is completed. Please stop by and use your new park. It's at the end of Colony Creek Drive at Colony Cove. It's designed to be family friendly with a meandering path with foot bridge. Landscaping with shrubs, trees and flowers have been installed. As time permits the funds to accrue there will be additions of benches and light exercise ( stretching ) apparatus scattered through out the park. Thanks to the CCVCA Board of Directors for the many, many hours devoted to make this project happen.

It's important for our residents to take action if you see something that isn't right. Our community has a contract with the Harris County Sheriff's department, not the constable or the Houston Police Department. If you see an emergency call 911, or a non emergency call 713-221-6000. Please call these numbers first before you call one of the board members or type to the chatter group. 

It is illegal to park a commercial vehicle over 1 ton in our community between the hours of 10pm and 6am. 

DEED RESTRICTIONS

A message from YOUR President about deed restrictions:

Greetings From Your President, Danny Woods  

                        The thoughts I wish to express, in this article have to do with Deed Restriction violations and the Boards efforts to enforce them. Why do we have deed restrictions you ask? It is the only way our subdivision can maintain its standards and keep property values high since there are no zoning ordinances in this area. When Colony Creek/Champion Woods was first developed, a set of Deed Restrictions was established for the community. It is our job as members of the Board of Directors to enforce them, which in some cases is a difficult job to do. Each type of violation, regardless of weather it is a missing fence picket or a house that need painting, must be treated in the same manner.

Have you also considered how much it cost YOU to have the Deed Restrictions enforced, as the money used by the Association is the money you pay each year in maintenance fees?

            Every other week our subdivision is inspected by an Independent contractor whose job it is to uncover new violations and monitor existing violations. The inspector does not live in the subdivision nor do they work for Spectrum Association Management Services or Colony Creek, therefore they can be completely impartial with each resident.

Some violations are minor and are very inexpensive to correct. Let’s take a single missing picket for instance. The replacement cost is approximately $1.50 on the high side. The first thing that is done is to notify the homeowner, of the violation. Cost: $.37. If the violation is not corrected, the next letter cost us $4.94, because it, as required by law, be mailed via certified mail and regular mail. If the violation continues to be ignored and a third letter is mailed, this costs us $.52. At this point you can see that if the home owner has not fixed his fence We (YOU and I) have spent enough money to replace 3 1/2 of them. If the problem persists and the Association must employ legal counsel to pursue the violation further, the costs we have to bear can run from $60.00 to $700.00. All because someone did not think it important enough to spend $1.50 to repair one missing fence picket.

            The Board of Directors faces tough choices each month when it comes to deed restriction enforcement and it is not something that we like to do, but if necessary we will do whatever is necessary to protect your property values and ensure the Colony Creek is a nice place to live.

            The solution is simple, if you receive a violation letter, please correct the violation in a timely manor. If you cannot correct the problem in the timeframe given, don’t agree that the violation exists or have other extenuating circumstances, please pick up the phone and contact Spectrum Association Management as soon as you receive the letter or you may e-mail them at Jroberson@spectrumam.com  or click the feedback button above. If we do not hear from you we must assume that you have no interest in correcting the problem. All we ask is that you communicate with the Board your needs and we will do our best to help you solve the problem.
