Welcome to the redesigned Pineloch Community Association web pages! These pages are continually being revised and updated. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to email the website curator atAlso, if you have any news items or announcements you would like to post here (such as garage sales, etc.) just email me with the details and I'll get it on the website. (NOTE: Be sure to put "PINELOCH" or "PCA" in the message subject line, so my spam filter doesn't kill it before I see it!)
- Where can I find info about selecting a roof contractor and installing a replacement roof?
One place to get info is the Texas Department of Insurance site: www.tdi.state.tx.us/wind/documents/RepairingRoofAfterStorm.pdf.
- Do I need approval for roof replacement?
Yes. Requests will get quick approval if they meet two deed restriction requirements: color must be weatherwood or equivalent, and shingle design must be "architectural" (not 3-tab). A shingle selection advisory is available at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/shingles.shtml.
- Do I need approval for fence replacement?
Yes. Requests will get quick approval if they meet three deed restriction requirements:
- Total fence height (including rot board if used) must not exceed 6 feet.
- Pickets must be cedar.
- Pickets must be dog-ear shape.
- Where can I get a form for the approval process?
Forms are available from Community management Solutions 281-480-2563 or from the PCA website at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/accform.doc.
- The fence I share with my neighbor fell down. Who is responsible for repairing/replacing it?
Fence along the property line between two homeowners is jointly owned. Costs are generally shared 50/50.
- I've had to cut down the trees in my front yard. Do I need to replace them?
Generally speaking, yes. The green impact of our trees adds significant value to our community. Smaller cul-de-sac lots should have at least one tree and other lots should have two. If you don't meet that criteria then you should replant. You do NOT have to replant the same type (or size!) tree as the one you removed. More info is available by doing a word search for "trees" at www.pineloch.org/acc_info/accguide.shtml.
The PCA Board of Directors meets at 7:00 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of every month at 1001 Pineloch, Suite 100 (the old Sterling Bank Building in the strip center at the corner of El Camino and Pineloch). All Pineloch residents are welcome to attend any meeting. Residents may directly address the Board regarding any community issues at the outset of every meeting; there is no need to be placed onto the agenda in advance.

Houston City Council Announces Recycling Competition
City Of Houston City Council
Office of Peter Brown
Council Member, At-Large Position 1Dear Friends:
As you may know, Pineloch was recently chosen to participate in the City of Houston's new Single-Stream Recycling Pilot Program. Single-stream recycling is one of the most efficient ways to recycle -- no sorting of recyclables required!
As Chairman of the City's Sustainable Growth Committee, Council Member Peter Brown has been active in promoting recycling and facilitating the recycling process for Houstonians. So, as a way to encourage participation in your neighborhood, Council Member Brown is personally sponsoring a friendly competition between the eight participating neighborhoods. With the help of Keep Houston Beautiful, he will award the top three neighborhoods with the highest overall participation rates. The Solid Waste Department will monitor monthly participation rates of the eight neighborhoods and average out the monthly rates after six months to determine the winners. The top three neighborhoods will receive: $1,000 (first), $500 (second), $250 (third).
The monetary award will be presented after the six month period to the winning neighborhood associations/civic clubs (tentatively scheduled for Monday, September 21, 2009), which they will use for neighborhood revitalization and beautification projects within the neighborhood. The Pineloch Community Association has agreed to participate in this competition, so get those carts out and participate! Monthly participation reports will be sent to the Pineloch Community Association, and will also be available on our website at: www.HoustonTX.gov/council/1/committees.html. Initial participation results are provided below.
Sincerely,
Daniel Santamaria
Director of Community Affairs

Proposed Land Use Restrictions May Impact Your Home Value
The City of Houston is proposing new regulations to control future development around the three airports; George R. Bush Airport, William P. Hobby Airport and Ellington Field. The goal of these regulations is to prevent encroachment today in order to allow airport growth in the future. It seems to be a good cause, however, the proposed plan imposes restrictions on EXISTING residential structures as well. If this passes, homeowners in Bay Knoll and Bay Glen will no longer be able to enlarge, replace (fire, hurricane, etc.) or substantially renovate their homes without being forced to comply with expensive noise control measures in the construction. Furthermore, people selling homes in our neighborhood will be required to provide written warning to prospective buyers that the home is within a high noise area.
The measures addressing existing residential structures do nothing to prevent residential encroachment. Their sole effect is to impose a penalty on homeowners who live near the airport. They will almost certainly have a negative impact on our property values.
Read more about the proposed plans at the Houston Airport System's website: www.fly2houston.com/AirportLandUse.
