REMINDERS

Pet Waste – a huge thank you to all the residents who are picking up their pet’s waste when out walking.  However, it has been reported that some residents are leaving the bags in common areas rather than placing them in the trash receptacles that the Association installed for that purpose. Please

School Bus Stops – Trespassing & Vandalism - just a reminder to please speak to your children about respecting property and about the consequences of trespassing and vandalism.  There have been reports of damage to fence pickets, yards, and basketball goals from property owners near bus stops.  Please remind the kids that they should remain on the sidewalk while waiting for the bus and promptly head to their after-school destination when exiting the bus rather than loitering in neighbor’s yards.  Thank you so much!

School Buses & Street Trees – We have received communication from Katy ISD and Lamar Consolidated ISD bus drivers regarding challenges they have experienced due to overhanging tree limbs along the roadways in Westheimer Lakes. These obstructions have impacted bus drivers’ visibility, created difficulties with their routes, and posed a safety risk—students have even reported being scratched or poked by low-hanging limbs while boarding or exiting the bus.

To ensure clear and safe passage for all school buses, we kindly request everyone's cooperation in trimming any tree branches that extend into the roadway, as soon as possible.

If you are planning to remove a street tree (trees located between the sidewalk and the curb), please remember that an Exterior Modification Request must be submitted and approved before removal. Once removed, all stumps must be taken out and the area should be sodded over.

We’re happy to assist with questions about the tree trimming guidelines or the modification request process. You can reach us at 281-394-5961 or wln@westheimerlakespoa.com.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Together, we can contribute to the safety and well-being of our community and support a smooth start to the school year.

Speeding – please be mindful of children, pets, and pedestrians when driving through the community.  Please pay attention to the posted speed limit signs and refrain from speeding through the neighborhood. 

Gate Access – There is no need to visit the office for EZ tag registration (unless you want to say hi!), simply submit this form and your tag will be registered.  The system update for EZ tag registration is typically completed within 24-28 hours.

Parking Policy - As stated in the Westheimer Lakes parking policy, street parking is not allowed in Westheimer Lakes. You may only park a vehicle on the street if your garage and driveway are full.  You can contact Delaney at wln@westheimerlakespoa.com with any questions or to report a parking violation.

Architectural Committee - As stated in Section 2.1 of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, any changes to the exterior of your home must be approved by the Association prior to work commencing.  You can submit an exterior modification request through the Crest Management portal. This includes but is not limited to the construction of a new fence, roof replacement, painting, installation of an outbuilding, driveway modifications, tree removal, etc. Please note that only cedar wood pickets are permitted for fencing and fence staining is not allowed. Contact wln@westheimerlakespoa.com for assistance.

Deed Restriction Enforcement – Please remember the following:

·       Landscaping – please remember that regular mowing, edging and weeding of the yard and trimming of the trees and shrubs are required within the community.  Also, please be sure to provide the grass with adequate water, sun and nutrients to promote growth.

·       Trash – this includes trash and trash/recycling receptacles being stored in public view (anywhere visible when driving down the street).  Trash should only be placed out at the curb the evening before trash collection and receptacles should be stored back out of view the same day trash is collected.

·       Exterior Maintenance – this includes the siding of the homes needing either repair, replacement, cleaning, or painting.  This also includes repairs needed such as roofs, gutters, windows, shutters, fences, or brick. 

·       Stored Items – storing of items in public view is not permitted.  This includes (but is not limited to) coolers, buckets, yard equipment, bags of dirt or mulch, an excess of potted plants, children’s toys, etc.

·       Vehicles – this includes the storage of inoperable vehicles (if they are on jacks or have stops being the tires; if they have any flat tires; or if they have expired tags.  We can also tell if a vehicle is stored if there is a large amount of grass growth underneath them), the storage of trailers, boats or other vehicles.  This also includes parking of commercial and recreational vehicles.

·       Signage – posting of signs, other than For Rent or For Sale signs and political signs during an election, is not permitted. 

·       Pets – the governing documents require that all pets be contained on the Lot or on a leash at all times.  Excessive noise or smell is not permitted – you must clean up after your pets, not only when walking them through the community, but also on your own property.  Lastly, you must keep pets from making noise that could disturb your neighbors.

·       Holiday Decorations - holiday decorations must be removed in a timely manner following each holiday.

Westheimer Lakes POA does have a fining policy, so please make sure you are aware of everything that it entails.  All of the Association’s governing documents can be viewed at Westheimer Lakes Property Owners Association | Crest Management (scroll down and click on the Governing Documents drop down menu).  If you should need clarification or assistance with any deed restriction letters you have received, please reach out to the Assistant Community Manager, Delaney, at wln@westheimerlakespoa.com or 281-394-5961.
