| Scooter
Update - Shady
Brook Trail is the city park that runs through our neighborhood. The
trail is used by our older residents, young
children, parents pushing baby strollers, dogs on leashes, etc.
Due to increased scooter traffic on the hike & bike
trail, the City of Plano has found it necessary to install NO MOTORIZED VEHICLE signs in the park. |
| Please help to keep the peaceful
surroundings for this beautiful neighborhood & safety for all residents
by keeping motorized vehicles on the street
and out of the park. See
http://www.plano.gov/Departments/ParksandRecreation/Parks_Facilities/rules.htm
for details. |
| Inspections -
Our management company (CMA) does regular inspections to check on things
such as maintenance needs of common areas, landscaping needs, etc. CMA
also notes violations of our neighborhood restrictions on how we use &
maintain individual property, and appropriate advisory letters are sent
to homeowners in violation of restrictions. The use of your own property
is governed by our Declaration of Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions
(CC&R's). Violations can include any number of things such as
unauthorized signage, debris, and even boat or construction trailers
parked visible from the street. (See your CC&R’s at Article 6 for the
“big list” of prohibited uses). While these restrictions are not always
enforced with an “iron fist,” we do ask CMA to notify residents as soon
as they see a violation, or when a neighbor advises them of a violation.
If non-compliance problems are persistent, further actions are possible. |
| If you know you will be in
temporary violation of any restrictions, please call CMA at (972)
934-0400 to let them know in advance of an inspection. This also helps
when a neighbor calls with a complaint. While we never want to assume
any violation is intended to be a permanent situation, we also want to
make sure that our owners are advised as soon as possible when there is
an infringement so they can take appropriate action to remedy
problems. |

Creek Alert! -
Much of the area along the creek paths
is preserved in a "natural state". These wooded areas will almost
certainly be home to some of Texas's many varieties of poisonous snakes. |
| Please take care when walking near any of
our natural areas, especially if walking a
pet. Those in the know advise you keep pets on a close lead when walking
in or near areas that might be habitat for snakes or other wildlife that
might be harmful to pets or humans. |

Bobcats
have also been seen in the area; they have been known to eat small dogs
and cats - do keep an eye (and leash) on your pet! There are quite a few
bobcats out this year. |
