Protective Covenant Ballot / Vote Status

The Board would like to thank all homeowners that participated in the Protective Covenant voting.  And thank you to all that volunteered your time to reach out to neighbors to make sure they were aware of the mailing and collecting ballots.  A special “Thank You!” to Thornton & Barbara House and Ruby Jones for spending days in our high-temperature heat checking in with our Enclave neighbors regarding the ballots.  

The Board is pleased to announce that we have received the required quorum of votes.  Now that we have received the 67%, State Law requires the Association to send a notice to owners that did not respond, with a ballot, to allow 20 additional days to cast their vote if they have not done so.  Once that is complete then the amendments can be executed by the Board and then filed.

Attention Enclave Residents

Proposed Pre-Ordered Menu:

Green Salad with House Vinaigrette

Choice of: Southwest Chicken Rigatoni or Beef Lasagna

Dessert of Holiday Bread Pudding

$33 per person, inclusive of tax & gratuity. Includes Iced Tea and Coffee.

Please Respond to Survey By: Friday, September 22

Thank you!

This is not a RSVP. This is for survey purposes only.Number of people in your party, including yourself.

On Sunday, the restaurant is closed and only open for our group and seats up to 140. This requires a $500 deposit to book and $2000 food and beverage minimum (pretax and gratuity) to book a Sunday event in December. At $33 per person, we would need a commitment/paid 61 attendees, to cover the $2000 minimum.

On Saturday evening, the restaurant is open to the public and we would reserve the Wine Room. This area seats a maximum of 48 and could be extended to 80 including the lounge area.

Lake Houston Community Association (LHCA) Proposed Revisions, Deletions and Updates

PLEASE VOTE – Deadline September 26

Homeowners recently received a letter from the LHCA Board regarding proposed revisions, deletions and updates to the Lake Houston Communication Association’s By-laws and Protective Covenants. (See Below)

A list of the proposals to the By-laws:

  • Article II, Section 7 and Section 8 are removals of items no longer applicable
  • Article IV, Section 1. Number is amended to change that Board members must be Member of the Association.
  • Article V, Section 1. Nomination is amended to remove reference to a nominating committee and incorporate electronic postings and email notification
  • Article VII, Section 1(j) removed as no longer applicable
  • Article VIII, Section 8(c) and Section 8(d) remove reference to “Corporate Seal”
  • Article XVI, Section 2 Add Board my set the fiscal year to align with accounting services provider

A list of the proposals to the Protective Covenants

  • Article II, Section 2 adds wordage on garage sale, rummage sale, moving sale or similar activity, Association sponsored community-wide garage, and Estate sales.
  • Article II, Section 18 updates garbage cans or other trash receptables location and time of curb placement.
  • Article VI, Section 4 and Section 5 removed as no longer applicable
  • Article VI, Section 8 updates Protective Covenants to include leasing and associated guidelines.

The only way these proposed revisions, deletions and updates will be adopted for the protective covenants is with the approval of 67% of the homeowners, one vote per address.

      The additions are to address items that are not specifically addressed in either the by-laws or protective covenants and the Board considers them to be in the best interest of our neighborhood. We appreciate your support and encourage you to complete the “First Amendment Ballot” with a FOR Amendment by Tuesday, September 26, 2023.
