Oncor and Subcontractors on Property

Posted on by Don Ryan

We have Oncor and their subcontractors doing work on property on both sides. There is a crew on East Mountain Creek Court running some new cables between the transformers. There is also a temporary wire running across West Townhouse Lane. The operative word is “temporary”. This wire will be buried soon enough.

We have had a few calls to the Office about this wire and we cannot stop any utility company from repairing or upgrading their equipment that is on our property. These buried power cables are over 45 years old in most cases and they are failing. All of our 416 units would like to have continuous electricity so we have to endure some temporary cables on occasion.

I would imagine that Oncor and their subcontractors will be on property updating things for some period of time.

“AT&T Courtesy Representatives” on Property

Posted on by Don Ryan - 1 Comment

I am hearing from several sources that there are 2 young men, maybe in their mid-twenties, ringing door bells and stating they are with AT&T and will telling homeowners that AT&T will be installing fiber optics on our property. I was also told they were trying to enter houses, which there is no reason for that at all. I have also seen these people on the East side, latest reports are from the West side.

If these guys will not identify themselves properly or allow you to call their supervisor and validate who they are, please call the Police and report it.

Trees Damaged on West Side

Posted on by Don Ryan

The two trees shown below were planted about a year ago and are along Belt Line, between West Creek and West MC Drive.  I have noticed for maybe the past 3 months, limbs are being pulled or broken off these young trees and stuck into the ground. This is absolute vandalism of HOA property. I hope someone sees these kids and lets us know.

Those trees cost money and are not there for kids to destroy. They are there to make the property look nice.

Dogs on Common Property

Posted on by Don Ryan

We have been notifying residents for the past 4 years that they cannot let their dogs wander loose on our common property. All dogs must be on a leash and under your control whenever they are on common property.

We also have many dog owners who let their dogs defecate on common property and do not pick it up. I know other residents see this happen and we need you to take a stand and report these inconsiderate people to GP Animal Services. We have affidavits in the office that you can fill out and take to Animal Services.

If HOA personnel observe someone not picking up after their dog, we can fine you under Property Code 209.006 as a Health and Safety violation. We have spent a lot of money putting Pet Sanitation stations around the property; use them or be fined.
