Architectural
Control
The ACC has been
hard at work on
the details of
the need to
clarify some of
the requirements
and to make the
same standards
apply to all
sections of the
Ranch. The ACC
has really only
one goal and
that is to set
standards and
specifications
for building at
Bar X Ranch
designed to
enhance not only
the beauty of
our community
but also our
overall property
values.
Deed
Restriction
This DR
committee has
sent out a
letter to all
the home owners
refreshing
memories as to
the deed
restriction
requirements.
In order to be
fair with
everyone we have
given a 60 day
“grace period”
to allow folks
to bring their
property “up to
speed”. We want
Bar X property
values to “soar”
but an eye
“sore” can spoil
it for
everyone.
The updated ACC
Packet is also
posted on the
web site to make
it easier for
folks to get
this
information.

Waterways
-
Bluebonnet
Lake
has had to be refurbished because years
ago when all of the vegetation was total
killed the lake basically died! All of
the Ducks and other waterfowl departed,
and as we have recently discovered the
game fish gradually died out and left
only “trash fish”, such as Gar, Carp,
etc. Even the turtle population
disappeared.
-
We have
removed all of the “trash fish” and will
soon begin a total restocking program to
restore Bluebonnet to a first class
fishing lake.
-
There also
is a levee protection program that will
save thousands of dollars compared to
other methods of levee work.
Maintenance
-
Following
three or four years of building,
rebuilding and renovating our facilities
we have more recently been in more of a
true maintenance mode, while still
reworking the “infrastructure” as
needed.

fairly
current maintenance projects.
Finance and
Legal
-
Since the
introduction of the ACMI management
company we have finally got our
accounting system to where it actually
reveals where we are financially.
-
We have
begun a serious collection strategy
which not only will collect many past
due accounts, but we have also
discovered that by doing a good job of
collections activity we have located
situations wherein past due lot owners
sold to someone else but we did not know
that and of course were not collecting
dues.
-
The
committee and ACMI have tightened up on
our legal matters including our own
insurance coverage and several legal
matters. While in the past we have been
using uninsured contractors we now
insist that all contractors have at
least $1 Million in General Liability
insurance.
