HOA or Services Fee |
We are NOT a traditional HOA, we are simply a
social organization, a non-profit HA. There are no
HOA fees. The Oak Run Homeowners Association
(ORHA) does not own any of the common areas. They
are all owned by Oak Run Associates, Ltd.
(ORA-Ltd), previously known as DECCA, the
developer. The ORHA Board of Directors and various
Officers are in charge of the use and scheduling
of all common area venues. The residents pay a
"Services Fee" (similar to an Amenities Fee) to
ORA-Ltd.
The monthly Services Fee covers weekly garbage and
yard waste pick-up, 24-hour security, basic cable
TV (36 channels with one free DTA), community
Channel-12 TV (info station for clubs, etc.), use
of all facilities, maintenance of all recreational
and common areas. The average services fee is $132
with the lower numbered neighborhoods being the
lowest and the upper numbered neighborhoods the
highest.
There are two types of properties in Oak Run,
regular homesites and 'maintained' homesites. With
a maintained homesite the services (amenities) fee
includes these extra services: sprinkler system
and the water used; mowing, edging, fertilizing
and weed control of the lawn; trimming and
mulching of the landscaping (unless you alter
something). Villa homesites also include exterior
pressure washing once a year and painting every 5
years. With a regular homesite you're on your own
to provide the above services.
To know what a particular homesite's Services Fee
will be is to contact the listing real estate
agent or the ORA-Ltd officesHERE.
There are so many variables that go into this fee
that it would be extremely difficult to list all
possible fee examples. And, the basic fees
increase as you select premium services such as
internet, phone, extended TV, movie channels, and
HD. Fees are adjusted on a yearly basis to reflect
the average CPI increase for the most recent 12
months.

| History Of
The Website |
 The website (at the current
address) was created by John Baccoli on January 23,
2004 as a personally-owned and personally-paid
website. A predecessor site was created by John months
earlier as an ISP domain from AT&T.
With very patient and
helpful tutoring from Jim Dillman the site began to
take shape. John's purpose for the site was to provide
Oak Run residents with information such as Board
meeting minutes, By-laws, Policies and Procedures and
interesting coming events. These two early sites were
well received by the community and John continued his
service as Oak Run's Webmaster for four years.
In late 2006 after
discussions with various Board members John decided to
transfer ownership of the website to the Oak Run
Homeowners Association (ORHA). With the transfer
complete, in January 2007 Bill Pascoe became the ORHA
Webmaster. Bill enlisted the help of Bob Sheetz and
John McHale to obtain software that would make
maintaining and expanding the site easier and less
HTML code intensive.
Carrying on John's
tradition of providing information to residents Bill
began to include new pages for many clubs and
organizations in Oak Run. Eventually the Channel-12
notices and links to local websites were added. Bill
had many assistants during this time of expansion who
provided content and other help with the new web
pages. After four successful years Bill decided to
step down as Webmaster.
In January 2011 Jim
Waddell, ORHA President, began searching for a new
Webmaster. In March 2011 Ron Kenyon assumed the role
as ORHA Webmaster. Ron began a complete redesign of
the website, adding many improvements and
enhancements.
The site was
reorganized, navigation aids were installed on all
pages and new content was introduced. Along with
increased content for established residents, content
was added for new residents, renters and out of state
readers (potential residents).
After more than nine
years of community service, Ron officially retired in
June, 2020. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Ron will continue to
serve into 2022. ORHA
welcomes those who will carry on the volunteer
tradition of John Baccoli, Bill Pascoe and Ron Kenyon.
This website continues to be the "Gateway To Information" for Oak Run.
