WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONS YOU TOO, COULD WIN THE

Yard of the Month OCTOBER 2012

Congratulations to Greg and Pam Sanford at 16214 Wimbledon Champions Dr. in the Traditional Section! The Sanford’s moved to this section from the Park Section late last year. They have been diligently working to improve the landscape of their new home. This yard abounds with wellmanicured Dwarf Yaupon, Dwarf Chinese Holly, Arborvitae, Indian Hawthorne and Nandina. The evergreen shrubs are complimented by mounds of yellow Coleus, variegated Caladiums and pink Knock-Out Roses that are intermixed throughout the gardens. Their Oak Tree is surrounded by a bed of Dianthus and two large Podocarpus trees frame the front of the home. Lighting illuminates the landscaped stairway to the front entrance topped by urns overflowing with Bougainvillea. For their efforts, the Sanford’s will receive a $50 gift certificate from, our Yard of the Month sponsor, Plants For All Seasons and have their address highlighted on our neighborhood marquee on Cypresswood Dr.

Plants For All Seasons—Louetta 6610 Louetta Spring, TX (281) 370-6390 plantsforallseasonslouetta.com

Serving You 7 Days A Week!!!

Wimbledon Champions Yard of the Month As fall ushers in with a hint of cool weather, you will be spending more time outdoors and thinking about that fall color you may want to add to your gardens and front porch! This season gives us an opportunity to start fresh with bright color and new plantings in our yards. I would like to remind you of what the criterion is for choosing Yard of the Month. Please keep this in mind as you shop for new plants and flowers for your gardens. What is the criterion to win The Yard of the Month? We look for a yard with the best overall appearance where the lot stands out as the most pleasing in the area. We consider if there is good landscape design, healthy looking plants and seasonal color. Is the yard neat and well maintained? Are there any weeds that need to be removed or plants that need to be replaced or trimmed? Are the sidewalks and driveway neat, edged and free of stains? Is the garage door kept closed and trash cans, and yard equipment put away? Bonus points are given if the yard consistently looks good and has been recently upgraded and/or the homeowners are known to do some or all of the yard work themselves. To be eligible the homeowners must be up to date with their homeowners’ dues and not have any current deed restriction violations. Why should we have a Yard of the Month award? To recognize and reward homeowners that go above and beyond what the deed restrictions require. The award encourages all homeowners to have good landscaping for all of us to enjoy which in turn helps show case our neighborhood and maintain our property values. How often may a homeowner or section win Yard of the Month? A homeowner is considered if they have not won the award in the previous twelve months and preferably not in the last two years. Based on the number of homeowners in each section, we consider homes in WC Gardens 1-2 times a year, WC Park 4-5 times a year, WC Estates 2-3 times a year and Wimbledon Champions (ungated section) 5-6 times a year. If there isn’t a yard in a section that warrants a Yard of the Month award then the next section of homes in the rotation is chosen. What do you win if your home is selected for Yard of the Month? You will receive a gift certificate from, our Yard of the Month sponsor, Plants For All Season for $50. The Yard of the Month sign is placed in your yard for one month and recognition of your address as Yard of the Month is placed on the marquee on Cypresswood Drive for the entire month. You also receive the appreciation of your neighbors for providing them with a beautiful view. Nominate a neighbor If you feel a neighbor of yours is worthy of this honor, please contact Gayle Jennings @ gmjenn65@sbcglobal.net. We will check that they meet the above criteria and consider them for the next award. All sections of our subdivision are judged between the 1st and 6th of every month for the next month’s award. Keep this time frame in mind as you plant your flowers. Wimbledon Champions Telegraph - October 2012

Dear Neighbors On August 17, 2012 I talked to FEMA in Denton, Texas and they informed me they were proceeding in asking a federal judge to allow them to appoint a five person Scientific Resolution Panel to resolve the Cypress Creek Water Shed calculations. FEMA is asking for this panel because the Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Bridgeland Development. If the judge grants approval of this panel, FEMA would then have 150 days, (approximately 5 months), to get this together. FEMA would select two of the panel members with outsiders selecting the other three members. How long it would take this panel to resolve their findings is unknown, and nobody was willing to even give me an estimate of how long it might take. I have mailed a registered letter to the judge asking her to deny FEMA’s request and to put an end to all the procrastination that has been involved in trying to get this issue resolved. It is my understanding that if the judge denies FEMA’s request, then we will still be on track to have the official maps in November 2012! I do not know when the hearing will be but I have asked the judge for her comments. I hope she will respond and I will pass her comments on to you. Best Wishes, Jimmy Watson, President MUD #316
