SBP "medium" 1BR

Appartantly we own something that is neither a small 1BR nor a large 1BR nor a shotgun but some other layout that I will hearby call a medium 1BR since Starwood tells me the sq ft is somewhere between the small & large 1BR units. Note the 17% reduction in MF.

I also have a small 1 bedroom at Sheraton Broadway Plantation that is apparently a different size from yours. I think this one has two full beds and the kitchenette. This may indeed be the small side of the lockoff, but I am unsure:

This is the "shotgun" I referred to above - the small 2BR and large 1BR connect to make the 2BR lock-off unit. Our 1BR is a stand alone, non-L/O unit. Enter into the Living area, walk thru to kitchen/dining and bedroom with balcony beyond - hence, 'shotgun'

Except when I asked Starwood if it was a shotgun, they said "no," it is some floor plan that is not available on the SVN website. The person I was speaking with definately got many other things wrong, maybe this too? Or maybe there is a non-small non-large non-shotgun layout as well?

The 640 sq. ft. stand-alone 1-br unit is called "Palmetto One-bedroom Interior Villa" on the mystarcentral.com web site.

Since it is not designated as a "shotgun" unit, perhaps you had the name of the unit wrong and she had it right?

Let's get back to only posting 2013 MFs here. Salty
 
Palmetto units' MF hasn't been released on MSC (at least not for me). So I don't think any of the units discussed above are from Palmetto. I also didn't think the original phase had 3 bedroom L/O units but maybe shotgun means something else.

So how many different maintenance fees and presumably different configurations are at SBP original phase- 3 or 4?

Should be five; 2 bedroom, 2 bedroom L/O, small (or deluxe) 1 bedroom half of L/O, and large (or premium) 1 bedroom half of L/O, and stand-alone one bedroom.

I inquired about this once as the fees weren't making sense to me vs. the descriptions on the website. Like SDO, 1/2 of lockoffs were sold (or at least the same size -- not sure if there are connecting doors) and the owners pay a premium, i.e., the two halves added together are charged more than a "whole" 2-BR lockoff.

Here's the scoop, from the initial documents:

Unit Type .......... # of Units .......... Unit Weeks .... % Interest

2-BR ......................168 ...................8568 ...............60.7%
1-BR ........................32 ...................1632 ................6.6%
Lockoffs ...................30 ....................1530 ...............13.6%
Prem 1-BR .................42 ....................2142 ...............12.3%
Delx 1-BR ..................42 ....................2142 ................6.7%

There's a "Com Unit" for those wondering about rounding (probably the lobby).

Total association expenses are multiplied by the corresponding percent interest by unit type to derive expense by unit ... then divided by the unit weeks. For example, if Repairs and Maintenance expense were $260,149, a 2-BR owner would be responsible for paying $260,149 X .607 /8568 = $18.43 per week.

I then asked them to "tie" the above "name descriptions" to the units as described on the website. See next post (have to change laptops ... battery dying!).

Note that the above was a copy and paste from their reply but I think they mixed up #4 and #5 since it stands to reason that the "number of units" would be the same ... which could also mean that they're billing us incorrectly! :ignore: I gave up at that point. My inquiry was in late 2009 ... So it would have concerned the 2010 fees.

So if the stand-alone SBP is a shotgun and the shotgun is the medium sized 1BR, it stands to reason that I do own a shotgun, even though Starwood told me I didn't.

Mr. H will be disappointed, he's more of a rifle guy than a shotgun guy :)
