Dear Fellow Woodway Homeowner:

Our neighborhood is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Victoria with its wide streets lined with old growth trees and well maintained homes. It continues to be considered one of the most sought after neighborhoods in this area.

As a friendly reminder to all, the Deed Restrictions that govern this neighborhood include the following as it pertains to maintaining the landscaping on our own individual lots:

“Grass and weeds shall be kept mowed to prevent unsightly appearances.  Dead, diseased, or damaged trees which might create a hazard to property or persons on any lot or adjacent lot, shall be promptly removed or repaired, and if not removed by owners, then the Association may, but shall not be required to, remove such trees at owner’s expense and shall not be liable for damage done in such removal.”

“No Owner shall permit any thing or condition to exist upon his lot which shall induce, breed, or harbor infectious plant diseases or noxious insects.  Each owner shall keep all shrubs, trees, hedges, grass and landscaping of every kind on his lot, including any set-back areas, areas between lot lines and adjacent sidewalks and/or street curb, neatly trimmed, properly cultivated, and free of trash, weeds and other unsightly material.  No trees, hedges, shrubs, or other landscaping shall be planted or permitted to remain on any lot unless the foliage line is maintained at a proper height to prevent obstruction of safe cross-visibility of traffic approaching an intersection or driveway.  Easements for installation and maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities are reserved as shown on the recorded plat. The easement area of each lot and all improvements in it shall be maintained continuously by the owner of the lot, except for those improvements for which a public utility company or authority is responsible.”

It is necessary for each of us to take a look at the landscaping on our lots and be sure any low hanging limbs that encroach upon the public walkways are trimmed.  Hedges and shrubs are cut back so as to not hinder the visibility of traffic.

If your property backs up to Nursery Road or Briggs, it is your responsibility to keep that area maintained by removing tree limbs that are growing over your fences or shrubs growing through your fence.

Thank you for your cooperation.
