Clubhouse deposit checks and payment checks, written as two checks, are to be deposited in this dropbox within seven (7) days of your making your reservation on the Clubhouse calendar. Reservations will not be approved from the calendar by the Clubhouse Coordinator if the deposit check and payment check have not been received during that time. As a reminder, the deposit is $200. Also, all checks must be imprinted with a valid Watters Crossing residents name and address. Further information on Clubhouse rentals is at the Clubhouse link at www.watterscrossing.com

Homeowner Trips, Requires 14 Stitches

Recently, a homeowner tripped on an uneven sidewalk while walking by someone’s home. It appears from the letters we receive that here is some confusion as to who is responsible for sidewalk maintenance. Sidewalk repair in front or on the side of your home is your responsibility:

• The sidewalk in front (or on the side) of your house parallel to the street is the responsibility of the homeowner. The City of Allen has a program where they will pay for 50% of the repair costs for heaving sidewalks.
• The sidewalk from the above sidewalk to your front door is the homeowner’s responsibility. Repair is 100% homeowner.

Slow Down!

Many articles have been posted here regarding speeding and the need to slow down. The photo shows what happened in a Watters Crossing alley the week of July 2. Again, please SLOW DOWN especially in alleys.

Cars, Trucks, Garages, and More

The ACC typically receives complaints, comments, and concerns regarding on-street parking. The Declaration of of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Watters Crossing permits on-street parking of licensed motor vehicles. Note that boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles may never be parked on any street within Watters Crossing unless actively loading or unloading.
With that said, we would ask all homeowners to be mindful of their neighbors:

• Avoid parking directly at an intersection, alley entrance, or stop sign which creates blind spots for turning drivers
• Avoid parking directly opposite another car on your street as it creates both blind spots and difficulty for passing vehicles
• Avoid, where possible, parking on Bel Air Drive; this street is heavily traveled by pedestrians (with kids and dogs) using the Hike and Bike trail. It also passes a number of areas of congestion including the Clubhouse, the Clubhouse Pool, the tennis court, three parks, and a school crossing.

We do appreciate everything homeowners do to help keep our neighbor attractive and safe to travel.

ACC Expedited Review of Replacement Roofs

Please be aware that all roof replacements must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) prior to work commencing. It is not necessary to wait until the next scheduled ACC meeting for review. Roof replacements are typically expedited by the ACC. Please utilize the Roof Replacement Form at www.watterscrossing.com for expediting a review. Note that roofs planned in the color "Weathered Wood" will be approved within two days. All other colors will require a color photo or link. The online forms permit the uploading of photos with plans.

All contractor yard signs are PROHIBITED by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Watters Crossing. The installation of such signs will result in cancellation of the approval of your project. Please instruct your contractor accordingly.
