Architectural Control Committee ~

ACC Request/Approval Form
ACC Code of Standards
 

The “ACC” is responsible for the architectural integrity of Pinewood Lake. The committee has review and approval authority for homeowner projects within PLHA.  In this capacity, the committee is the protector of our interests in the overall appearance and property values of our town homes. Annual home inspections are conducted to assist homeowners and reward those who put special effort into the appearance of their homes. The committee chair is Will Parks.  Please call the ACC Administrator, Karen Jones, at 703-203-4506 with any ACC-related questions.

 

Community Cinema Committee ~

The Community Cinema Committee plans and executes movie nights on which movies are shown to community members on an outdoor screen by the lake.  This is an active and exciting committee.  The Chair is Fil Martinez.  If you would like to get involved, please contact the office at 703-360-6212 or plha@verizon.net.

 

Finance Committee ~

The Finance Committee meets annually in September to help draft a budget for presentation to the Board of Directors in October.  The Chair is Mike Shigley.  If you would like to get involved, please contact the office at 703-360-6212 or plha@verizon.net.

 

Hospitality ~
The Hospitality Committee greets newcomers, sponsors the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Volunteer Appreciation Dinner and Breakfast With Santa. They also host twice-annual Newcomer Coffees and community yard sales, and the Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend Bar-B-Ques. This is a very active committee, and they would welcome your participation.
The chairperson is Susan Hosek.

Maintenance Committee ~
The 23 acres of common areas of our community are dependent on the Maintenance Committee for upkeep. The committee oversees the grounds maintenance contract and the repair and improvement of all common properties, including the 5-acre lake. These areas include the Frank Holub Community Center/ PLHA Office, 1.57 miles of perimeter fence, those roads not maintained by the state, all paths including those around the lake, and all recreation and playground equipment. The committee also is responsible for all snow removal, and organizes two community cleanups per year.
The Maintenance Chairman is Marshall Sutton.

Marketing Committee ~
The “youngest” of the committees, formed in 1994, the marketing group is dedicated to improving community property values, quality of life, and promoting Pinewood Lake to prospective home buyers. This committee coordinates closely with the Lee and Mount Vernon District Supervisors to ensure this community is integrated into Fairfax County policy decisions and projects to include the Richmond Highway expansion.
This fast-track group is chaired by Dick Knapp.

Muddy Hole Garden Club ~
The Club is organized to promote home gardening as well as the enhancement of our community. Our programs include Adopt-A-Flowerbed (Gardening Angels), street lamp pole banners, Plant-Plus flower sale in May, Wreath & Craft sale in November and the sale of Holiday and Note cards. Proceeds from these efforts are used to beautify the common grounds of our neighborhood. This club is not funded in the PLHA annual budget. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month with special programs scheduled, as they become available.
Club chairman is Steve Papanicolas, Secretary is Frank Holub.

Publications Committee ~                  The Pinewood Lake Needle
This committee is responsible for publishing the monthly newsletter, The Needle. It has assisted in publishing a directory of residents, and a Rules & Standards book containing the rules & regulations, covenants & by-laws, ACC and other standards applicable to the PLHA. Contributions (articles, letters, B & W photos, drawings, etc.) are always welcome. The Needle Editor position is currently open.  Shana Johnson is the Editor.

Security/Neighborhood Watch ~
The effectiveness of this program is highly dependent on neighbors reporting suspicious activities to law enforcement. Street Representatives (board members) monitor activities in their respective areas, and together with other volunteers, contract off-duty law enforcement personnel who augment routine police patrols in providing security to Pinewood Lake.  The chairperson is Robert Ford.
 
  Swimming Pool ~

Pool Pass Request Form
Swim Team Registration Form

The contracted pool management company supervises the daily operation of the community swimming pool through the pool manager, gate guards, and lifeguards. The management company, in coordination with PLHA, issues and regulates pool passes, and schedules and monitors the facility for private parties. Pool hours are 3:00 to 8:00 PM from its opening on Memorial Day until Fairfax County schools are out; then every day 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM until two weeks prior to closing on Labor Day, then 3:00 to 8:00 PM the final two weeks. The Acting Pool Committee chairs are Bev Card and Delna Clark.

Swim Team ~                        Pinewood Lake Porpoises
Pinewood Lake has had a swim team for more than 20 years, which competes in the Northern Virginia Swim League. The competitive swim season is June and July. Volunteers are required to officiate at swim meets. The community is looking for volunteers to carry a successful operation forward. Call the PLHA office, 703-360-6212, for information. Having a child on the team is NOT a requirement to be a volunteer.
