FROM YOUR HOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
Please take a moment to visit the neighborhood’s new website located<br />
at www.settlersvillagehoa.com. The Board is very interested in any<br />
and all feedback.<br />
There will be signs posted at the park/pool shortly to give all interested<br />
parties notification that the area is being monitored via surveillance<br />
cameras.<br />
Please also remember the rules regarding personal sign postings.<br />
Because your HOA is now responsible for the upkeep of sign and light<br />
poles, placing of private signs of any type onto county owned sign poles<br />
or Centerpoint owned light poles is expressly prohibited. Please do not<br />
subject yourself to the embarrassment of having your signs removed<br />
by the HOA or receiving a ticket from the sheriff who now patrols the<br />
district. The HOA can now levy civil fines related to the costs of clean-up.<br />
Lastly, a quick reminder that Steve Breard has volunteered to continue<br />
collecting aluminum cans for the neighborhood with all proceeds going<br />
to the capital improvement fund for our pool. In 2012 we collected $306<br />
and $177 in 2013. However, we only collected $114 in 2014 and $65 in<br />
2015, a pretty significant decrease. For 2016 we collected $42. Please<br />
rinse and bag the cans to minimize the attraction to bugs. They can be<br />
dropped at 6642 Cove Lake Drive.<br />
Board continues to note a number of properties having to be referred<br />
for legal action because the owners/renters are not performing regular<br />
maintenance. Please remember that not only are you contractually<br />
obligated to maintain the property in which you live, it is also an<br />
obligation to your neighbors. So take the time to mow and edge your<br />
yard. Trim back the trees and bushes (which can also hide would-be<br />
burglars). Keep your fence in repair and the house painted as needed.<br />
If your sidewalk or drive-way needs repair, get it done before someone<br />
gets hurt and sends you a lawsuit for your inattention. Residents should<br />
be aware that the HOA fronts the legal expenses for deed restriction<br />
enforcement. But the Board does come back to the property owner for<br />
reimbursement of those costs including an assortment of administrative<br />
fees. It can get really expensive really fast. Please also be aware that<br />
trailers, boats, RVs must either be stored out of sight on your property.<br />
The actual by-laws require them to be stored outside of <strong>Settlers</strong> <strong>Village</strong><br />
but inside a closed garage or in the backyard as long as they are below<br />
the fence line and out of sight is also accepted. Covering an item with<br />
a tarp is not acceptable.<br />
YARD OF THE MONTH<br />
<strong>Settlers</strong> <strong>Village</strong> wants to promote great yards. From May through<br />
October, the Board will make a once a month selection of the neighborhood’s<br />
best looking yard. Each month’s top winner will be awarded<br />
a $100 gift card. Board members and their families will not be eligible.<br />
RESIDENTS OF HARRIS COUNTY MUD 105<br />
Best Trash picks up your trash on Tuesday and Friday. Your recycle<br />
collection day will be Friday. Please have trash and recyclables out to<br />
the curb by 7 AM.<br />
On each regularly scheduled collection day, Best Trash will collect<br />
residential refuse at the curbside.<br />
Trees, shrubs, brush trimmings and fencing must be bundled in lengths<br />
no greater than 4 feet with no branch diameter larger than 4 inches<br />
and bundles weighing no more than 40 lbs. The bundling is required to<br />
allow quick pickup and size limitations are required to avoid damage<br />
to the compacting equipment.<br />
Heavy/bulky items (appliances, furniture, carpet up to 1 room rolled<br />
up 4 ft. wide and weighing less than 50 lbs) will be picked up either<br />
collection day. By Federal Law, refrigerators, freezers or any other item<br />
