What's Up With That?

Why Reston Association is looking to add one particular property to the association.

Reston Association's Board of Directors will vote Monday to add a property - 11101 Chessington Place, Reston  - to the association.

What makes that house so special? It's not the house, its the owner.

RA At-large director Donna Rostant and her husband recently moved from a home within RA boundaries to the $1 million home on Chessington. Since RA by-laws say a director must be an RA member, the solution seems to be to add the home to RA.

RA president Ken Knueven said the Reston deed outlines the process of adding real property to the Association. 

A home can be added to RA with the written consent of the homeowner and any holder of a deed of trust and a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors during a meeting in which a quorum is present.

Alternatively, for anyone who resents RA assessments and regulations - there is no streamlined process for leaving the Association.
