Join the Yahoo Group -- "bvsneighbors"

 BVSHOA has a Yahoo Group that is a mini Craig's List without the bogus ads!  You can find things you need and get rid of things you don't.  It's a great source for finding dependable businesses and contractors, asking for advice, or finding lost pets or owners of lost pets.  In short, if you have a question ask a neighbor.  Maybe you'll be the one with the answers!

 

It's easy to join:  go to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for an invitation to join.  The process is easy.  You do, however, have to be an HOA member.  If you need a membership form click on "Join us now!" on the front page menu print out a membership form, and send it in with your $25 dues payment.

 

 

 
Neighborhood Watch

 Neighborhood Watch

BV/S HOA is excited to announce our Naighborhood Watch Program.  We have already signed up several block captains, but we need more! Block captain duties include communicating (via email) notable events on your block, and serving as a point person for neighbors to report issus/concerns in the neighborhood.  The area of responsibility can be as little as our neighbors across the street and next door, or as large as your entire block.  Block captains will work with the HOA board on initiatives deemed important by the neighborhood.

BVSHOA Semi-Annual Garage Sales

 Your HOA sponsors two garage sales each year, one in May and a second in September.  They are scheduled for the 3rd Saturday of the month.  The HOA puts signs around the neighborhood and advertises in the Statesman and Greater NW News.  We set the start time at 8:00 AM and leave the ending time each participant.  We will set the following Saturday as a rain date.  You are welcome to put your own signs up if you like.

The spring 2012 garage sale will be May 19th.

 
Architecture Control Committee (ACC)

What is the ACC and how does it affect you and your property?  What are the specific deed restrictions on your property and why are they important to you and your neighbors?

ACC decisions on property improvements are available to the HOA members in a special section called ACC Actions

Deed Restrictions: Yes, we have them!

If you didn't know they exist or you aren't sure what they are, check out the deed restrictions that apply to your particular property.  You can find your property section number (they're all a bit different) and read your deed restrictions by clicking on "Architecture Control Committee" to the left of this message and following the directions.

 
Deed Restriction Enforcement Policy Actions

All of the homeowners in the Balcones/Village Spicewood area were sent a copy of Enforcement Policy that was approved by the Home Owners Association Board of Directors in response to complaints by a number of homeowners in the area about deed restriction violations and requests that the Home Owners Association do something to help maintain the character and integrity of the neighborhood.

In the recent newsletter that was sent out, it was mentioned that the board was pursuing Enforcement Policy actions with 5 homeowners in the area.  Two of those have since been satisfactorily resolved, but three are still in process.

Today, May 17th, one of the homeowners involved made a posting on the yahoo group.  Much of what was posted was not complete nor accurate.  In response, the following was posted to the yahoo group by Pat Zigrossi, President of the HOA Board.

Response to May 17th Brink Cobb posting on Yahoo Group  

Earlier, there had been a letter to the attorney that is representing the HOA Board in this matter from an attorney claiming to represent some of the homeowners in the area, including the three properties where there is still no resolution regarding the deed restriction violations.  To help put some perspective on this situation, a copy of the response sent by the HOA attorney is also shown below.

Response from Armbrust & Brown to Connie Heyer 

Because these situations are involved with a legal process, we have been advised by our attorney to not discuss them, however, these notes should help provide some information on the nature of the issue and the current status.

 
BVSHOA By-Laws
