The Date! Deed Restriction Strengthening Grants The BOCA Board has approved a new grant program to help its 25 subdivisions strengthen their deed restrictions. The goal of the program is to ensure that the single family restrictions along with other restrictions including setbacks, height, massing, and use, are in force and are unlikely to be challenged. For more information about this program can be found in the Grants Document. You can find an application here.
US59 Bridge Entrance Beautification We invite you to make a donation to the Beautification Fund as part of your annual membership payment using the button below. Suggested donation levels are $50, $100, $250 and $500, but any amount is welcome. We hope to raise the remaining $33,500 by the end of the fiscal year, to launch the project in the 3rd quarter of 2024. The bridge entrances have become an eyesore ever since the Montrose Management District was dissolved several years ago. The weeds harbor trash and provide cover for the homeless people. are unsightly. Replacing these areas with the gravel and reducing the need for costly maintenance will enhance these key entrances at a lower overall cost than other options. The Patrol Needs You Now!

City of Houston Sidewalk Variance The city recently changed its standards for sidewalk replacement form 4 ft. wide to 5 ft wide regardless of location and type of street. This new requirement is detrimental to our street trees and alters the character of our neighborhood by creating more paved surfaces. BOCA encourages all neighbors who are contemplating a sidewalk replacement and builders building new homes to replace sidewalks with 4 ft wide sidewalks to match the rest of the neighborhood. The city has a variance procedure that is easy to follow. The application can be found here. Select “HOA Letter” as your reason for requesting the variance. Please attach our letter to your request. The BOCA letter can be found here. Trees for Houston/Boulevard Oaks Please
