Timberwood Park Owners Association, Inc. Vol. 15 Issue 2 A Neighborhood News ™ Publication FEBRUARY 2015 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello Fellow Timberwoodeans. Hopefully everyone had a Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year’s. It’s time to get back into the swing of things and start the New Year. A few quick updates of some new items in the park; the basketball court lights have been improved and no longer shine into the face of the players. The inlet on the west side of the lake was filled with silt so the area was cleaned and the silt removed. A new fence was installed around the new playground equipment. The clubhouse has been improved with new ceiling fans and some new furniture and the ping pong table has been repaired. Some additional upcoming maintenance projects for the park include replacing the old filtering system for the pool, and repairing the kiddie splash pad. We have put off replacing the filtering system for three years now by repairing as needed, but the filters are dated and in need of replacement. The new filtering system will have automatic chemical release equipment for more consistent performance. The splash pad formed a leak under it last summer, so this also needs repair. After the TPOA election in December, the newly elected HOA Board met in January and appointed the board officer positions for this year. The officers for this year are: President – Scott Myles, Vice-President – Doug Eberle, Treasurer – Craig Zenner, and Secretary – Greg Matula. One of the great things about Timberwood is our strong sense of community. Do you know your next door neighbors? How about the person across the street from you, or on the lot behind you? Hopefully you do know them. With the addition of over 50 new homes in the community last year and many new residents buying existing homes, we have many new folks in the neighborhood. Did you know that Timberwood Park has a Neighborhood Watch program? I want to share some information about this program. Timberwood Park has been fortunate in the past years with respect to our low crime rate and we want to keep it that way. One of the ways we do this is with a strong Neighborhood Watch Program. Neighborhood Watch is a program that enlists volunteer residents to keep watch on the community and enlists the help of residents that want to be hubs of their smaller area of the neighborhood. These folks are called Block Captains. Block Captains share information via E-mail with the residents in their area. The number of Block Captains will determine the size of the area that they cover; the more Captains, the smaller the area. Occasionally, they meet at the clubhouse to discuss aspects of the program and any crime information. The Block captains, then share this information with the folks in their area. The program also promotes residents knowing who their neighbors are and keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. Over the past several years, Herb Finmark has been the Neighborhood Watch chairperson. I’d like to thank Herb for his years of volunteer work for the community. Beginning this year, we have new chairpersons, Fanita and David Barkalow. I’d like to thank them in advance for taking on this role. The first order of business for them is to collect the info for any individuals that are currently Block Captain’s, and for anyone that wants to become a new Block Captain. The goal is to get as many block captains as possible. If you want to get involved in the community and join this group, please send your name, address, and e-mail address to [email protected]. Once they have the info, they will begin the process of establishing the coverage areas and contacting residents. There will be more information to come regarding Neighborhood Watch. If you decide to be a part of this group; Thank You! Have a great end of winter season. Scott Myles President TPOA 2015 Board Meeting Dates All Meetings are held at 7:00PM at the Clubhouse at the Park. February 3 April 7 June 2 August 4 October 6 Violation Letters Not Always Reason to Fret One of the more common issues brought up to TPOA Board members by homeowners is violation letters for deed restriction infractions. While this may not be the most pleasant piece of mail to open, it is not necessarily a reason to fret. our neighborhood clean, the process dictates that a letter is sent to the property owner. The letter states that the violation must be corrected within 10 days of receipt of the letter. If a resident receives a violation letter, it is up to the resident to notify Spectrum that the infraction has been corrected, or when it will be corrected. The Site Manger will do a follow-up inspection to see if the infraction has been resolved, and if it has not, a fine process commences. The authority for the Association to impose fines for deed restriction violations is in the TPOA’s Articles of Incorporation that was put in place by the Board members who oversaw the changeover from Timberwood Development Corp. to TPOA in October 2010. As a brief reminder of how the process works, TPOA contracts with Spectrum Association Management to have an inspector (Site Manager) drive the entire neighborhood twice a month. The Site Manger looks for violations of deed restrictions that are visible from the road – the Site Manager is not allowed to go onto anybody’s property and does not do so. If the Site Manager identifies a violation(s), it is documented, a picture is taken of the violation, and the specific deed restriction(s) is referenced, that is allegedly being violated. The information is compiled into a letter, which is sent to the property owner. Another important thing to keep in mind is that Timberwood Park has 64 different units, each of which has its own specific deed restrictions, so it is possible that a violation in one part of the neighborhood may not be a violation in another part of the neighborhood. With all of that said, the best course of action if you receive a violation letter is to rectify the issue(s) referenced in the letter and contact Spectrum within the designated timeframe to let them know that the issues have been resolved. There is absolutely no penalty or other consequence to the home or property owner at that point. If there are extenuating circumstances that might prevent you from rectifying the situation, or if you feel that you received the violation notice in error or dispute the reasons for receiving it, please still contact Spectrum and explain whatever the issues may be. TPOA’s expectation of Spectrum is to be as accommodating as possible. Timberwood Park has approximately 2,800 properties, so it takes the Site Manager three trips on average to cover the entire neighborhood. And what the Site Manager sees on his drives is simply a moment in time. For instance, if there is a pile of construction debris, brush or other refuse in front of a home, he really has no idea if it has been in place one day, one week or one month. Erring on the side of caution to keep Please keep in mind that this is an important effort that benefits our neighborhood as a whole. Not only does it help keep our neighborhood clean and presentable and protect property values, it helps ensure safety of properties. For instance, there are documented cases where loose brush and debris has washed into drainage culverts during heavy rains, and the result has been flooded homes. The vast majority of Timberwood Park property owners do abide by the deed restrictions. And those who may be out of compliance probably do so unknowingly, so this process helps remind them of their responsibilities. New Construction • Remodel So, if you do receive a violation letter, please don’t take it personally and please do take whatever action is necessary to resolve the situation.

If you witness any kids in the gym on or around the equipment, please remind them of the policy and ask them to leave, or alert one of the park caretakers so that they can do so. And if you witness a youth or anybody else causing damage to the equipment, it is especially important that you alert park personnel, and that somebody gets the names of the culprits so that they can be held accountable. The fitness center also has cameras in place that can help in that effort. Must be 16 or older to use gym equipment This is a reminder that the equipment in the fitness center is for use by individuals 16 years old and older. While the park and clubhouse are a great place for kids to gather and play, the fitness center is simply not one of them. The primary concern is for the safety of the kids as the weight and cardio equipment can present a significant injury risk. The secondary concern is for the safety of the equipment. There have been unfortunate instances where gym equipment has been damaged by youth who should not have been in the gym in the first place, and repairing this equipment can be quite costly to TPOA. Thank you for your cooperation and support in this effort! Based on the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, this is a strict policy, and violation of this policy can lead to suspension of park privileges. So if you have kids under age 16 who spend time at the park, please remind them to keep out of the fitness center. They are allowed to use the restrooms, but they must APPLE PEST CONTROL COME JOIN US FOR DINNER Initial home pest control service with this ad.

An effective neighborhood watch program can be an excellent deterrent to crime, it keeps neighbors informed on any criminal activity that may be occurring that they should be aware of, and it helps neighbors get to know each other better. The Neighborhood Watch program will now be directed by Fanita and David Barkalow, who generously volunteered to lead the effort. But we need watch captains for this program to be a success. As a watch captain for your block you will receive information going on around Timberwood, disperse it out to neighbors on your block, and periodically check in with neighbors to make sure all is well. So if you have been a watch captain in the past and are interested in continuing your participation, or if you are interested in signing up as a new watch captain, or if you would like to support the program in some other way to assist with keeping crime out of Timberwood, please e-mail Spectrum at [email protected] and include the words “Neighborhood Watch” in the subject line, or call them at 210.494.0659.

Your tree care person should adhere to these standards. What Personal Protective Equipment do your crews use and do you provide safety training for your crews? Tree maintenance workers are to follow the national ANSI Z.133 Safety Standards Tree maintenance can be very hazardous work. Verify your tree company has a safety program in place, and that they require the use of basic personal protective equipment, such as hardhat and safety glasses and if a chain saw is in operation, ear protection and chainsaw chaps. Do you have any references? Most reputable tree companies will gladly refer you to several addresses in your neighborhood and/or greater community where they have completed work. Does the individual who is providing the quote have a professional appearance? The person you are dealing with should be prompt, courteous, knowledgeable about your trees, and should provide you with a detailed written estimate outlining the work. Is the quote specific, clear and well written? Often the quality and specificity of the quote itself is an indication of professionalism.

The SAAA encourages its members to become certified with the ISA. Membership in such professional organizations is often a good indicator of skill on the part of your tree care individual or company. 4. Will the work be performed in accordance with the ANSI-A300 Standard? Just like electricians and plumbers, tree care professionals have a set of published standards that outline the right and wrong ways to conduct tree pruning and removals. These standards also include specifications for cabling, lightning protection, fertilization and more. In the San Antonio area, trees are often improperly pruned. Several of the most common improper pruning techniques are topping, stripping interior foliage, stubbing and “de-mossing”. These practices are in violation to the City of San Antonio’s Tree Preservation ordinance as they severely damage trees and in addition, often create a liability.

Oak Wilt Most communities including the City of San Antonio have an ordinance that all oak wounds including those from pruning, require painting within 30 minutes. This provision is the community’s primary tool in preventing the spread of the oak wilt disease. For more information, visit this website: http://www.texasoakwilt.org/ Vale n tine's Day Saturday, February 14 St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Very few facts are known about St. Valentine. He was a priest in Rome who was martyred about AD 269 and buried on the Via Flaminia (road leading from Rome over the Apennine Mountains). The most popular martyrology states that he was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 AD, a time when the church was enduring great persecution. His ministry was to help the Christians to escape this persecution, and to provide them the sacraments, such as marriage. The Roman Emperor Claudius II supposedly forbade marriages of soldiers in order to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. Bulk Trash Notification.

It’s best to get a lot of the gardening tasks done this time of year before the blistering heat of summer sets in. Here is a handy list of tasks that will help you grow a lush lawn and beautiful flowers this time of year: 1. Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizer bags will have three numbers on them. The three numbers represent the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in the bag. Get a fertilizer that has mostly or nothing but nitrogen (the first of the three numbers), as it is what our lawns need most here in Texas. 20-5-10 or 24-6-12 or 15-0-0 are all good formulations to look for, but there are a lot of good options on the market these days. 2. Fertilize trees and shrubs. Don’t forget to fertilize existing trees and shrubs. These plants need a spring snack too! Don’t use weed and feed around them as the weed component can damage your plants. 3. Perfect time to plant. Spring is for planting! It’s time to plant annuals like zinnias, petunias and begonias. Perennials like Daylilies, Salvia and Coneflower should be planted now. Any trees and shrubs that you didn’t get planted this fall and winter can still be planted now, as well. Last but not least, it’s time to start warm season veggies like tomatoes and peppers. 4. Mulch, mulch, mulch. After you get all your planting done, put down a one-to-two inch layer of mulch over your flower beds and veggie gardens. This will help keep weeds out and conserve water by keeping your soil moist. 5. Water smart. Put your plants and lawn on a regular watering schedule this month. Remember, our lawns need about an inch of water a week, either from us watering or from rain, to perform their best. An easy trick to make sure you’re watering enough is to make a mark one inch from the bottom of the inside of an empty tin can. Bury the tin can in the yard and water as you usually do. At the end of the week, check the can. If the water is at the one inch mark, you know you are watering the right amount. Many people think they must water every day or every other day to have green and healthy turf. This is a common misconception that wastes water and actually weakens your lawn. Horticulturalists recommend watering your lawn deeply and infrequently to promote a strong root system. 6. Prune flowering shrubs. Begin to prune any spring flowering shrubs like Spirea, Azalea or Chinese Fringe Flower after they finish blooming. Shaping them shortly after they finish blooming will ensure they set lots of blooms for next year, as well. by WMG Interior & E Interior & Exterior Painting • Affordable and Profe 2014 is coming to•an end...
