Wood Glen

Official Publication of the Wood Glen Property Owners Association October 2014 - Volume 8, Issue 10

Remember our joint Wood Glen/Hidden Glen Fall Garage Sale is scheduled for Saturday October 11 from 8 am – 12 noon. This is an opportunity for everyone to host their own garage sale to clear out their old stuff. With everyone coordinating their sales on the same day, we can draw a larger group of buyers. Also, Oktoberfest sponsored by Lisa Hassel, Realtor®, and cosponsored by Tucker Engineering will be on Saturday October 25 from 4 – 7 pm at the Amenity Center. The Social Committee is organizing a BBQ competition and other festivities. If you are interested in entering or helping out, send an email to Anna Warren ([email protected]).

The board received some feedback regarding the proposed xeriscaping rules and is currently working on revising those rules to take the comments into account. When we get closer to a final draft of the revised rules, I will make those available to the community for review. The board also received a lot of comments regarding the proposed RV parking rules. As a result, the board now has a better understanding of typical RV usage patterns, and it was proposed that we put the RV rules on hold. I want to remind everyone of the CC&Rs regarding RV, trailer, and boat parking. Article X, Section 10 covers Storage of Boats, Trailers, and other Vehicles and Equipment and prohibits the storage of these vehicles in the neighborhood unless they are stored behind a fence constructed for such purpose and approved by the modifications committee. Further, storage is defined as “parking without movement for a period or forty eight (48) hours or more during a period of seven (7) consecutive days.“ It is also noted that removal for short periods shall not affect the running time periods. Furthermore, while the CC&Rs do not

prohibit parking of RVs and the like in the street, city ordinances state that it is unlawful to park vehicles over 20 feet in length in the street under certain circumstances, such as overnight and unattended. Since Wood Glen currently has no rules to prevent parking in the street, we cannot send violation notices for parking an RV in street to a homeowner. The only remedy available is for Round Rock Police to issue a warning or citation.

The management company (CMA) is tasked with enforcement of violations of the CC&Rs, rules and policies of Wood Glen. Enforcement is accomplished according to a policy that includes notices and fines for violations. Under certain circumstances, as outlined in the CC&Rs and the Forced Mow Policy, Wood Glen POA can step in and correct an ongoing violation with any costs for the correction being charged back to the home owner. Generally, this works fairly well. However, there are some challenges. First, our ability to correct an ongoing violation is limited by our policy and by state law for the protection of the homeowners. The result is the ongoing violation needs to be ongoing for many months before Wood Glen POA can take action. This is not very helpful when a home is unoccupied and no one is maintaining the lawn. Sometimes it is also a challenge to identify the correct homeowner. For example, it can be difficult for CMA to identify who’s trashcans that are left by the curb when they are placed at the edge of the property or the trash collectors move them during their collection rounds. Contacting CMA by email ([email protected]) or by phone (512.339.6962) can usually resolve most issues with violation notices being sent to the wrong homeowner.

Late summer into fall, people may notice tiny insects that are mottled grayish-brown collecting near windows, especially if hackberry trees are nearby. Hackberry psyllids (pronounced sill-ids) look like tiny cicadas and are actually closely related to them. Adults are about 1/8 an inch long.

Another name for hackberry psyllids is hackberry nipple gall maker. Adults lay their eggs on hackberry leaves in the spring. When eggs hatch, the psyllid feeds on the leaf and the leaf responds by developing a small pocket around the insect. The pocket is called a gall. Hackberry trees do not show long term damage from the galls or feeding of the psyllids, but the galls can make the tree unsightly.

These insects are not harmful to humans or companion animals. In the fall, the insects are searching for overwintering sites. They normally overwinter under the bark of trees, but sometimes they will utilize whatever crack or crevice they can find. This, along with the psyllids being attract to lights at night, can lead them near doors and windows and sometimes they end up inside the home.

To manage fall invasion of hackberry psyllids:• Use fine mesh (18) screening.• Reduce outdoor lighting or use bulbs that are less attractive

to insects.• Use sealant to seal cracks and crevices.• Insects that find their way indoors can be vacuumed up.
