LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Happy Spring to all of you!
In my last letter I briefly referenced the non-annexation agreement that Timberwood Park has with the City of San Antonio that extends to December 30, 2033. As you may have seen during the last Texas legislative session, Senate Bill 6, which allows residents of areas up for possible annexation by Texas cities to hold a referendum and vote on whether the annexation can go through, was signed into law. One of our residents reached out to our State Representative Lyle Larson to clarify whether or not this new law only covers new attempts by cities trying to annex new areas. (Basically, does our annexation agreement somehow prohibit Timberwood residents from having the right to vote when our non-annexation agreement ends.) Rep. Larson stated in an e-mail reply that as long as the annexation law is not changed before the end of the nonannexation agreement, we should have the opportunity to vote. This is definitely something to keep an eye on as it can have a significant impact our community in the future. Another thing I’d like to pass along a request and reminder that if you have any type of addition, improvement, expansion, or other type of project that affects the outside of your home, please be sure to submit your project information and get approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The intent of this effort is to simply ensure that the neighborhood’s architectural guidelines are followed. For more information on the required forms and submission procedures, please see the article later in this newsletter. Thanks again to Terri Edwards and the Landscape Committee who continue diligently working through their park landscaping plan. The Memorial Tree Program that they developed is off to a good start, and we have some nice-size trees as a result of it that are also a really nice remembrance of to family members and friends of Timberwood residents. Also the decades-old red tip photinia bushes by the sports courts, all of which were dead or dying and looked terrible, have been removed and replaced with new landscaping. And the long-awaited clubhouse proposed design is so close! At the time of this writing the floor plan and exterior elevations, including a color rendering, have taken shape, and we’re now moving to the bidding stage so that we can finally get a good cost estimate. All of this information will be presented to the community for consideration and for voting very soon. My fellow Board members and I thank you for your patience, and we hope you will be pleased with all that we are proposing. Thank you for your time, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood! Greg Matula TPOA Board President
