A BIG Thanks to Spring Party 2018 Volunteers

The Watters Crossing Spring Party 2018 was a huge success. We had great weather and a great turnout. Your Spring Party is possible due to the many volunteers who helped plan, set-up, and work during the party, and clean up. We want to give a big THANKS to all those volunteers here for helping to make Watters Crossing a great neighborhood and a fun place to live.

• Christina Mackey and Brian Mackey for volunteering three hours in a hot clubhouse baking pretzels for the party.
• Lauren Kerrigan for working with the food truck reps months prior to the party so we had great food.
• Pete March for delivering pop, water, and kids drinks.
• Pete March and Doug Goclano for delivering six kegs of beer.
• Your Board, Michelle Massi, Mike Shisko, Mary Kuykendall, and Albert Ramos, for their support and for staffing the Welcome Booth for 3 hours.

Remember that Watters Crossing is a completely self-managed HOA. There is no management firm involved in your HOA. Volunteers are always needed and if you wish to volunteer, please contact secretary@watterscossing.com or acc@watterscrossing.com

These cannot be installed more than 90 days prior to the election date and must be removed within ten days of the election date.

Realtor Signs
A home is permitted one (1) For Sale sign no larger than five square feet. Realtor guidance on signing is shown in the Realtor link at www.watterscrossing.com Realtor signs and open house signs installed in the entrance monuments will be removed.

Yard Sale Signs
Signs for yard sales, yards, sales, etc. are never permitted within Watters Crossing. We urge homeowners to participate in one or more of the two annual Community Wide Yard Sales which your HOA schedules each year. In 2018, these sales are Saturday, May 5 and Saturday, September 22. All yard sale signs installed at other times will be removed.

Contractor Signs
Signs for all contractors, trades, etc, are never permitted within Watters Crossing and will be removed.

Tree Trimming

We urge all residents to ensure that any contractor they are hiring for tree trimming is reputable and knowledgeable in their trade. We continue to see trees that have been trimmed in a less than professional manner. Professionals:

• Will not leave stubs and stumps on a tree
• Will not “top” a tree
• Will not leave all limbs and debris for you to remove from the property

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.

Satellite Dish Installations Requiring ACC Review

Satellite dishes are popping up in Watters Crossing, many having not been reviewed and currently in violation of the Covenants. If you have a recently installed dish or a dish installed on 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.

The lead for Tool Time was recently taken over by Steven Kerrigan. Steven replaces Don Hill who has been a volunteer for Watters Crossing for years, most recently as Tool Time Leader.
