Watters Crossing Landscaping Update

Summer flowers are being planted this week at the following locations:

• Entrance monument islands
• Clubhouse grounds

The beds in each island along Bel Air Drive and on Westwood Court will not be planted with flowers for the summer.

This is due to water restrictions and the difficulty the HOA has had in the past with keeping flowers looking reasonably good in these islands. You may have noticed that these beds have been looking sad lately. They will all be renovated with new, drought tolerant plants, some flowering, in Fall 2012. This will refresh Bel Air Drive and provide permanent color without the needs for additional watering.

It should be noted that while we are budgeted to do this now, we have been advised by our landscaper to wait until fall. Even though we will install drought tolerant material, it must be given a good growing season to establish. We can all look forward to fresh beds along Bel Air Drive very soon.

Online Requests for ACC Review

One of the requirements of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restriction of Watters Crossing, is that all exterior improvements must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for review and approval prior to any work being done.  To ease and speed up the Review Process of the Architectural Control Committee, submission forms are now available online.  Now, in addition to using U. S. Mail, homeowners have the option of submitting review requests to the Watters Crossing ACC online.  Specific ACC review request forms have been made available for:

In addition to the six specific applications listed, there is a General Improvement submission form as well. All have the ability to upload plots, plans, photos, etc. This improvement will make it easier for homeowners to submit plans and also help the ACC in expediting reviews for such situations as roof damage, where a quick turnaround on review is necessary.

As noted, homeowners will continue to have the option to use U.S. Mail:

Watters Crossing Architectural Control Committee
P. O. Box 1336
Allen, TX  75013

All submissions are reviewed at the regular meetings of the ACC held on the last Tuesday of each month.

Visit the Architectural Control section of the web site where you will find the information above, along with other Architectural Control Guidelines and Documents.

A BIG THANKS to Lorie Plymale for her time and efforts in building the latest ACC online documents.  Lorie already contributes her time in maintaining the Watters Crossing web site at a very professional level.  Her work is greatly appreciated.
