Summer Activities<br />

Would you like to see additional activities in our neighborhood? We<br />

would love to have things for our families, but without assistance it is<br />

not possible. The Board of Directors’ members all have full time jobs or<br />

other family obligations that take up much of our time. We are an unpaid<br />

voluntary Board with the interest of <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> at heart. If you have<br />

ideas for neighborhood activities, get volunteers to help and present<br />

your ideas to the Board. We will back legitimate activities to unite our<br />

neighbors. There were several people at the annual meeting that advised<br />

they would assist in activities and/or serving in various capacities. We<br />

encourage you to step forward with your ideas and volunteers to assist.<br />

Deed Restrictions<br />

It’s unfortunate that something that should only involve common sense<br />

seems to be ignored. Sometimes it appears that the Board of Directors<br />

and/or Preferred Management Services are not paying attention to<br />

homes that are in disrepair. Please understand letters are sent every 30<br />

days. The third letter will be a registered letter. Each of these transactions<br />

cost us a small fee, which is then charged back to the homeowner. If<br />

the homeowner ignores the letters, our only recourse is to send it to<br />

the attorney for legal action. At that time, the charges start adding up<br />

quickly. All of these are charged back to the homeowner.<br />

Deed restrictions were registered by the developer, your Board of<br />

Directors is mandated to try to assure they are kept. They were created<br />

as an attempt to maintain continuity within the neighborhood. Without<br />

these standards, a home could be left in disrepair or abandoned and could<br />

become a plight to our neighborhood. At entrances to the neighborhood,<br />

there are signs declaring deed restrictions are strictly enforced and when<br />

you purchased the home you were given a copy of the deed restrictions.<br />

Please remember, this is a legal document in place to protect the value<br />

of your home.<br />

OFFICE SUITE FOR LEASE<br />

in Copperfield area<br />

If your home is not in good repair, it not only affects the value of it, but<br />

the surrounding homes. In order to maintain our values, it is mandatory<br />

that everyone make the necessary repairs, remove the mildew and/or<br />

paint as needed.<br />

Inoperable vehicles are to be repaired or removed. Covering them with<br />

covers or tarps does not change the fact that they are not in compliance<br />

with the deed restrictions. Motorized vehicles cannot be parked in the<br />

yard or on your porch.<br />

Includes 5-6 individual office spaces,<br />

kitchen, supply room, reception area, storage closet, bathrooms.<br />

Trash cans are to be stored out of sight. They should not be kept on your<br />

front porch or in front of the garage. Please abide by the deed restrictions<br />

and move them out of sight.<br />

Your yard should be properly maintained, grass kept cut and neat. It<br />

should be edged so that the grass does not grow over the sidewalk or<br />

over the curbs. When trees and shrubs are trimmed, the limbs must be<br />

bundled and tied in lengths that can be picked up by the trash company.<br />

Preferred Management handles most of the business transactions for<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> under the direction of your Board of Directors. If you<br />

don’t understand any correspondence from Preferred Management,<br />

please call for clarification. The homeowners association pays for<br />

all correspondence related to deed restrictions, therefore duplicate<br />

letters cost all of us additional fees. Do not ignore correspondence from<br />

Preferred Management!<br />

HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES<br />

As a homeowner you have certainly responsibilities. You are obligated to<br />

pay taxes and homeowners association fees. Often people assume that is<br />

the extent of their responsibilities.<br />

There were deed restrictions set forth by the developer of the subdivision<br />

with the intent of maintaining your home’s value.<br />

As many of us have realized recently, these responsibilities often seem<br />

to encroach on our ability to maintain our home in any manner we wish.<br />

However, these deed restrictions are registered with the county and your<br />

association has the obligation to remind us when they are not observed.<br />

Sidewalks are a topic that has been discussed a lot recently. In years<br />

past, the county had often repaired them. However, these are a part of<br />

the homeowner’s responsibility. This work is not the responsibility of<br />

Harris County or <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> HOA. Homeowners must have and must<br />

maintain the sidewalk on their property.<br />

If you do not have a copy of the deed restrictions for your section in<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong>, please contact Preferred Management Services and<br />

request a copy.<br />

PERIMETER HOMES<br />

The first impression of our neighborhood is the backs of homes facing<br />

W. Little York and Eldridge. Many of the homes that are on the perimeter<br />

of <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> are in terrible shape! This takes away from the homes<br />

that are maintained properly. It affects EVERY home in the subdivision.<br />

If your home is one that backs up to our perimeter fences, please take a<br />

look at your home. In many cases, the simple act of pressure washing the<br />

mildew and mold will make a considerable improvement. In some cases,<br />

these homes need paint and/or replacement siding. There are homes<br />

with vines growing on the chimney and siding missing. The management<br />

company will be making a special effort to note all of these homes and<br />

letters will be sent asking for repairs/cleaning to be done.<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> Services<br />

Services in <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> are provided by two different municipal utility<br />

the dividing line between the MUD district responsibilities. The two trash<br />

SCHEDULED day, NOT the next day. Please do not place your trash out<br />

VACATION WATCH<br />

Remember that our constables offer this valuable service. School is out<br />

and the kids are bored. They often are unsupervised and seek thrills in<br />

dangerous and malicious ways. If your home will be unoccupied while<br />

your family is enjoying a vacation, you can complete a vacation watch<br />

form and submit it to one of the officers patrolling in the neighborhood.<br />

There are other services available to local citizens. You can visit the<br />

appropriate website for additional information and to sign up for the<br />

available services. ~ www.constablepct5.com<br />

<strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong> Pets<br />

Have you lost a pet or found a dog or cat? You can contact the <strong>Concord</strong> <strong>Bridge</strong><br />

Pet Hotline at 281-468-9414 and on the Facebook account, www.facebook.<br />

com/#!/<strong>Concord</strong>bridgehotline. You can use this source to report lost and found<br />

animals. This has been a great help in returning lost and found animals to their<br />

owners. Even if you don’t have access to Facebook, you can call 281-468-9414. It<br />

is far more efficient than posting illegal signs all over the neighborhood. Another<br />

great source for finding a lost pet or reporting a rescued one is nextdoor.com/<br />

concordbridge. Harris County requires that all pets be on a leash or confined<br />

within your yard. Unleashed dogs are a nuisance to your neighbors and other<br />

pets. Please pick up all dog waste and dispose of it properly. Remember, our<br />

children play in the park areas and their yards. It’s very inconsiderate of you<br />

to allow your dog to defecate if others yards and the parks. When walking your<br />

dogs, please be prepared to remove any waste they may leave behind.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />

that allow them to:<br />

• Try new things.<br />

• Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence.<br />

• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as<br />

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility<br />

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made,<br />

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />

units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />

Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools<br />

including: Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley,<br />

Horne, Jowell, Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan,<br />

Tipps, Walker and Wilson.<br />

Other Community groups include: Autumn Creek Baptist Church,<br />

Beck and Masten Automotive, Cornerstone United Methodist Church,<br />

Copperfield Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

Village HOA, LDS Bear Creek and Copperfield Wards, Middlegate Village<br />

HOA, Peace Community Church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church<br />

and Thornton Middle School.<br />

ST. AIDAN’S SETS SUMMER VBS<br />

and the folks at St. Aidan’s have another great program planned. Scheduled<br />

year’s theme is ROAR: Life is wild. God is Good. We usually have Bahama<br />

Bucks on the last day. That is always a big treat for our students. And, last<br />

year, we hosted Wild Things Zoofari. They brought a wallaby, a toucan, a<br />

lemur and a hedgehog. Everyone really enjoyed that.” Cost of VBS is $30.<br />

Scholarships are available for families in-need. New for this year, we are<br />

adding Triumph Sports so our students will have a full-day option. From<br />

12-4 PM, Triumph will run a Bible-based sports camp. Participants will play<br />

dodgeball, kickball, capture the flag, basketball, soccer and more. Early<br />

registration for this afternoon session is $105 before June 1 st . After June 1 st ,<br />

Warm weather means our gardens and landscapes are growing fast.<br />

Here are some tasks to keep your landscape beautiful and productive:<br />

Flowers: Time to plant summer blooming perennials and annuals<br />

including plumbago, zinnias, angelonia, purslane, lobularia,<br />

sunflowers, yellow bells, pride of Barbados, duranta and bat-faced<br />

cuphea.<br />

Vegetables: <strong>May</strong> is a great time to plant, from seed or nursery plants,<br />

okra, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, winter squash, pumpkins, basil,<br />

peppers, lima beans, eggplant, garlic chives and Malabar greens. If<br />

you don’t want to dedicate an area of your yard, consider planting<br />

here and there in your flowerbeds. Edible landscaping is a popular<br />

new trend!<br />

Lawns: Water 1/2 to 1” of irrigation per week. A rain gauge or straight<br />

sided container (such as a tuna fish can) will help you know how long<br />

to run your irrigation system to apply 1/2”.<br />

Weeding: Hand pull or hoe weeds while they are still young or better<br />

yet, maintain a 3” layer of mulch in all vegetable and flowerbeds to<br />

deter weeds from getting a start.<br />

Pruning: Remove spent blooms on spring and summer annuals to<br />

promote new blooms.<br />

Fertilizing: Fertilize flowerbeds and vegetable gardens w/slow release<br />

organic fertilizer.<br />

Water: Deep soakings between rain events is better than frequent<br />

light sprinkling.<br />

Birds: Spring migration continues until mid-<strong>May</strong>. Clean bird feeders!<br />

Replace water in bird baths to avoid creating mosquito breeding<br />

spots.<br />
