Cypress Mill Deed Restriction Violations

TRASH

Trash bins need to be out of view from the street. That means you cannot have your trash bins on the driveway, side of home or behind columns in front of garage door. You will get a letter and if you do not comply we will send you to the attorney just for this trash bin violation and you will receive the attorney charge on your account. Please move your trash bins out of view from the street.

SOLICITATION IS AGAINST OUR DEED RESTRICTION

Please do not purchase from solicitors and ask them to leave our neighborhood. Although it is difficult to enforce this violation, we can work together to keep this activity at a minimum. Please contact Constable Mark Herman dispatch at 281-376-3472 if any harassment issues or suspicious behavior arises.

SWEEPING OR BLOWING DEBRIS INTO STORM DRAINS

When sweeping or blowing debris to the front; curb. Please pick it up and dispose of it properly. According to Herman L. Sanders of the Harris County Watershed Protection Group, "Sweeping grass, leaves, grass clippings, yard waste, etc., into a storm drain is cited as a civil solid-waste violation of State Municipal Solid Waste rules, Chapter 330.15 (a)(1). Civil penalties are $50 to $25,000 per day per violation. Criminal penalties, if pursued, are $500 to $100,000 per day per violation." Please keep the front of the driveway and curbs cleaned to keep debris from going into the street gutters.

NOTICE: FITNESS ROOM USAGE

Children under 18 are not allowed in the fitness room. If a child has access to the fitness room, the card will be deactivated. And the homeowner/tenant will have to discuss reactivation with the Board of Directors.

POLITE PARKING

Several complaints have been received about visitors leaving their vehicles parked for extended periods of time. Please ask your visitors to park in your driveway or at least in front of your property, leaving your neighbors room for their visitors to park or to pass through with their vehicles.

PAINTING

It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which may mean painting every three to five years on an average, depending on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from the elements reducing rot. Do not forget your ACC application along with paint color samples, which must be processed and approved first!

POWER WASHING

Take a walk around your property. If you see green or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway, and sidewalk. This small step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained.

GUTTERS

Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time of year, they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are full of leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will need to be cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to become loose and the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters are important as they protect the fascia boards.

LANDSCAPING

Trees, shrubs, and seasonal flowers add a great deal to the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep your landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your home and does not interfere with the street.

STREET PARKING

Please keep in mind that that the streets belong to the City. Please report all street parking to Harris County Constable Precinct 4 non- emergency line at 281-376-3472.
