SCREENING WALL Replacement Plans (Update)
Progress on the screening wall along Independence continues although it is running slightly behind schedule. It is now projected to be completed by mid-November.
The City of Plano has approved Whiffletree HOA proposal for new landscaping and irrigation at the Clymer and Caravan entrances. We will be using the same landscaping company as we used in 2020 at Marchman and Harvey entrances. We expect the City of Plano contractor to replace the grass along Independence and repair irrigation system for the grass areas.

About the Whiffletree V-VII Homeowners Association

Whiffletree Recognized as Plano BEST Neighborhood (Platinum Level)
Whiffletree has again been designated a BEST Platinum Neighborhood by the City of Plano. This award renews our Platinum Neighborhood status originally received in 2016. Whiffletree showed evaluators in Plano Neighborhood Services that it is an exceptional neighborhood filled with caring and engaged neighbors. This is a significant award. Only 3 neighborhoods received this designation this year. We should all be proud of this accomplishment!
Plano has eliminated the 5 year renewal application process and migrated to what they term Continuing BEST Credits (CBC) where Platinum Neighborhoods will need to complete a number of identified tasks in each of the BEST categories (Beautiful, Engaged, Safe and Thriving) within a 2-year period to retain its Platinum designation. The positives of this system is that the tasks are understood beforehand, Whiffletree and other Platinum Neighborhood are able to contribute to the list of tasks in each category, and the list of tasks in each category may number 7-8 items where we would need to successfully complete 5 tasks to earn the required points to retain Whiffletree Platinum Designation forever!
Thank You to current and past Whiffletree HOA Board Members, the many active volunteers and especially, you our neighbors for making Whiffletree and exceptional neighborhood.

Watering Guidelines
for Nov 1 - Mar 31
Lawns and outdoor plants require less water as we move to cooler temperatures. November 1 marks the date to dial back landscape watering and to enjoy the water-use cost savings.
Effective November 1, The City of Plano outdoor watering guidelines limit sprinkler use to the once-a-week schedule based on the last digit of your house number:
- Homes with addresses ending in odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) – Operate sprinklers only on Tuesday
- Homes with addresses ending in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) – Operate sprinklers only on Thursday
The City of Plano also recommends that we follow these guidelines as well:
- Turn off automatic sprinklers. Once cooler weather arrives, most grasses go dormant until spring which reduces your lawn's need for water. Subscribe to WaterMyYard for customized weekly watering recommendations.
- Set your sprinklers to run between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. This is when the temperature is warmer.
- Don't plant cool season grasses. Ryegrass and fescues require extra water during winter.
- Avoid excessive water runoff and watering during rain, ice or snow. Runoff is prohibited because it leads to dangerous icing of streets and sidewalks.
- Only water if your lawn needs it. Just because it is your day to water doesn't mean you must water.

These guidelines apply until March 31, 2025.
