Covenant Compliance Committee (C3) News!

Things You May Not Know

1. Any vehicle, camper, or trailer that is parked on the street or alleyway must be kept operational. If found to be non-operational, it is a matter for the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), not Code Compliance or Covenant Compliance. Please use the non-emergency police number, 224-1411, when reporting such violations. I have experienced very prompt attention by the SAPD as well as excellent results.

2. In most cases, a homeowner is responsible for maintaining the area from their home out to the middle of the street or alleyway which borders the property. However, if a property has an alleyway behind the home and it is adjacent to a city road, the homeowner is responsible for the area from the house, across the entire alleyway, and up to the road or sidewalk. For example, those living in even numbered addresses on Thistle Down have the alleyway behind their homes running parallel to Uhr Lane. They are, therefore, responsible for maintaining the area from their house up the sidewalk that is adjacent to Uhr Lane. This includes responsibility for mowing of the grass between the alleyway and that sidewalk.

Volunteers Needed

We are in search of volunteers to serve on the Covenant Compliance Committee (C3). We need a chairperson, and we need individuals that could spare a couple of hours 3 times a year to perform a C3 survey. This would involve driving throughout the neighborhood and listing violations of the restrictive covenants which need to be addressed. If we get 3-4 more volunteers the frequency we would need your help would be only twice a year. If you are interested in volunteering for the C3 or if you need more information before making a decision, please call Jerry Smith or Mike Gallagher. Your time and help will be greatly appreciated.

Big Changes came in January 2006!

The Covenant Compliance Committee (C3) changed the process by which it enforces the restrictive covenants, effective January 2006. Currently, the committee provides the homeowner with three letters notifying the homeowner of the violation and requesting action be taken to remedy the situation. In order to streamline this process, beginning with the January 2006 survey, only one such letter will be sent to the homeowner. If the violation is not corrected, and the homeowner has not contacted the Homeowners Association to request a meeting within the time stated in the letter, the case will immediately be referred to the Association's attorneys for legal action.
