Virginia Oaks is not the community that many of us moved into when we bought our homes. The beautiful landscaping of the golf course is gone, the social amenities at the clubhouse are gone. Weeds are visible from our streets and backyards, and they will grow faster than the trees in the nutrient bank. The clubhouse is vacant and deteriorating. Our property values will be impacted as this continues.
The golf course owners have offered to give the former golf course property, excluding the lot that fronts on Route 29 and the clubhouse to the HOA. The HOA cannot afford to accept it without raising HOA fees. If we acquire the Clubhouse, we could restore it and use it to generate revenue that would keep down maintenance costs and we would have a beautiful clubhouse at the center of the community, five miles of walking trails, and amenities equal to or better than any local community. Homeowners would also be able to maintain the safety and appearance of the nutrient bank property and golf course land behind their homes and the HOA could mow and maintain the street frontage.
If we do nothing, the clubhouse and our neighborhood will deteriorate. If we take advantage of this opportunity, we will have amenities equal to any neighborhood in the area and build value into our homes for many years to come.
A plan exists where this can be accomplished without an increase in HOA fees. Please sign this petition to indicate your interest in the HOA Board of Directors pursuing this opportunity,
Sign the petition if you agree that we:
1) Should acquire the former golf course land and walking trails.
2) Should acquire and renovate the Clubhouse and move some or all pool, fitness equipment, tennis and athletic courts, and playground equipment to the center of the neighborhood.

I spent the morning walking through the old back nine just looking at those weeds and it really hit me how much space we are letting rot. People have been messaging me with so many worries about property values but I honestly think if we get the clubhouse back under our control we can turn this whole momentum around without hitting anyone in the wallet.

This neighborhood is no longer beautiful. Can we get some class back? Take over the golf course, have a beautiful clubhouse in the center of the neighborhood, and make sure strangers can’t just come walking around our neighborhood. We can’t do this if somebody else owns our backyard. Take action.
I'm in favor of acquiring the golf course land/trails and the Clubhouse. I am NOT in favor of losing the existing pool facilities and playground. I could care less about the land in front of 29. Suggest a tree line screening after the playground. Willing to pay additional dues. Suggest HOA rule enforcement on homes/review of management contract. ACT NOW!
****The Steering Committee is investigating many options relating to the golf course land and clubhouse. They will be presenting all options to the community. An option exists that would allow the community to acquire the land and clubhouse with no increase in HOA fees. Signing this petition is not a vote. You will be asked to vote later once all details are known. But it’s important for the HOA Board to know that there is community support for Virginia Oaks to protect the most important parts of our community.
Signing to plan for the future of VAOaks without the negative impact of the unknown. Being proactive in the decisions made to improve our neighborhood. Securing the clubhouse would provide a community center and ❤️ To a neighborhood that has lost it’s cohesiveness. Be bold, protect our future and support a positive change.
I can respect the concern that the residents near the US29 frontage are feeling; however, the options are severely limited and we must pursue the sale of frontage in order to gain control of the deteriorating clubhouse and walking paths. What was acceptable 20 years ago is not necessarily applicable to today's environment. We all need to be amicable to change.
We need to make a decision. It has already been a year, and the clubhouse and trails continue to be an eyesore.
Solution must be discussed prior to actual action,

To do nothing does our community a huge disservice! We NEED a gathering place for meetings and other community events. Even without a golf course, Virginia Oaks can be great again...let’s explore our options and see some results!
