Section 4. Operation and Maintenance of Star Fort: (a) The SFPOA Board of
Directors shall be authorized to make direct grants of sums raised hereunder to the operating
entity, or to enter into contracts with the operating entity or any other business or entity, for the
purposes of operating and maintaining Star Fort, provided that such contracts have been first
submitted to and approved by the operating entity.
(b) No funds hereunder may be provided to the operating entity, unless and until budget
for the operation and maintenance of Star Fort shall have first been submitted to and approved
by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors. Funding shall be denied to any operating entity
in the event that the Board certifies that the operating entity cannot perform, or is not performing,
its obligations to operate and maintain Star Fort as provided herein.
(c) Unless waived by the Board of Supervisors, it shall be a condition of the continued
receipt by the operating entity of any funds provided for hereunder, that it submit an annual report
of its finances and financial operations to the Board prepared by a duly licensed certified public
accountant, and prepared in accordance with standard accounting practices, to assure the faithful
and proper application of the funds provided.

Section 5. Uniform Rate of Assessment: Annual dues must be fixed at a uniform rate
for all Lots, and may be collected on a semiannual basis.

to the notice requirement set forth in Sections 3 and 4 and the required quorum at any such
subsequent meeting shall be sixteen percent (16%). No such subsequent meeting shall be held
more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.
Section 7. Data of Commencement of Annual Assessments: Due Date: The annual
assessments provided for herein shall commence as to any particular Lot on the first day of the
month following the issuance of a building permit for that Lot. The first annual assessment shall
be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. The Board of
Directors shall fix the amount of the annual assessment against each Lot at least thirty (30) days
in advance of each annual assessment period. Written notice of the annual assessment shall be
sent to every Owner subject thereto. The due dates shall be established by the Board of Directors.
The Association shall, upon demand at any time, furnish a certificate in writing signed by an
officer of the Association, setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been
paid. A reasonable charge may be made by the Board of Directors for the issuance of the
certificates. Such certificates shall be conclusive evidence of payment of any assessment therein
stated to have been paid.
Section 8. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association:
Any assessment which is not paid when due shall be delinquent. If the assessment is not paid
within thirty (30) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear interest from the date of
delinquency at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, and the Association may bring an
action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or foreclose the lien against
Page 7
the property, and interest, costs and reasonable attorney's fees on any such action shall be added
to the amount of such assessment. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the
assessment provided for herein by non-use of the Common Areas or abandonment of his Lot.
Section 9. Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages: The lien of the assessments
provided for herein shall be subordinated to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages now or
hereafter encumbering any Lot. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien.
However, the sale or transfer of any Lot, which is subject to any mortgage or deed of trust,
pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or under the terms of a deed of trust sale, shall extinguish the
lien of such assessment as to payments thereof which become due prior to such sale or transfer.
No sale or transfers shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming
due from the lien thereof.
Section 10. Exempt Property: The following property subject to this Declaration
shall be exempt from the assessments created herein; (a) the Common Areas; and (b) all
properties dedicated to and accepted by a charitable or nonprofit organization exempt from
taxation by the laws of the State of Virginia. However, no residence occupied as a dwelling shall
be exempt from these assessments.
Section 11. Failure to Maintain Common Areas: In the event that the Association,
or its successors, shall fail to maintain the Open Space in reasonable order and condition, the
County of Frederick may take such action as authorized by the Frederick County Zoning
Ordinance. The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance is by this reference made a part hereof as
if set out in full.
ARTICLE VI

hereto and by this reference made a part hereof as if set out in full, which are constituted

Additional Notes:
1. The Frederick County Code (Subdivision) Section 144-32 requires the establishment of Property
Owners' Associations. The Star Fort Subdivision POA is not active at this time. This may constitute
a violation of the provisions of Section 144-32.
2. Taking the assessment from 1997 to 2006, based on $60 per lot for 144 lots, the total in the POA
account would be $ 86,400 over a ten (10) year period. Please note this is a number that staff has
come up with and is just an estimate.
3. The Board of Supervisor approves any turn -over of funds to an outside operating entity for Star
Fort. The parcel where Star Fort is located is owned by Middlesex Artillery Fleet's Battery, Inc.
Should you have any questions relating to this project, please call me.

RE: Star Fort, Section 4B- Final Plat approval request
I have received a request to approve the final plats for the subject subdivision. The developer claims
that all work is complete except for acceptance of the road into the State system. A minimum
construction guarantee of $10,000 is required prior to final plat approval. Please provide this
Department with a written response, which recommends an amount (if any) to be added to the
$10,000 minimum which would cover any unfinished work.

As requested by your contractor, R & G Construction Company, I have performed an inspection
of the right-of-way work performed for the referenced development.
Based on this inspection, I have found construction to be acceptable. My only concern is the
finished grade of some portions of ditch lines and how they will accommodate proposed entrance
culverts. I am willing to review this on site if necessary.
Please be advised these streets must be maintained in their present condition until admission into
the State's Secondary Road System. Furthermore, any lot development damage affecting the
right-of-way will require correction.
Please call me at (540) 535-1828 should you have any questions.

Dear Ron:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your revised plans dated January 14, 2002 for the
referenced project. The plans appear satisfactory and are approved. Please advise the
developer accordingly. Please provide six (6) sets of approved construction
plans with signed seal for VDOT distribution.
I offer the following comments:
• A preconstruction conference be held by the engineer and/or developer with the
attendance of the contractor, various County agencies and VDOT prior to initiation
of work.
• Materials used and method of construction shall apply to current observed VDOT
Road & Bridge Specifications applicable during construction of this development.
• Our review and comments are general in nature. Should conditions in the field exist
such that additional measures are warranted, such measures shall be completed to
the satisfaction of the Department prior to inclusion into the Secondary Road
System.
• Attached is a copy of the minimum requirements and information needed prior to
acceptance of subdivision streets into the Secondary System. This is the
responsibility of the developer.

• All drainage is to be carried within the right-of-way in ditch lines or gutters along the
street to a pipe or drainage easement.
• The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any
undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require 48 hours notice for inspections.
• The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is performed on
the State's right-of-way. The permit is issued by this office and will require a
minimum processing fee, surety bond coverage, and the salary & expenses of a
State assigned Inspector.
• If mailboxes are to be placed along the roadway fronting lots, a minimum of 4' shall
be between the edge of pavement and the front of mailbox as shown on the
attached sketches.
• Private entrances will be installed in accordance with VDOT Standard PE-1. This is
the developer's responsibility.
• Any entrances constructed from the referenced street(s) shall meet VDOT minimum
standards. This is the developer's responsibility.
Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments.
• I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed right-of-way
be backfilled completely with C.R. Type 21-B Stone. This will greatly reduce the
possibility of any pavement settlement.
• A copy of any/all RECORDED PLATS of dedication to public use (the County of
Frederick) for drainage easements or additional right-of-way required for
implementation of this proposed project should be provided for VDOT review prior
to issuance of any land use permit.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.

received by our office on November 16, 2001 and offer the following comments:
1. The line type should be darker for the sanitary sewer line serving Lots 58-64.

3. Depict the setback lines for Lots 58-62.

RE: Star Fort — Section 4B
Dear Patrick,

We've prepared Subdivision Design Plans for Star Fort, Section 4B. The site is located on an extension of
Fortress Drive north of the Red Cross Offices. Fortress Drive is to be extended to a new intersection with
Sentinal Drive, which is extended from Section II. The lots are set on the west side of Fortress. Star Fort lies
to the ease.
During the development of Section II, a small cul-de-sac, located adjacent to the Hillcrest Nursing Home, was
deleted. A revised master plan was submitted which relocated those lots from the cul-de-sac to this new
Section 4B. The sewer line installed to serve Section II and III, will provide service at the rear of the 4B lots.
Water meters will be extended from the 10" waterline required to be looped from Section II back to Route 522
as part of the Section III development.
Two sets of plans, the completed application and the application fee of $1,810 are attached for you review. If
you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
