BLOCKING SIDEWALKS: If a vehicle is parked blocking a sidewalk, it becomes very difﬁcult for pedestrians, bicycles, children, strollers and wheelchairs to pass safely. Blocking the sidewalk can result in forcing these people to enter into the street causing unsafe conditions. BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS: When a vehicle is parked blocking a driveway, it creates an inconvenience for the homeowners attempting to leave or enter his/her driveway. 48 HOUR PARKING: No vehicle can be parked on any residential street for more than 48 consecutive hours. PARKING TOO CLOSE TO AN INTERSECTION OR CROSSWALK: Vehicles may not be parked within 30 feet of a stop sign or within 20 feet of a crosswalk.

BLOCKING A FIRE HYDRANT: This is one of the most common violations is when a vehicle is parked blocking a fire hydrant or fire lane. This can create problems for emergency vehicles and hinders their ability to do their job effectively. No vehicles may be parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. This information was provided by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office in order to familiarize you with a few common laws, which we should keep in mind when operating a motor vehicle. Your safety and the safety of others is very important to us. Remember to always buckle up.

EMAIL ADDRESSES

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.

As another way to share communication, ideas and events in our neighborhood, you can visit us on Facebook. We will post news and events on the page, but this is meant to be an interactive site for neighbors to share ideas and communication on a variety of topics. If you would like to get on our mailing list, please send us your email address, so that we can contact you immediately if there’s something important happening in our neighborhood that would be of interest to you.

HOW TO REPORT BACKYARD NUISANCE

If you have a neighbor with a terrible backyard such as garbage dumping, unsanitary conditions, unsecured private swimming pools, etc., you can go to Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services’ Website to file a complaint, www.hcphes.org/eph/ complaints.

NEED CURB REPAIR??

Do you have a broken curb in front of your home... Did you know that Harris County Precinct 3 will come and fix it? It is as easy as going to their website and filling out the service request form. They will come and fix it for free (well, that is your tax dollars at work)! They will not fix the curved part that attaches to your driveway, that is the homeowner’s responsibility. You can go to www.harriscountytx.gov/ servicerequestform/default.aspx?pct3 and fill out the service request form if you have a broken curb that needs repaired.

QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? SUGGESTIONS?

We welcome communication from homeowners and residents. The MPCA Board of Directors are your neighbors and are available to

Memorial Parkway

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE

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.

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. Some of our residents feel that this was a waste of our time and are 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. We ask that you do the same. THANK YOU!

LAWN MAINTENANCE

Many of you have received letters regarding the need to re-sod the bare spots in your yard. We suggest that you take care of this matter in the next month or two. If there are trees in the yard that may be preventing the lawn from getting ample sunlight, you may have to get them trimmed. You may also have to lay new dirt so that the seeds can take hold. We also encourage you to keep your lawn mown and edged one a weekly basis, if necessary to maintain a neat appearance at all times. Remember to remove the weeds growing between the seams of the concrete on the sidewalk and driveway.

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-$1,000 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.

Always there for you!

DEED RESTRICTIONS

$50 OFF

be happy to give you ample time to cure the violation. 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, verbally abused 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 questions, call the office. If you get a notice 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 webpage. 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.

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.

2015 FOOD FOR FAMILIES CAMPAIGN RAISES $26,000 FOR KATY ISD FAMILIES

Katy ISD Partners in Education is celebrating another successful Food for Families campaign, the District’s annual community initiative that supports families in need. Principals from every campus identify students and $50 grocery gift cards are given to those students’ families before the winter break. Initially conceived as a way for Katy ISD employees at the administration building to help students and their families, Food for Families has burgeoned into a communitywide initiative that is now primarily supported by individual, private contributions. And for the ﬁrst time, local eateries donated a portion of their proceeds during the inaugural “Food for Families Restaurant Week,” ultimately helping to provide gift cards for 40 families. Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative, unites our Katy ISD staff and community in holiday support for select students and their families. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the “Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact Tammy Stringer, 281-396-2645, tammyrstringer@katyisd.org.

BP LEADS AS KATY ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION CORNERSTONE INVESTOR

The BP STEM Grant Program is administered via the Foundation’s Inspiring Imagination teacher grant initiative for grants in place this school year.

This second BP contribution will reach even farther, providing teachers with countless opportunities to bring extraordinary classroom experiences to their students.”
