Do I own my unit?
Yes. The ownership is just the same as a residential condominium. You own the land and the building, fee simple.

Will there be monthly costs associated with my unit?
Yes there will be. Annual fees are $20.00 per month, per unit. The monthly fees would pay for landscaping, water, facilities maintenance and insurance. You will also have monthly costs associated with your individual electric usage. Part of this electrical bill will include common lighting and the security/cctv surveillance system electric usage.

What size units are available?
There will be two standard sizes available. All the units have a standard width of sixteen feet (16'),a standard height of fifteen feet (15') and all have door heights of thirteen feet (13'). The main variable is the length of each unit. Standard lengths are forty-five feet (45') and fifty feet (50'). Units can be combined to create a 32' x 50', 48 x 50', 64' x 50'units, etc. Units can also be combined end to end to create units up to 100' deep.

Can I combine two units together to create a larger one?
Yes. See the paragraph above. Units can be combined to create a 32' x 50', 48 x 50', 64' x 50'units, etc. Units can also be combined end to end to create units up to 100' deep.

Are there restrictions on my use of the unit?
Yes, there will be some restrictions. Noise levels, pollutants, fire hazards, outside storage etc. Frankly, nothing more than common sense items. As we develop the Bylaws and Declarations for the community and with the Township's approval, they will be posted here so you can view the restrictions and possible use limitations. Of course, before you actually purchase a unit, a complete legal version of the Bylaws and Declarations will be provided to you as required by law.

Will there be a dump station?
We expect to install a new dump station as part of the phased construction, with Township/County approval and Association(s).

Will there be a wash area?
We expect to install a wash area as part of the phased construction, with Township/County and Association(s) approval.

Who pays for the electricity in my unit?
Each unit will be individually electrically metered. When you buy your unit, you will then receive a monthly bill for usage. You only pay for electricity that you use, not what your neighbor uses and not a share of whole building!

Are unit sizes flexible?
Yes they are. We have designed the units so the dividing partitions can be removed so any two units, side by side can be combined. Also end to end units can be combined, creating a space as large as 16' x 100', with doors at either end, creating a "pull through".

How wide is the driveway between buildings?
We used the turning radius of a semi to figure that one out. As it turns out, 60' is optimum, we ended up adding a few feet just to make certain those with 5th wheels and 45' coaches will have ample maneuvering room. So, the width ended up at 65'. Buildings 'H' and 'L' have in excess of 80'! Building 'H' is SOLD OUT, but we still have units available in Building 'L'.

Can I live in my unit?
Without question, the answer is no. When we first approached Sharon Township with this project, one of their major concerns was people living in these units. There no doubt will be some sort of "Deed Restriction" placed on the property, by the Township, to prohibit living in a unit. The Bylaws and Declarations will echo that ruling as well.

Can I operate a business from my unit?
There is no single answer for this question. If you use these units as a business address, then probably not, since they are not designed as an industrial unit. If you would like to use the units to store items in connection with your business, then yes. Again there is no doubt that the Township will required some sort of "Deed Restrictions" to address this issue.

Can I work on my vehicle in my unit?
Yes, without question. In designing these units, I had that purpose in mind. If you live in a Condominium project or Single Family home development, there are typically stiff restrictions on using your garage for anything but parking a car in it. How nice, I thought, if I could create a space for people like myself, to go in and tinker with my car, boat, rv etc. One caution....don't even think about using the outside common area for a workshop. I will insist, as will the eventual Board of Directors, that all work be confined to the interior of your unit. The outside of this property will remain spotless and clean at all times.

Can I use my unit for a hobby/workshop?
Yes. That is one of the driving forces behind this project. However, there no doubt will be restrictions on noise, fumes, dust, etc. Really just common sense items, but they will be spelled out in great detail in the Bylaws and Declarations.

Will there by financing available?
There had better be, otherwise this project will never sell. We are working with local lenders who have expressed an interest in financing the units. We plan to offer 80% financing, with up to 90% if market conditions at the time allow for it. However, your best financing option is to use the equity in your home. That way, the interest portion of the loan could be tax deductable, and frankly, the rates will be better as well. As we get closer, we will post the lenders of choice on the web site so you can begin exploring your options.

Can I rent out my unit?
Yes. There are no restrictions in renting out your unit. There has been strong interest and proven success by investors who would like to purchase multiple units for just that purpose. Our onsite REALTOR® is available to assist you!

Will there be security?
Without question yes. Security is a top priority as far as we are concerned. We are certain there will be some valuable items stored in this community. Security cameras to cover all the common area, as well as at the entrance to the facility. All activity will be recorded on a DVR, as well as anyone entering or leaving the project. Each owner will have his or her own security access control proximity reader on each unit and one access card will be provided with each unit. Additional cards can be purchase for a nominal fee.

What are the dimensions of each unit?
All single units will be 16 feet wide and they will vary in length from 45 feet to 50 feet deep.

Are these units tall enough for an RV?
Yes. Our doors will have a clear height of 13'. No problem there.

Is there security in each unit?
If you would like individual alarm systems, no problem. Most security companies will install their systems at no charge, provided you pay for the monthly monitoring fees.

Can I access my unit 24 x 7?
Yes. Remember, you own this storage unit. You can access the property any time you wish, including holidays.

When will the units be built?
Our target for Phase 1, Building H is Summer 2007. Our target for Phase 2, Building L is Spring 2008. However, there are a multitude of regulations that have to be met, that could delay the construction date. We will try to keep you updated, via this website on a regular basis.
