Special Thank You for Volunteering!

As a volunteer, you help to support and promote an appreciation of your neighborhood. Each area of volunteer assistance is a vital part of the continuing operation of the WCHOA.

All of our volunteers generously donate their time and talents to assure the continued success of our Homeowners Association, and in turn keep our Association Fees low.

Neighborhood Reminders

The Watters Crossing Architectural Control Committee wishes to remind all homeowners of the following:

Tree Removal:  The removal of any trees from the front yard must be sent in to the ACC prior to this work being done.  This includes removal due to disease.  With no prior notice, several trees have been removed from front yards in Watters Crossing in the recent past.

The Covenants specify that one tree (live oak, red oak, or cedar elm) which is ten feet tall at time of planting must be in the front yard of each property.  There are a small number of homes where this requirement is being met by a large Bradford pear.  As these Bradford pears reach the end of their lives, their replacements must be in compliance with the Covenants regarding the tree type.

Tree Trimming:  Have your front yard trees grown to the point that they hang down over the sidewalk in the front of your property?  If so, please take steps to raise the canopies on these trees so that passersby may use the sidewalks.  Trimming will also permit more light to penetrate beneath the tree and help where grass may be thinning.

Yard Signs:  Contractor signs are NOT permitted at any time.  Yard / garage sale signs are never permitted and will be removed.  The WCHOA sponsors both a spring and fall yard sale.  If you are planning a yard sale, please join in with the community at those times and benefit from the increased traffic this event provides.

On Street Parking:  On street parking is permitted within Watters Crossing.  However, the ACC does receive complaints concerning the number of cars parked on streets; cars parked on both sides of the road; cars parked too close to stop signs.  These situations cause visibility issues and there is a great concern for the children here.  Please be considerate of your neighbors.  DO NOTE:

• No car can be parked in the street and covered as if in storage.
• Recreational vehicles, boats, watercraft, and trailers, can never be parked on the streets within Watters Crossing.
• Garages must be maintained to allow for the parking of the number of vehicles inside for which they were designed.  No boats, trailers, vehicles can be stored in the driveway in front of a garage door and prevent that bay from being used.

Plan Submission:  Please review the Review Procedures which are posted on this web site and are also shown in the newsletter.  Failure to submit plans prior to property improvements can delay your plans and, in some cases, result in a costly correction to your plans.  Please note that there is a photo/sample section on the web site devoted to the construction of new fences.
