The Villages of Westcreek is now on Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, you can look us up and “like” our Facebook page to receive updates and information about your community.

Standards Tips

Two of the most common complaints that we receive at the VWOA offices are for the control of pets and loud noise. The Bexar County Leash Law does apply here in the Villages of Westcreek. All pets (this includes cats) are to be on a leash if they are not inside of the house or kept in a fenced in yard. In the January 2012 Standards for Architectural Design and Maintenance, the subject of noise is addressed. The quiet hours in the Villages of Westcreek are between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. The noise standard is for barking dogs, loud music and parties. The offending household will be mailed a Courtesy Letter. Further violations could lead to a loss of privileges by the Board of Directors for up to 60 days.

Even though we have had a lot of rain recently, the Stage Two Water Restrictions are still in effect. These rules are set by SAWS and the City of San Antonio.

With the recent rain we had last week, there was also high winds and some hail. Please check your home for any roof or structural damage to include your wooden fences.

Keep Westcreek Beautiful.  Do not litter. Please take a moment to dispose of any litter you may find.

Public Safety Tip

As the weather has gotten warmer, there are more people who are walking, jogging or running along our streets and sidewalks. Drivers please be aware of these activities and use caution when driving through the Villages of Westcreek. The marked lanes on Military Drive West and Westcreek Oaks Drive are actually for the shoulder of the road, these are not a marked bike lane or running path. Walker, joggers and runners should be using the sidewalks that are provided throughout the Villages of Westcreek and not the street. Bicycle riders should be riding to the far right side of the street and obey all traffic laws and rules of the road, just as if you were operating a motor vehicle.

The use of off road vehicles (motorcycles, ATV’s and etc.) is prohibited within the Villages of Westcreek. This includes the Sports Park and all of the wooded areas adjacent to the Community Center, The Highpoint Village and the Estates Village. The association will prosecute for trespassing and any property damage.

Upcoming Meetings:

Pool hours are posted on the premises.

b. Guests of members/residents must register and pay a $3 fee per day upon entrance to the pool.
c. When an unaccompanied person under (12) twelve years of age is found without a guardian 12 or older, an attempt will first be made
to contact the individual’s parents with a request to pick up the unaccompanied child. If the parents are unavailable, VWOA
authorized personnel will contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department for assistance. The Sheriff will be asked to pick up the child.
Siblings caring for other siblings are to conduct themselves in a mannerly fashion. Those not adhering to rules and regulations will be
asked to leave the pool by VWOA authorized personnel. The Board will be notified. The family will be denied access to all pools for 30

our Facebook page to receive updates and information about your community.

Standards Tips

If you have a fence that backs up to a major road, where people walk by and you have a dog please check your fence
and make sure your dogs are not getting out through the fence. We have had several complaints recently about dogs
breaking through the fence and trying to bite people as they pass by. The fence slats may need to be nailed or screwed
back into place.

We are now in Stage Two Water Restrictions, if you follow the rules and hand water occasionally you can
still maintain a healthy lawn. Just because we are in Stage Two does not mean you are excused from properly
maintaining your yard. Weeds will still grow without much water. Our standards do allow for other types of
ground cover, not just grass. Bare dirt and weeds do not qualify as a ground cover.

Our Standards do not allow for lost and found or bandit signs to be placed anywhere in our neighborhoods. This
is also against U.S. Postal regulations to place anything onto a mail box cluster. We do have a place on our web
site for lost and found. Go to www.villagesofwestcreek.com and leave an email for the Web Master and your
information will be placed onto the web site within 72 hours.

Window Air Conditioners are not allowed without Architectural Review Committee (ARC) approval. The
resident must show a medical necessity for their use and if allowed they are only to be installed on side or rear
windows of a residence.

Keep Westcreek Beautiful. Do not litter. Please take a moment to dispose of any litter you may find.

Public Safety Tip
As we work and clean up around our homes, please check for any dead brush, cut branches or leaves that could
pose a fire threat. Most of the trash companies will take these items if they are cut up and in three foot bundles
or if they will fit into the portable trash can you are issued. Be Fire Wise and clear any dead brush or branches
from around your home. Most of the Villages of Westcreek is adjacent to a Green Belt and the vegetation
in this Green Belt is very dry right now, so we need to take care of the areas that we are responsible for as
homeowners.

If you a have a tree in your yard that appears to be dead, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to have the
tree removed. There are several trees within the Villages of Westcreek that appear to have not survived the
drought we have had the last couple of years. By this time of the year all of the leaves should be green. If the
tree were to fall and strike someone or neighbor’s home, the homeowner of the tree could be held liable for any
injuries or damage because he or she did not take care of the dead tree ahead of time.

Standards Tips
Our standards allow for grass height up to five (5) inches. A lot of our residents make the mistake of scalping

their lawns when they mow because they think this will help satisfy the standard requirements. When you do
this, the only thing you are doing is putting unnecessary stress on your lawn and this will keep it from growing
properly. With improper mowing and the drought we have had, this is what has led to the large amount of
weeds that we had earlier this spring. You should only mow one-third of your grass each time you cut, this also
depends on the type of turf you have. Our standards do require some type of ground cover; you cannot have
just dirt for your yard. Other alternatives to grass are available such as Xeriscaping, hard cover, smaller grass
area etc.

The Standards for Architectural Design and Property Maintenance allow for easement access: Members of
the Board of Directors and the Architectural Review Committee, as well as the Superintendent of Standards,
Standards Compliance Monitors and those that are responsible for managing the Villages of Westcreek, have
a legally established permanent easement access to enter upon any and all residential properties within the
Villages of Westcreek to verify compliance with the CC&Rs and Standards. Except for circumstances involving
safety or health concerns, the VWOA associates mentioned above will make every attempt to obtain the
resident’s approval before entering the property beyond the fencing.

Keep Westcreek Beautiful. Do not litter. Please take a moment to dispose of any litter you may find.

Public Safety Tip
A community as large as the Villages of Westcreek is a representative or a Micro-Community of our
metropolitan area population. In our community we have people from different backgrounds, experiences,
nationalities. Several residents have recently contacted the VWOA Office because they have become aware of
a sex offender in their neighborhood. If you go to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Public Sex Offender
area of their web site and look up the 78253 zip code you will find there are 38 offenders for our Zip Code, 10
of them live in Westcreek. The association cannot dictate who lives in the Villages of Westcreek.

In observance of Earth Day 2012, did you know that our standards allow for our home owners to go green if they choose to do so? Our standards do allow for artificial turf, solar power, wind turbines, rain barrels, metal roofs (must have the appearance of composite shingles) and Xeriscaping. As with any major outside improvement or change you must apply to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) with a Property Improvement Application (PIA) for approval prior to starting any work. For further information refer to the Standards for Architectural Design and Maintenance, January 2012 on our web site or you can obtain a copy at the VWOA Office.

Currently our Standards Monitors are going through their areas of assignment and leaving a standard courtesy letter for each property that borders a common fence on a major thoroughfare or greenbelt area. The Villages of Westcreek does not own any fence that is on private property, it is the responsibility of the owner to maintain his or her fence. This letter gives you some suggestions on what to look for and we will allow thirty days for repairs to be made. After thirty days the Standards Monitors will come back and leave a Courtesy Notice for any fence that needs repairs.

Keep Westcreek Beautiful.  Do not litter. Please take a moment to dispose of any litter you may find.

Public Safety Tip

At our Annual Meeting last week it was suggested by some of the residents that we list at least the Villages that are having the incidents of crime as they are reported to the VWOA Office for Our Crime Alerts. Two weeks ago in the Reserves the front door of a home was broken into with a sledge hammer while the residents were gone for approximately thirty minutes. Several weeks ago two houses in the Highpoint Village were broken into and items were stolen from the house. If you choose to go with an alarm system, make sure you are using a company that is licensed, insured and bonded in the State of Texas.

For important papers, jewelry, external hard drive computer backup, family heirlooms and etc. you may want to consider a Safety Deposit Box and remove these items entirely from your home. It is also a good idea to have a property inventory with pictures or video of your property. In the event of theft or fire you would have a way to describe those items that were stolen or damaged. Deputy Banillia with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department has already confirmed he will be coming out to our annual picnic on Saturday, May 19, 2012 from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM. You will be able to get more crime prevention tips from him and sign up for a free home security survey conducted by the Sheriff’s Department. This survey could possibly lower you home owner’s insurance premiums if you follow their tips and suggestions
