Bits of Info from ginny’s Desk
By Ginny Wagner, Community Standards Assistant
With spring approaching, it is a good time to take a look around
your yard to see which plants need to be replaced. Recent efforts
with our highly successful Water Wise and Firewise programs
suggest staying with native plants that require less water and
aren’t of an oily nature.
Our Garden Club has put together a beautiful binder (available
at both Monitor locations) that has pictures to help choose wisely
when making an investment in landscape. As long as the size of
the bed, material for the edging, and one plant per 100 square
feet guideline is adhered to, an application isn’t necessary, even
if you are changing out the edging of the bed. Just remember to
keep all plants under 36” in the sight triangle of a corner lot, and
in the last 20 feet from the rear perimeter of a golf course lot.
As our community matures, a lot of homes are in need of paint
and/or new roofs. Many of the roofs are a color called “Weath-
erwood.” You can’t go wrong choosing that color and a 30-year
shingle. The guidelines for roof replacements ask for a shingle
to be provided, but, as long as the color is pre-approved, we don’t
insist on that requirement. Remember, the City of Georgetown
also needs to issue a permit for a roof replacement.
The exterior paint colors are organized by scheme online at
under “Exterior Paint Schema.” Remember,
that if you choose to stay with the same colors, an application
is not necessary. It is only when a new color or scheme is chosen
that a B-2 form is required.
If you are unsure about what materials can be used or how to
proceed, check the Design Guidelines located on the Sun City
Texas website or call or stop by the Community Standards Of-
fice and ask. We are always happy to answer your questions!
