Thank you to our neighborhood volunteers who served on the Covenants & Restrictions Committee and to every community member who engaged in this voting process.
Unfortunately, we did not receive enough participation for a quorum. As such, no changes will be made to the BCA Covenants & Restrictions at this time.
From Sheri at Dorchester Real Estate:
I spoke with the attorney again to confirm a quorum is based on the number of homes/lots, not number of ballots/homeowners. Yes, each lot gets 2 votes, but the quorum needed for votes to even count is based on the number of homes/lots, which would be 50% +1. We have 326 homes/lots, minus the 25 in arrears, leaves 301 eligible homes. 50% of that would be 150 homes +1 for a total of 151 homes to meet the quorum.
Unfortunately, we did not receive enough for a quorum. We only received ballots from 103 homes; we needed 151.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the BCA Board.
