***Shady Hollow Alert***

 

Neighborhood Crime Report - Cluster Mailboxes Broken Into

 


The HOA Office has received reports from several residents about their cluster mailboxes being broken into last Friday afternoon/Friday evening time frame.  One resident reported seeing teenagers hanging out around her mailbox cluster on Friday afternoon and that cluster was one where every box had been broken into and all the contents had been taken.  From what we are hearing, this affects mailbox clusters on both sides of Brodie Lane.  It was not limited to one specific area.

If you have had your mailbox broken into, you need to call the Travis County Sheriff's Office yourself at their non-emergency number - 512/974-0845 and report it.  Don't count on your neighbors to make a generic call for for the mailbox cluster.  To get YOUR box repaired, there must be a report on file for your mailbox.

The Postal Service advises it takes 2-4 weeks repair time, so you will need topick up your mail at your assigned Post Office until your box has been repaired.  If you live on the West side of Brodie, your Post Office is the Oak Hill Branch.  If you live on the East side of Brodie, your Branch is Mockingbird Station on Manchaca Road. 

To help out yourself as well as your neighbors, please be extra observant and and report any suspicious activities or persons lingering around mailbox clusters to the Sheriff's Department by calling the above phone number or 911 if you witness a crime in progress.  Stealing mail is a Federal crime.

Travis County Storm Debris Removal

NOTICE TO ALL SHADY HOLLOW RESIDENTS

TRAVIS County Storm Debris Pick-Up for Shady Hollow

Last week Commissioner Gerald Daugherty and his Executive Assistant, Bob Moore, visited Shady Hollow to assess the damage and debris caused by the recent storm activity.

Commissioner Daugherty spoke up for Shady Hollow during the June 2 Commissioners Court Meeting and it was agreed that the County will send crews out on

MONDAY, June 8

to remove the storm debris that still clutters Shady Hollow’s thoroughfares.

On Tuesday, Mr. Moore and our General Manager drove through Shady Hollow and notated the addresses that still had piles of debris out front. County crews will ONLY be removing vegetation debris from the homes on this list. They are not responsible for trimming or cutting trees.

Storm Damage Clean-Up

NOTICE TO ALL SHADY HOLLOW RESIDENTS



STORM DAMAGE CLEAN-UP
 

Some of our members have suffered significant property damage in the wake of the recent storms. Many of us have been touched by the efforts and kindness of neighbors both known and unknown during these days of clean-up and restoration. Shady Hollow residents have shown that this is indeed, a great place to call home.

This being said, after a conversation with Commissioner Daugherty’s Office, the SHHOA Office must alert its members to four important facts:

1.   It is the homeowners’ responsibility to remove the brush and debris from their properties.

2.     Any brush placed in the roadway presents an endangerment to the safety of the driving public and can be considered illegal dumping.

3.    Unless the governor declares a state of disaster for our area, the County does not have the authority to remove storm debris from the properties of private citizens.

4.    While the County was here yesterday and are here today to pick up brush – they are only authorized to pick up the resulting brush from trees that they cut themselves.

We urge you to arrange to have your debris removed from the roadways as quickly as possible and ultimately hauled off and dumped for the safety of everyone here in Shady Hollow.  Thank you.
