If you are replacing a dead tree with
a tree from Appendix E in the Design
Guidelines, you won’t need a permit as
long as you plant the tree at least twenty
feet from any other tree, ten feet from
the property line, and within two feet of
the removed tree. Also on the “No Pa-
perwork” list is the removal of any tree
not named in Appendix E’s Native Tree
list and any tree measuring less than
19” in circumference.

You will need to know your home’s model

ries of paint colors. This information can
be found under HOUSE MODELS. If
you are simply retouching your home’s
current colors, you won’t need to fill out
a B-2 form for approval. For help in re-
searching your paint colors when you
don’t have them with your sales docu-
ments, come by the Community Stan-
dards Office and we’ll be happy to work
with you.
HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
For a period beginning one week prior to,
and for one week after, you can display
decorations appropriate to the holiday.
March has two holidays: Texas Inde-
pendence Day on March 2 and Saint
Patrick’s Day on March 17.
DISPLAY OF MODIFICATION
PERMITS
Finally, modification permits need only
be displayed while the project is ongoing
and may be removed when the project
is complete. The bottom portion of the
permit is for office use only. A community
standards inspector will not come by to
sign your permit, so you can post the
permit on the inside of a front window
while the project is in progress.

Golf Carts and
Grandkids: Say NO!
Many grandchildren will be in
our community for the spring
break holiday, and there will be a
temptation to allow them to drive a
golf cart. However, it is against the
law and extremely dangerous for
anyone under the age of 16 and/or
anyone without a driver’s license to
drive a golf cart. Please, DO NOT
let grandkids get behind the wheel;
Georgetown police officers may is-
sue you a ticket.

unknown car parked in his driveway.
Checked on the car and found it locked

anyone to use their driveway. A neighbor
also stated that he was unfamiliar with
the vehicle. On the resident’s behalf, we

thanked.
