On August 18, your community will hold a Special Meeting of the Members to announce the election results and your new Board of Directors. No business is being conducted at this meeting other than announcing the results. Seating is limited inside the Lakehouse, and the event will be broadcast live online. The entire meeting should last no more than 15 minutes.

No voting will take place at the meeting, as ballots will close the day prior at 5 PM.

Based on the CDC guidelines and recommendations from Fort Bend County, we would encourage you to watch this meeting from the comfort of your home. If you choose to attend in person, please ensure that you follow the CDC guidelines for large group gatherings.

Meeting links will be sent out next week and will be available on MySweetgrass.net.
Deadlines to submit applications for an ARC meeting are always 5:00 PM the Wednesday prior to the meeting. Remember to include a copy of your plat map with the locations of the additions marked directly on the plat.

If you have questions about submitting an application, please speak to Rick at the Lakehouse or call him at 281-239-4455 and he'll be happy to meet with you and walk you through the process.

Upcoming ARC meeting dates:
  • August 16, 2021
  • August 30, 2021
  • September 13, 2021
  • September 27, 2021
Tree Trimming:
Please be sure that you are trimming your tree branches so that they do not impede neighbors using the sidewalk. The Design Guidelines state “ Trees should be spot pruned during the growing season to promote shaping, thinning and to remove branches that interfere with nearby improvements or pedestrian traffic.” Keep in mind that some of our neighbors have difficulty going around this if the sidewalk is blocked.

Thank you for helping us resolve this issue.

Update on Plastic Recycling by GFL.
The new GFL recycle bin says "No Plastic Bags" and I didn't see any information from GFL about what plastics were acceptable so I called and asked what plastics are ok for the GFL recycling plant. They sent me a sheet with photos of acceptable items and more detail on plastic. Now only #1, #2 and #5 plastic items are recyclable. The other materials have little value and contaminate the valuable plastics. The plastic bags gum up the sorting conveyors (just like when your pants leg got caught in your bicycle chain...) so they're really hard to recycle. Also, note that aluminum foil and disposable cups are not recyclable.
