ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW<br />

As promised, we will now be including parts of the Architectural Design<br />

Review in the Monthly Newsletter to keep our residents more aware of<br />

them. Following are the rules for Submission of an Application.<br />

The Committee shall consider the following factors upon the review of<br />

each application for an exterior change, addition or improvement:<br />

Premium Pre-Cut Fir & Spruce Also Available<br />

Open Daily After Thanksgiving 9 AM - 5:30 PM<br />

1. The quality of construction and materials, colors, exterior design<br />

(elevations) size (dimensions) and location, all of which must be<br />

harmonious with existing and other proposed structures.<br />

2. The location must not violate the building set back lines, utility or<br />

drainage easements as shown on the official recorded plat or any other<br />

provisions of the Declatration.<br />

Note: The Committee may not grant permission to place an improvement<br />

upon or across any utility easement; consent to encroach upon any utility<br />

easement must be obtained in writing from the owner of the easement<br />

(i.e., utility companies).<br />

3. Improvements other than the main residence and garage may not<br />

exceed eight (8) feet in height (except as otherwise provided by the<br />

Declaration of Guidelines).<br />

4. Improvements which exceed two (2) feet in height may not be located<br />

closer to the front lot boundary line that the front of the main residence or<br />

garage (except as otherwise provided by the Declaration or Guidelines).<br />

5. Improvements which are intended for other than single-family<br />

residential purposes or which may become any annoyance or nuisance<br />

to the neighborhood are not permitted.<br />

6. Improvements must be located so that their use will not infringe upon<br />

the enjoyment of neighboring amenities nor place neighboring property<br />

at increased risk of damage.<br />

I-45<br />

The Committee may also consider the provisions of the Declaration and of<br />

applicable statues, ordinances and building codes. However, approval of<br />

an application shall not be construed as a warranty or representation by<br />

the Committee that the change, addition or improvement, as proposed<br />

or as built, complies with any or all applicable statues ordinances or<br />

building codes or as a warranty or representation by the Committee of<br />

the fitness, design or adequacy of the proposed construction.<br />

For additional detail concerning the Application Procedures and<br />

General Guidelines, please visit www.townsquare.nabrnetwork.com.<br />

An application for Requesting Home Improvement Approval can also be<br />

found there.<br />

HOWDY NEIGHBOR! IMPORTANT NOTE:<br />

Thank you to those who have cleaned your bronze street number plate<br />

on your home exterior. PLEASE make sure your house number is visible<br />

from the street. You might need to lower the shrubs that are blocking the<br />

visibility of your house numbers. Or polish/clean the plate. This is very<br />

important because in the event an emergency vehicle needs to find you<br />

and can’t, it might be critical in time lost.<br />

RESIDENTS:<br />

It has come to our attention that many residents are leaving their<br />

grass clippings and shrub clippings out on the curb for days before the<br />

assigned trash pickup. Our trash days are on Monday and Thursday.<br />

Either change your scheduled yard mowing to coordinate with the trash<br />

days OR remove the grass and tree trimmings to the back of your fence<br />

or in your garage until the evening before trash pick-ups. It is a deed<br />

violation to leave your grass clippings or tree branches out days early.<br />

DON’T SWEEP OR BLOW GRASS CLIPPINGS INTO THE STREET GUTTERS.<br />

It clogs our drainage system.<br />

DEED RESTRICTION INFORMATION:<br />

1. Maintenance of fences: Pickets, rails or bars that are broken or peeling<br />

paint, warped, bent, sagging or which have otherwise deteriorated must<br />

be promptly repaired or replaced.<br />

2. Landscape Lighting: Exterior landscape lights shall be permitted with<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA -<br />

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. • Provide service to others.<br />

• Build self-confidence. • 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<br />

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

Houston Area Counsel - <strong>Copper</strong>head District which includes 23 Cub Scout<br />

Packs (boys 5 to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old)<br />

and 10 Venturing units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically<br />

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 />

<strong>Copper</strong>field Church, Crossbridge Church, Cy-Fair Kiwanis Club, Deerfield<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 609<br />

Boy Scout Troop 609 is a specialized for Boys with high functioning<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorders. They meet at the Westview School on the 1 st<br />

and 3 rd Saturday of the month from 9:30-11:30 AM.<br />

BOY SCOUT TROOP 838<br />

Troop 838 is a small pack located near Hwy 6 and West Road at the<br />

Crossbridges Church. We are between the <strong>Copper</strong>field and Aberdeen<br />

neighborhoods. Being a smaller troop allows us to be flexible and address<br />

the needs of our scouts more nimbly. We currently have boys from ages 11<br />

to 17 within our group working to make Eagle. We try to camp monthly,<br />

with a wide variety of locations on our agenda. The different locations are<br />

chosen by the senior boys to more directly meet our training needs and<br />

to keep expenses low. In fact, we have some of the lowest expenses in the<br />

area. Our adult leaders are all experienced with years of scouting under<br />

their belt per individual. We also work closely with several local packs of<br />

cub scouts and participate in civic duties around the area as well. Please<br />

contact us at TROOP838CYPRESS.ORG or 414-331-3321.<br />

TROOP 1865<br />

Troop 1865 runs a diverse program of outdoor and service activities,<br />

with events selected by the scouts themselves. We meet Mondays at 6:30<br />

PM, at the <strong>Copper</strong>field HOA building on Willow River and Hwy 6, behind<br />

Labay. We’ve gone backpacking through the National Forest, rappelling<br />

off Enchanted Rock, Survival camping, boating, canoeing and anything<br />

else the scouts can dream up. We do high-adventure camping at<br />

Philmont and Seabase. Our advancement program has enabled scout to<br />

achieve the coveted rank of Eagle Scout at 10 times the national average<br />

rate. We see scouting as a practice run on adult life. Scouts learn about<br />

leadership and teamwork through having to work together in the field.<br />

We learn about responsibility through fund-raising activities that have<br />

allowed the entire troop to pay for their own summer camp each year.<br />

CUB SCOUT PACK 2<br />

We are an active year round pack for Kindergarten-5 th grade that focuses on life<br />

skills, teamwork, leadership and FUN! Cub Scout activities include camping,<br />

fishing, pinewood derby, hiking and much more! During the school year we meet<br />

on the 3 rd Monday of each month at 7 PM at Birkes Elementary in the cafeteria.<br />

Contact me for more information and to find out what exciting activities we have<br />

planned for summer! Ame Lane-281-740-5020, ame.lane@yahoo.com.<br />

61 at 7 PM Wednesday nights at Peace Community Church, 5151 Addicks<br />

Satsuma Road, Houston, Texas, 77084. They will get a hands-on experience<br />

of what Scouting has to offer and have the opportunity to visit with the<br />

Scouts and their adult leaders to learn more about the things the troop has<br />

done during meetings and activities. Scouting activities include camping,<br />

fishing, archery, rifle/shotgun shooting, hiking, first aid, wilderness survival,<br />

community service, citizenship, swimming, leadership, white-water rafting<br />

and much more. Troop 61 camps each month and has a group that goes to<br />

High Adventure Camp and to Merit Badge Camps each summer. Meet 7 to<br />

8 PM every Wednesday in the Activity Room at Peace Community Church.<br />

year-round outdoor program. We camp monthly and include rock climbing,<br />

backpacking and canoeing. Troop 3 also participates in a weeklong winter<br />

HOUSTON MAYOR AND HOUSTON AUDUBON<br />

EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCE THE BIRD OF HOUSTON<br />

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner alongside Houston Audubon’s Executive<br />

Director, Helen Drummond, proclaimed the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron<br />

as the official Bird of Houston. In an effort to increase awareness of the<br />

birds around us, Houston Audubon coordinated the Bird of Houston<br />

contest, where Houstonians voted on their favorite local bird through a<br />

series of bracket rounds. Over 60 bird species were originally nominated,<br />

leading to the final round, which pitted the Attwater’s Prairie-Chicken<br />

against the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron.<br />

Houston’s location on the central flyway is a vital stopover for migratory<br />

birds and a welcoming, year-round, home to our resident bird. Not<br />

only do birds need our city to thrive, but Houston needs a healthy bird<br />

population. Birds are essential to human welfare thanks to the many<br />

ecosystem services they provide, from pollination and pest-control, to<br />

clean-up and seed dispersal. A representative Bird of Houston is just the<br />

thing to connect our residents to their avian neighbors.<br />

The Bird of Houston announcement coincides with Houston Bird<br />

Week celebration from September 21 st until September 28 th , in honor<br />

of Houston Audubon’s 50 th anniversary. Houston Audubon’s Young<br />

Professionals Advisory Council in collaboration with local conservation<br />

partners have created educational, fun and celebratory events across the<br />

Houston metro area for the whole family. To view the calendar of events,<br />

Gardening Tips For <strong>November</strong><br />

• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as nights get cooler and humidity and rain continue. Discolored circles will appear in low<br />

areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide recommended for brown patch according to label directions. Avoid walking through brown-patched turf.<br />

It spreads easily from the bottom of your shoes. If brown patch appears in the same lawn areas every year, add an inch or two of sandy topsoil to<br />

eliminate those low spots.<br />

• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote root growth over the winter months. Lower your lawn mover blades now and mow<br />

on a schedule that cuts no more than one-third of the grass blade away.<br />

• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut flowering stalks to the ground to permit all strength to be used in making root growth.<br />

• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not prune now. Keep up spraying program and water deeply.<br />

• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects and disease organisms. Thin out and transfer volunteer seedlings. Beds made now<br />

will benefit by weathering before being planted. If soil is heavy, dig six inches deep, leave rough, cover with gymsum and strawy manure, water and<br />

allow to mellow.<br />

• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die back in winter. Cut banana stalks back to six feet, wrap with newspaper and burlap.<br />

• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to protect roots from freezing and winter drying. Don’t throw away those pine tree needles;<br />

they make great acidic mulch for azaleas, gardenias and next Spring’s impatiens.<br />

• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled. Use a little blood meat mixed in soil under each plant.<br />

• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.<br />
