Architectural Control Process in Transition to NMI
|
|
|
The Watters Crossing HOA has been most fortunate thru the years in having
many volunteers to step up and fill openings on the Architectural Control
Committee. Since turnover from the developer in 1998, the five spots have
continually been filled. Recent events; however, including an ever-increasing
ACC workload and members being confronted and threatened, have resulted in
the decision of the Board to contract the responsibilities of the ACC to NMI
Management. We expect the transition process to be completed during the
month of November and that homeowners should see very little difference.
Architectural Control Review Process and Procedures
Homeowners will continue to go to www.watterscrossing.com and to the
Architectural Control Committee link for all ACC information.
Project Reviews: All forms at the website remain the same at this time.
Homeowners will complete and submit a Project Review form for all exterior work
as has been done in the past. Reviews will be facilitated by NMI and final
approval (or non-approval) will be completed by a smaller ACC committee.
Communications to homeowners will be via email from NMI and includes
approvals and rejections of submitted projects. Posting of projects reviewed by
the ACC will no longer be published on the Watters Crossing website.
Violations: Review of the 692 homes of Watters Crossing for compliance with
the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions will be completed on
a regular schedule by NMI associates. All resulting notices and communications
will be completed by NMI and all communications to homeowners regarding
violations will be from NMI. ACC members will not be involved in the violation
process.
NMI is the same company the HOA Board selected to manage the WCHOA
Financials in early 2019. In assuming the ACC process for Watters Crossing,
NMI will continue the long history of maintaining the high standards of Watters
Crossing which contributes to making it such a great and desirable neighborhood
in which to live. The budget impact of outsourcing the ACC functions to NMI is
$13,200 per year. Further information on this change and its impact on the
annual assessment will be published later in November.

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.
Finally, while the Covenants permit on-street parking, Section 4.4 does restrict garage usage to parking of motor vehicles:
Section 4.4 Garage Required. Each Residence shall have a two-car garage conforming with then-applicable City zoning ordinances and codes,
and the garage must conform in design and materials with the main structure of the Residence. No garage shall be converted to living space
or used in any manner so as to preclude the parking of two automobiles therein, except for temporary usage as part of the sales facilities
contained in any model homes constructed by a home builder.
Your Car Called and Wants its Garage Back.
Two car garages cannot be adapted to other usages, such as storage, an exercise area, or
permanent workshop. They must be maintained to hold two vehicles. Any usage that prevents
the usage as intended of holding two vehicles is a violation of the Covenants.
We do appreciate everything homeowners do to help keep our neighbor attractive and safe to travel.
