MPCA UPCOMING BOARD ELECTION

There will be two Board positions open for 2014. The election will be held on November 6th at the Annual Meeting, although you can vote early by Proxy. Doug White and William Pongrass have submitted their names to be put on the ballot/proxy. They both have written a short bio to let you know a little about them before you cast your vote. WILLIAM PONGRASS I am running for the Memorial Parkway Community Association Board of Directors to continue the goals previous directors have established for our neighborhood. Top priorities are maintaining property values by enforcing our deed restrictions, keeping our neighborhood safe, and making sure that our Association’s finances are stable. I think it is important that we do whatever is necessary in order to keep Memorial Parkway attractive and a nice family neighborhood where people are proud to live and own a home. I grew up here, graduated from Taylor High School and became a homeowner in the subdivision in 1986. I have been employed with the United States Postal Service since 1987, as well as a volunteer firefighter and EMT at West 1-10 Fire Department, which serves Memorial Parkway. I serve as a baseball coach for my son’s team and in the KISD Watch D.O.G.S. program (Dads of Great Students). Your vote will be appreciated. DOUG WHITE I am married with three daughters, six grandchildren and have been a homeowner in Memorial Parkway for over 20 years. I recently retired from Xerox and have been enjoying traveling around the country with my wife. I’ve served on the Board since 2005 as President and Secretary. Before being elected to the Board, I was Chairman of the Recreation Committee for 4 years. During these past years, there have been many positive changes in our neighborhood, as well as continued growth in the financial security of the Association. I would like the chance to stay on the Board and be part of our continued success by making decisions that are the best for all of our homeowners.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE

The Dumpster at the rear of our parking lot on Cimarron Parkway is not for use by residents who want to get rid of their garbage or debris. This dumpster is for Association use only. We have a security camera on the premises, so if you’re guilty of throwing your trash in our dumpster, we probably have you on video tape.

CURB APPEAL, HOW’S YOURS?

Take a look at the curb just outside your home? Is yours clean, pleasing to look at? Or is it cracked and missing a piece or two? Also, look at the curbs in your immediate neighborhood. Look around and see if we need to get those broken curbs fixed. We all appreciate seeing a clean appearance to Memorial Parkway, especially with trimmed bushes, new flowers planted and healthy trees, however, look down at the curbs. With the combination of age and weather, our streets and sidewalks move. While we have definitely noticed the dead trees from the 2011 drought, we need to look down to make sure our curbs look as good as the day we moved into our home. Remember, the curbs do a lot more for our appearance than just move water down the street. Take 10 minutes to note the intersection or home location that might need a curb repair, then call the County to have this put on the list of needed repairs. The number for Harris County the number is 281-463-8703. Together we can “fix our curb appeal.” You can also go to Harris County Precinct 3, Commissioner Steve Radack, and click on “Service Request.”

We are sending violation letters to everyone who needs to tend to their properties, whether it’s for lawn maintenance, dead trees, dead shrubs, over-grown foliage, etc. Many of our homeowners have areas in their yards that need to be re-sod. Many of you have tried, but the grass just won’t grow. In some cases, tree roots are at the surface not allowing the new sod to grab hold and the trees are not allowing sun to get through. If the soil has washed away, it will be necessary to put down a layer of dirt before trying anything. We understand this is an expenditure that you weren’t counting on, but it does need to be corrected. It’s important that you contact us immediately after you receive the letter to let us know your intent for taking care of the matter. If we don’t hear from you and have to send more notices, charges may be posted to your account per our normal procedures.

MPCA I.D. INFORMATION

Every resident must have a MPCA I.D. CARD to use the pools, clubhouse and tennis courts. Complete the I.D. Registration form in this newsletter and return it to the office at least 3 days before coming in to the office for pictures taken. If you are renting your home, please provide us evidence that you live in the subdivision, i.e. a water bill with your name on it, etc. ID’s are for residents only. Homeowners who do not live in Memorial Parkway are not eligible for a MPCA I.D. CARD. Once you have the card, turn it in to the office the following year for validation.

SIDEWALKS

All sidewalks within Common Areas shall be maintained by the Association. All other sidewalks shall be maintained by the owner of the lot on which the sidewalk is situated. If any section of your sidewalk is uneven, which may cause someone to trip and hurt themselves, you are responsible for repairing or replacing that section of the sidewalk and liable for any injuries incurred. In some cases, a sunken section of a sidewalk may be caused by a water or sewer line leak. If you’re in doubt, you can call Precinct 3 at 281-4636300 and request that someone come to your home and check it out.

VEHICLE PARKING ON THE STREET

It is not a violation of our deed restrictions to park a vehicle on the street as long as it is not being stored, is fully operational and has current tags. However, the Transportation Code of Texas, Title 6, Chapter 545, Section 302, states that .a vehicle cannot park closer than 15 feet to a fire hydrant. .a vehicle cannot park closer than 20 feet to an intersection.

.a vehicle cannot park closer than 30 feet to a stop sign. The Board has asked our Constables to take the appropriate action whenever there is a violation of the Transportation Code. The parking of vehicles on the street has become a big problem in our neighborhood. School buses can’t pull close to the curb to pick up and let off students. In some cases, emergency vehicles may not be able to reach their destination if traffic flow is inhibited, especially when two cars are parked directly across from each other. Plus, vehicles parked on the street are those that are vandalized the most. Some of the worst areas are the cul-de-sacs where it’s hard enough to back out of a driveway or navigate the circle even when there aren’t any vehicles parked on the street. Be considerate of your neighbors and don’t park your vehicle in front of their house or block their mailbox. Also, think of the neighbor across the street and park so that you’re not making it difficult for them to back out of their own driveway. All of our homes have at least a two or three-car garage and room for several cars in the driveway. We respectfully request that you refrain from parking on the street.

TRASH CANS

The HOA has received complaints about trashcans being stored in front of the home, left at curbside, and not being stored out of sight. In the past, the deed restriction committee has not been writing letters to homeowners about proper storage of trashcans. Since this has become a problem in the neighborhood, we are now sending letters to homeowners if their trashcans are not properly stored out of sight. Trash cans should be placed at the curb until the night before or the morning of trash pickup and the cans should be stored away out of sight by the end of the day. If your trashcans are visible from the street on any other day, you will be in violation of the deed restriction. Thanks to all of you who have started storing your trash receptacles out of public view. It really has made a big difference in the over-all appearance of our neighborhood and we appreciate your cooperation.

TRASH COLLECTION

If you are having any problems with getting trash picked up or want to register a complaint, please call WCA at 281-368-8397 if you are a customer of Memorial MUD. If you are a customer of MUD 81, you may call Royale Disposal and Recycle at 713-526-1536.

STREET GUTTERS AND DRAINS

We ask that you keep the street area in front of your home clean, so that leaves, pine needles, grass clippings and dirt won’t accumulate in the gutters next to the curb and end up being washed into the drains causing them to back up and flood the streets. If you see someone putting grass clippings, oil or other debris down the drains, please contact the MUD District and the County at 281-463-6300. This includes lawn contractors that are blowing the leaves into the street instead of bagging them. We send out notices asking that you keep the leaves, pine needles and acorns swept up so that they won’t get into the drains. Some of our residents felt that this was a waste of our time and were upset that we had written to them, stating that they were getting this waste from a neighbor up the street. On the other hand, most of our residents understood that backed-up drains would cause flooding on some of our streets and cleaned up their yards and streets regardless of where the debris came from. THANK YOU!

Here are several examples of things you can do to help reduce the mosquito population and eliminate their breeding site. • Get rid of old tires, tin cans, buckets, drums, bottles or any waterholding containers. • Fill in or drain any low places (puddles, ruts, etc.) in the yard. • Keep drains, ditches and culverts free of weeds and trash so water will drain properly. • Keep roof gutters free of leaves and other debris. • Cover trash containers to keep out rainwater. • Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets. • Empty plastic wading pools at least once a week and store indoors when not in use. • Unused swimming pools should be drained and kept dry during the mosquito season. • Fill in tree rot holes and hollow stumps that hold water. • Change the water in birdbaths and plant pots or drip trays at least once each week. • Keep grass cut and shrubbery well trimmed around the house so adult mosquitoes will not hide there. • Repair window screens. • Make sure ornamental ponds have fish, which will eat mosquito larvae. When outdoors in the evening or when mosquitoes are biting, use personal protection measures to prevent mosquito bites such as insect repellent and appropriate clothing.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

To be successful in controlling the mosquito population, we need your help. Mosquito larvae must live in still water for five or more days to complete their growth before changing into adult biting mosquitoes capable of transmitting disease. Often, the number of mosquitoes in an area can be reduced by removing sources of standing water around residences. For example, hundreds of mosquitoes can come from a single discarded tire.

GARAGE SALES

MPCA would like to suggest that garage sales be conducted the first Friday and Saturday of each month. This will eliminate the many signs that are out each week and also makes for a stronger turn out. Most area communities only allow sales twice a year. Memorial Parkway could be known for its “Once a Month” garage sales. Do not attach your garage sale signs to the STOP signs, as it is against the law and the County can issue citations for this. If a sign is on a public right of way, like the esplanades), they may be subject to fines of $500-$1000 per occurrence per day. We also ask that you do not post your signs on the property of another resident. When your sale is over, please go back and pick up all of your signs.

DEED RESTRICTIONS

Memorial Parkway Community Association has inspectors that drive through the neighborhood checking for violations of our deed restrictions. They are not permitted to get out of their cars and/or trespass on your property. They only take pictures of violations that can be seen from the street. If you see one of our inspectors stopped in front of your home, please do not approach their vehicle to confront them. Their vehicles are identified with a MPCA sign on the car door that says deed restriction inspector. Some of our inspectors have been threatened and some have been followed. If they see you approach their vehicle, they have every right to drive off without talking to you. If you still have Recommended byoffice. questions, call the

2013 MAINTENANCE FEES

If your 2013 maintenance fees have not been paid, your account has either been turned over to our attorney for collection or we have filed a petition in Small Claims Court suing you for non-payment. In some cases, we may have to take both legal actions. The homeowner is responsible for all costs relating to our efforts in trying to collect monies due.

If you get a SportsRadio 610notice am of violation and you feel it was sent to you in error, please call the office. Our staff will look at the picture taken of the violation and confirm whether the address is correct or not. Our inspectors make every effort to make sure they’ve got the right violation logged to the right address with the right picture to go along with it. But with 2,219 homes to inspect and over 25 miles of streets, they sometimes get it wrong. If that’s the case, we apologize for the mistake and will remove the violation from your record.

If you want clarification on a deed restriction, you can read the complete document by going to our web page. It’s titled “Architectural Control Committee Guidelines.” The inspectors, MPCA Board and office staff are not in the business of harassing our residents, but are only trying to enforce the documents that all homeowners agreed to abide by when they purchased property in Memorial Parkway. Many of you were sent letters regarding grass growing in the seams of your driveway and/or sidewalk. Please remove them when you’re doing your yard work or spray them with a weed killer.

REMINDER FOR DOG WALKERS

Be a responsible / considerate pet owner by picking up your dog’s waste from your neighbor’s yard when you’re out for a walk. There’s nothing more frustrating than stepping in fecal matter in your own yard when you don’t even have a pet.

LEASH LAW

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal. Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances: 1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being who is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question. 2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle. 3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access to sidewalk or street. While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.

Family Owned / No Commission Salesmen

Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and must be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises of the owner. We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower beds might keep cats away.

DOING REPAIR WORK ONYOUR HOMES EXTERIOR????

The ACC is receiving record numbers of requests to make improvements or changes to the exterior of homes. We thank you for your cooperation in filling out the forms before starting any work. If you are planning to do any repairs, re-roofing, re-painting, additions, pools, storage sheds, fencing or patio covers please turn in a request form for approval. Forms can be found in the newsletter or online at our website WWW.MPHOA.ORG. You may also pick up a form from the office during office hours.

RESIDENT COMMENT FORM

If you have noticed a problem in the subdivision you think needs taking care of, please complete the resident comment form and turn it in to the office. The subdivision gets a drive through inspection twice a month. Some problems may not be noticed at that time. It is helpful if residents can inform the office in writing of such problems. Having complaints in writing is helpful, if the association has to take legal steps in enforcing deed restriction violations. Our subdivision was formed 35 years ago and we need to take steps to keep it looking nice so the value of homes will continue to increase.
