To all Residents:
It seems each year goes faster than
the year we just said goodbye to.
There are so many "things" each year that
seems better that the last but
it is difficult to keep up with all
the new technology.
The one thing to learn through ALL
the new years is enjoy your life,
enjoy the
people around you, try to make the most of
each day, each opportunity, each memory, and each person
placed in your path
or you in theirs.
Life is good, Live it well
Happy 2012!!!!

New Changes to Our Architectural Guidelines
The state of Texas
has made some changes that all HOA's must implement. Kelliwood Terrace has
completed the new guidelines set forth by the state and updated a few changes
to our originals. I will try to email all neighbors the new ACC, along with an
application, and an instruction page.
 |
Please read all that is needed for each individual
application. If it is not complete with necessary items such as, a
lot survey, paint samples, pictures, drawings, measurements it will take
longer for the resident to get an approval. |
|
You may get the guidelines and form from
Crest Management.

Please complete form if:
1. New Residents to Kelliwood Terrace
2. Changes in your family, (including pets), phone number, or email

VOTER'S REGISTRATION FOR 2012 ELECTIONS:
By now
your you should have
received your new NEW VOTER'S CARD.
THE NEW COLOR ON THE CARD IS YELLOW
There are rumors going around stating you
must re-register in order to vote in the 2012
elections. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Texas automatically sends out new
cards every 2 years without any re-registering from you. Many, if not all,
voter's card expired in Dec. 31,2011.
We have 2 weeks of early voting before "Election Day". This is highly
recommended to save you time and long lines. I will keep all updated with the
dates, times and locations for early voting.
- Locations for early voting are not yet known,
BUT ELECTION DAY IS
MAY 29TH!

Our subdivision is one of 9
sections of Kelliwood Fund, Inc. It was
developed by Mr. Vincent Kickerillo in
early 1990 and named after his
daughter, Kelli. Since then, he has developed
several other subdivisions
and all bear her name in their title. You will find this a desirable, friendly,
clean, and well maintained
subdivision. Our home owner's dues is
competitive with the sub-divisions
around us, usually, KT being the lowest.
Welcome! We are glad you are here!
Our subdivision has shown much
perseverance, determination, and
togetherness. In 2002, KT
replaced a decaying wooden fence around the
perimeter with a brick fence.
There was great enthusiasm with 167 homes
of 191 voting on this project. We
also placed sidewalks on
Westheimer Pwy.,
connected other sidewalks left
unfinished by
the developer, installed 5 new
streetlights, and a new stoplight
on
Mason Road and Cinco. We added
beauty to Westheimer Parkway
fence line by placing a flowerbed and
7 new live oak trees.
This bed was funded totally by donations from
our residents. We have
done some major "landscaping" clean up on
Mason road, power washed and painted our entry signs in 2008.
We have a 3 acre park
that we are trying to develop.
A butterfly
garden, was
planted, using shrubs, plants, and borders to attract
butterflies in 2003.
Along the park fence line to provide some privacy
72 wax myrtles were
added in 2003. Walking trails, 3 benches, a
bike rack, and a trash can
were
donated to us for
our park in 2008 by Cinco Mud #3.
This has brought more
activity and enjoyment
to this area.
We have replace a small bridge and
completely redid the
entry
way flower beds to the park and added a doggie
bag dispenser to our
park. All but the bridge was done by
volunteers and
donations from
our residents.
In 2009 a playground was
added to our park. Again, we are very fortunate to
Mud #3 for the
donations for this equipment which will add a place for families
to come
and share memories, adds an amenity to our community, thus,
bringing up
our property value. We have had a huge increase in the activity
and
usage of our park. Many, many dogs are loving the attention and exercise
they
are getting now in our park.
Mud 3 once
again provided Manito Park with 2
picnic tables and 2 large umbrellas.
We also received a green vinyl 8 ft. chain link fence along the North side of the park,
to keep children and pets inside, and safety in our park.
The fence
will not be seen from our view since we have shrubs to help hide this.
This is the final stage to the park.
THANK YOU MUD 3
FOR MANITO PARK

Kelliwood Terrace is convenient to 3 large
shopping malls, gymnastics,
grocery stores, worship of all faiths, work-out
facilities, golfing, 2 large movie
complexes, restaurants, and
the outstanding Katy School District. The traffic
situation is improving. A new toll way
has opened up that will take you from
Katy to 610 without stopping (with
many exits along the way). It is the
E-Z tag only Westpark Toll way so there are no toll booths or stops
along the
way. This has made getting to Houston area fast and easy. The I-10
improvements are now completed and the ride on the freeway is much
improved.
You have an HOV lane as well as a tollway to downtown. Also
available to
downtown is the park and ride from 2 different locations for KT.
It is a
wonderful mode of transportation for residents working downtown.

OUR ASSESSMENT FEE FOR 2012 IS
$500
the lowest of all Kelliwood Fund

In addition to covering normal annual expenses, we have three major
items we
need to be prepared for:
1.During 2010, we paid off an additional $20,000 of the brick fence note,
leaving a balance of $49,750 at the end of October 2010. During 2011 we
hope to pay down an additional $20,000, over normal payments.
2. A 2010 study performed by, Fisher-Smoucha, was done to determine
what each
Fund neighborhood needed to have in a reserve account. It was
determined Kelliwood Terrace needs a reserve of $29,000. This account will
be
available for replacement of property (perimeter fence, brick entryways and
sprinkler systems).
We do need to maintain a cash reserve balance as
recommended.
3.In addition, we have residents who owe the HOA legal fees and
annual dues of
$16,000. This has not been deducted as an expense.
However, If we
cannot collect, we have to
show it as an expense which
reduces our
available cash.
We have accumulated $51,000 in cash in two separate bank accounts.
We should
continue to accumulate any profits to accomplish the goals above.
Therefore,
our dues need to remain the same; $500 per year.
