We had intended to open the Pool this weekend (May 16th), but the current weather forecasts are for continued thunderstorms though next week. We cannot open the Pool if there is any lightning locally.  We will shoot for opening on Memorial Day weekend, as usual, and will let you know if things change.

Announcements for May 3

  • The Office will be closed all day Thursday, May 7th , and Friday, May 8th, so Terry can attend her daughter’s wedding out of town.  Please drop your dues payments in the drop box. I will be in and out of the Office both days and you can drop off payments then as well.
  • The Pool – We have our 2 pool monitors and we are getting the pool ready for the 2015 season.
    • We are tentatively opening the pool on May 16th (Saturday) and we are still working on the schedules (weather permitting)
    • As soon as we finalize things, we will post it here and at the Office.

2015 Paint Schedule

We have started painting on our 2015 schedule, and the following homes will be painted:

  • East Townhouse Lane, single and 2 story.
  • East Creek, 2 story only
  • East Mountain Creek Drive, 2 story only
  • Those with enclosed garages will need to repair and paint these structures themselves. The HOA does not maintain them.

Homeowners will need to clear their back yards and next to the building so we can power wash and prepare for painting.

Below are the base and trim colors for this year. Those getting their homes painted will need to choose a trim color.  If you do not choose a trim color, we will pick one.

Recent Vandalism on the West Side

We have had a report of vandalism on the West side of the property, where a homeowner’s vehicle has been targeted a few times.  We have contacted the Grand Prairie Police and have requested periodic patrols throughout both sides of the subdivision. The main problem we have is that we cannot control who does or does not drive through the property; while our subdivision is Private Property and is fully marked as such, it is often used for a shortcut or for people to park off of the beaten path to do whatever it is that they do.

Short of adding our own paid Security patrol, something that could result in a dues increase or a special assessment, all we can do at the moment is ask all of our homeowners to report suspicious activity to the Police. This would include loitering, frequent short-term visitors to the same property and other obviously dubious activities.

This is our home and we all need to get involved.
