Letter to Purchasers
Mogul Park, Inc. is a cooperative community of 35 families formed in 1968. Although the housing units are spread across 16.7 acres, ownership is basically the same as in apartment building or garden apartment coops elsewhere. A corporation owns the land, buildings and recreation facilities, and residents purchase shares and receive a proprietary lease for occupancy of an individual unit. Mogul Park is limited to personal residence use – no businesses or long term investment subletting is permitted.
A detailed description of the coop’s rules and requirements is presented in the Mogul Park Guide, which should be provided to all prospective purchasers by the seller/broker. Please read this over before your interview so you will be familiar with how we operate.
The coop is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of fellow residents elected by the members. While this keeps the cost of management down, Mogul Park depends on members’ offering skills and experience to help keep the business running, such as legal, accounting, construction, insurance, pool operation, tree care, etc.
Attached are an application form and authorization to obtain a credit report and background inquiry. Please fill out both forms completely and legibly and submit them to our transfer agent identified below. All people and pets who will occupy the unit must be identified in the application, which must be signed by each prospective owner/purchaser. Each owner and spouse must fill out and sign the credit report authorization form as well. Your non-refundable $500 check payable to Mogul Park, Inc. for the application fee should be mailed to our transfer agent with these forms. In addition, you must send $40 payable to Mogul Park, Inc. for the background check to our transfer agent. Also include a check payable to Mogul Park, Inc. for the credit report, which costs $50 for a married couple and/or $35 for each individual. Once this is received, the transfer agent will assist your loan processing with necessary forms and records. These fees are not refunded in the event your purchase does not close for any reason.
Once the Board receives a copy of your purchase contract, application, credit report authorization, application fee and credit report, an interview will be scheduled for you to meet with the Board. All adults who will be residing in the unit, whether purchasers or not, need to attend this interview. Please arrange for someone to babysit children under 14 so that the interview can be conducted in an expeditious and businesslike manner.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors

Casualty Insurance Policy
Mogul Park's $6 million Vermont Mutual Insurance policy covers fire/storm damage to the dwelling units, with a $1,000 deductible per claim (this uncovered amount is the responsibility of the unit owner, as are the personal property & contents). Because the coop unit numbers omit building 13 and the policy treats the duplexes as single structures, the structure numbers shown on the policy declarations pages do not match the unit numbers (but the street addresses are correct). In addition, we have a $5 million umbrella liability policy, Directors & Officers Liability, Fidelity Bond, Workers Compensation and Disability insurance coverage.

Original Offering Plan
Note, in the 40+ years since Mogul Park was converted to coop ownership, much has changed, rendering most of the information contained in the offering plan obsolete. For example, there is no longer any sponsor ownership or involvement in our management. Also, all of the units have been structurally modified in various ways, winterizing, expanding, and adding second floors to some. Also, ten of the original duplex units have since been merged, reducing the number of units from 40 to 35. The coop no longer supplies cooking fuel or water as a part of maintenance. The recreational facilities have been rebuilt since the coop was formed. However, many real estate attorneys and loan processors insist on receiving this document despite its VERY LIMITED relevance to modern conditions at Mogul Park, so it is made available with the foregoing caveats. Numerous schedules containing obsolete information having no current relevance have been omitted from the pdf document attached for downloading.
