An application is not needed for the planting of shrubs, bushes, trees, or gardens.  However, the Guidelines specify that vegetable gardens must be in the backyard.  In addition, the Guidelines state that approximately 75 percent of the front yard and 75 percent of the side and backyard should remain as lawn.
 
If the landscaping project involves the construction of a walkway, retaining wall, patio, fencing, or similar features, then an application is required.

The Guidelines require house numbers to be legible from the street or pipestem.  Fairfax County code requires house numbers to be affixed to the side of the house on which the main entrance is located.  (Chapter 102 of the Fairfax County Code, entitled "Streets and Sidewalks," outlines the specific requirements of the law.) 

The Covenants require color that changes be reviewed and approved by the ACC.  If you wish to paint your front door, or any other exterior part of your home a different color, please submit an ACC application. 

An application is required for playground equipment that is attached to another structure or tree, permanently anchored to the ground, or too large to be easily moved and stored out of site when not in use.

Yes.  The replacement of windows or siding is a change to a major exterior component of a home.  Usually there is an accompanying change in materials - aluminum to vinyl siding, wood to vinyl windows.  Even if the color of the new windows or siding is the same as the current colors, an application is still required.

No.  An ACC application is not needed to remove tree.  However, if the process of cutting down the tree and removing the stump and roots disturbs more than 2,500 square feet of soil, then a Fairfax County permit is required.

 

 

No.  Per the Covenants, the project must be approved before work commences.  However, if this situation arises, contact the ACC.  Generally speaking, appropriate arrangements can be made.

 

 

The ACC Application is the means by which you present your project proposal to the ACC for their review.  Your application should describe your proposed project in detail.  The ACC will review your project plans and then either approve them or disapprove them.

The ACC conducts an annual inspection of each property in Fox Mill Estates.  The annual inspection is generally in the spring.  However, inspections occur year round; violations can be cited whenever they are observed.

All of our By-Law information and Association Documents can be found on our website the Forms page, or requested from a board member. This includes the guidelines covering the Deed Restrictions and Covenants that homeowners must follow.

If you are selling your home, please be aware of the requirement for homeowners to provide a Resale Disclosure Package to a prospective Buyer. As a rule of thumb, if your house is on the market, you should order your Resale Disclosure Package from AMV early in the process to avoid closing delays. The Package includes an ARC Inspection of the property, to ensure the Buyers that the property meets all current Architectural Guidelines, and that all Exterior Changes and/or Additions have been properly submitted for Application and Approved over the history of the house. We many times find that Changes or Additions were made but were not properly Approved, leaving closing agents, management companies and sellers rushing around at the last minute to get all of the necessary Approvals prior to Closing. The Seller has the responsibility to make sure that all Exterior Changes and/or Additions have been submitted to the ARC Committee for Review and Approval. If you purchased your home “As Is” from the previous owner or from a bank, this process could have been waived, so it may be necessary for any changes to be documented prior to your selling the property. For example, 2 years ago a neighbor was moving and gave or sold you the shed or play set that was in their back yard. You dismantled and resurrected it in your yard, and now you’re ready to sell your house. The play set was not Approved , and obtaining the Approval could hold up your closing if not discovered until only days before hand. The Board is also considering a fine against the Seller in situations like this, as it is not the ARC Committee’s responsibility to make sure that a project is Approved prior to closing. If there are any undocumented changes on your house, please submit and ARC Application as soon as possible to avoid delays and/or fines.

(January 2011)

The common lands are and continue to be a great natural asset to our community. These lands were permanently set aside to maintain the natural beauty of the areas and to create natural buffers as well as to provide a form of recreation and education. They were established not for just today but for the future. They were established to enrich the lives of all those living within the community. Only through the cooperation of each individual member of this community is the preservation of these lands possible.

 

The lands are:

3. Provided for the enjoyment and benefit for all residents and their guests.

 

We can help to insure the preservation of these lands if:

Violations of these guidelines are subject to corrective action by the FMEHA.

 

Common land “concerns” should be directed to the chairperson of the Common Land Committee and complaints must be stated in written form for official action.

 

 

Fairfax County has a leash law requiring dogs to be on a leash and under control at all times. Therefore, when dogs are walked in the neighborhood or through the Common Areas, they must be leashed. Dog owners are required to pick up after their pets and properly dispose of waste. The county also requires a license for dogs for $10. Applications for a dog license may be obtained from a vet or from the county, and needs to be renewed annually.

The HOA is responsible for the maintanence of the Common Areas, including the playgrounds, recreational equipment, landscaping and mowing. To report a problem on the common areas, such as damaged property, fallen trees or misuse, please contact CommonLand@fmeha.org and or Board@fmeha.org. Any suspected illegal activity should be reported immediately to the police.

The Common Land and playgrounds are available to all homeowners & tenants and their guest from dawn until dusk, and remain closed overnight. Therefore, there is no overnight camping allowed. All amenities are available on a First Come, First Served basis. Reservations cannot be made for exclusive use of either the gazebos or the palygrounds. Residents are welcome to have family activities and gatherings in the common areas, just be aware that you may be joined by other residents. There is no electricity service or potable water supply available to any of the common areas. Please help keep our common areas clean by removing and properly disposing of waste. Dogs mush be on a leash. No motorized vehicles or horses are allowed on the Common Areas. There is no swimming, boating, fishing or skating allowed on the pond.

Chickens cannot be kept on your property in Fox Mill Estates per the Declaration, Article VII, para. 6 which states "No horse, pony, cow, chicken, pig, hog, sheep, goat or other domestic or wild animal shall be kept or maintained on any lot other than common household pets, provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained for commercial purposes."

 

Bee hives should be kept in the back yard and must comply with Fairfax County regulations which state that the "keeping of honey bees in four (4) beehives or less shall be allowed as an accessory use on any lot. On any lot of 10,000 square feet in size or larger, more than four (4) beehives may be kept, provided there is an additional lot area of 2500 square feet for each hive."
 

 

The pipes are cleanouts for the sanitary sewer lateral that runs from the house to the sewer main. A replacement cap can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot for about $2.00. The square peg is so you can utilize a wrench to loosen the cap if it is stuck.

Parking not allowed in or within 20 feet of the intersection. Radius is from where the pavement begins to curve for the cross street.

For more parking restrictions and related issues, refer to the County's General Parking Restrictions.

Parking is not allowed within 30 feet of a stop sign. Many vehicles in the neighborhood do not observe this. The police will enforce this if noticed or called in.

For more parking restrictions and related issues, refer to the County's General Parking Restrictions.

Q: Can Pipestems be used for parking in addition to a homeowner’s driveway?

A: All vehicles should be parked only in areas designated for parking (such as a driveway or parking lot). Pipestems are jointly deeded and are for legal access to the properties located on the pipestem. Parking on a pipestem can block emergency and utility vehicles that may need to reach a home on the pipestem.

 

Q: Are the pipestems Private Property?

A: Pipestems are considered Private Property, but is NOT intended to be used as a “long private driveway” for long-term parking. Parking on a pipestem can block emergency and utility vehicles that may need to reach a home on the pipestem.

 

Q: If pipestems are Private Property, who maintains them?

A: The owners of the properties located on the pipestem are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the signage and asphalt.  Neither the county nor the FMEHA maintains the pipestem, including snow removal.  However, the FMEHA does have the right and responsibility to see that the pipestem is maintained by the homeowners.  The cost of maintenance is the equally shared responsibility of the property owners with deeded access on the pipestem.

 

Q:  Where can I obtain additional information?

A:  Virginia Code Sections 55-50.1 Enjoyment of Easement and 46.2-1211 Removal of Motor Vehicles Obstructing Movement

Pipestem signs, also called private driveway signs, are privately owned and maintained by the property owners on the pipestem. For information about purchasing a pipestem sign, call the Cashier's Office of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services at 703-324-1520, TTY 711. Information on sign design requirements can be found in Chapter 7 of the County's Public Facilities Manual.

 

 

 

 

No. Fox Mill does not currently have a No Solicitation Policy.

A police officer has only a split second to make a decision when dealing with guns. Looking at this gun, a police officer would treat it as being a real gun and take appropriate action to protect others and defend himself or herself. This is actually an air gun. However, it closely resembles the Sig Sauer guns carried by the Fairfax County Police Department. This toy was taken from an elementary aged child in Chantilly who thought it was “cool” to carry it in his pants to look tough. Other children reported the youth to adults.

 

Fairfax County Code Section 6-1-2.1 Discharge of BB-guns, air pistols, air rifles and pellet guns in certain places prohibited.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6-1-2, a person may discharge a traditional BB-gun, air pistol, air rifle or pellet gun, which propels a projectile by means of energy released by compressed air, compressed gas, mechanical spring or a combination thereof, on a parcel of land containing at least one (1) acre of land in an area designated for the discharge of firearms or other guns in accordance with Appendix J to the Fairfax County Code. Provided, however, no person shall discharge any such BB-gun, air pistol, air rifle or pellet gun within one hundred (100) yards of a public school ground or a public park, and no person shall traverse a public school ground, or a public park while in possession of a BB-gun, air pistol, air rifle or pellet gun. Violation of this Section shall be punishable as a Class 4 misdemeanor.

 

Fairfax County Code Section 6-1-6. Carrying and discharging of guns by minors.

(a) It shall be unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years to carry any gun or starting pistol on the public highways or public lands of the County, unless accompanied by an adult where the relationship of adult and minor is that of parent and child, guardian and ward or instructor and pupil.

(b) This Section shall not apply to a gun carried unloaded in a completely closed carrying case or when completely and securely wrapped and not concealed on the person.

(c) It shall also be unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years to discharge a gun anywhere in the County unless in the presence and under the supervision of an adult bearing the relationship defined above in this Section. Any gun that projects a missile (air gun, paint ball gun, BB-gun) has great potential to injure someone if shot at close enough range. Education is the best prevention. Know the law and educate your children.

 

Before buying your child a “toy” gun, ask yourself in that split second - “Does this look like a real gun or like a real toy?”

 

(This article was copied from the November 2005 issue of the SULLY SPOTLIGHT.)

 

Be sure the contract includes the contractor’s name, address, phone and license number (if applicable). A contract should include details about what the contractor will and will not do. A detailed list of materials for the project should be included in your contract, with information such as size, color, model, brand name and product. The contract should include approximate start and completion dates. Study the design plans carefully. Insist that you approve them and that they are identified in your written contract before any work begins.

 

Known as the “Right of Rescission,” Federal law requires a contractor to give you written notice of your right to, without penalty, cancel a contract within three business days of signing, provided it was solicited at some place other than the contractor’s place of business or appropriate trade premises.

 

Make sure financial terms are understood and spelled out in the contract. The total price, payment schedule, and any cancellation penalty should be clear. A warranty covering materials and workmanship for a minimum of one year should be written into the contract. The warranty must be identified as either "full" or "limited." The name and address of the party who will honor the warranty (contractor, distributor or manufacturer) must be identified. Make sure the time period for the warranty is specified.

 

A binding arbitration clause is also a good inclusion in the event a disagreement occurs. Arbitration may enable you to resolve disputes without costly litigation. Thoroughly review the entire contract and be certain you understand it before signing it. Consider the scope of the project and make sure all items you’ve requested are included. If you do not see a specific item in the contract, consider it not included. Never sign an incomplete contract. Always keep a copy of the final document for your records.

Lastly, NEVER PAY THE FULL COST OF THE PROJECT UPFRONT!

 

If you do run into a problem with a contractor, you can file a complaint with Fairfax County at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/consumer/.

A pocket bike or pocket rocket is a motorcycle designed for children or teenagers. To be considered a moped and be legal for the streets, the law requires that the seat be at least 24 inches high and the motor be no more than 50 CC's. A 50 CC engine will reach top speeds of 35 to 40 miles per hour. Any engine larger than that, reaching speeds higher than that will be considered a motorcycle and require a license, registration and VIN number.

 

 

Code of Virginia, Title 46.2, section 100, provides that:

"Motor-driven cycle" means every motorcycle that has a gasoline engine that (i) displaces less than 150 cubic centimeters; (ii) has a seat less than 24 inches in height, measured from the middle of the seat perpendicular to the ground; and (iii) has no manufacturer-issued vehicle identification number.

 

 

Code of Virginia, Title 46.2, section 911.1, provides that:

Fox Mill Estates is a community that has VDOT maintained streets, with only a limited few exceptions. Residential streets cleared by VDOT will not be plowed until the snow event has ended, and they are allowed another 24 hours or more after that time to plow. This may create a delay of time for the plows getting into the community for several days. It may put a strain on your ability to get out onto the main roads.

 

The best plan is to stay home and not venture out on the roads unless it is absolutely necessary. If you get stuck out there, you could be waiting hours in the cold for assistance. Please keep in mind that many area businesses may be closed during the snow event.

 

While the streets are maintained by VDOT, it is still the responsibility of every homeowner to clear the sidewalk adjacent to the property. Some elderly residents may need assistance. Please be willing to help out a neighbor or hire out an able-bodied high school student. Working together creates communities.

 

VDOT reminds residents of the following:

 

* The main, more heavily traveled roads in a subdivision will be plowed first, to be followed by low-volume roads and cul-de-sacs.

* Plows will make one or two trips to provide a path through neighborhood streets, but they will not clear to bare pavement or from curb to curb.

* Because chemicals are not used in subdivisions, roads will remain snowpacked and rutted after the plow has passed. Crews will put sand on hills, curves and intersections as needed to provide traction.

* If planning to shovel their driveways, residents should try to refrain from clearing the last few feet at the curb until your street is plowed, as plows may push snow back into driveways. It also helps to shovel to the right as you face the road.

* VDOT does not remove snow from sidewalks or trails.

* VDOT plow drivers have assigned routes that include each and every state-maintained road in northern Virginia.

* Call 911 if you have a medical emergency and need to leave your home.

 

If residents have not seen a plow in their subdivision, they can call 703-383-VDOT or e-mail novainfo@vdot.virginia.gov with the location. Photos are also welcomed. Crews will be dispatched to treat missed spots and problem areas.

 

All the streets in our neighborhood are owned and maintained by VDOT. For information about street paving, either:

 

* call the Fairfax office at 703-383-8368

* contact the Customer Service Center at 1-800-FOR-ROAD

* check their web site at www.virginiadot.org

The board and residents extend our thanks Supervisor Cathy Hudgins and her staff for attending the October 2009 board meeting to discuss the traffic and parking issues in Fox Mill Estates. Many residents attended the meeting and had questions for the Supervisor. We discussed general and specific traffic flow patterns, problem areas, as well as the progress for the amendment to the Reston CPD, (Community Parking District) which restricts commercial vehicle parking within residential neighborhoods. We supplied an itemized list of intersections and streets to be studied for safety concerns, along with suggested changes.

 

In discussing the overall traffic patterns and concerns, one theme above all, became clear: SPEED. The speed limit throughout the neighborhood is 25 mph. Upon entering Fox Mill at Viking Dr, McLearn, Pinecrest, Keele, and Farthingale, the speed limit is 25 mph. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of observing the posted speed limit, and we have requested increased police enforcement with both speeding and ‘rolling through’ Stop signs. Fox Mill Estates is a suburban residential neighborhood, and our streets must be safely shared with bicycles, pedestrian, pets, children, buses, utility and trash hauling vehicles. Drivers must be patient and not just zoom around larger vehicles because they “are in a hurry”. Passing a bus or large vehicle can be done ONLY when it is safe to do so.

 

Another area of discussion was parking near the school. Residents who live near and across from the school shared their frustration with cars parking in their driveways, or such that the car is blocking the driveway and/or the mailboxes. The result is their inability to leave or enter their own driveways or have their mail delivered. County Parking Restrictions prohibit parking within 10 feet on either side of a driveway (which is usually where one locates a mailbox). If you are visiting the school, do not park in a private driveway, or so that you are blocking a driveway or mailbox. Curb parking is another area of enforcement that we have requested from the police department. They may paint the curbs indicating where NOT to park, or create marked parking spaces. Please park in a legal parking spot, starting with the parking lot provided on the school property.

 

While the county is still studying several items on our list, they have made some recommendations that will go to the Board of Supervisors for approval. The two biggest changes would be installing Multi-Way Stops on Quincy Adams Drive at Wendell Holmes Road and McLearn Road to reduce speed and make the intersections safer. Also, we expect our requests for “Playground” and “Children Playing” signs to be approved. UPDATE 3/2010: A 3-Way STOP has now been installed at the intersection of Magna Carta at Keele. Traffic leaving Fox Mill on Magna Carta must now STOP at Keele. 3-Way stops are now installed at McLearn at Quincy Adams, and Quincy Adams at Wendell Holmes.

 

 

Regarding the Amendment of the Reston CPD to include Fox Mill Estates, the county continues to contact other HOAs within the proposed new boundaries to encourage their participation. Once amended, the CPD will prohibit the parking of commercial vehicles, along with trailers, campers, RVs, and boats on the streets of Fox Mill Estates. They are currently prohibited from being parked in the driveways.

UPDATE 3/2010: The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to take action on Tuesday, March 23 to authorize advertisement of a public hearing for April 27, 2010 at 4:30 PM to consider adopting the proposed amendment to the Fairfax County Code that would expand the Reston Large Area Community Parking District. This item is moving forward because of a request by the Fox Mill Estates Homeowners Association.

UPDATE 4-27-10: The County Board of Supervisors held a Public Hearing regarding the Amendment of the Reston CPD. The Board supported the Amendment unanimously and the new restrictions will go into effect June 1, 2010. The following vehicles are restricted from being parked on streets within FME:

* Boat Trailer

* Watercraft (boat)

* Motor Home

* Camping Trailer

* Trailer or Semi-trailer, even if attached to a vehicle

* Vehicle >= 3 axles

* Vehicle with a gross vehicle weighted rating (GVWR) >= 12,000 lbs

  

We would like to thank all of the many residents from Fox Mill and Fox Mill 2 who have helped to identify areas of concern in the traffic flow for the county to study. As more recommendations are made, we will share that information with the communities.

UPDATE 4/2014: A recommendation was made to the FMEHA Board regarding the installation of "$200 Additional Fine for Speeding" signs for Viking Drive and Pinecrest Road due to concern over the continued speeding and cut-through traffic in our neighborhood.  We are pleased to announce that The Board of Supervisors approved the “$200 Additional Fine for Speeding” signs on Viking Drive from Lawyers Road to Pinecrest Road, and Pinecrest Road from Fox Mill Road to the end of the road. The signs have been installed and the new fines are now in effect.
