Your Neighborhood Needs Your Help!
|
|
|
Watters Crossing is in immediate need of two volunteers to fill an important committee.
Architectural Control Committee Member
Members of the Architectral Control Committee (ACC) meet once per month, the last Tuesday. However, most work is completed via email. Members also have particular areas of the neighborhood for which they are responsible. While all Watters Crossing is volunteer, prospective members of the ACC are interviewed by the HOA Board as this is an appointed position.
If you want to help your neighborhood and are interested in this posiiton, please direct questions to acc@watterscrossing.com
|
Save Those Poolcards!
|
|
|
The Watters Crossing pools are now closed for the season. This is a reminder to retain your pool card for use in 2018.
New pool cards will NOT be issued next year. A replacement card cost $25.
Note that only one pool card is issued per address in Watters Crossing.

Is Your Sidewalk in Need of Repairs?
|
|
|
The ACC has received inquiries concerning sidewalk repairs. Sidewalk repair is generally a shared opportunity between the individual homeowner and the City of Allen:
- The sidewalk in front (or on the side) of your house parallel to the street is the responsibility of the homeowner with the City of Allen shairing the repair. Repair is
shared 50 / 50.
- The sidewalk from the above sidewalk to your front door is the homeowner’s responsibility. Repair is 100% homeowner.
The Sidewalk Repair Program is outlined at www.cityofallen.org We urge all homeowners who
may have tripping hazards in front of their homes to pursue the Sidewalk Repair Program with the
City.

Satellite Dish Installations Requiring ACC Review
|
|
|

a side roof, please read further information Click Here

Drivers on Bel Air Drive:Slow Down!
|
|
|
The WCHOA continues to receive complaints of speeding on Bel Air Drive. In some instances, specific cars and addresses have been indentified. We urge any homeowner who witnesses a
speeding incident, running a stop sign, etc to call the City of Allen Police non-emergency number, 214-509-4321
The HOA has communicated on several occasions with the City regarding this issue. Most recently, the mobile speed limit sign was located at the southern end of Bel Air Drive. Also in that
area, a survey was conducted of the speeds of all vehicles.
We would remind all that Bel Air Drive is not a highway, but a residential street with a 30 MPH speed limit. Traveling the length of Bel Air Drive will take you thru two stop signs, one traffic
signal, one city park, two private parks, two school zones and the Clubhouse. Along most of the length of Bel Air Drive is the hike and bike trail used by pedestrians, many with dogs and / or
children, and bikers.
We have a great neighborhood. Let’s remember all the others that are using Bel Air Drive, many on foot, and slow down. Bel Air Drive is a residential street, not a highway.
