LAWN MAINTENANCE In the case of visible neglect of lawn maintenance and unresponsiveness from the residents, the HOA reserves the right to mow and or edge the resident’s lawn and charge them for the services rendered. A flat $ 80 fee will be charged to the homeowner, regardless of whether the entire lawn will need maintenance, or if only edging (sidewalks, driveways, etc. ) is required. The HOA has discretion as to which services are needed at the time of service. For more information on Deed Restrictions please visit www. canyongate.com/communities/park

Street Trees & Tree Stakes

It is a good time to review the trees on your property and undertake trimming and maintenance, as necessary. Remember to give special attention to your trees, those that are situated between the sidewalk and road. As live oaks mature, their branches have a tendency to dip towards the ground and their canopy needs to be thinned and trimmed. The canopy of street trees needs to be pruned to ensure that the branches do not impede passing traffic. Unused tree stake should also be removed, as they can become unsightly.

PARK LAKES PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION New Gate Guard and Patrol Service Your Board of Directors has hired a new vendor to provide gate guard and armed patrol services. Securitas will be introduced at this meeting and will begin providing services tomorrow, May 8th at 10:00 AM. Below is a list of expectations and responsibilities relating to these services: • Securitas will waive and lift the barrier arm for all residents displaying a Park Lakes sticker in the driver side windshield. • Securitas must check in all visitors, delivery drivers, and utility providers by recording their license plate number and recording their destinations. Residents who are on the call list will be called at all times to obtain access approval. • The only exception to the above statement is when delivery drivers such as UPS , FEDEX, etc. are making deliveries to several addresses. In this case the driver’s information will be recorded but the residents will not be called. • Visitors entering the community with a resident as a passenger must enter through the visitor lane and will be processed by having their license plate number and destination recorded. The passenger may provide proof of residency. • Homeowners entering without an EZ Tag or Park Lakes sticker will be stopped and information will be recorded each time the resident enters. The gate guards shall not provide access based upon recognition of the person or the vehicle. (Please see information below on how to register your EZ Tag or obtain a Park Lakes sticker for your vehicle). • Residents should contact the guardhouse at (281) 441-1089 and report any planned events or parties to the guards on duty. The resident should provide their address and the time of the event/party to the guard. The guard will record the license plate number and destination of your guest but will not call to provide notice of arrival of the guest to the resident. If you would like to register your EZ Tag and/or obtain a Park Lakes sticker please see Lisa Walker at the clubhouse located at 9730 Park Lakes Canyon Trace. Office hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Thursday Noon to 8:00 PM.
