NEWS FROM THE BOARD 

I hope this finds everyone with kids doing great in school, if they need 

help, reach out on Nextdoor. We have had lots of parents who just went 

through what your kidddo is going through and can probably help you out. 

It’s almost Halloween. So, let’s be extra careful when driving that night. 

Since it is on a Thursday night, we usually start at dusk and go till 9 PM. 

Remember if the porch light is out don’t ring that doorbell. 

DON’T FORGET TO CALL INFRAMARK 281-504-1306 and tell them when 

you corrected you violations. 

Please watch out in the mornings and afternoons for our kiddos getting 

on and exiting the buses. Remember you cannot pass a stopped bus. No 

one cares how late you are, but everyone cares about our kids safety. 

The green bin by the basketball goal is for recyclables only. Basketball 

people when you finish your pizza put it in the trash can by the sidewalk. 

Our walk way is almost a mile long (.7433). Our new walkway has a few 

guidelines that go for our sidewalks as well: 

• If your backyard is next to the lake - please make sure your fence is 

secure, so your dogs cannot get out. 

• Walkers have the right of way. 

• NO motorbikes. 

• Please pick up after your doggies. 

We are not a golf course community, so no golf carts are allowed, 

especially on the sidewalks. 

If you want to drive one, it has to stay on the street and be street legal 

and driven by someone with a driver’s license, per Constable guidelines.

WEBSITE 

Our website has all the info you need: By-Laws, Deed Restrictions, 

Architectural guidelines and forms. These are all found at www. 

lakesideresidential.com. 

Our Mud 391 has a new website which will go online soon. 

Most of Deed Restrictions can be summed up into: 

• NO TRAILERS, COMMERCIAL VEHICLES of any type are allowed in the 

neighborhood. If it is your only vehicle and looks like a regular vehicle (no 

bucket, commercial supply boxes, ladder racks, ect.) - get magnetics to 

match the color of the vehicle to cover the wording each night. 

• Keep down the noise! Barking Dogs and loud music. 

• If you walk your dog, respect other folk’s yards, take along your “poopickup” 

bags and clean up the mess. 

• Speaking of yards, clean them up. Plant new and remove dead plants. 

Mow as needed to keep the neighborhood looking good. Trim your tree, 

4 


keep those lower branches trimmed to at least 10’ up. 

• Power wash that mildew off your house. 

• Vehicle and boat storage is not allowed on your lot, please have 

current registration stickers on all your vehicles. They are supposed to 

be driveable. The disabled cars parked in the driveway are in violation 

of HOA guidelines. Any disabled vehicle parked on the street is a county 

offense and should be reported to the Constable. 

• Inspect your fence for any missing or damaged fence pickets, we are 

required to maintain and replace pickets as they deteriorate. 

• Mow your lawn and edge the walks. 

• Trash bins are not to be visible from the street. Place them at curb the night 

before only on garbage pickup days and retrieve them on collection day by 

nightfall. Store them out of view like in the garage, backyard or behind a 

barrier on the side of your house - the front porch in not the right place. 

• When you order new cable or satellite service, remind the installer that 

you live in a HOA and there are restrictions, that dish has to be on the 

back of the house. All of the installers are aware of all restrictions and will 

gladly install correctly if they understand that you are concerned about 

your HOA and therefore your home value. 

• Door and or trim painting must be approved by via ARC, you can retrieve 

an ARC form through the lakesideresidential.com website. 

• DON’T DUMP ANYTHING DOWN THE STORM DRAINS - KEEPING THEM 

CLEAN HELPS US NOT TO FLOOD - IF YOUR CAUGHT IT IS A $5,000 FINE. 

• SLOW DOWN!!! This is a neighborhood! 30 MPH may be too fast. Give 

the kids time to load onto the bus and NEVER pass a bus with flashing red 

lights. The kids on the street are much more important than any excuse 

for fast and or reckless driving. Tell your teen drivers that you expect 

them to love and respect the neighborhood too. 

LOITERING AND VANDALISM: Please help us to keep our recreation 

areas safe and clean by reporting any and all loitering after dark 

directly to the Constable at 281-376-3472. Please also remember to 

report any suspicious persons walking around the community or at the 

parks immediately to the Constable Patrol. Don’t call the management 

company or HOA Director. Better safe than sorry! 

Well, we went through the deed restrictions, feel free to reach out if you 

have any questions. 

DEED RESTRICTIONS: If you want to build something check your plat 

map and make sure you are not picking a place on an easement and file 

and ARC form. Well, we went through the deed restrictions, feel free to 

reach out if you have any questions. When in doubt file an arc application.

CFISD’S CAMP SUMMIT EARNS 

DISTRICT OF DISTINCTION AWARD 

Camp Summit, a primary literacy program for kindergarten through 

second-grade students, was recently named a District of Distinction 

award winner by District Administration magazine. 

Camp Summit was established in 2014 and prioritizes prevention over 

remediation to address an observed decline in reading achievement. 

The camp helps any CFISD kindergarten, first- and second- grade student 

who lack reading readiness or struggle to keep pace. Students receive 23 

full days of instruction and all students get books to take home daily to 

practice their reading skills. 

“We are honored to be one of the 34 districts from across the country 

to receive the 2019 Districts of Distinction award for Camp Summit,” 

said LaTisha Bard, coordinator for primary curriculum. “This award 

6 

pays tribute to the hard work and dedication of our staff, administrators 

and Board of Trustees who have supported Camp Summit for the past 

six years. We look forward to continuing our work with our youngest 

learners to help them become more proficient and confident readers.” 

Based on 2018 enrollment data, 96 percent of students experienced 

no “summer slide” in reading levels and 84 percent of students 

demonstrated growth of one or more reading levels. 

“These districts have developed innovative programs to support 

students in their education and well beyond the classroom,” said JD 

Solomon, editorial director of District Administration magazine. “We 

hope our readers are inspired by the efforts of these honorees to create 

successful initiatives in their own districts.” 

Districts of Distinction was established by District Administration 

magazine to honor school districts that are leading the way with new 

ideas that solve challenges. Honorees are selected based on quantifiable 

results and the replicability of their initiatives. The July 2019 Districts 

of Distinction honorees were selected by the magazine’s editors from 

numerous nominations. To view a full list of the 2019 honorees, visit the 

District Administration magazine’s website.

Gardening Tips For October 

• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry 

in the shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control 

fungus. Store by hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose. 

• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going 

to stay cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants 

concentrate on root growth through the winter and the more headstart 

they can get before summer, the better. 

• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies. 

• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown 

patches are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. 

Control with Daconil. 

• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth 

stimulated by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of 

Halloween. Prune fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, 

weak and over-crowded growth. Tip back main branches to control size 

and shape. Spray w/dormant oil when temperature is between 30-60 

degrees. 

• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and 

transplant anytime from now until March, the earlier the better. 

• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations. 

• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with 

the post-emerge herbicides in October and November. At least two 

applications are usually needed, even if done this early. 

• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
