Information on the FM156 Project

Here's a response from TxDot regarding road construction for Blue Mound Road and if it can be started sooner. This was their reply:

"Scott: I confirmed with staff that 2017 is the earliest this project could be awarded for construction. The Prop 1 funding is part of the funding package for this project. In addition, before a project can be constructed, an environmental public involvement phase must be completed. This is a federal requirement that is currently underway. The first public meeting should be held before the end of the year. Based on public input and further environmental review, a public hearing will then be scheduled to present more detailed schematic plans. Staff is diligently working on this project and understand the need for it. We appreciate everyone’s patience. If you have any further questions, please let me know."

Thank you,
Barbara

Board's Response from the Neighbor's Meeting

Villages of Chisholm Ridge HOA

In response to the neighbor’s meeting on July 28, 2015, the Board of Directors was asked to mail a letter regarding the landscaping and yard care for the neighborhood.  In addition, the President of the Board was asked to hold a Special Meeting.

The Board has received both requests and has brought it up for a vote.  Here is the result for the landscaping issues and if the letter should be sent out:

                                                                                        Barbara:    YES

                                                                                             Irene:    (didn’t vote)

                                                                                                 Joe:    (didn’t vote)

Because there was not a majority of the Board who voted YES, the letter will not be sent out to Sunspot.

In regards to the Special Meeting, the petition was sent to Jennifer at Principal Management Group who will be verifying and matching up names with deeds.  She says she is still in the process of this task so a meeting date cannot be set at this time.  As soon as Barbara, the Board President, hears back from Jennifer then a date will be set within 45 calendar days of when the petition was received (July 29, 2015).  A tentative date will be the week of August 31; a notice of the actual date will be posted in the neighborhood.

Sincerely,

Barbara

Motion Sensor Lights

Motion sensored lights are helpful in improving home security and neighborhood safety.  You can read more in a previous post HERE.

It has been discussed, and the Board approved, that the waiving of fees for the home improvement application, is on a permanent basis.  For those who would like to install motion sensored lights, must still submit an ACC Request Form which be found on the Forms page HERE.  However, the $25.00 application fee will be waived as long as this is the only request on the form.  Please remember to provide details for your motion sensored lights, such as what it looks like and where it will be installed.  In addition, neighbors on both sides of your home will need to sign the form.

Please excuse the way the meeting minutes are laid out. Putting them in the blog was done with copy/paste operations, and that changed the layout.  The content is not arranged as it was in the original format, so please be patient while reading through some of these.  Thanks for your understanding.  Joe
