, doors, windows or landscaping of his/her townhouse.

1. The owner requesting the enhancement (the requestor) sends a letter (preferably email) to the board president requesting the modifications. The letter should include a description of the modification, a diagram (if needed), materials to be used, and the name of the person who will do the work.

2. The president then sends the request to all board members for review and discussion.

3. If necessary, questions, comments or concerns from the board are communicated back to the requestor by the president.

This initial response from the board must be communicated back to the requestor within 10 business days (if by email) after the original request was received by the president.

4. After the board’s initial questions/concerns have been addressed by the requestor and communicated back to the board through the president, the board has 10 more business days to review and respond, either with project approval or additional requests for more information.

******************************************************************************

This procedure includes the following parameters:

• All communications between the requestor and the board must go exclusively through the president.

• If any board member is not reachable throughout the request/response time period, then the president has the authority to extend the time period to allow the board member’s participation, or complete the discussion/response process without that one board member. No more than one board member may be absent for any particular enhancement process.

• For any project to be approved, acceptance by the board must be unanimous, less one vote.

• If the president is the requestor, then the vice president assumes his or her duties in facilitating the communication and review process with the board.
