Letter from the President We are thrilled to see the continued strong demand for Real Estate as more and more people discover the Hill Country. Comanche Trace is the shining light that offers something for everyone. We continue to see people search for the perfect small town. Kerrville checks off many boxes for our buyers, offering a variety of amenities, outdoor lifestyle, plenty of activities, small university, great medical facilities, new middle school, etc. The community is doing a wonderful job continuing to improve the assets of Kerrville, and the surrounding areas benefit as well. We are making great progress in Phase 16, which is located at the end of Comanche Hills/ Phase 15. Phase 16 consists of 31 lots offering views of Holes 8 & 9 of The Creeks, along with views of our 15-acre Practice Facility and Club House. Also, Phase 18 is moving along at a great pace. This neighborhood is located at the end of Pinnacle View Drive and is made up of 6 Single-Family Lots and 22 Modern Farmhouse Cottage Lots. CT Realty, led by our Broker, Stacy Stavinoha, has done a wonderful job as we transitioned this past year back to our in-house Real Estate Office. Our Broker, along with our 5 Agents, stay extremely active throughout the year. In fact, most of the transactions in Comanche Trace take place through our in-house Real Estate Office, CT Realty. Our team’s expertise and knowledge about the community itself from architectural knowledge to our Home Owner’s Association, Club Membership opportunities and new Phases is second to none. We are excited about the continued growth at Comanche Trace and look forward to having another stellar year in 2022. We appreciate everyone who has made Comanche Trace their place to call home. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Word From the Board Feedback on the speed limit signs has been positive. We continue to review the data provided by the signs, as it appears they have helped reduce speeds. Once we have enough data, the intent is to work with the city to get the speed limit on Comanche Trace Drive increased to 35 MPH. After reviewing bids, a contract was executed for removal of the dead trees and plants in all the common areas of the neighborhoods, and that work is ongoing at this time. Once completed, we will request a bid for any necessary replacement plants, plus a redesign of Ranch View Court and LaCumbre common areas. As reported at the June Board Meeting, our Lawn Maintenance Crews are fully staffed, and they have been catching up on weed removal, which has remained a challenge with all of the wet weather we

have experienced this year. We continue our weekly ride arounds with Dennis and have seen the improvements. We appreciate the increased attendance at the Quarterly Board Meetings and hope that continues. Our 2-year terms on the Board end with the Annual Board Meeting in December, and our positions will be up for election. If anyone would like information about being on the Board, please reach out to either of us. With the Board scheduled to become a Resident Majority Board in 2025, more people with prior Board experience will help when that transition occurs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Steve Forbus (sforbus@ comanchetrace.com) or Steve Schlaffer (sschlaffer@comanchetrace.com).

What is your decorating style? I don’t know about you, but mine changes. We recently purchased a 1960’s era home, and it is very MidCentury Modern. Every home has a unique personality, and different window covering needs. My previous home was a suburban traditional home, and I am truly having fun with the new style. My window coverings reflect Teresa Carosella • Owner that. Kerrville Window Fashion Motorized roller shades in the common areas are great, one touch of a button and they all open. Upstairs in the bedrooms, there is strong morning and afternoon sun, we went with PowerView Duettes in a lovely fabric. They are light filtering, but so well insulated we have the best of both, light and insulation. Again, a remote, ipad, or Alexa helps us control the situation. Our goal at Kerrville Window Fashions is to help our clients, make the right choice, the first time. We ask the right questions, so our clients get the functionality they need, with the beautiful style they deserve. Whether a home is Rustic Ranch, MidCentury Modern, Traditional, or anywhere in between, there is a window covering that is perfect for everyone. Considerations are function, style and budget, and should all be addressed with our professional sales team. We truly love what we do, and it shows. Stop by, call, or visit our website today, and you will experience the difference. Design simplified.

e are growing! It is exciting to see so many new homes under construction throughout the community. Every phase of the development has new construction underway. There are currently 500 completed homes in the neighborhood and 33 under construction with approximately 92 scheduled to start within the next year. Most of the homes being built are Custom Homes for people. There are a few Spec Homes underway as well, but most are already sold! We look forward to having many new families in the neighborhood.
Lock and Leave Home in The Hill Country. We continue to update our website with all that is happening in the neighborhood, but we would love for you to stop by The Welcome & Sales Center to visit with us about Comanche Trace and The Hill Country.
We are also growing with new phases. Phase 18 is now pre-selling with 6 Single Family Lots and 22 Farmhouse Cottages.

Golf Update B
y now most of you have been able to play The Creeks and Hills and have noticed the sod work completed to replace the surrounds. The project has gone very well, and the sod is taking nicely. Just a couple of more weeks and it will look like it has been there forever. Along with the new sod, we have also replaced about 150 irrigation heads with new state-of-the-art heads in order to manage the quantity and dispersion of water better. We have also begun the work on The Valley nine. Four greens; 1, 4, 5 and 6 have had the old sod removed and are being prepped for seed. The surrounds are also being replaced, and the Greens should be playable in about 90 to 100 days. We thank you all for your patience and understanding, and we look forward to great playing surfaces! Fall is perhaps the best weather for golf at Comanche Trace, and we are looking forward to many great events. CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP The Club Championship was a blast this year!

Golf Tip “Man that was a dumb shot!” I have used this phrase way too often when talking about my own game. I don’t mind a bad shot, but I cannot stand “dumb” shots. Golfers on all levels have a “go to” shot or shot pattern, yet we all try to pull off shots we know down deep we cannot hit. If you want to post your best score, don’t try to be a hero; play to your own strengths. A 1 in a 100 shot is so named because you only succeed maybe 1 in a 100 times! Why try? Accept a bogey and try to birdie the next one, limit the damage, and the beer always tastes better!

In a new Phase
Phases 16 and 18 creating a buzz at Comanche Trace While road construction and utility installation in Phase 16 continues, so do sales! Sixteen great lots have sold; which leaves only 15 left. They’re moving quick, so come choose yours now! Phase 16 is a Yard Maintained Neighborhood — making these lots and future homes the perfect “Lock & Leave” option. Square feet minimums are 1,800 sq. ft. with no maximum as long as your lot can accommodate a larger home. At the same time, we are very excited to share our NEWEST phase, Phase 18! Lot sales began September 18th. Phase 18 offers a total of 6 Single Family Lots & 22 Modern Farmhouse Cottages (See rendering of Modern Farmhouse Cottage at right). Phase 18 offers breathtaking views of holes 4, 5, and 6 of The Creeks 9, as well as peaceful Hill Country Views. These lots are very limited and activity is very high. Come walk the lots with one of our CT Realty Sales Associates, you don’t want to miss this! 12
