September Message from Your Board of Directors
PMG of Houston, your dedicated community management team, would like to share a few reminders to help ensure the safety and quality of life in Cypress Mill.
Deed Restriction Violation
Trash bins need to be out of view from the street. That means you cannot have your trash bins on the driveway, side of the home, or behind columns in front of the 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.
Leash Laws
There have been several complaints about dogs either running loose in the neighborhood or being walked but not on a leash. It is annoying and sometimes frightening when dogs run up to a homeowner so, for safety reasons, please keep your dog on a leash. FYI-Excerpt from: The Khan Law Firm Harris County Animal Control clearly states that “all dogs and cats must be kept under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas.” In other words, dogs are not permitted to run around at large; and they always must be kept under direct physical control (on a leash) of their owner.
Barking Dogs Problem
-
Call from outside when the dogs are barking. Request from the operator who answers the phone exactly what to ask for in a formal noise complaint.
- Tell them you would like to meet the constable to make a formal complaint.
- The best way is to talk to your neighbor, but if you do not feel comfortable, call the Constable’s office.
Architectural Review Process
The Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) as well as other legally binding documents, are provided to homeowners before closing on a house. Please read the guidelines before submitting your Architectural Control Committee application. You can review a copy online at TownSq https://app.townsq.io/login under documents. All applications can take up to 30 business days before an approval or denial is correspondent to a homeowner.
Lawn Maintenance in Cypress Mill
Have your lawn cut either by yourself or a hired landscaper. Please do not put your grass clippings out on the sidewalk until trash days, Monday, or Thursday. We are getting complaints of homeowners putting out grass clippings before trash days. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
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.
Fitness Room Safety Rule
No one under 18 years of age is allowed in the fitness room at any time. If you are found in the fitness room your access card will be deactivated and you will have to come in front of the Board of Directors to discuss reactivating the card. Please comply with the rules to ensure everyone's safety.
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 the constable dispatch at 281-376-3472 if any harassment issues or suspicious behavior arises.
