Who manages Bridlewood Community Association?
Sequoia Management Company manages our neighborhood. Contact them for all issues (see Contacts page). Direction is provided by the 5 volunteer members of our Board of Directors, elected by homeowners.
What type of meetings does the community association have?
There are two types of association meetings. There is an Annual Homeowners Meeting in June of each year. Board members are elected at this meeting. The second type of meetings are the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors with Sequoia Management. Homeowners are welcome at all meetings.
When does the Board of Directors meet, and can I attend?
Board members meet monthly with Sequoia Management to review contracts, finances, maintenance issues, etc. Meetings are typically on the 3rd Tuesday at 7:00pm at the clubhouse. If the date changes, we will post it on the News page of this website. Residents and homeowners are welcome to attend.
How can I stay informed about Bridlewood?
Several ways. (1) Check the News section of this website frequently. (2) Sign up on the Sequoia Management website to receive email notices. (3) Join the Facebook group for Bridlewood neighbor-to-neighbor communications.
Why is a proxy form with the Annual Meeting notice?
We must have a certain number of homeowners represented at the meeting inorder to conduct business (quorum). Many years, we do not have the required number and cannot hold a homeowners meeting. Completing and returning your proxy means that we (or whoever you designate) can represent you and count you as present.
Do I have a voice in community association matters?
Absolutely. You can email Sequoia Management and board members at any time. We encourage you to attend our meetings. You have a vote in electing the members of the Board of Directors at the annual homeowners meeting.
Is there a cemetery in Bridlewood?
Yes, there is an old cemetery with approximately 50 unknown graves at the end of Latonia Ct. In 2019, we met with the county archeologist at the site. It was the consensus that we should leave the area overgrown and undisturbed, with only occasional maintenance to cut down a dead tree that might cause injury.
Which utility companies service Bridlewood?
Gas - Washington Gas; Electric - NOVEC; Water and Sewer - PWCSA; Internet, phone and TV (cable) - Verizon FiOS and Comcast Xfinity.
Does Poison Ivy grow in Bridlewood?
Yes, poison ivy vines grow in wooded areas throughout Virginia, including in our neighborhood. We have no practical way to remove these plants from wooded areas (such as between Harness Shop Rd and the ball courts). We urge parents to teach their children to avoid plants with "leaves of 3" and to stay out of the wooded areas.
What about neighbor vs. neighbor disputes?
Generally speaking, our community association cannot solve a dispute you have with a neighbor regarding common issues like barking dogs, noise complaints, children entering your yard, etc. We recommend talking to your neighbor in a respectful manner. Good communications solves many problems. If the problem involves a violation of community rules, it can be reported to Sequoia Management Company.
