General
  • Are cars allowed to be parked in the street in Willow Bay? What about RVs, trailers and work trucks?
    The streets within Willow Bay are public residential streets and cars parked legally are allowed.  To be parked legally a car must be parked with right side tires along the curb and no more than 18 inches away from the curb.  It must be operable and display a current inspection sticker and registration.  It must be parked at least 30 feet from any stop sign at an intersection and 20 feet from any crosswalk at an intersection.
    See Sections 545.302 and 545.303 of the Texas Transportation Code for more details.
     
    RVs, trailers, boats, etc. cannot be stored in the neighborhood unless they are completely concealed from public view (see CC&R Article IX, section 7).  The same goes for any truck in excess of 1 ton or any vehicle with painted advertisement (Article IX, setction 8).  Also, City of Frisco ordinances prohibit RVs, trailers, etc. from parking in the street except for loading and unloading.  These vehicles can be ticketed by Frisco police if they remain parked in the street for extended periods.
     
  • Are garage sales allowed?
    Yes, but written consent must be obtained prior to the sale.  No more than 2 garage sales of no more than 2 days duration make be conducted during any 12 month period.  (See CC&R Article VII)
     
     
    Neighborhood garage sales will be held periodically and the entire neighborhood can participate.  Watch the website for announcements about upcoming garage sales.
  • How can I keep all the solicitors from disturbing my home?
    The best way is to obtain a No Solicitation sign from Frisco Neighborhood Watch. They are $10 and can be purchased at the Frisco Police Station (7200 Stonebrook Pkwy) or from any FNW Block Captain.
     
     
  • How do I get approval for a new patio cover/fence/shed/etc.?
    Fill out a Request for Home Improvement or Architectural Approval Form and submit it to SBB Management along with detailed plans.  Also, check with the City of Frisco to make sure the improvement meets code or requires a building permit.
  • I'm interested in joining the neighborhood watch. What do I need to do?
    Getting involved in neighborhood watch is a great way to help keep the neighborhood safe and involves very little of your time.  Becoming a Block Captain is easy.  First, read the Block Captain Duties.  Second, fill out and submit the Block Captain Application Form.  Frisco PD will run a background check and get back to you when that is complete, usually within a week.  Then go out and meet your neighbors.  Introduce yourself as their new FNW Block Captain and get their names and contact info to create a phone/email tree so that you can forward any crime watch/prevention tips.  A typical watch area should be about 8-12 homes.
    Coordinate your activities with the safety committee and the other neighborhood Block Captains.
     
    More info can be found on the Frisco Neighborhood Watch website.
  • What are the HOA's landscaping requirements? How many trees do I need to have in my yard?
    The HOA doesn't have any set number of trees or shrubs that you should plant in your yard.  It only requires that you maintain your yard by mowing, keeping trees and shrubs healthy and trimmed, and keep beds and lawn as free of weeds as possible.
     
    The City of Frisco, on the other hand, does have a set of minimum requirements which can be found here: Landscape Requirements.  Lots in Willow Bay are required to have two shade trees with a minimum of 3 inch caliper at the time of planting.  The trees can be any combination of the following: Burr Oak, Chinkapin Oak, Live Oak, Red Oak, Pecan, Texas Ash, Bald Cypress, Cedar Elm, Allee Lacebark Elm, Bosque Lacebark Elm, Southern Magnolia, Bigtooth Maple, Caddo Maple, Durand Oak, Common Persimmon, Chinese Pistachio, and Black Locust.  These can be planted anywhere on your yard.  Substitutions for these listed trees must be approved by the City of Frisco's Planning & Development Service Landscape Architect.

Pool / Spray Park
  • Are we allowed to hold pool parties at the community pool or spray park?
