Any installation of invisible or electronic fencing for animals must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).

If you have nuisance animals that have found their way into your home, garage, porch, or property, you may have the animal trapped at your expense. Wild animals in the common area are generally not considered a nuisance and the Association will not trap wild animals in the common area unless there are unusual circumstances.  The Association reserves the right to consider trapping on a case-by-case basis.

Please contact the ECA office.  

Assessments are due on the first of each month. If full payment has not been received 35 days after the due date, the association manager will notify you. Any unpaid balance after 45 days will accrue a late fee of $25 per month until paid. If unpaid balances remain after 90 days, the Board of Directors may vote to place a lien on the property, after which the legal and administrative costs of perfecting the lien will be borne by the owner.

To keep administrative costs low, Ednam does not invoice its residents.  In December you will receive an email advising you of your monthly assessment for the following calendar year.

Ednam currently does not accept ACH transfers or payments by credit card, only checks.  We encourage owners to set up monthly automatic online Electronic Bill Paying.  Prepayment for any time-period is acceptable.

Owners receive lawn care services, plant care, trash removal and snow removal on their properties. The Assessment is also used by the Association to maintain the common area landscaping, structures, and roads within Ednam

Yes but please advise the ECA Manager if you intend to have the vehicle there for more than a day.

The first choice should be your driveway or parking spaces on your property. For short visits, guests should park along the side of the street, preferably on the pavement, avoiding neighbors landscaping.  Check with neighbors to see if they have additional parking spaces on their property you can use.  For longer visits, the Association owns two guest parking lots, one on Dryden Lane across from the Realty office, and beside Worthington Drive, across from Worthington Place Condominiums. Recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats are not to be parked in community lots at any time.  Pickup trucks, motorcycles, small utility trailers and commercial vehicles shall not be parked in community lots for more than 24 hours.  Contractor vehicles and equipment related to remodeling or maintenance may be parked in the community lots as authorized by the ECA Manager to perform the necessary work.

There are no prohibitions on owning these types of vehicles. However, if you own any of these, they must be garaged on your property and cannot be parked outside. Boats and RVs cannot be stored in either Association parking lot.  We strongly recommend RV’s and boats be stored off-site.  Pickup trucks and motorcycles can only be parked in community lots for 24 hours.

One stone building (across from 1125 Dryden Lane) is owned by the Association and is used for Association storage. The other stone building is privately owned.

Residents of both Worthington Place and Chamberlain Village Condominiums are residents of Ednam.

Condominium owners pay the same general assessment, and assessments for road reserves, and snow reserves as single-family homeowners in addition to their condominium assessments. The condominium associations pay a fee to Ednam for trash services. Chamberlain Village has contracted with Ednam for management services and landscape services. Worthington Place is self-managed, and it has separate contracts for their landscape services.  

Each of the two condominium associations are separate corporate entity governed by the Virginia Condominium Act, and each has its own budget, assessment, and governing organization.
