ARTICLE 28 of POA Policy Manual
SECURITY MEASURES POLICY
Before any security measure contemplated by Section 202.023(a) of the Texas Property Code (“Code”) is constructed or otherwise erected on a Lot, an ACC application must be submitted to the Association and approved in writing in accordance with the Declaration. The following information must be included with the application:
a. Type of security measure;
b. Location of proposed security measure;
c. General purpose of proposed security measure; and
d. Proposed construction plans and/or site plan.
2. Other Applicable Requirements.
Owners are encouraged to be aware of the following issues when seeking approval for and installing a security measure:
a. The location of property lines for the Lot. Each Owner should consider obtaining a survey before installing a security measure;
b. Easements in the area in which the security measure is to be installed;
c. Underground utilities in the area in which the security measure is to be installed.
The Association is not obligated to and will not review an Owner’s ACC security measure application for the above-referenced issues. Owners should be aware that a security measure may have to be removed if a person or entity with superior rights to the location of a security measure objects to the placement of the security measure.
The Code authorizes the Association to regulate the type of security measure fencing that an Owner may install on a Lot.
a. Security measure fencing generally
i. All fences must be of a permanent nature and fence posts must be set in concrete.
ii. Security measure fencing cannot contain decorative elements and embellishments (whether part of the fence construction or are add-on decorative elements/embellishments). This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, prohibiting finials (of any shape or design), fleur de lis, points, spears (of any shape or design), and gate toppers of any type.
iii. Fences located on Inland Lake Lots, Golf Course Lots, Lake Livingston Lots, Inland Lake Estates Lots, Patio Golf Course Lots, Patio Inland Lake Lots, or Patio Lake Livingston Lots must be wrought iron style as illustrated in the Westwood Shores ACC Policy Manual and are to be 48 in. in height.
iv. Security measure fencing must be located on the perimeter of a Lot, however, it is prohibited for security measure fencing to : (1) be located across sidewalks; and/or (ii) to enclose sidewalks. If a sidewalk is located within the perimeter of a Lot, the security measure fencing must be located on the residence side of the sidewalk. Fencing that is not located on the perimeter of a Lot is not security measure fencing and must comply with the Declaration and all other applicable Association governing documents.
b. Security measure fencing forward of the residential structure on a Lot as depicted on the applicable Lot survey:
i. Must be black metal fencing (either steel, wrought iron, or aluminum) measuring no more than six feet (6’) in height. Security measure fencing pickets shall be 3/4", 4” on center with 1-1/4” top and bottom rails. All framing must be on the inside (i.e., the residence side) of the security measure fencing It is the intent of this Policy that all security measure fencing forward of the front building line on a Lot have the appearance of what is commonly called “wrought iron fencing”;
ii. Must consist of straight horizontal styles and straight vertical pickets and/or posts;
iii. Any driveway or pedestrian gates on security measure fencing must be of the same material as the fencing and swing inward and related fence motors/equipment must be kept screened from view with evergreen shrubs or in such other manner approved in writing by the ACC;
iv. When security measure fencing meets a wood fence, the security measure fencing may not be attached to the wood fence. The security measure fencing shall be terminated with a three-inch (3”) metal post (either steel, wrought iron, or aluminum) adjacent to the wood post/wood fencing; and
c. All security measure fencing must be installed per the manufacturer’s specifications and all electric gates must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all applicable codes and applicable governmental regulations.
4. Burglar Bars, Security Screens, Front Door Entryway Enclosures.
All burglar bars, security screens, and front door entryway enclosure shall be black or any color approved by the ACC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ACC shall have the discretion to approve another color for burglar bars, security screens and front door entry enclosure if, in the sole and absolute discretion of the ACC (subject to an appeal to the Board of Directors in the event of an ACC denial), the proposed color of the burglar bars, security screens, and front door entryway enclosures complements the exterior color of the dwelling. All burglar bars and front door entry enclosures must be comprised of straight horizontal cross-rails and straight vertical pickets. Decorative elements and embellishments (whether part of the original construction of the burglar bar or security screen or are add-on decorative elements/embellishments) of any type are prohibited on burglar bars, security screens, and front door entryway enclosures.
5. Disputes; Disclaimer; Indemnity.
Security measures, including but not limited to, security cameras and security lights shall not be permitted to be installed in a manner that the security measure is aimed/directed at an adjacent property which would result in an invasion of privacy, or cause a nuisance to a neighboring Owner or resident. In the event of a dispute between Owners or residents regarding security measure fencing, or a dispute between Owners or residents regarding the aim or direction of a security camera or security light, the Association shall have no obligation to participate in the resolution of the dispute. The dispute shall be resolved solely by and between the Owners or residents.
EACH OWNER AND OCCUPANT OF A LOT WITHIN THE PROPERTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THE ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND THE ACC, ARE NOT INSURERS AND THAT EACH OWNER AND OCCUPANT OF ANY DWELLING AND/OR LOT THAT HAS A SECURITY MEASURE THAT HAS BEEN OR WILL BE INSTALLED PURSUANT TO THIS POLICY ASSUMES ALL RISKS FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS, TO DWELLINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS AND TO THE CONTENTS OF DWELLINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS, AND FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND THE ACC, HAVE MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES NOR HAS ANY OWNER OR OCCUPANT RELIED UPON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, RELATIVE TO ANY SECURITY MEASURE THAT MAY BE APPROVED BY THE ACC PURSUANT TO THIS POLICY.
OWNERS OF LOTS WITHIN THE PROPERTY HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, PROTECT, HOLD HARMLESS, AND DEFEND (ON DEMAND) THE ASSOCIATION, INCLUDING ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MANAGERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS COMPRISING THE ACC (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE “INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”) FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CLAIMS BROUGHT BY AN OWNER OR OCCUPANT) IF SUCH CLAIMS ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO A SECURITY MEASURE GOVERNED BY THIS POLICY.

POA POLICY: LOT CONSOLIDATION REQUIREMENTS
POA Policy Manual Article 3
Consolidation of Lot(s) for the Deletion of Assessments
Section 8.01 Criteria
No more than three (3) lots may be consolidated. This condition applies only to the number of lots which may be consolidated but does not restrict the number of lots one may build upon.
All structures for lot consolidation must comply with the following policies and procedures set forth by the Property Owners Association Board of Trustees. In addition, this construction and all other construction on a lot shall comply with the Restrictions as set forth in the Consolidated Restated and Amended Reservation, Restrictions and Covenants for Westwood Shores, and all ACC and POA policies.
1. NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION:
a. ALL SECTIONS EXCEPT MOBILE HOME and DOUBLE WIDE SECTIONS: New home foundation must cross property lines of the adjoining lots to be consolidated.
b. MANUFACTURED HOMES: Homes cross the property lines of adjoining lots to be consolidated.
2. ADDITIONS TO EXISTING HOMES: Must complement the existing home and cross the property lines of the adjoining lots to be consolidated as described below.
a. Additions attached to the home where one side of the addition shares a common wall of the existing home:
i. Minimum size: 300 sq. ft.
ii. Foundation must extend across the property lines of the lots to be consolidated.
iii. The roof line of the addition is to be extended so that it looks to be part of the original home.
iv. There must be full walls on all sides of the addition, unless approved as a carport (see c. below).
b. Additions to the home that are detached (i.e. do not share a common wall with the existing home):
i. Minimum size: 400 sq. ft.
ii. Must be connected to an existing residence as an incorporated part of the existing residence and connected by a covered concrete walkway covered in the same manner as the roof of the home. The addition should be in close proximity to the home; maximum distance from home of 20 ft. Actual distance will be determined by design and lot configuration.
iii. Addition and/or accompanying walkway must cross the property lines of the adjoining lots to be consolidated.
iv. There must be a full wall on all sides of the addition unless approved as a carport (see c. below)
v. The structure must contain permanent electricity concealed from view (i.e. serviced underground from the main structure or on a separate meter).
vi. Only one detached addition is allowed to the existing home (see the complete ACC Policy Manual Section 7.02 (c) for additional information.)
vii. Detached structures must have roofs that match the style and material of the existing home (i.e. Gable, Pitched, Hip, etc.).
c. Carports: Either attached or detached:
i. Minimum size: 600 sq. ft. of which at least 200 sq. ft. on one side of the carport is completely enclosed as an additional room/storage area.
ii. All other criteria as given under the appropriate category above.
Section 8.02 PROCEDURE
All new construction requires ACC approval to begin work. Lot consolidation is a POA policy; lot consolidation affects POA finance and therefore requires POA approval.
1. The plan is submitted to the ACC for approval of construction of the structure.
2. The plan approved by the ACC is then submitted to the POA for “conditional” lot consolidation approval at the next POA Board meeting. Should the ACC have some questions about plan compliance with lot consolidation policy or wish to propose an exception (as may be done for a variance), the plan may be submitted to the POA with “conditional ACC approval.” After review, the POA Board will approve or deny the proposed plan for lot consolidation.
3. Consolidation requires a separate application upon completion of construction as defined in the Complete ACC Policy Manual Section 4.02 (e).
4. The consolidation application and completed structure are reviewed by Management. If the application and completed structure meet the above criteria, Management will grant approval for the deletion of Assessments the month following the consolidation approval and the Consolidated Lot will be subject to the Assessments of a Single Lot or Building Site. Any circumstances that do not meet the above criteria may be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration as an appeal for deleting the additional Assessments.
5. The Association reserves the right to unconsolidate any previously approved consolidation if the Owner alters the qualifying structure in any way from the original criteria through which consolidation was approved.

Heavier Cardboard
Heavy Haul
Except from POA admin 4/1 email message
by Brad Burkeen
Community Manager
Household Trash
- Everyday waste from your home, including food scraps, food wrappers, diapers, hygiene products, plastic bags, and paper products. This is the typical small, routine trash generated daily.
Household Cardboard
- Thin, smooth cardboard, such as cereal boxes, tissue boxes, and shoe boxes. These are usually made from a single layer of material and are primarily used for packaging lightweight items. Household cardboard can go in your regular bagged trash.
Heavier Cardboard
- Sturdier, thicker cardboard like shipping boxes or moving boxes, designed for strength and durability. Examples include Amazon or Chewy boxes and large moving boxes. If styrofoam is inside the box, the styrofoam may be placed in household trash but the box will still need to be broken down
- These need to be broken down and must be placed out for cardboard pickup. Alternatively, they can be dropped off at the maintenance barn on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 8:00 AM and Noon.
Heavy Haul
- Large, bulky, or heavy items that don’t fit into regular trash collection. These may require special handling. Examples include furniture, appliances, and scrap metal (like old TVs or metal desks). Note: Tires, batteries, and paint are not accepted.

Neighborhood Watch is sponsoring the recycling project of flimsy plastic.
The reward for recycling this plastic will be a Trex made park bench for Westwood Shores. This will be available to order at the end of a year of collecting!
Update
Did you know we have gotten two white benches at the pool from collecting plastic? Trex recycling has a Community Program, that we participate in, for every 1000 pounds of FLIMSY PLASTIC that gets recycled, weighed and turned in, Westwood Shores gets a free bench. Anything in the above flyer counts! Plastic is collected in the clubhouse conference room/ladies’ locker room. If it crackles it doesn’t recycle! Thanks for your help as we work towards a couple more benches!
Check the chart to see what we may recycle in this program!
