**Fireworks In Creekview Estates & Creekview Forest Is Prohibited**
With all of the problems that we’ve had throughout the years concerning the use of fireworks in our subdivisions, we are forced to take this matter more seriously because homeowners want to enjoy the 4th and other holidays without fearing for the safety of their homes, children, vehicles, pets and so-forth.
If you read our CC&R’s you’ll see the following: The use and discharge of firecrackers and other fireworks is prohibited within the Creekview Estates and Creekview Forest Properties. We’ll be enforcing a $250 fine to all homeowners that continue to violate these rules; this will be for each incident reported. We have already spoken with the Management Company and they are in complete agreement that this needs to be in place.
This is also completely illegal within the City of San Antonio as well. Officer Scott Boehm with the Prue Road Police Substation along with Constable Mark Vojvodich will also be helping to assist our subdivisions and other surrounding subdivisions as well and ticket these homeowners and seize all illegal fireworks.
If a homeowner should hear or see this happening they will need to write down the address of the violator(s) and also call the San Antonio Police Non-Emergency number at 210.207.7273, if it turns out to be an emergency situation they’ll call 911 as per Officer Scott Boehm’s recommendations.
If the San Antonio Police Department are too overwhelmed, then please call Constable Mark Vojvodich at 210.335.4750 and report the same information to him as above.
**Constables Information**

**Protect Your Home**
Your oak trees are valuable and each increases the value of your home and property. Estimates vary but most agree each is worth $7000 to $10,000.
Individuals or companies that perform such services are required to be licensed by the city. To be licensed they receive special training on proper pruning and how to protect your trees from diseases like oak wilt. Oak wilt is a disease that is devastating areas just to the north of San Antonio.
Unlicensed individuals that go “door to door” often do not properly clean their tools between jobs and can spread diseases like oak wilt to your healthy trees. Once infected there is little that can be done and the infection will spread to your neighbors. If that happens you may be liable for the damage and loss of value to your neighbor’s property.
Unlicensed tree trimmers that go “door to door” are also rarely bonded, insured, covered by liability insurance or have worker’s comp insurance. If they are damage your neighbor’s property or are injured on your property you may held liable for the damages and required to pay their healthcare expenses.
**Proof of City Permits are Very Important to Buyers**
Did you know that when you put your home up for sale and you did not get the required permits for work done to your home or yard, you may not be able to sell.
If you don’t disclose this, then you can be sued when the new buyer finds out, because the city will look at the new owner to pay for any permits and fines.
**No Street Parking At All**
Street parking is not allowed and there are no exceptions plus all large vehicles that need temporary parking will need to park in the pool parking lot.
You will need to contact Ryan Gold with Goodwin Management before doing so because it will be towed if not.
**GATE KEYPAD INFORMATION**
Did you know that when you incorrectly enter your number into the keypad then try it several mores times, the keypad will lock you out. By doing this the keypad will need to reset and depending on how many times this was done, it could take as long as 3-minutes.
If you give out your number to friends and family please info them about this and then we wont have so many backed up vehicles at the entrance gates especially during the holidays.
**Solar Gate Lights**
Homeowners will notice (2) silver with red solar lights on the entrance and exit gates of both subdivisions. These solar lights will hopefully help all drivers see the gates better and avoid hitting them. You will also see (1) of the same type light on the outside of the keypads in both subdivisions a well. We understand that nothing can truly stop vehicles from driving through the gates but this should help to some degree.
