POOL CARDS<br />

HOME IMPROVEMENTS AND TREE TRIMMING<br />
While we all love home improvements, please be sure to obtain<br />
approval prior to beginning. A complete list of the deed restrictions<br />
can be found on the website, as well as through FirstService Residential.<br />
These items are mand<strong>at</strong>ory, meaning all residents must<br />
abide by them. Things such as landscaping, painting or staining,<br />
adding iron driveway fences, mailboxes, storm doors and additions<br />
such as sheds, g<strong>at</strong>es or pergolas are on the list. The architectural<br />
committee enforces deed restrictions <strong>at</strong> all times and it is taken very<br />
seriously. Forms for ARC Committee approval are on the website.<br />
Some simple things th<strong>at</strong> help keep our neighborhood beautiful are:<br />
• Keeping your grass cut regularly, bushes trimmed and beds free<br />
of weeds<br />
• Keeping tree limbs trimmed high enough so th<strong>at</strong> people walking<br />
do not get hurt and street signs can be easily seen. Please be aware<br />
th<strong>at</strong> you are responsible for the condition of your tree branches<br />
and are the responsible party if someone gets hurt while on your<br />
property.<br />
• Replacing dead shrubbery - required along street facing fencing<br />
• Keeping fences stained with the approved colors: Behr Exterior<br />
Wood Stain in Terra Cotta (DP-396), Cappuccino Solid (DP-529) and<br />
Valise Solid (SC-123).<br />
Please note th<strong>at</strong> FirstService Residential will be sending letters<br />
to residents th<strong>at</strong> are non-compliant. These deed restrictions are<br />
mand<strong>at</strong>ory, not a choice! By complying with the guidelines, we<br />
maintain a consistently beautiful neighborhood. Plus, it helps<br />
property values!<br />
Please take a look <strong>at</strong> your trees to determine if they need <strong>at</strong>tention.<br />
There are many companies available (various companies advertise<br />
in this newsletter) to trim trees in order to make it safer for everyone<br />
out and about in VLP.<br />
VLP SAFETY TIPS: DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR<br />
FOR SOLICITORS<br />
Officer Glentzer shares the following valuable inform<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
regarding safety:<br />
• DO NOT OPEN your DOOR for solicitors. As a community we should<br />
not encourage them by opening our doors. If a solicitor refuses to<br />
get off your property, please call 911 immedi<strong>at</strong>ely to report them.<br />
• Promply collect your packages when they are delivered, as thieves<br />
are more than ready to take parcels left on doorsteps.<br />
• When shopping or stopping <strong>at</strong> the bank, be aware of your<br />
surroundings and ALWAYS lock your car.<br />
Home safety tips:<br />
• Activ<strong>at</strong>e your alarm when leaving<br />
• Lock all windows and doors before leaving<br />
• Place a lock on your backyard g<strong>at</strong>e so would be burglars<br />
do not have access to your backyard<br />
• Check into upd<strong>at</strong>ing and upgrading your alarm system<br />
and installing glass break sensors and test system for accuracy<br />
• Place alarm signs/stickers in visible places<br />
• Make sure each of your vehicles has a VLP sticker displayed<br />
(stickers can be obtained <strong>at</strong> monthly Board meetings)<br />
• Remove all valuables and always lock vehicles<br />
• Get to know your neighbors and become familiar with their<br />
vehicles - notice cars th<strong>at</strong> seem suspicious<br />
• Call 713-221-6000 with non-emergency issues and 911<br />
with emergencies<br />
• Let our very own Deputy Glentzer (713-471-1882) know if you will<br />
be away so he can keep an eye on your home<br />
To obtain an alarm permit, please contact Harris County Alarm Detail<br />
<strong>at</strong> 713-755-4600 or visit www.hcso.hctx.net.<br />
NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES ON THE GREENBELT<br />
Please note th<strong>at</strong> motorized vehicles, including 4 wheelers and dirt<br />
bikes, should be not used on the greenbelt areas. This is a common<br />
area for all residents to enjoy and safety is an issue.<br />
