Watters Crossing Amenities Remain Closed

Your WCHOA regrets to announce that due to a variety of critical factors, including procedural, legal, and economic factors, a difficult decision has been made for the community amenities (which include amenity buildings, swimming pools, and outdoor facilities such as playgrounds) to remain CLOSED until further notice*. Pursuant to executive orders by the Governor, and guidance offered by local authorities, legal counsel and insurance providers, severe restrictions have been imposed, and under the terms and guidelines of our liability insurance, opening of the community amenities during the current ongoing pandemic is not an option. In addition to regulatory mandates, and liability exposure for the WCHOA, it is simply not financially feasible within the constraints of our current budget. Just a few of the considerations going into this decision include required additional sanitization requirements, as well as the necessity to hire the services of a monitor to enforce occupancy limits, social distancing, and other unaffordable precautionary health measures. During this operational interruption, the expense of routine community amenity maintenance must continue along with maintenance on all other Association assets. The WCHOA Board will not entertain requests to refund or interrupt dues payments. The WCHOA Board will continue to monitor all issues contributing to this decision and communicate any updates to the Association members as soon as possible.

* The only exception to the closure is that the tennis court is open for residents only: no more than four residents on the court at one time and basketball is prohibited.

All recreational play equipment must be removed from front yards when not in use and located to a rear area not in view of the streets.

Architectural Control Process Changes Complete; Violations Now Managed by 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 violation responsibilities of the ACC to NMI Management. The transition to NMI is complete and homeowners should see very little difference. Read more…

Dogs, Dog Leashes, and Dog Poo

The WCHOA Board continues to receive complaints concerning dogs. We are asking for everyone with dogs to be aware and considerate of your neighbors. Read more…

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.
