Trees Damaged on West Side

The two trees shown below were planted about a year ago and are along Belt Line, between West Creek and West MC Drive.  I have noticed for maybe the past 3 months, limbs are being pulled or broken off these young trees and stuck into the ground. This is absolute vandalism of HOA property. I hope someone sees these kids and lets us know.

Those trees cost money and are not there for kids to destroy. They are there to make the property look nice.

Dogs on Common Property

We have been notifying residents for the past 4 years that they cannot let their dogs wander loose on our common property. All dogs must be on a leash and under your control whenever they are on common property.

We also have many dog owners who let their dogs defecate on common property and do not pick it up. I know other residents see this happen and we need you to take a stand and report these inconsiderate people to GP Animal Services. We have affidavits in the office that you can fill out and take to Animal Services.

If HOA personnel observe someone not picking up after their dog, we can fine you under Property Code 209.006 as a Health and Safety violation. We have spent a lot of money putting Pet Sanitation stations around the property; use them or be fined.

Satellite Dishes and Common Areas

We do not allow Satellite dishes installed on HOA common property.  Since I have been on the Board, I have only seen this maybe one other time, where a dish was mounted in common property, and when asked why they did it, I was asked “where else should we put it?”  Well, definitely not on HOA property, for sure.

The dish below is sitting on a mounting plate which is resting on the ground and held in place with 4 concrete blocks.

I followed the cable to see where it went, and that homeowner will be getting a letter. Why anyone, including a satellite installer, would believe this is acceptable is beyond me. The Declaration (CC&R) definitely prohibits this.

 

Water leak, West Side

We have a leak on the West side, in front of 31 West MC Drive.  It is in the general vicinity of a previous leak there. As we dug to see what was causing this leak, we found a water meter about 3 feet down; that’s an odd place to put a water meter.

So, the City is out repairing the meter leak, and will eventually raise it up to ground level.
