Enjoy Our Outdoor Spaces Safely
There’s nothing like outdoor grilling. It’s one of the most
popular ways to cook food. But, a grill placed too close to
anything that can burn is a fire hazard. They also can be very
hot causing burn injuries. Parkfairfax’s dense canopy of trees
and woodlands need to be considered when grilling. Please
follow the simple tips below and you will be your way to safe
grilling.
SAFETY TIPS
• Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outside
• The grill should be placed at least 15 feet away from the
building and out from any overhanging branches.
• Check for leaks using a light soap and water solution. Apply
this solution to your hose and connections and a leak will
release bubbles. If you detect a leak, turn off the gas valve.
The same goes if the grill will not light. If by chance the leak
does not stop, clear away from the grill and call the fire
department.
• Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the
grill area.
New Access System and Cards
Management sent out an RFP to several companies and after
reviewing these we have decided on ADT-Tyco as our new
provider. This system is Cloud based meaning that it be
backed up automatically off site. We have completed the
installation of the new panels and will now begin the process
of issuing new ID Cards to the entire community. We
understand that this is a large undertaking but it will make
the property more secure and give us greater flexibility in
operating and controlling the system. Please come by the
management office at 3360 Gunston Road to receive your
new cards. Owners, please remember to have your renters
bring a current copy of their lease if they are planning on
getting a card(s).
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup
from the grills and in the trays below the grill.
• Never leave your grill unattended.
• Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.
CHARCOAL GRILLS
• There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to use.
Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal
using newspaper as fuel.
• If you use lighter fluid, use only ones that are approved for
charcoal. Never add fluid or any other liquids to the fire.
• Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away
from heat sources.
• Use can also use electric charcoal starts, but be sure you are
using an outdoor rated extension cord.
• When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool
before disposing in a metal container. Never use a paper or
plastic bag.

Covenants Corner
In order to allow our residents to continue to live harmoniously in this beautiful neighborhood the Association would
like to remind residents:
PET OWNERS:
• All dogs and cats must be leashed when outside. No
matter how adorable and cuddly they may be, or well
behaved. Even if your pet is trained to heal and always stay
at your side it is still unlawful to have them outside
unleashed. Shirlington has a wonderful dog park just
around the corner to give your Dog all the exercise they
crave and need. There are also several others nearby. And
don’t forget to always pick up after your pet.
Employee of the Quarter
Parkfairfax held its annual Employee Luncheon on Friday,
April 24, 2015. During the luncheon we were pleased to
announce the two employees of the quarter.
Duane Knight not only celebrated his 25 year anniversary as
part of the maintenance crew here at Parkfairfax but was also
titled employee of the quarter for his hard work and dedication.
Ed Davis joined the Parkfairfax maintenance crew in
September 2014 and has demonstrated his willingness and
ability to get the job done.
Please join us in congratulating both of these Parkfairfax
employees on a job well done.
PARKING RIGHTS:
There are two types of parking areas in Parkfairfax:
Association controlled and City of Alexandria controlled.
• Association controlled parking areas are located in common elements (a) on streets with names ending in “Lane’’
(including Holmes Lane, Lyons Lane, Fitzgerald Lane, and
Coryell Lane), (b) in cul-de-sac parking lots between
building, and (c) in the Association parking Jot on Valley
Drive, maintenance yard parking Jot, Martha Custis Pool
parking lot and building 401 parking lot.
• Parkfairfax residents are entitled to use available Association controlled parking areas. The Bylaws permit only one
vehicle per residence to park on the common element
parking spaces at any given time. The parking area, is on a
first-come-first-serve basis. An approved vehicle shall be
defined as any conventional passenger vehicle, motorcycle,
van, truck, or commercial vehicle less than six feet in
width and 18 feet in length. Vehicles must be parked so as
not to block ingress and egress to the sidewalks, parking
lot, or roadway.
• Residents and guests may park on City of Alexandria
controlled parking areas along the curb of all other streets
in Parkfairfax. Use of the City of Alexandria controlled
parking spaces are detailed in Alexandria City Code and
careful attention should be paid to Code Section 10-4-8
(No parking on city streets for more than 72 continuous
hours) and Section - I 0-4-37 (Penalties for failure to

Busy times at Parkfairfax
With the recent opening of the pools I wanted to thank our
dedicated staff in the annual preparation prior to opening.
Our pools are just one of our many amenities here and I
think everyone should know what goes into getting them
ready each season.
Please remember that although the staff works diligently to
correct any problems, we still appreciate that you, the
residents, in calling in any issues or problems you may
encounter to the office (703) 998-6315.
We are looking forward to a great summer season and hope

TERRY RADER
SELLING AND RENTING PARKFAIRFAX
Setting the Gold Standard of Real Estate
“Mister Rader did a spectacular job from start to finish. He was on top of every detail
through closing. He went far beyond his professional responsibility”.
During my over forty years working in the real estate sales and mortgage banking industries, I
have worked with literally thousands of real estate agents; some professional some not. I have
bought and sold many properties over the years. I did not think it was possible to have a smooth
and painless transaction, until we found Terry Rader, the best I have ever encountered.
The property we just sold and closed on is located in Alexandria. It had been a rental property for
thirty years with very little maintenance. We were expecting a long and tedious ordeal. Terry
recommended a contractor to refurbish the unit who did a great job at a good price. We agreed on
a listing price but when Terry saw the results of the work, he thought we should list it for five
thousand more. Having researched comparable sales in the community, I was a little skeptical of
raising the price. Since increased asking price would not provide him a significant increase in
commission it was obvious he was just looking out for his client.
The property sold in two weeks. Many sellers think that a quick sale indicates that the list price
was too low. This is just not true. Property priced correctly should sell fast whereas an overpriced
property will frequently linger on the market and ultimately sell for less than it should have.
Mister Rader did a spectacular job from start to finish. He was on top of every detail through
closing. He went far beyond his professional responsibility. I am now retired and playing golf in
Florida. My only motivation for taking the time to write this testimonial is to recognize a level of
excellence I haven’t seen before. Thank you Terry! You definitely are the Gold Standard in real
estate sales.
