LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello fellow residents. Spring is already upon us. Where did the winter go? The pool be opening next month and many summertime events are already planned. Please see the social calendar later in this newsletter for upcoming events. By now the new septic system for the clubhouse should be complete. It will be nice not to need portable toilets for our events. The new septic system is significantly larger than the old one and even allows for us to expand and tie into the system in the future. Some specifics about the new system are mentioned later in this newsletter. In early February, we sent out an online survey requesting opinions on the likes and dislikes of the current clubhouse. There has been discussion regarding the clubhouse for some time now and the board is debating on remodeling or replacing the clubhouse so we sent a survey to gain community feedback. Within one week we had over 400 responses. While the range of feedback was wide, some of the common responses included a bigger gym, additional meeting rooms, bigger kitchen, larger main area, and updated bathrooms. There seem to be a common theme of bigger is better. Isn’t that typically the way it goes in Texas? One thing for certain is that there are plenty of opinions. So do we make it bigger by remodeling, or by replacing it all together? While it seems an easy decision to make the clubhouse larger, we have to keep in mind that if we enlarge the footprint of the building, we are taking that area from something else. For example, if we extend the clubhouse wider, we may take away some of the area used for the music in the park events. Another question is how much can we afford to build or remodel? What will it cost? How do we pay for it? One thing for certain is that all these questions will be addressed and many options explored prior to any final decisions. This
project is a huge undertaking and will require many hours of discussion. For those of you who don’t get the opportunity to attend the board meetings, I’d like to share some information with you about deed restriction violations. Spectrum Association Management company drives our community twice per month making inspections. During these inspections, they observe and note deed restriction violations and send out violation notices to residents. If you receive a violation notice, please read the notice carefully. It will state the violation and what to do after the violation is cured. If you have questions about the violation, call Spectrum for clarification @ 210-494-0659. It’s important that you notify Spectrum that the violation is cured so it does not elevate to the next level which could include fines against your account. As a reminder, if you plan on doing a home improvement project such as a pool, fence, driveway, or any other project on the outside of your home, you are required to turn in a project Continued inside
