New Planned Route for 549 to & from 1139

Posted on August 22, 2015 Posted in Community, Government News

View the engineering drawings showing the new route of 549 at the curve where it intersects FM 1139. The change is significant and will dramatically impact our route into Rockwall. Crossing this 4 lane intersection will become much more dangerous as traffic volume on 549 increases. Many are concerned about the safety issues. The ingress & egress points to and from 1139 from and to 549 is most alarming, as it will become necessary to zig zag as shown on the attached markup. The original TxDOT map (unmarked) and a larger view showing the new alignment on 549 are also attached. Click

“Recount of Votes Policy” Adopted in Advance of Ballot Initiative Vote Tally

Posted on March 5, 2015 Posted in Ballot Initiative, Board Meetings, Governing Documents, Policies, Property Code-Texas, Voting & Elections

A Recount of Votes Policy was adopted during Tuesday’s regular Board meeting to help ensure that the Association will not be responsible for the costs associated with such a request. The policy mirrors Texas Property Code Section 209.0057(b), which requires any party making the request to pay all costs associated with a recount unless the recount changes the results of a vote, wherein the Association would then be responsible to reimburse the requesting party/parties. This comes on the heels of a frivolous open-records request by a homeowner who was demanding that the Association (fellow homeowners) foot the bill for the time

Posted on February 14, 2015 Posted in Uncategorized

A great big THANK YOU to homeowners David & Misty (and their daughter Ashleigh) Hoye for sacrificing their Saturday morning to help improve and beautify Quail Creek. The fence that runs along Pheasant Hill for fifty yards at the turn where Quail Creek Road ends and Pheasant Hill Drive begins, has always been a blight on the neighborhood. During last November’s Board meeting, David, who has teamed up with fellow member of the Archectural Review Committee (ARC) David Fuller to apply “cold patch” to the cracks at the entrance of our neighborhood, moved to approach the landowner for permission to paint the side

JANUARY 25, 2015, MCLENDON-CHISHOLM, TX–Tonight, by a 4 to 1 margin, the City Council of McLendon Chisholm voted to approve the purchase of a municipal bond in the amount of $2.125 million to fund construction of a new 5,000 sqft City Hall building, $612,500 more than the Council had told citizens.
