The Declaration, Bylaws & Article Review Committee was formed in 2008 with the purpose of proposing amendments to the Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association's governing documents that would update these documents, accommodate technology changes, and include pertinent resolutions passed by the Board of Directors. These governing documents are comprised of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, the Bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation.

Also referred to as the Update Docs Committee, the committee members are Board Directors, volunteer homeowners, and Association staff members. The committee first met on October 28, 2008. Subsequent meetings have generally been held once a month on a Tuesday evening at 7P.M. at Tall Oaks Community Center. Meeting dates are announced in advance in the Lake Ridge Today newsletter, the Association website -- www.lakeridgeva.com, and on the marquee sign at the corner of Old Bridge Road and Oakwood Drive. Association homeowners are encouraged to attend committee meetings to participate in this ongoing process. 

Once the committee has agreed on a proposed revision, it is sent to the Board of Directors for review and subsequently posted on the Association's website, www.lakeridgeva.com  for homeowner comment and input. The Committee's proposed revisions to the Association's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions may be accessed by clicking on the following link: Proposed Amendments to LRPRA Declaration. If you would like to comment on one or more of the proposed governing document revisions, please send an e-mail message to .

Articles on the committee's progress are published in each issue of the Lake Ridge Today newsletter. Just click on the link: Declaration, Bylaws & Articles Review Committee newsletter articles to follow the committee's progress, or view individual newsletter issues posted on the Association's website under the "Newsletter" menu heading. The committee plans for the completion of the proposed governing document amendments in early 2012.  The committee's completed draft will then be posted to the website for further homeowner comments/inputs, and will be concurrently reviewed by our legal counsel.  Town Hall meetings are scheduled for March 27, June 26, September 25, and November 27, 2012.  These meetings will allow for discussion on the changes, rationale for the changes, and receipt of final input/recommendations from our homeowners.  Homeowners will then vote on the governing documents changes in 2013.
