Letter from the President

Dear Hamlet Homeowners, A gentle reminder that we are now working with Principal Management Group of Houston (PMG). If you have yet to pay your 2012 annual assessment, we encourage you to work with PMG. We urge you to contact PMG immediately and discuss what can be done to balance your account. You may reach our manager, Hilary Chala, at 713-329-7171. Waiting to pay will result in penalties, so please do not delay. Many thanks to those of you who have paid on time!

Williamsburg Hamlet now has an official website! Please find us online at www.katyhamlet.org! From this portal, you will be able to navigate all of the governing documents of our community, find architectural review forms, all of the latest community information, your payment status, as well as many other features.

Wednesday will remain a regular garbage collection day; please have your garbage on the curb by 7:00 AM. Items that may be recycled in the Hamlet are newspapers, magazines, colored paper, paper bags, folders, phone books, greeting cards, cardboard, cereal boxes, plastics #1-7, pots and pans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil and cans, steel and tin cans, gutters, copper and scrap metal.

Items that cannot be recycled are plastic bags, Styrofoam, soiled pizza boxes, coat hangers, paint and solvent containers, light bulbs, mirrors, windows, dishes and cups, wet or dirty paper, paper towels, tissue paper and toilet paper and single use plates and cups, unless they are marked as #1-7 plastic. Thanks so much for making the Hamlet and the world a greener place to live! If you have any questions or comments, please contact WCA Waste Corporation directly at 281-368-8397.

The Beautification Committee will resume the Yard of the Month Award in April! March 12th is “Plant a Flower Day” so this may be the perfect opportunity to turn your eye to your flowerbed and let your springtime imagination run wild! Yard of the Month Awards will continue through September. Happy planting! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Sincerely, Peyton Belunek, President Williamsburg Hamlet

Welcome to New Homeowners

If you are a new Williamsburg Hamlet homeowner - Welcome! If you, for any reason, did not receive a copy of the Williamsburg Hamlet Maintenance Association Deed Restrictions, by-laws, or other governing documents, please go onto www.katyhamlet.org and view them online. They are available at no cost to you and will give you the information you need about your new community. Please take the time to take the “Homeowner Orientation” while you are on the site as well.

Williamsburg Hamlet

New Website

Williamsburg Hamlet has an official website!!! Our web address is www. katyhamlet.org. In order to gain full access to the site, you will need to contact Hilary Chala at 713-329-7171 and obtain your ID number to create an account with the site. Once you have your ID, you will visit the website and click “Sign Up for a New Account” on the right hand side of the page. Then, you will register as a first time user and create a unique user ID and password to use each time you login. From the new website, you will be able to view our deed restrictions, bylaws, governing documents, financial reports, minutes from meetings of the Board of Directors, architectural review forms, your account status, pool information and general community information. We encourage you to become familiar with the site and take some time to take the “Homeowner Orientation” offered there, which gives some very useful information on life in a homeowner’s association.

Home and Vehicle Security

Here in the Hamlet, since we have only 2-way streets, parking is LEGAL only on the right side of each street. The red reflectors on the rear of vehicles are to warn night drivers that they are approaching the rear of another vehicle. So, by parking the wrong way on a street, the front of this vehicle is facing the oncoming traffic, plus, it is illegally parked. And remember, it is ILLEGAL to park within fifteen (15) feet of a fire hydrant. This one might get your vehicle towed!

Parking in a driveway, when possible, is safer than street parking.

The “street” side of a vehicle parked in the street is more vulnerable to break-in and vandalism than the “curb” side and even more so when no alarm system is employed. Remove all loose valuable items - or at least cover them to prevent viewing from the outside of the vehicle. And, above all, use normal precautions such as closing all windows and sunroofs and lock all doors.

Available statistics will show that homes and outside property that are neat and well kept have less problems with burglary and theft than the reverse conditions. Security systems have a definite impact on the number of home forced entries.

Double-keyed deadbolt locks are recommended for exterior entrance doors, along with reinforced door-facing inner safety plates. Security lights with motion sensors seem to help deter night mischief acts.

Keeping the yard clean and mowed, shrubbery trimmed and clear of the walls of buildings and doorways clear and visible will give everything a more secure appearance.

Security is similar to charity - it needs to begin at home.

Deed Restrictions

Please take some time to take an assessment of the exterior of your home. A fresh coat of paint is a solid investment in preserving your home. Approved colors for the Hamlet are earth tones. Please submit an architectural review for your chose color and consider this important home maintenance responsibility. If you have replaced your siding and have yet to paint, please do so. Tending to your landscaping can boost your curb appeal, as well as save you greatly in home repair in the long run. Overgrown plants near your home can conceal insect infestation and damage your foundation and home exterior. Now is a good time to take inventory and prune your plants.

Avoid planting close to your home.

The board asks that those of you who have received letters from the management company comply with the requests to abide by the community’s deed restrictions. When you purchased a home in this community, you chose to participate in our rules and regulations. We all want a beautiful Hamlet and every home makes a difference! If you are having difficulty complying with the request, please contact the management company and explain your situation. Communication is the first step toward understanding!

Architectural Review

A new “Application for Approval to Modify Home or Property” is available. This year, there have been some changes in the Texas State laws and our deed restrictions have evolved to reflect those changes. The new laws allow for solar energy devices; the display of U.S., Texas and U.S. armed forces flags and rainwater harvesting systems, as well as certain types of shingles. All of these additions to your home would require an architectural review and are only allowed in certain places on your home/lot. The deed restriction changes will be available on the new website www.katyhamlet.org. To avoid penalties, please complete the approval form before you begin any change or addition to your home, which will affect the exterior appearance of your property. Martin Courville is the board contact for architectural reviews; so if you have any questions regarding the approval process or if an application is needed, please contact him at 281-343-6881, mmcourville@consolidated.net or contact Hilary Chala at PMG at 713-329-7171.

The post should be neat, sturdy and strong enough to support your mailbox. Home address numbers that are at least 1” tall should be applied to the right side of the mailbox or post.

No signs or advertisements may be attached to your mailbox or post. And YES, it is illegal for any person, other than the property owner or resident and USPS employees, to open or close the door, or insert or remove any item from your mailbox. SO, with a little TLC, your mailbox can reflect your and the neighborhood’s personality.

Pet Ownership Responsibility

Mailbox Guidelines

All homes in the Hamlet are regulated by the requirements of the United States Postal Service (USPS) and must therefore, provide an authorized mail receptacle, including proper installation and maintenance. Let us take pride in the appearance of our mailboxes. In Section 1 of the Hamlet approximately 20 percent (1 of 5) mailboxes and/or posts are in need of attention. By making these corrections alone, we could greatly improve the drive through looks and overall appearance of our neighborhood.

Some of the discrepancies noted during a drive through were: (1) Doors hanging open; (2) Mailboxes in need of repair or replacement; (3) Posts leaning sideways in need of paint or replacing.

Since USPS is a federal agency, their standards apply nationally and are NOT regulated by local government agencies. There are three approved standard sizes and two styles of mailboxes, so make sure that if you are buying a new mailbox it satisfies USPS requirements.

The two styles are: Traditional and Contemporary.

any information that will be useful to the reporting deputy - license plate numbers for speeding or suspicious vehicles, as well as make, model and color of the vehicle, will all make the deputy’s job easier upon arrival. Take down a brief description of any suspicious persons you see - physical description and clothing, as well as where you last saw them and which way they were traveling.

Williamsburg Hamlet, like all communities, is not immune from having sex offenders living in the area.

Call Before You Dig It’s Safe. It’s Free. It’s the Law.

“Quality at a price you can afford.”

By law, homeowners or contractors planning projects involving digging must call 811 at least 48 hours ahead of time. At no cost, the notification center will alert utilities such as electric, gas, cable and phone companies so they can mark the location of their underground lines.

Following these simple steps can prevent an interruption of service or possible safety hazards: • Call 811 before you dig • Wait the required amount of time (at least 48 hours) • Respect the locator’s marks • Dig with care For more information, please visit: www.call811.com.

March Gardening Tips

With Yard of the Month resuming in April, now is a good time to turn your eye on your flowerbeds and yard. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: • If you have planted a new tree, you may think it would look lovely to plant flowers around it; however, mulch is the best option. New trees do not like to be disturbed with digging and their roots need room to grow.

• March and April are not the best times to prune pine trees as they tend to bleed more then than during other months of the year.

• Once your tulips have flowered, remove them - they will not flower again in the Gulf Area.

• This is a great time to dig up some of your overcrowded perennial flowers and share them with friends, family and neighbors or transplant them to another part of your garden to make room for spring growth.

Daylight Savings Time

It is once again time to spring forward. Daylight Savings Time, when you set your clocks one hour ahead, will occur March 11, 2012.

The idea of Daylight Savings Time was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in an essay while he was an American delegate in Paris in 1784. Daylight Savings Time has been around in the U.S. since World War 1. The main purpose at that time was to conserve fuel to provide electric power. Daylight Savings Time gives us the opportunity to enjoy sunny evenings so remember to spring forward. It is also a good time to check your smoke alarm batteries. Happy Spring!

Planting the Right Tree in the Right Place

CenterPoint Energy understands that the responsible planting of trees is a way to care for our environment and beautify our community, yet we are also committed to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity.

Our professional tree pruning program is integrated into our daily operations to help make this possible. Trees that grow close to CenterPoint Energy’s electrical poles and lines will be pruned by a professional tree trimming company under contract with CenterPoint Energy. Any vegetation greater than 10 feet in height will be removed from high-voltage transmission line rights-of-way.

Palm trees growing near power lines create unique issues. Unlike other trees, palms grow in a straight, vertical line, with a single growing point at the top of the tree. Because of this single-growth point, normal pruning techniques are not effective. With most trees, crews are able to direct the growth away from power lines using proper pruning techniques, but growth of palm trees cannot be redirected.

If you choose to include palm trees in your landscape, CenterPoint Energy recommends a planting distance of 20 - 40 feet to reduce the risk of windblown fronds contacting power lines. Consumers should plant palm trees far enough away from power lines that no part of the tree ever grows within 10 feet of the line.

CenterPoint Energy encourages you to plant the “Right Tree in the Right Place” by thinking about the mature height of a tree and its distance from power lines before planting. For more information on safe planting practices and a list of power line-friendly trees, visit CenterPointEnergy.com/trees.

Keep Kids Connected was created to help kids stay connected to family and friends while they undergo their treatment for cancer or any other life-threatening illness. The idea for the organization was created by Caitlyn Mortus who is, herself, a cancer survivor. While going through her treatments, she was given a Netbook computer from a family friend. The computer kept her in contact with her friends and helped keep her spirits up when she was in the hospital for her treatments or unable to have visitors. Her wish is that every kid battling cancer or any life-threatening illness be given a computer so they can stay connected to their family and friends while they are going through their treatments. Her wish has become our mission.
