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. A
reminder that
any structure as
new, additions,
fencing, etc.
has to have an
ACC packet
turned in. The
committee meets
every 1st and
3rd Thursday of
the month
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 deed
restrictions are
enforced. All
of our
committees
consist of
property owner's
who volunteer
their time,
expense and
effort to keep
up with our deed
restrictions.
First and second
notices are sent
out before gate
cards are
disabled and/or
consulting with
the attorney for
further action
against
continuing
violations.
The updated ACC
Packet is also
posted on the
web site to make
it easier for
folks to get
this
information.

Waterways
|
With
the drought we have experienced
lately the water levels at both
lakes are at a minimal low. We
just recently put 200 grass
carp in Eagle Lake and 100 in
Bluebonnet Lake for vegetation
control. There is fishing
allowed as "catch and release
only" at this time. The next
step will be an ariel
spray that will be done
approximately in May for further
vegetation control at Eagle
Lake. Spraying at the bayous
had begun last year and ceased
during the winter months but
have continued this month to
keep control of the vegetation
growth. Everything is looking
great!

Maintenance
All of our
facilities such as the parks, pavilions,
swimming pools are kept and manicured every
week for use. The campground area has been
cleared of "trash" trees and excess brush.
The fencing area at the 521 entrance has
been replaced. Fresh mulch has been put in
both the playground areas. Picnic tables and
barbeque pits have been repainted. Bring
your family for an outing at the Bar X
Ranch!
Finance and
Legal
|
After a series of problems with
ACMI the contract was terminated
in July 2008. All business
services are conducted back on
site at the POA office.
With
the modest increase in dues and
with a carefully planned and
controlled budget the Bar X is
in good financial status.
All
lots were recently updated with
regard to change of ownership
and owner address. This does
require a lot of work and
owner's should note that it is
their responsibility to notify
the Bar X office of any changes
of selling, buying or changing
of ownership. If you are
selling your lot please inform
the new buyer that they will
need to contact the office. We
will need to have a copy of the
recorded deed to make any
changes to the property. The
Brazoria County Tax office does
not inform our office of any
transactions.
All
lots that have not paid the
2008 maintenance fees will be
turned over to the collection
agency after March 27, 2009. All
other lots with more than (2)
years past due will have liens
assessed to the property.
