DEED RESTRICTIONS STRICTLY ENFORCED

News and Upcoming Events.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please note. Due to torrential rains following Hurricane "IKE" the clubhouse flooded again. Consequently the clubhouse will be closed until further notice as we seek a solution to the drainage issues and initiate repairs.

The pavilion attached to the clubhouse remains available.

A drainage plan has been created by our PUD and will be presented to Harris County for approval. A combination of drains and swales will be installed behind and alongside the clubhouse to drain or move the water away from the clubhouse to the county storm drain across Colony Creek Drive. When this is completed we will then do the necessary repairs to the clubhouse.

Mark your calendars. This is a event you don't want to miss . . .

Saturday November 1st

CCVCA FALL FESTIVAL

We will have our annual Colony Creek Fall Festival on November 1st from 4-6PM.  We will have pony rides, a petting zoo, a clown, 3 different moonwalks, and a special visit from the Houston Aeros.  They will bring Chilly (their mascot), a couple of cheerleaders, and people that will do street hockey with our kids.  The parking lot will be closed off, so you will need to park on the street.  To avoid traffic problems, please pay attention to the "no parking" signs we will have out so we are all parking on the same side of the street.  We will have a "drop off" zone in front of the parking lot.

I think we have all seen the need for charity in our area in recent weeks and we would like to ask all of you to participate in collecting items for the Star of Hope Women and Children's Center and the NAM food pantry.  We will accept at our curbside drop off all non-perishable food items and anything from the "urgent needs" list which can be found under "giving" at SOHmission.org.  The Children's Courtyard has volunteered buses to deliver what we collect.  If you belong to any groups - please ask them to collect as well.  Every charity in town is suffering from reduced donations right now.  We aren't asking for your money, just any extra food in your pantry or your children's gently used clothing, shoes, or other things they have outgrown.  They are really in need of coats, sweater, jackets, and blankets with the cooler weather coming.

As a special bonus...the Houston Aeros have donated game tickets for us to give away so as you drop off your donation, make sure you fill out an entry form!  The winner will be notified after the festival.

We will have a popcorn machine and drinks at the Festival, but I am hoping some of our fabulous neighborhood bakers will help out by making cupcakes or cookies and bringing them for our kiddos to snack on.  Please let me know if you can help!

We are so fortunate to have several Girl and Boy Scout groups helping us out for this event.  If you have a Scout in need of community service hours and would like to have them come and help - please contact me!

I hope all of our Colony Creek Village families will come out and enjoy this fun event. 

Thanks!

 Thanks to the Children's Courtyard for transportation of collected items

" We would like to offer our bus or, hopefully, buses to transport the collected items to NAM and the Star of Hope.
 
We will also ask our parents to contribute and collect at them at the center."

 

If you don't have any of those items, we will also be more than happy to take any non-perishable food items.  Those will go directly to the local food bank at NAM.  As we get together and enjoy this great neighborhood event - let's think of those less fortunate and see if we can do some good while we are having tons of fun!

DRY RETENTION POND to FAMILY PARK

is just about 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 will come shortly. 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.

Dear Colony Creek Homeowners,

I didn't mention previously that if you have a teen in
our directory, or wish to have your teen listed in our
jobs directory (babysitting, pet-sitting, etc.),
please send me any update on your teen.

Also, if your teen has had a birthday/change of age
this is only updated at the parent's request.
Information about our teens is NOT published without
parental consent so please don't be mad if I contact
you from time to time to verify (It really is for your
child's protection and your peace of mind).

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for
making Colony Creek the best place to live!

Warmly,

Seth J. Batiste

August Minutes

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 CIA 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 CIA Services as soon as you receive the letter or you may e-mail them at piper@ciaservices.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.
