I want to express my appreciation to those of you taking your time to take
care of our neighborhood. I myself have been involved in this type of
process in the past I know the effort it takes to address these concerns.
I have not contributed to our neighborhood in this manner but hope to be
more involved in the near future. Thank you so much
With gratitude

Jay,
Can you call me? Want to figure out how we can best support you. They have
40 more units to squeeze onto that lot and it may be best to start pleading
our case with the city sooner than later.
I have an acquaintance pulling their permit and approved plans already.

I am a COVNA member and direct neighbor to the condominium development on
Comburg Drive. Earlier this week they poured the footing/slab for a new
unit. Cement trucks were coming down Comburg Dr and Comburg-Castleway all
day. These were not disruptive to me even although I do recall the City
and the Developer agreeing that the crash gate entrance would not be used
for construction access. I am concerned that the iron gate will not be
secured and the wind will blow it into the side of my vehicle parked on the
street curb.
However, I need to pursue a bigger issue with the City. After every hard
rain (like the 10 inches we got last weekend from Harvey) the development
drain system overflows and the mud comes down the northeast side of
Comburg-Castleway and then down Comburg Drive to the drain between 9003 and
9005 Comburg Drive to the settlement basin behind. It also comes on my
back lot through the fence despite the silt barrier. It remains so damp
that some of the trees the city made them leave have damaged roots (rot).
They have fallen across the property line onto me destroying our boundary
fence.
In addition, I asked the City to contact me as a 'direct impact' neighbor
before this development was approved. They never put me on the list and so
I was never contacted. I don't have access to a gate on the NW corner of
my back lot. It could have been easily provided with an opening in the
developed area security fence. All I need is access 1-2 times per year to
maintain my property per city ordinances. I spoke to developer after it
was approved and he declined to allow me access even if I paid him for his
trouble. I see he did respond to his own tenant's request for a
combination locked personal gate so they can gain access to
Comburg-Castleway. I really don't have a problem with them coming
through with their pets and exercising. It's a public street after all.
However, I doubt that personal gate was in the original plans approved by
the city (the excuse the developer gave for not allowing me access).
Sorry for the diatribe....got to turn my venting into action.

We opposed speed bumps the last time the topic came up for Crownspoint,
and we continue to do so. In our last neighborhood,
we had to deal with the speed bumps that were installed on Seminary Ridge
every single time we left our home. While well-intentioned, they were a
real nuisance for people in small cars like us. Oftentimes people would
create a safety hazard by swerving into the middle of the road to make it
easier to get over the hump. The folks who drove big fast vehicles
continued to drive as they always had, seemingly unaffected. I hope your
experience on Monarch will be a more positive one and that you will be
pleased with the results.

I believe some of the residents on Monarch had been pushing for speed
abatement directly with APD and the city. I am sure the light going in at
Monarch/Manchaca is not going to help matters either for them. Inquiring to
see what exactly they are planning on installing.
Will report back on both this and conversations with developer.
Thanks everyone!

We did discuss speed bumps before and voted them down! I am opposed,
also. Big trucks still run over them but those of us in regular cars have
to endure the bumps and the trucks zooming around us.

Was our agreement w/ the developer an oral, hand-shake understanding, or
do we have something in writing from him/her? I'm opposed to speed bumps.
Didn't we go through this discussion before with the agreement that we
didn't want them? Do the residents on Monarch want this?...margaret on

This morning I saw that the emergency gate was open and a truck and
trailer leaving. Can anything be done to remind the developer that this
gate was supposed to be used for emergencies only.
I see that signs have been posted on Curlew and Monarch for upcoming
speed humps. I hoped that the traffic engineers factored in the effect of
more traffic on Crownspoint, Queenswood and Castlewood.
Thanks,
