Safety Concerns

The CMHOA Board wants to keep our neighborhood safe for all of our homeowners. The following items are reminders for each of us. If you have an item to be included, please contact SBB Management.

Crime Awareness - An important way to help deter crime is to keep garage doors closed when you are away from the garage for any length of time.

Weekend and After-School Issues - Please be a responsible parent. Keep your children and teenagers from playing in the street! Park area is available at the corner of Windridge Lane and Dixon Road.

Street Lighting - Please report non-working street lighting to TXU Electric Delivery or contact SBB Management.

Residential Street Parking - While residential street parking is not prohibited, it is in our best interest to keep our streets clear to allow emergency vehicles ready access to our homes. Also, please ensure that your vehicle does not extend over the sidewalk - this is a TOFM restriction.

Resident Vehicular Parking - As warmer weather is here, additional vehicles begin appearing in the neighborhood - boats, RVs, golf carts, campers, trailers, etc. The current CMHOA DCC&R* states that these types of vehicles and non-operational (defined as stored under a tarpaulin for longer than 14 days) vehicles 'shall be parked only in enclosed garages or other areas, if screened from view from all streets'.

As homeowners, we must follow the CMHOA DCC&R*. Please arrange to keep your home in compliance with our current Covenant.

Neighborhood Issues

Yard Signage - The current CMHOA DCC&R* states that the only yard signage allowed is for home sale. Please remove any other yard signage.

Sports Equipment - Please ensure that all sports equipment; basketball goals, hockey goals, skateboarding ramps, etc., is removed from the street and sidewalk areas each evening. Blocking our streets is illegal and does not allow emergency vehicles ready access.

Pet Awareness - Each pet owner is responsible for the actions of their pet. This includes clean-up while walking your pet, loose pets, and noise issues. Be responsible pet owners!

If you have a problem with a barking dog or loose animal, contact Animal Services at 972.874.6390 or the FMPD at 972.539.0525 (non-emergency)

Construction Update for the Victory Park Development - April 2007

Construction of the Firestone Auto Center is continuing, as well as, road development through the property utilizing the existing curb cuts at the Valvoline and continuing south and east exiting onto Morriss Road. A buffer area will exist between Country Meadow Drive and the development. The developer has agreed to preserve the east Country Meadow monument sign.

Per Town of Flower Mound, the only construction access is off FM407; any other access is a violation. If this occurs and it is observed, please note a truck number, license plate number, contractor name, photograph, etc. and forward it to the Board at board@countrymeadow.org; notification to the Police can also be made. The tire marks on the curbs and ruts in the grass make it obvious that construction vehicles have used Country Meadow Drive as the construction entrance/exit for the ongoing work. This has been addressed with the TOFM and the contractor. Temporary construction fencing will be installed from the Country Meadow monument sign to the existing fence located at 2501 Cross Haven Drive.

Standard construction hours are between 7am - 7pm Monday through Friday and 9am - 5pm Saturday. Work on Sundays or legal holidays is not be done without the written consent of the Town Engineer except for work done in connection with the care, maintenance, or protection of equipment or already completed work or to correct conditions that are unsafe to the public. Due to the hours noted, if this is observed, please notify the Police.

The following items were APPROVED at the 04/09/07 Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting:

Replat RP 04-07 - replat to reconfigure Lot 4
SUP/SP 325-05 - Construction of Absolute Self-Storage; 198-unit mini-storage facility. Hours of operation from 6am - 9pm, Sunday - Saturday. Outside storage will not be permitted, including recreational vehicle and motor home storage. A 10'-6" masonry wall will be construction around the perimeter of this property.
SP 13-07 - removal of five specimen-type trees

It is important to realize that the P&Z meetings are the first homeowner notification and your voice will be heard - both pro and con.

The Board will continue to forward available information to our neighborhood. For further site specific information, contact the TOFM Case Manager Denice Thomas at 972.874.6344 or email denice.thomas@flower-mound.com.
