What type of dwellings are in WPCA?

Whispering Pines Condominium Association (WPCA)  homes are legally described as detached condominiums.

Our complex has 100 lots. The development is a “Residential Condominium Project” administered by an Association of Co-Owners. This association is responsible for the management, maintenance, operation and administration of the common elements, easements and affairs of the condominium project, including the determination and collection of dues. The association is governed by the documents located here.

The homes (units) within the development are owned, managed and maintained by each “co-owner” aka “homeowner” and to be used for single family residential purposes.
No unit is attached to another. They are commonly referred to as “Site Condominiums”. Each co-owner has an equal vote within the association when it comes to the election of the Board of Directors and certain fiscal activities.
Is the Golf Course part of WPCA.

No.

The Whispering Pines Golf Course is a public course, with no ties to WPCA

Is there an Association Fee?

The current annual Homeowner Association Dues are $575 to be paid in 1 payment sent to the address below.

Our fiscal year is April 1 to March 31.  Dues are assessed on April 1 of each year.  Current year dues not paid by June 30th are considered overdue (delinquent) and a fee of 10% of the current year’s dues will be assessed on the account. If current year dues are not paid by September 30th, an additional fee of $200 will be assessed on the account and a lien will be filed on the property.

All receivables that are overdue will be charged interest at the rate of 0.5% per month on the total net monthly balance, plus such additional interest rate surcharge as the Board of Directors shall approve, until each installment is paid in full. Provided, however, that the interest rate and interest rate surcharge combined applying to delinquent amounts, compounded monthly do not exceed 7% annual rate. The initial implementation of the interest charges on delinquent annual dues will have a 10-day waiting period. If not paid by the end of the waiting period, interest will be applied retroactively to July 1. These charges will accrue monthly with notices to delinquent homeowners about every three months.

The application of payments to member account balances (for association dues, fines, interest and fees) is based on Statement Balance Billing.  That is, payments are applied to the oldest charges first.

Checks to be payable to:

Do Township police have the authority to enforce Vehicle code on WPCA roads?

In the month of October 2017, WPCA and Hamburg Township entered into an agreement that authorizes the Hamburg Police to enter the community and to enforce Michigan Vehicle Code.

A copy of that agreement can be found HERE.

This agreement was made possible only after the traffic and street signs met the requirements of Michigan code. New compliant signage was also completed in October 2017.

Select “Board Members” from the side menu.

Realtors/Banks: What are the fees for formal inquiries?

Who has the responsibility for Road Maintenance in Whispering Pines?

Three entities share maintenance responsibilities in the development: Whispering Pines Condominium Association (WPCA), Fairways of Whispering Pines (FWP) and Whispering Pines Golf Club (WPGC),

  • WPCA maintains 6 roads in the development: Rolling Greens Dr., Fairways Dr. Mulligan Dr., Meadowcrest Ct. and Tree Top Ct,
  • FWP maintains 5 roads in the development: Whispering Pines Dr, Signature Dr., Signature Cir., Tioga Dr. and Tioga Ct.
  • WPGC has the responsibility of Maintenance of the Whispering Pines Dr. entrance, less the new landscaping paid for and maintained by WPCA.

Whispering Pines Dr. is owned by (WPCA), while the maintenance of this road is the responsibility of (FWP).

Background: The original plan for the Whispering Pines Development, called for the WPCA Developer to build Whispering Pines Dr. and the FWP Developer to build a second entrance road. Subsequently, however, the two developers agreed that in lieu of the FWP Developer building the second entrance, the FWP Developer would maintain Whispering Pines Dr. that was built by the WPCA Developer, noting that FWP is the primary user of the road.

There is a Road Maintenance Agreement that outlines the details and requirements therein.

Does the association have Homeowner's Association Master Condo Insurance?

Yes, our policy is currently with: Auto Owners Ins, Policy# 984674-14507536-16 Hartland Insurance Agency. 810-632-5161

Does WPCA have a trash Pickup provider?

WPCA by-laws provide for the selection of an exclusive Trash Pickup provider. This provides each homeowner preferred rates and services.

The WPCA Board manages the general relationship, performance and pricing. Each homeowner is billed separately and is responsible for their own billing and their individual relationship with the provider.

Our current provider is GFL (Green For Life).  This 3 yr contract term is from 3/1/2018 – 2/28/2021. The price is $15.75/month, billed quarterly, with a provision to increase rates by 2.5% in years 2 and 3.

Features:

  • Price includes pickup of solid waste and recycle material; no fuel and environmental fees;
  • 1 additional trash container can be provided, if needed for no charge;
  • 2 free bulk item pickups per quarter. These bulk pickup requests need to be requested from GFL customer services by calling 844-464-3587 at least 24 hours in advance of your normal service day (currently Wednesday).

Each homeowner should have been sent a personalized letter that outlines their services and costs.

9/8/2021 update:
As widely publicized, GFL has cancelled service for many of its customers. WPCA WILL NOT BE CANCELLED. We (and other HOA’s) will continue to receive the service provided before GFL labor issues were encountered.

WPCA/GFL arrangement will continue on a month to month basis with the existing pricing, plus any environmental fees.
