What do you think? DOGS

In the past months several residents, both owners and tenants, have suggested that we have a "no dogs" policy here at 900 Marshy Cove.  This would be a membership decision. Unit owners must vote on a rule change. Maryland State Condominium Law requires a 60% vote (29 owners) to carry an amendment to our by-laws.  If a rule were adopted, all current dogs would be grandfathered. 

Our pet policy has been to too difficult to enforce reliably and consistently. Many fail to register their pets despite penalties. Incidents have generated complaints with limited remedy.  Overweight dogs, aggressive behavior, barking, and the occasional accident, have upset non-dog owners and dog owners alike.  

Our exterior grounds have also been damaged with urine that burn-out patches of grass. Some dog owners fail to comply with the pick-up rule.

We live in close quarters so house rules are necessary to ensure the safety, and comfort of all residents. Pets provide companionship for many.  Sometimes issues like this need just to be addressed. Many condominium organizations like 900 Marshy Cove in Maryland have adopted "No Dog" policies.  

Before any formal action is taken, please express your opinion by sending an email to mc900@comcast.net

~YES,  I am in favor of a "No Dogs " amendment

~NO, The current "Pet Policy" is sufficient

~Need more information, Here's what I think!

It's time to break the silence. Your reply will be heard. 

This subject will be an agenda item at our 

Annual Meeting of Members on May 12, 2018.

Regards to all, 
George B, President, 
900 Marshy Cove Condominium Association
