Description. Preston at Park West is a condominium association Projecled Annual Replacements - C2
located in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Constructed beginning
around 2008 and completed around 2013, the community consists of 20
buildings containing 100 units. The buildings are of two types and have
combinations of from three to six units in each. The survey examined
the common elements of the property, including:

. Concrete driveways, sidewalks, and lead walks. Section D


. Retaining walls, privacy fencing, signage, and entry monument.
. Building exteriors including roofing and siding. Condition Assessment
Level of Service. This study has been performed as a Level 1 Full
Service Reserve Study as defined under the National Reserve Study
Standards that have been adopted by the Community Associations
lnstitute. As such, a complete inventory of components was established
for the commonly owned elements of this facility based on information
provided by the Community Manager or by quantities that were
developed from field measurement or takeoffs from to-scale drawings as Appendix
performed by the Analyst. The condition of each inventory component
was established by the Analyst, based on a visual inspection or review of Accounting Summary - CF1
provided historical data with a major repair or replacement cost for each Component Method - CM'l
also set. The included fund status and funding plan have been derived Overview, Standard Terms, and Definitions
from analysis of this inventory.
Video Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
To aid in the understanding of this report and its concepts and practices, on our web site, we have
developed videos addressing frequently asked topics. ln addition, there are posted links covering a
variety of subjects under the resources page of our web site at mdareserves.com.

Purpose. The purpose of this Replacement Reserve Study is to provide Preston at Park West
(hereinafter called the Association) with an inventory of the common community facilities and
infrastructure components that require periodic replacement. The Study includes a general view of the
condition of these items and an effective financial plan to fund projected periodic replacements.

r lnventory of ltems Owned by the Association. Section B lists the Projected Replacements of the
commonly owned items that require periodic replacement using funding from Replacement Reserves.
The Replacement Reserve lnventory also provides information about excluded items, which are items
whose replacements are not scheduled for funding from Replacement Reserves.

. Condition of ltems Owned by the Association. Section B includes our estimates of the normal
economic life and the remaining economic life for the projected replacements. Section C provides a
year-by-year listing of the projected replacements. Section D provides additional detail for items that
are unique or deserving of attention because of their condition or the manner in which they have been
treated in this study.

r Financial PIan. The Association has a fiduciary responsibility to protect the appearance, value, and
safety of the propedy and it is therefore essential the Association have a financial plan that provides
funding for the projected replacements. ln conformance with American lnstitute of Certified Public
Accountant guidelines, Section A, Replacement Reserve Analysis evaluates the current funding of
Replacement Reserves as reported by the Association and recommends annual funding of
Replacement Reserves by the Cash Flow Method. Section A, Replacement Reserve Analysis
includes graphic and tabular presentations of the Association's current funding and the recommended
funding based on the Cash Flow Method. An Executive Summary of these calculations is provided
on Page ,A1. The alternative Component Method of funding is provided in the Appendix.

Basis. The data contained in this Replacement Reserve Study is based upon the following:

r The Request for Proposal submitted and executed by the Association.

r Miller- Dodson performed a visual evaluation on May 24,2016 to determine a remaining useful life
and replacement cost for the commonly owned elements of this facility.

. This study contains additional recommendations to address inflation for the Cash Flow Method only.
For this recommendation, Miller - Dodson uses the Producers Price lndex (PPl), which gauges
inflation in manufacturing and construction. Please see page A5 for further details.

To-Scale Drawings. Site and building plans were not used in the development of this study. We
recommend the Association assemble and maintain a library of site and buildlng plans of the entire
facility. Record drawings should be scanned into an electronic format for safe storage and ease of
distribution. Upon request for a nominal fee, Miller - Dodson can provide scanning services.

Current Funding. This reserve study has been prepared for Fiscal Year 2017 covering the period from
January 1 , 2017 to December 31 , 201 7. The Replacement Reserves on deposlt as of January 1 , 2017
are projected to be $294,907.00. The planned contribution for the fiscal year is 953,000.00. The balance
and contribution figures have been supplied by the managing agent and confirmation or audit of these
figures is beyond the scope of the study. For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that the annual
contribution will be deposited at the end of each month.

Acknowledgement. Miller - Dodson Associates would like to acknowledge the assistance and input of
the Community Manager, Ms. Beverly Harne who provided very helpful insight into the current operations
of the property.
Analyst's Gredentials. Mr. Gary D. Freeman, AlA, CCS, NCARB holds a Bachelor's Degree in

UPDATING
UPDATING OF THE FUNDING PLAN
comparison
The Association has a responsibility to review the Funding Plan annually. The review should include a
and evaluation of actual reserve funding with recommended levels shown on Page 44 and A5. The Proiected
Replacements listed on Page C2 should be compared with any replacements accomplished and funded from
Replacement Reserves. Discrepancies should be evaluated and if necessary, the Reserve Study should be updated
or a new study commissioned. We recommend annual increases in replacement reserve funding to account for the
impact of inflation. lnflation Adjusted Funding is dlscussed on Page A5.
UPDATING OF THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE STUDY
At a minimum, the Replacement Reserve Study should be professionally updated every three to five years or after
completion of a major replacement project. Updating should also be considered if during the annual review of the
Funding plan, discrepancies are noted between projected and actual reserve funding or replacement costs. Updating
may also be necessary if there is a meaningful discrepancy between the actual inflation rate and the inflation rate
used for the lnflation Adjusted Funding of Replacement Reserves on Page A5.
ANNUAL EXPENDITURES AND CURRENT FUNDING
The annual expenditures that comprise the $3,632,763 of Projected Expenditures over the 40-year Study Period and
the impact of the Association continuing to fund Replacement Reserves at the current level are detailed in Table 3.

EVALUATION OF CURRENT FUNDING


The evaluation of Current Funding (Starting Balance of $294,907 & annual funding of $53,000), is done in today's
dollars with no adjustments for inflation or interest earned on Repiacement Reserves. The evaluation assumes
Replacement Reserves will only be used for the 54 Projected Replacements identified in the Replacement Reserve
lnventory and that the Association will continue Annual Funding of $53,000 throughout the 40-year Study Period.
Annual Funding of $53,000 is approximately 62 percent of the $85,721 recommended Annual Funding calculated
by the Cash Flow Method for 2017, the Study Year.
Evaluation of the 54 Projected Replacements calculates an average annual expenditure over the next 40 years
of $90,819. Annual funding of $53,000 is 58 percent of the average annual expenditure.
Our calculations identify funding shortfalls in 4 years of the Study Period with the initial shortfall in 2053. The
largest shortfall, $-1 ,217,856, occurs in 0. All shortfalls can be seen and evaluated in Table 3 above.
ln summary, Current Fundlng as reported by the Association and shown above, does not provide adequate funding for
the $3,632,763 of Projected Replacements scheduled in the Replacement Reserve lnventory overthe Study Period.

The inflation adjusted funding calculations outlined above are not intended to be a substitute for periodic evaluation
of common elements by an experienced Reserve Analyst. lndustry Standards, lender requirements, and many state
and local statutes reguire a Replacement Reserve Study be professionally updated every 3 to 5 years.
INFLATION ADJUSTMENT
Prior to approving a budget based upon the 2018, 2019 and 2020 inflation adjusted funding calculations above,
the 4.50 percent base rate of inflation used in our calculations should be compared to rates published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. lf there is a significant discrepancy (over 1 percent), contact Miller Dodson + Associates prior to
using the lnflation Adjusted Funding.
INTEREST ON RESERVES
The recommended funding calculations do not account for interest earned on Replacement Reserves.
ln 2017, based on a 1 .00 percent interest rate, we estimate the Association may earn $3,238 on an average balance
of $323,799, $3,977 on an average balance of $397,708 in 2018, and $4,900 on $490,013 in 2019. The
Association may elect to attribute 100 percent of the earned interest to Reserves, resulting in a reduction in the 2017
funding from $85,721 to $82,483 (a 3.78 percent reduction), $90,035 to $86,058 in 2018 (a 4.42 percent

REPLACEMENT RESERVE INVENTORY
GENERAL INFORMATION
Preston at Park West - Replacement Reserve lnventory identifies 110 items. Two types of items are
identified, Projected Replacements and Excluded ltems:

o PROJECTED REPLACEMENTS. 54 of the items are Projected Replacements and the periodic
replacements of these items are scheduled for funding from Replacement Reserves. The Projected Replacements
have an estimated one-time replacement cost of $2,817,826. Replacements totaling $3,632,763 are scheduled
in the Replacement Reserve lnventory over the 4}'year Study Period.
Projected Replacements are the replacement of commonly-owned physical assets that require periodic
replacement and whose replacement is to be funded from Replacement Reserves.
. EXCLUDED ITEMS. 56 of the items are Excluded ltems, and expenditures for these items are NOT
scheduled for tunding from Replacement Reserves. The accuracy of the calculations made in the Replacement
Reserve Analysis is dependent on expenditures NOT being made for Excluded ltems. The Excluded ltems
are listed in the Replacement Reserve lnventory to identify specific items and categories of items that
are not to be funded from Replacement Reserves. There are multiple categories of items that are typically
excluded from funding by Replacement Reserves, including but not limited to:
Tax Code. The United States Tax Code grants very favorable tax status to Replacement Reserves, conditioned
on expenditures being made within certain guidelines. These guidelines typically exclude maintenance
activities, minor repairs and capital improvements.
Value. ltems with a replacement cost of less that $1,000 and/or a normal economic life of less than 3 years
are typically excluded from funding from Replacement Reserves. This exclusion should reflect Association
policy on the administration of Replacement Reserves. lf the Association has selected an altemative level,
it will be noted in the Replacement Reserue lnventory - General Comments on Page 82.
Long-lived ltems. ltems that when properly maintained, can be assumed to have a life equal to the property
as a whole, are typically excluded from the Replacement Reserve lnventory.
Unit improvements. ltems owned by a single unit and where the items serve a single unit are generally
assumed to be the responsibility of that unit, not the Association.
Oiher non-common improvements. ltems owned by the local government, public and private utility companies,
the United States Postal Service, Master Associations, state and local highway authorities, etc., may be
installed on property that is owned by the Association. These types of items are generally not the
responsibility of the Association and are excluded from the Replacement Reserve lnventory.
The rationale for the exclusion of an item from funding by Replacement Reserves is discussed in more detail in
the'Comments' sections of the Section B - Replacement Reserve lnventory.
I CATEGORIES. The 1'10 items included in the Preston at Park West Replacement Reserve lnventory
are divided into 12 major categories. Each category is printed on a separate page, Pages 83 to 813.
. LEVEL OF SERVICE. This Replacernent Reserve lnventory has been developed in compliance with the standards
established for a Level One Study - Full Service, as defined by the National Reserve Study
Standards, established in 1998 by Community Associations lnstitute, which states:

A Level I - Full Seruice Reserue Study includes the computation of complete component inventory
infarmation regarding commonly owned components provided by the Association, quantities
deived from field measurements and/or quantity takeoffs from to-seale engineeing drawings that
may be made available. The condition of all componenfs is asceftained from a visual inspection
of each component by the analyst. The remaining economic life and the value of the components
are provided based on these obseruations and the funding slatus and funding plan are then
derived from analysis of this data.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE INVENTORY - GENERAL INFORMATION (cont'd)

. INVENTORY DATA. Each of the 54 Projected Replacements listed in the Replacement Reserve lnventory
includes the following data:
Item Number. The ltem Number is assigned sequentially and is intended for identification purposes only.
Item Description. We have identified each item included in the lnventory. Additional information may be
included in the Comments section at the bottom of each page of the lnventory.
Units. We have used standard abbreviations to identify the number of units including SF-square feet,
LF-lineal feet, SY-squareyard, LS-lump sum, EA-each, and PR-pair. Non-standard abbreviations are
noted in the Comments section at the bottom of the page.
Number of Units. The methods used to develop the quantities are discussed in "Level of Service" above.
Unit Replacement Cost. We use four sources to develop the unit cost data shown in the lnventory; actual
replacement cost data provided by the client, information provided by local contractors and suppliers,
industry standard estimating manuals, and a cost database we have developed based upon our detailed
interviews with contractors and service providers who are specialists in their respective lines of work.
Normal Economic Life (Yrs). The number of years that a new and properly installed item should be
expected to remain in service.
Remaining Economic Life (Yrs). The estimated number of years before an item will need to be
replaced. ln "normal" conditions, this could be calculated by subtracting the age of the item from the
Normal Economic Life of the item, but only rarely do physical assets age "normally". Some items
may have longer or shorter lives depending on many factors such as environment, initial quality of the
item, maintenance, etc.
Total Replacement Cost. This is calculated by multiplying the Unit Replacement Cost by the Number of Units
Each of the 56 Excluded ltems includes the ltem Description, Units, and Number of Units. Many of the
Excluded ltems are listed as a 'Lump Sum' with a quantity of 1. For the Excluded ltems, this indicates that
all of the items identified by the 'ltem Description' are excluded from funding by Replacement Reserves.

. REVIEW OF EXPENDITURES. This Replacement Reserve Study should be reviewed by an accounting


professional representing the Association prior to implementation.

. PARTIAL FUNDING. ltems may have been included in the Replacement Reserve lnventory at less than
100 percent of their full quantity and/or replacement cost. This is done on items that will never be replaced
in their entirety, but which may require periodic replacements over an extended period of time. The assumptions
that provide ihe basis for any partial funding are noted in the Comments section.

. REMAINING ECONOMIC LIFE GREATER THAN 40 YEARS. The calculations do not include funding for initial
replacements beyond 40 years. These replacements are included in this Study for tracking and evaluation. They
should be included for funding in future Studies, when they enter the 4A-year window.

a Comprehensive drawings detailing the components of the systems listed above were not available for our review. We
have included the estimated cost of the systems based upon our experience with other similar communities. We have
assumed that 10 percenl of the system(s) will require replacement. ln the future, this assumption and the estimated costs
should be adjusted based upon actual experience at the community.

PROJECTED ANNUAL REPLACEMENTS


GENERAL INFORMATION
CALENDAR OF ANNUAL REPLACEMENTS. The 54 Projected Replacements in the Preston at Park West
Replacement Reserve lnventory whose replacement is scheduled to be funded from Replacement Reserves are
broken down on a year-by-year basis, beginning on Page C2.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE ANALYSIS AND INVENTORY


POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND ADMINISTRATION
e REVISIONS. Revisions will be made to the Replacement Reserve Analysis and Replacement Reserve lnventory
in accordance with the written instructions of the Board of Directors. No additional charge is incurred for the
first revision, if requested in writing within three months of the date of the Replacement Reserve Study. lt is our
policy to provide revisions in electronic (Adobe PDF) format only.

. TAX CODE. The United States Tax Code grants favorable tax status to a common interest development (ClD)
meeting certain guidelines for their Replacement Reserve. lf a CID files their taxes as a'Corporation' on
Form 1120 (lRC Section 277), these guidelines typically require maintenance activities, partial replacements,
mlnor replacements, capital improvements, and one-time only replacements to be excluded from Reserves.
A CID cannot co-mingle planning for maintenance activities with capital replacement activities in the Reserves
(Revenue Ruling 75-370). Funds for maintenance actlvities and capital replacements activities must be held in
separate accounts. lf a CID files taxes as an "Exempt Homeowners Association" using Form 1 120H (lRC
Section 528), the CID does not have to segregate these activities. However, because the CID may elect to
change their method of filing from year to year within the Study Period, we advise using the more restrictive
approach. We further recommend that the CID consult with their Accountant and consider creating separate
and independent accounts and reserves for large maintenance items, such as painting.
o CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Neither Miller - Dodson Associates nor the Reserve Analyst has any prior or existing
relationship with this Association which would represent a real or perceived conflict of interest.
. RELIANCE ON DATA PROVIDED BY THE CLIENT. lnformation provided by an official representative of the
Association regarding financial, physical conditions, quality, or historical issues is deemed reliable.

a INTENT. This Replacement Reserve Study is a reflection of the information provided by the Association and the
visual evaluations of the Analyst. lt has been prepared for the sole use of the Association and is not for the
purpose of performing an audit, quality/forensic analyses, or background checks of historical records.

. PREVIOUS REPLACEMENTS lnformation provided to Miller - Dodson Associates regarding prior replacements
is considered to be accurate and reliable. Our visual evaluation is not a project audit or quality inspection.

. EXPERIENCE WITH FUTURE REPLACEMENTS. The Calendar of Annual Projected Reptacements, lists
replacements we have projected to occur over the next thirty years, begins on Page C2. Actual experience in
replacing the items may differ significantly from the cost estimates and time frames shown because of conditions
beyond our control. These differences may be caused by maintenance practices, inflation, variations in pricing
and market conditions, future technological developments, regulatory actions, acts of God, and luck. Some
items may function normally during our visual evaluation and then fail without notice.

REVIEW OF THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE STUDY. For this study to be effective, it should be reviewed by
' the Preston at Park West Board of Directors, those responsible for the management of the items
included in the Replacement Reserve lnventory, and the accounting professionals employed by the Association.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT
General Comments. Miller - Dodson Associates conducted a Reserve Study at Preston at Park West in May
2016. Preston at Park West is in generally good condition for a community constructed beginning around
2008. A review of the Replacement Reserve lnventory will show that we are anticipating most of the
components achieving their normal economic llves.

The following comments pertain to the larger, more significant components in the Replacement Reserve
lnventory and to those items that are unique or deserving of attention because of their condition or the manner
in which they have been treated in the Replacement Reserve Analysis or lnventory.

General Condition Statements.

Excellent. 100% to 90% of Normal Economic Life expected, with no appreciable wear or defects.

Good. 90% to 60% of Normal Economic Life expected, minor wear or cosmetic defects found. Normal
maintenance should be expected. lf performed properly, normal maintenance may increase the useful life of a
component. Otherwise, the component is wearing normally.

Fair. 607o to 30% of Normal Economic Life expected, moderate wear with defects found. Repair actions
should be taken to extend the life of the component or to correct repairable defects and distress. Othenryise,
the component is wearing normally.

Marginal. 30% to 11o/o al Normal Economic Life expected, with moderate to significant wear or distress
found. Repair actions are expected to be cost effective for localized issues, but normal wear and use are
evident. The component is reaching the end of the Normal Economic Life.

Paar. lAYo to Oo/o of Normal Economic Life expected, with signif;cant distress and wear. Left unattended,
additional damage to underlying structures is likely to occur. Further maintenance is unlikely to be cost
effective.

SITE COMPONENTS

Entry Monument and Signage. The Association maintains an entry monument off Park West Boulevard.
The monument is made of brick masonry and a synthetic material signage. lt is in good condition.

We recommend repointing and replacement of defective areas of the masonry as needed. Due to the size of
the sign and the limited amount of masonry, we have not included any funding for replacement of the masonry
element. We have modeled for replacement of the signage within the monument periodically. The Association
may want to consider applying a coat of Siloxane or other appropriate breathable sealant to mitigate water

penetration and further degradation of the masonry work. For additional information, please see the
appropriate links on our web site at http:i/mdareserves.com/resourQes/links/building-exterior.

ln addition to the monuments, the Association is responsible for the community's signage including stop,
speed, streel, and other major signs. Other small miscellaneous signs are not considered in this study and
should be replaced using other funds.

Concrete Work. The concrete work includes the community sidewalks, leadwalks, and driveways. All of the
concrete work appears to be in good condition.

The standards we use for recommending replacement are as follows:

. Trip hazard, Yz inch height difference.


. Severe cracking.
. Severe spalling and scale.
o Uneven riser heights on steps.
r Steps with risers in excess of 8% inches.

Because it is highly unlikely that all of the concrete components will fail and require replacement in the period
of the study, we have programmed funds for the replacement of these inventories and spread the funds over
an extended timeframe to reflect the incremental nature of this work.

maintenance, and repair. Please see http:/lmdareserves.com/resourcesllinks/site-components.

Retaining Walls. The Association maintains a wood retaining wall behind one of the buildings. The retaining
wall is reported to be in poor condition. A study is underuuay to determine the exact repairs that will be
required. For this study, we have assumed that the entire wall will be rebuilt.

Retaining walls In general are designed to provide slope stabilization and soil retention by means of a
structural system. Typically, walls that are three feet high or more require some level of design.

Movement and displacement of any retaining wall is a sign of general settlement or failure. This typically is in
the form of leaning and bowing, and can involve the entire wall or localized sections of the wall. Typically,
these types of movements are gradual and may require the replacement of the wall. Movement of retaining
walls located near other buildings or structures may negatively affect the stability of the adjacent structure.
These conditions can become extremely costly if not properly identified, monitored, and addressed.

Wood retaining walls will experience rot and decay over time and partial replacement of defective wooden
members is ofien possible in the early stages of decay. Eventually however, these walls will require
replacement. Wood retaining walls can have a useful life of 25 to 35 years.

When and if it becomes necessary to replace these walls, we recommend the Association consider one of the
segmental block retaining wall systems. These systems are very low maintenance. lf over time the wall
experiences movement, sections of the walls can be re-stacked at a very small portion of the cost of a new
wall. Segmental block retaining walls can have a service life of 80 years or more. As a general source of
information about retaining walls, we offer several links from our website at
http://mdareserves. conr/resources/links/site-components.

Retaining wall replacement can be costly, and early planning on the part of the Association can help to reduce
the impact of this work on the community's budget in the future. We therefore recommend having a
Professional Engineer inspect the walls and develop preliminary replacement alternatives and
recommendations based on the site conditions, replacement costs, and recommended replacement wall types.
This information can then be incorporated into future updates to the Reserve Study.

Mailboxes. The cluster mailboxes located in the community


are in good condition. Mailboxes should be maintained to the
extent that rust does not develop on the structure or pedestal.
All mail slot doors remain intact and hinges and locks remain
operable.

Storm Water Pond. The community is served by a storm water pond.

Ponds wili accumulate silt and over time and lose the ability to store storm water at design levels, which could
result in overflows and minor local flooding. ln addltion, water quality can be negatively affected by increased
siltation and debris accumulation. Accordingly, ponds require periodic dredging.

Estimates of cost and the frequency of dredging ponds are a function of many variables, including the volume
of the pond, the siltation rate, the nature of the material being removed, the method of removal, and the haul
distance to a site that will accept the spoil material. Most of this information is unknown and must be assumed
for the purpose of reserve study planning. The sittation rate and cost of periodic dredging are speculative,
varying greatly depending on local conditions.

As a rule of thumb, dredging should be performed when approximately one-third of the volume of the pond has
been filled with silt. ln the absence of accurate information about the original depth of the pond and the local
siltation rate, we have assumed that it will be necessary to remove one cubic yard of material over a third of
the pond area every 20 years. We have assumed that the material being removed is free of heavy metals and
hydrocarbons, and that it wlll be accepted as fill at a local landfill. A more accurate prediction of cost and
cycles will require a hydrologic analysis and testing, which is beyond the scope of our study.

Because of ihe significant cost of this work, it is recommended that the Association underiake studies to refine
the assumptions of this study.

Based on our understanding, we recommend the following:

. Perlodically remove accumulated debris and vegetation growing in the ponds.


. SurveY the ponds to establish the current profile of the bottom. Afterfive years of operation, have the
pond re-surveyed to establish new depths to determine the local siltation rate. This will establish the
frequency required for periodic dredging.
