Greetings Riceland Homeowners! 

Thank you all to those who attended the successful homeowner orientation on January 10, 2025. Your feedback and suggestions were heard, and your feedback is always valued, welcomed, and below is the update; thank you for your feedback. 

Please find a summary of the key issues discussed below and responses:

Construction/Building: 

• Requests for construction contractors to park on one side of the road only to allow ingress/egress
• Requests for construction contractors to slow down in community as they’re speeding and not respectful of pedestrians or other vehicles
• Requests for construction contractors to not play music so loudly
• Concrete wash-out stations – backing up onto common areas & rutting up landscaping
• Bent Street Signs/Damaged from Storm - Signs are being replaced – we have a new more stable design. Expect the re-install to start in 10-14 days.
• The wooden 4x4 angled posts - These specify the ‘no mow’ and/or the ‘limited mow’ areas in the reserve greenspaces.

Suggestions:

•  A dog park has always been on the list, but it will be in a later phase.
• Golf stimulator recommendation was mentioned and will be taken into consideration.
• No Solicitation signs in community - TBD

Trashcan Pads:

•  Regarding the trashcan pad - As the developer, the developer does not install anything on the lot. On the lots, developer construction ends when the utility leads are installed at the lot line. The home builder lays out the site plan of the lot at a later date, before they construct the home. This would be something to discuss with the home builder or the homeowner can address afterwards.

Landscaping:

• As far as any landscaping goes on the lot itself – this is home builder installed and the home builders must pick the plant species from the guidelines. Any changes to landscaping require approval.
• As mentioned, please refer to the guidelines for what can be planted and apply first before removal or modifications of any landscaping prior to replacement.

If you have further questions and/or concerns, please reach out to your Riceland Management Team at ricelandtx@ccmcnet.com. Again, we thank you for your input and welcome your suggestions.
