The <strong>Colonies</strong> News<br />
BRADFORD COLONY 1 & 2 BRADFORD COLONY SECTION 3<br />
(BC1&2) NEWS FROM THE BOARD<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! The Board wishes our residents a happy and<br />
healthy new year!<br />
DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
If you do not have a copy of our deed restrictions, please register your<br />
home in TownSq and you will be able to download a complete copy<br />
from the “Documents” tab.<br />
We really enjoy seeing a lot of the homes in our community decorated<br />
for the holidays. However, one of the restrictions is that you will<br />
have to take down these decorations in <strong>January</strong>. Christmas lights,<br />
decorations, etc… should not be left at the street view side of your<br />
homes after <strong>January</strong>. We are not strict as far as setting an exact date<br />
you must remove them, but after <strong>January</strong>, they should have been<br />
removed, if not, you may receive violation letter. We know each of s<br />
really want to be good neighbors and good community partners, so<br />
please adhere to the restrictions set in our by-laws.<br />
ASSESSMENT<br />
As a reminder, annual assessment is due on <strong>January</strong> 1 st of every year<br />
and late fees + interest will be added to your balance if payment is<br />
not posted to your account by 1/31/<strong>2022</strong>. The payment will have to<br />
be received by PMG’s processing center and posted to your account<br />
on or before 1/31/<strong>2022</strong> to avoid late fees and interest, not the postmark<br />
date you mail it or date you make an electronic payment since<br />
it take time for processing. So please mail you payment early to allow<br />
time for processing. Taking the payment physically to PMG DOES NOT<br />
expedite the process because PMG does not process the payments in<br />
their office that day, they simply mail it for you.<br />
The assessment is due even if you do not receive an invoice in mail.<br />
The invoice will be mailed sometime in early December. Not getting<br />
the bill in mail does not mean you don’t have to pay. Board thanks all<br />
those homeowners who have always paid timely and correct amount.<br />
In the past some small payment differences were written-off s if they<br />
are only a few days late but we will stop doing this as it is unfair to<br />
others who pay on time and pay correct dues amount. So please be<br />
aware that if you do not allow time for payment processing, a late fee +<br />
interest will be applied to your account every month until it is paid off.<br />
If you are new to our community, you may not know that our annual<br />
assessment DOES NOT include fees for using the community pool. If<br />
you are interested in using the community pool, you may register with<br />
the management company that manages the pool and pay the extra<br />
fee to use the facility. The open house/registration is usually held in<br />
April or May every year. The management company information can<br />
be found in the “Contact List” on the page of this newsletter.<br />
MONTHLY MEETING<br />
Our monthly meeting is always scheduled on 2 nd Tuesday at 7 PM. The<br />
meetings are still expected to be a conference call instead of face-toface<br />
meeting. Meeting information can always be found in our TownSq<br />
app. If you have not registered for an account in TownSq, it is easy and<br />
it can be downloaded as an app to your phone simply using your email<br />
and property account number assigned by PMG (it can also be found<br />
on your assessment bill) or you can contact PMG to obtain it. The next<br />
meetings will be held on 1/11/<strong>2022</strong>, 2/8/<strong>2022</strong> and 3/8/<strong>2022</strong>.<br />

GARAGE SALES<br />
At present, there are no plans to have a neighborhood wide garage<br />
sale for BCS3 this year. But the Bylaws allow for individual residents<br />
to have up to four garage sales per year.<br />
If you are interested in having your own garage sale, please contact<br />
any Board member to let them know you are planning to do this.<br />
Thank you for your cooperation as to this issue.<br />
CONTACT THE BOARD<br />
As is the case with everything in our small neighborhood, every<br />
resident should feel free to contact any Board member as to any issue<br />
or question that you have about BCS3. Contact information for all the<br />
Board members is located inside of this publication.<br />
CHARLESTOWN COLONY<br />
(CHC) NOTES FROM THE BOARD<br />
Happy New Year and MLK Day!<br />
LET’S KICK OFF THE NEW YEAR WITH AN<br />
AMAZING LOOKING NEIGHBORHOOD!<br />
As many may have noticed, the management company has been<br />
completing forced improvements in our subdivision. This is expensive<br />
for the homeowner. Be advised, our deed restrictions are being fully<br />
enforced. If the homeowner fails to maintain their property, the<br />
management company will do it on your behalf and it will cost a lot<br />
more than had it been completed on the homeowner’s own volition.<br />
The Park has a no parking zone along the street along Charlestown<br />
Colony Drive. This is to protect our loved ones. If cars continue to<br />
park along Charlestown Colony Drive in the “no parking zone,” Harris<br />
County Sheriff’s Office now could ticket or tow the vehicle at the<br />
owner’s expense.<br />
The deadline for HOA dues is quickly approaching, please do not<br />
forget to avoid paying late penalties.<br />
COMMUNICATIONS<br />
Charlestown Colony is under new management. If you receive a<br />
deed violation letter, please work quickly to resolve any home repair<br />
issues. The new management company will be enforcing our deed<br />
restrictions to the fullest extent allowed on a consistent basis. For<br />
questions, comments and concerns regarding the community, please<br />
reach out to our community manager.<br />

Due to the lack of advertising within the colonies, Charlestown Colony had to<br />
reduce the amount of articles published in the newsletter. Please see the back<br />

ANNUAL HOA DUES<br />
Thank you to all who have paid your HOA dues! If HOA dues have not been paid<br />
yet, expect a certified letter with penalties. In order to avoid additional costs<br />
and fees, there are several options to make HOA payments. As of February<br />
1 st , unpaid annual dues are considered delinquent and subject to late fees<br />
and penalties. Our management company has new policies and procedures<br />
in place to collect on past due HOA assessments. If these have not been paid<br />
yet, please make every effort to pay or make a payment arrangement. The<br />
Board worked diligently to maintain our HOA dues although the neighborhood<br />
incurred additional expenses caused by the Artic Blast. There are several<br />
payment options available.<br />
CHARLESTOWN COLONY PARK:<br />
PLEASE CONTACT THE BOARD OR<br />
INFRAMARK IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION.<br />
Our community park is enjoyed by many of the residents and their family<br />
members! Especially, now as we are starting to turn the COVID 19 corner. It<br />
has bounced back since the days of Hurricane Harvey! Let’s keep it looking<br />
amazing! There have been reports of trash and debris in the park where the<br />
trashcans were overflowing which is an eye sore for the residents living around<br />
the park. Please remember to pick up after ourselves. If you are using the park’s<br />
trash can as a personal trash bin, please stop it and use your own trash cans.<br />
PARKED CARS ON STREETS CLOSE STOP<br />
SIGNS, COMMERCIAL VEHICLES & TRAILERS<br />
• We are still seeing cars parked on the street close to<br />
stop signs which becomes very dangerous for drivers to<br />
maneuver around oncoming traffic. Please park cars safely<br />
on the streets to avoid accidents. We love our residents and<br />
do not want to see anyone injured.<br />
• There are several community parking areas around the<br />
park and patio homes in the front of our subdivision. Please<br />
do not park there longer necessary. Please be cognizant of<br />
our neighbors. If you haven’t seen tow signs already, these<br />
will be posted soon. Cars parked in Charlestown Colony<br />
community parking spots longer than necessary will be<br />
towed at the owner’s expense.<br />
• It is a violation of our deed restrictions to park commercial<br />
vehicles, trailers, etc. in public view for an excessive amount<br />
of time. The number of hours these vehicles can be parked<br />
on the street is limited. Please refer to our deed restrictions.<br />
Harris County will be conducting a traffic study in our area to<br />
determine where street tow signs will be posted.<br />
OUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS<br />
There have been several complaints about dogs not being<br />
on a leash when being walked and pet owners not picking up<br />
after their animal does their “business.” Please be mindful and<br />
respectful of our neighbors and common areas such as the park<br />
and pick up after your pets. There continues to be a noticeable<br />
number of lost and found pets posted on the Nextdoor Ap.<br />
Please secure the furry family members by replacing broken<br />
fencing or other measures of security for our loving pets.<br />
HOME RENOVATION PROJECTS:<br />
It has been over 4 years since Harvey devastated Houston<br />
and for those who are still working on repairs, please<br />
be conscious of our deed restrictions. The Architectural<br />
Review form is required to complete exterior projects such<br />

as replacing fences, exterior painting and pretty much any other<br />
exterior project attached to the home that can be viewed from the<br />
street. The Architectural form can be obtained from Inframark. We<br />
have all endured a lot due to the blast and Hurricane Harvey and have<br />
probably filled out enough forms over the last few arctic months to<br />
last a lifetime. However, this form is just another step in the renovation<br />
process and keeping the project on track. Our deed restrictions have<br />
these forms in place to maintain the appearance of Charlestown<br />
Colony. If exterior projects are completed without consent, the<br />
homeowner could be subject to make changes such as re-painting<br />
the house all over again which is costly and time consuming. Most of<br />
the Architectural Review forms can be processed within 10 business<br />
days, but it could take up to 30 days. If it is urgent, please indicate that<br />
on the form and include a phone number. Inframark may be able to<br />
offer a verbal, “yes” to get the project started while the form is being<br />
processed. https://inframarkims.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/<br />

DEBRIS REMOVAL & DEED RESTRICTION VIOLATIONS<br />
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to remove trash and debris from<br />
the front of their home. If more time is needed for repairs, the HOA<br />
Board and management company will review these on a case-by-case<br />
basis. Please reach out to the management company.<br />

NEW YEAR’S<br />
We here at the Association would like to wish all of you and your<br />
family a Happy and Safe New Year.<br />
WINTER IS HERE -<br />
REMEMBER THE FREEZE FROM LAST YEAR<br />
I know we don’t often have to worry about freezing temps here but<br />
it can sneak up on us. Protect your pets, plants and pipes. Have food<br />
and other supplies handy in case we lose power for a few days.<br />
YARD TIPS<br />
You can help wildlife by leaving as much tidying up as possible until<br />
the end of winter and doing so can make your garden look more<br />
attractive, too. This is the season when it’s easiest to get into your<br />
garden to make changes in preparation for the coming year. Take the<br />
opportunity to look around and decide where to add new wildlife<br />
features, such as a log pile or pond.<br />
Pay special attention to your flowerbeds and hedges - it’s time to<br />
single out the plants that do not contribute very much, swapping<br />
them for species that will attract more animals to your garden.<br />
As winter progresses, birds will become more dependent on the food<br />
you put out. This is when they use feeders most heavily, so hygiene<br />
is important: clean your feeders and tables now by soaking them in<br />
sterilizing fluid and get into the routine of washing them regularly.<br />
Don’t forget to keep seed feeders full and fresh water in birdbaths.<br />
Put out suet cakes - the extra protein helps keep our feathered friends<br />
warm in the winter months.<br />
MUD 102<br />
Stay informed with the MUD District and sign up with www.hcmud102.<br />
org to receive emails.<br />
SECURITY<br />
The officers that patrol our neighborhood are contracted by us and<br />
are here to protect us and our property. They have no concern of your<br />
immigration status, so please call them.<br />
If you see something, say something. Call the sheriff’s department<br />
713-221-6000. Lock your car doors and take your valuables out of<br />
your car.<br />
ARCHITECTURAL AND MODIFICATION REVIEW<br />
Please remember when you are making modification to the exterior<br />
of your home and or your property you must submit an application<br />
for approval before any work begins. This will help you avoid costly<br />
“do-overs” or a Deed Restriction violation. To submit a request, log in<br />
on pmghouston.com website using My Account. On the top left side,<br />
you will click on Services and Amenities and then click Architectural<br />
Review. There you can submit a request.<br />
