“Our” Sienna Sgt’s Suggestions

While patrolling in Sienna and investigating crimes, I am often asked:, “How can I help make my community safer?”, “How can I help the police solve crimes?”, “What should I do if I have evidence of a crime?”

Association’s role in neighbor-to-neighbor issues

Sienna is renowned for its aesthetic appeal, location, and community events. In order to maintain the high community standards that residents deserve, there are some deed restriction issues that involve neighboring properties that residents must work together to resolve.  

WHAT TO DO AFTER RECEIVING A DEED RESTRICTION LETTER?

The Community Standards department works together with residents to keep Sienna looking aesthetically pleasing and helping to protect home values. We often receive inquiries as to “what” happens if a resident receives a deed restriction courtesy letter or violation. Read More for an in-depth look at our deed restriction and fine process and what residents can do to help reach a quick resolution to items. 

reserve funds – why and how

Association reserve funds are essential financial resources set aside by association to cover future costs related to repairing, replacing, and maintaining common elements within the community.  These common elements can include amenities like playgrounds, fences, pools, buildings and other critical components.  Let’s dive deeper into the details. 

BERYL EFFECTS – WHY SO MUCH TREE DAMAGE?

Hurricane Beryl hit the Houston area with only a few days warning. Based on data from previous hurricanes, a Category 1 hurricane is expected to have devastating effects on trees, particularly trees in urban areas. There were specific factors associated with Hurricane Beryl, such as the fact that Houston was on the “dirty” side of the storm resulting in excessive rainfall and wind damage, which exacerbated the tree damage associated with a hurricane of this magnitude. Wind gusts of over 90 mph were reported, making the windspeeds of Beryl comparable to Hurricane Ike. 

Important Tips on fencing

When repairing or replacing fencing there are several important items to keep in mind. The Association encourages you to reach out to your neighbors before working on shared or “good neighbor” fencing (alternating panels). Another important step is to make sure that your fence is not Association owned “Community Fencing”. Some brick, iron, and wood fences, primarily located along common areas or major boulevards, belong to the Association. Please contact the Association office for specific locations of community fencing or email operations@clubsienna.com to verify if you share Association fencing. You can also review the Community Fencing Guidelines on siennaet.com in the Resource Library.

What if you have a non-emergency issue for law enforcement?

Sienna is under the jurisdiction of two law enforcement agencies, depending upon where your house is located. It’s worth noting the reasons behind this to understand how it affects you, directly.
