so what what do all these people do

112
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.759
that's a good question and we answer it

113
00:03:57.598 --> 00:04:00.798
quite often and we never mind revisiting

114
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.958
this information

115
00:04:00.798 --> 00:04:04.399
because it's again it's important as

116
00:04:02.958 --> 00:04:06.639
your community grows

117
00:04:04.399 --> 00:04:07.919
to understand who's doing what and who

118
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.399
who are your resources

119
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.000
and who you can reach out to so let's

120
00:04:10.399 --> 00:04:13.919
start with the developer

121
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.759
and the developer developers actually

122
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.839
created the master plan for the

123
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.919
community and the layout

124
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.320
they are installing the infrastructure

125
00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:25.279
which includes those curves the streets

126
00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.199
utilities the landscaping et cetera and

127
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:30.479
the developer of a community actually

128
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:32.639
forms the association and they also work

129
00:04:30.479 --> 00:04:34.559
with legal counsel in order to create

130
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.839
governing rules and guidelines that are

131
00:04:34.559 --> 00:04:37.600
going to protect

132
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.479
everything that we love about this

133
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.720
community how it looks and how it feels

134
00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:44.079
and during the development phase of the

135
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.919
community they're going to

136
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:48.160
provide for the shortfalls that are

137
00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:49.839
going to happen in the association funds

138
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.880
until we reach such time that the

139
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:54.079
association

140
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:56.239
can sustain itself then

141
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.440
once that all of that great stuff is

142
00:04:56.239 --> 00:04:59.359
installed

143
00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:01.600
then there has to be a body that's in

144
00:04:59.359 --> 00:05:03.519
place in order to maintain it

145
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.639
and be in charge of that and that is

146
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.880
what an hoa board of directors does

147
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.079
and they're made up of members right now

148
00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:13.440
of our development team

149
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:15.519
until we reach a point where we've sold

150
00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:17.119
enough homes and then we start to

151
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.279
transition those board seats to

152
00:05:17.119 --> 00:05:20.799
residents we've got a little ways to go

153
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.399
we're going to have a lot of opportunity

154
00:05:20.799 --> 00:05:24.479
for residents to get involved well

155
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:27.119
before that trigger happens

156
00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:28.559
and but for now uh the day to day is

157
00:05:27.119 --> 00:05:31.199
just handled by our development team

158
00:05:28.559 --> 00:05:33.759
serving as board of directors

159
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.839
that board is looking at our monthly

160
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.239
financials they're approving a budget

161
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:40.399
they are reviewing contracts and

162
00:05:38.239 --> 00:05:41.919
approving those they're determining what

163
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.479
the assessment rates are

164
00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:45.519
based on what the expenses are for the

165
00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:47.759
community

166
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.720
they are in charge of maintaining the

167
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.440
common areas

168
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.519
and enforcing the rules and their the

169
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:56.559
board of directors is responsible for

170
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.000
for making policies and to be carried

171
00:05:56.559 --> 00:06:00.720
out within the community

172
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.600
including establishing communities and

173
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.440
also

174
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.880
being responsible initially as the

175
00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:09.600
architectural control board

176
00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:10.720
now that is a full-time job all in and

177
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.039
of itself

178
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.919
and these guys have full-time jobs

179
00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:17.440
already

180
00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:19.279
and so they get to delegate those

181
00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:21.039
day-to-day operations to a very

182
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.759
qualified management team

183
00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:24.639
and that is your community life team and

184
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.440
we mentioned

185
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.279
uh on that previous slide the community

186
00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:30.799
live team that actually houses right

187
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.919
here at the union

188
00:06:30.799 --> 00:06:35.839

and we're also inspecting those common

221
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.359

maintain those relationships with those

227
00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:55.199
vendors hold them accountable

228
00:07:52.239 --> 00:07:57.279
to their contractual obligations um

229
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.160
we're overseeing the resale and transfer

230
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.160
of homes so

231
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.000
every time a home is sold in this

232
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.039
community and it has to go through a

233
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.039
process

234
00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:06.720
um with the association in order for

235
00:08:05.039 --> 00:08:09.598
that transfer to be complete

236
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.799
and we facilitate that as well as the

237
00:08:09.598 --> 00:08:12.479
covenant enforcement

238
00:08:10.799 --> 00:08:13.919
we've got some questions specific to

239
00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:16.000
covenant or rule

240
00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:17.919
enforcement in the community and later

241
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.319
on in this presentation

242
00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:21.759
we're also overseeing the architectural

243
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.399
control process

244
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.440
and we're managing the operations here

245
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.839
at the union

246
00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:29.759
and also staying informed of any

247
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.720
legislative changes and industry

248
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:34.320
advances

249
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:36.158
that come our way overall we're carrying

250
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.278
out decisions that are made by the board

251
00:08:36.158 --> 00:08:40.080
of directors

252
00:08:37.278 --> 00:08:40.799
and we're we're along the way acting as

253
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.039
a

254
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.080
a trusted advisor to the board with

255
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.320
regards to

256
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.440
our governing documents our contracts

257
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.719
financials

258
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.719
statutes etc

259
00:08:52.479 --> 00:08:56.880
okay so we've got a little bit of

260
00:08:55.278 --> 00:08:59.518
housekeeping to take care of

261
00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:00.559
for our master association and so with

262
00:08:59.518 --> 00:09:03.518
that we're going to

263
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:04.880
jump right into our easton park master

264
00:09:03.518 --> 00:09:08.080
annual meeting

265
00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:09.919
and with this is a an obligation

266
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.000
that every association must hold an

267
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.518
annual meeting and uh you know being

268
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.919
that we are in the very

269
00:09:13.518 --> 00:09:17.838
uh early stages of a community there's

270
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.799
not much action to be taken in an annual

271
00:09:17.838 --> 00:09:21.599
meeting now

272
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.239
in future years there will be a more

273
00:09:21.599 --> 00:09:24.320
robust

274
00:09:22.239 --> 00:09:25.838
annual meeting where there may be some

275
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.278
action that's needed on

276
00:09:25.838 --> 00:09:29.518
the part of the residence for instance

277
00:09:27.278 --> 00:09:30.719
an election um but that doesn't apply to

278
00:09:29.518 --> 00:09:32.398
us this year so

279
00:09:30.719 --> 00:09:34.799
with that we're gonna go ahead and get

280
00:09:32.398 --> 00:09:35.359
through this uh this fun part of the

281
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.119

287
00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:49.039
forum of representatives present at this

288
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.359
meeting

289
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.880

action items tonight

293
00:09:56.958 --> 00:10:00.398

and

295
00:10:00.398 --> 00:10:04.159
the next thing is to ask for a motion to

so adjourned and now we can get back to

306
00:10:26.398 --> 00:10:29.359
the fun part which is why we all tuned

307
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.398
in

308
00:10:29.359 --> 00:10:35.679
and that's for the the town hall so

309
00:10:32.398 --> 00:10:37.278
with that 2020 um

310
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.359
it's already in the rear view mirror

311
00:10:37.278 --> 00:10:41.440
right and what a year it was

312
00:10:39.359 --> 00:10:43.359
and there were several things that

313
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.719
happened i mean what didn't happen

314
00:10:43.359 --> 00:10:48.719
in 2020 and you know a year ago

315
00:10:46.719 --> 00:10:50.799
we were being introduced to the tiger

316
00:10:48.719 --> 00:10:51.200
king and that was probably the most fun

317
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.239
part

318
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:56.479
of 2020 or at least the beginning of it

319
00:10:54.239 --> 00:10:58.159
and outside of that then we went on the

320
00:10:56.479 --> 00:10:59.760
hunt for toilet paper and we're trying

321
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.880
to decide if we should wear a mask or

322
00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:03.200
not whenever

323
00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:04.078
out hunting for that um but a lot of

324
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.760
great things

325
00:11:04.078 --> 00:11:07.359
actually happened right here in easton

326
00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:10.000
park and

327
00:11:07.359 --> 00:11:10.640
despite everything that was happening in

328
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:13.440
our world

329
00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:14.880
outside of our boundaries here the

330
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.640
things that were happening here were

331
00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:19.359
blowing us away because we were just

332
00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:20.479
busier than ever and um some of those

333
00:11:19.359 --> 00:11:22.479
things are listed here

334
00:11:20.479 --> 00:11:23.518
so for instance the trail system

335
00:11:22.479 --> 00:11:26.320
expansion

336
00:11:23.518 --> 00:11:28.398
and we saw that expanded in 2020 we saw

337
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.078
the groundbreaking of kiki park as well

338
00:11:28.398 --> 00:11:33.518
as discovery park

339
00:11:30.078 --> 00:11:33.919
we added over 200 families to easton

340
00:11:33.518 --> 00:11:36.640
park

341
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:38.479
in 2020. that in and of itself is

342
00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:39.359
remarkable and probably deserves its own

343
00:11:38.479 --> 00:11:42.799
slide

344
00:11:39.359 --> 00:11:45.039
by itself and that is that is

345
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:46.559
amazing and the fact that we could grow

346
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.479
the community and that

347
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:52.638
uh that robustly we went virtual

348
00:11:50.479 --> 00:11:53.518
so all of the you know talk about having

349
00:11:52.638 --> 00:11:55.760
to pivot

350
00:11:53.518 --> 00:11:57.838
um early on in the year and then and i

351
00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:58.719
mean it was almost exactly a year ago

352
00:11:57.838 --> 00:12:02.398
whenever

353
00:11:58.719 --> 00:12:03.919
uh you know various uh organizations and

354
00:12:02.398 --> 00:12:05.278
entities were talking about what are we

355
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.440
gonna do if and when

356
00:12:05.278 --> 00:12:09.359
and then within two weeks of that time

357
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.398
we said well we're here and now what are

358
00:12:09.359 --> 00:12:12.799
we gonna do

359
00:12:10.398 --> 00:12:14.320
so um you know certainly there's no

360
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:17.119
manual written for those

361
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.919
for those types of events and uh this

362
00:12:17.119 --> 00:12:20.958
team i

363
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:22.880
i have to say did an amazing job because

364
00:12:20.958 --> 00:12:25.359
all the things that we had planned for

365
00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:27.599
2020 had to then go online

366
00:12:25.359 --> 00:12:28.799
and still find a way in order to bring

367
00:12:27.599 --> 00:12:32.638
people together

368
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:34.719
they still stay apart and so with that

369
00:12:32.638 --> 00:12:38.320
and clutt her team did an amazing job

370
00:12:34.719 --> 00:12:41.440
with holding over 40 events um

371
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.958
in the in 2020 that's almost an average

372
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.880
of one per week

373
00:12:42.958 --> 00:12:46.719
which is amazing some of those events

374
00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:48.719
are depicted here in the pictures

375
00:12:46.719 --> 00:12:50.799
and we got she got very creative with

376
00:12:48.719 --> 00:12:53.039
the the easter egg hunt

377
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.000
and we took it out into the community

378
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.320
and instead of

379
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.039
hiding eggs we had pictures of eggs and

380
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.880
we got

381
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.638
homeowners involved and asked them to

382
00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:01.679
create those signs and hide them in

383
00:13:00.638 --> 00:13:03.599
their yard and then

384
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:06.638
submit photos of whenever they were

385
00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:09.518
found and that kept away it kept

386
00:13:06.638 --> 00:13:12.078
kept us engaged with each other um we

387
00:13:09.518 --> 00:13:14.159
also played bingo in bryant park

388
00:13:12.078 --> 00:13:15.440
and had an opportunity to come out and

389
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:18.078
bring your blanket

390
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.039
and um you know social distance but

391
00:13:18.078 --> 00:13:21.278
still see

392
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.440
warm friendly smiling faces which was

393
00:13:21.278 --> 00:13:28.159
very much needed at the time

394
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:28.159
um we continued with food trucks

395
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.838
here at the union and parka palooza

396
00:13:31.838 --> 00:13:35.278
definitely a tradition here at easton

397
00:13:33.838 --> 00:13:37.278
park and

398
00:13:35.278 --> 00:13:38.638
wanted to keep that going and took that

399
00:13:37.278 --> 00:13:40.559
as a virtual event

400
00:13:38.638 --> 00:13:41.760
and then that great picture up there

401
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:44.000
with the rainbow

402
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:46.159
they were the winners of our uh our

403
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.799
costume contest and that was with

404
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:53.760
trail retreat in october of last year

405
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.479
one of my favorites was the porch

406
00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:57.679
portraits

407
00:13:54.479 --> 00:13:58.958
we had over 50 families participate

408
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.278
and we had one of our favorite

409
00:13:58.958 --> 00:14:03.518
photographers go out in the community

410
00:14:01.278 --> 00:14:04.638
and take portraits of folks just on

411
00:14:03.518 --> 00:14:07.518
their front porch

412
00:14:04.638 --> 00:14:08.000
and it was uh really inspiring to see

413
00:14:07.518 --> 00:14:10.559
this

414
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.919
and i just loved all the candid photos

415
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.719
all the smiling faces

416
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.078
and just encouraging through what was a

417
00:14:14.719 --> 00:14:19.760
pretty difficult year

418
00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:19.760
for a lot of people for a lot of reasons

419
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:25.198
so with that we also can review the 2020

420
00:14:23.518 --> 00:14:27.679
year in financials

421
00:14:25.198 --> 00:14:28.398
the association had a total income

422
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.958
collected

423
00:14:28.398 --> 00:14:35.359
of 736 000

424
00:14:31.958 --> 00:14:36.958
561 000 of that was via assessments from

425
00:14:35.359 --> 00:14:39.440
owners and builders

426
00:14:36.958 --> 00:14:40.638
and then other income which is mainly

427
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.320
through contributions

428
00:14:40.638 --> 00:14:46.320
um collected at closing of a hundred and

429
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:48.398
seventy four thousand dollars

430
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.479
our expenses we have this broken down

431
00:14:48.398 --> 00:14:52.799
into summarized categories with the

432
00:14:50.479 --> 00:14:54.239
first one being administrative

433
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.239
that expense of nine hundred and

434
00:14:54.239 --> 00:14:58.958
fourteen thousand dollars

435
00:14:56.239 --> 00:15:01.359
um our amenity maintenance expense was

436
00:14:58.958 --> 00:15:04.239
three hundred and three thousand dollars

437
00:15:01.359 --> 00:15:05.919
our communications we came in at ninety

438
00:15:04.239 --> 00:15:08.719
five hundred dollars

439
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:10.638
our community engagement budget uh we

440
00:15:08.719 --> 00:15:12.799
actually were under budget last year

441
00:15:10.638 --> 00:15:14.559
for obvious reasons and we came in at uh

442
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.919
just under thirty two thousand dollars

443
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:18.078
actual expense

444
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.000
our landscaping budget our i'm sorry our

445
00:15:18.078 --> 00:15:22.000
landscaping expense was three hundred

446
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.159
and five thousand dollars

447
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.000
and we were able to make a contribution

448
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.958
to our reserve account so that is a

449
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.320
savings account

450
00:15:26.958 --> 00:15:33.278
set aside for uh replacement of

451
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.198
elements uh within the community and not

452
00:15:33.278 --> 00:15:35.919
to be touched until much later down the

453
00:15:35.198 --> 00:15:39.198
road

454
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.838
and but that we were able to save 39

455
00:15:39.198 --> 00:15:42.958
dollars towards that account and then

456
00:15:41.838 --> 00:15:46.398
our utilities

457
00:15:42.958 --> 00:15:48.719
expense uh reached 171 thousand dollars

458
00:15:46.398 --> 00:15:50.799
so the total expenses there was one

459
00:15:48.719 --> 00:15:52.559
point seven seven five million

460
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.479
of course if you're doing the quick math

461
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.320
and it doesn't take much you see that

462
00:15:54.479 --> 00:15:58.479
there's quite the shortfall between the

463
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.719
expenses and the income collected

464
00:15:58.479 --> 00:16:01.919
the shortfall was actually made up of

465
00:16:00.719 --> 00:16:03.838
funds provided by

466
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:08.078
the developer so that we could we could

467
00:16:03.838 --> 00:16:11.119
meet those expenses

468
00:16:08.078 --> 00:16:14.479
winter storm yuri um so

469
00:16:11.119 --> 00:16:15.838
we continue to just uh

470
00:16:14.479 --> 00:16:17.599
you know start this year off with

471
00:16:15.838 --> 00:16:19.119
another bang but this one

472
00:16:17.599 --> 00:16:20.958
um could have been a lot worse for

473
00:16:19.119 --> 00:16:22.958
eastern park i know a lot of people did

474
00:16:20.958 --> 00:16:25.119
suffer a lot of damage in their homes

475
00:16:22.958 --> 00:16:27.919
and i'm real sorry for that the union

476
00:16:25.119 --> 00:16:29.838
also suffered some damage and i wanted

477
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.159
to review that with you guys

478
00:16:29.838 --> 00:16:34.078
and certainly our pool equipment our

479
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.119
team here actually took great measures

480
00:16:34.078 --> 00:16:38.159
in order to

481
00:16:35.119 --> 00:16:40.320
drain lines and prepare the pump room

482
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.518
the bathrooms and the parks as well as

483
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.958
here at the union

484
00:16:41.518 --> 00:16:47.198
um for this freeze but

485
00:16:44.958 --> 00:16:48.320
my goodness how i i don't think we could

486
00:16:47.198 --> 00:16:50.159
have prepared enough

487
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.000
for what was going to happen and

488
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.599
certainly we've got some damage to our

489
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.359
pool equipment lines

490
00:16:53.599 --> 00:16:58.000
and um we have uh parts on order and

491
00:16:57.359 --> 00:17:00.479
repairs

492
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.559
scheduled at this time um however they

493
00:17:00.479 --> 00:17:03.440
have not occurred just yet because as

494
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.838
i'm sure you're

495
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.198
experiencing uh either in your own home

496
00:17:05.838 --> 00:17:10.558
or other people that you know

497
00:17:07.198 --> 00:17:11.760
there is a shortage parts in labor and

498
00:17:10.558 --> 00:17:15.678
all over texas

499
00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:17.520
so we're filling the same panes here

500
00:17:15.678 --> 00:17:19.678
once that pool equipment is brought back

501
00:17:17.520 --> 00:17:21.438
online then we're going to be able to

502
00:17:19.678 --> 00:17:22.160
evaluate if there are other pressure

503
00:17:21.438 --> 00:17:24.318
leaks

504
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.359
um perhaps in the pool decking or

505
00:17:24.318 --> 00:17:27.520
underground

506
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.719
and we're hoping not and but

507
00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:30.319
unfortunately it's just one of those

508
00:17:28.719 --> 00:17:32.558
situations we'll have to evaluate once

509
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:35.280
that pool equipment comes back online

510
00:17:32.558 --> 00:17:36.079
our restrooms we also have busted pipes

511
00:17:35.280 --> 00:17:38.160
in there

512
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.319
and you know if you are familiar with

513
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.798
our amenity center and our pool

514
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:45.280
the the pump house and the pool

515
00:17:42.798 --> 00:17:47.839
restrooms are out close to the pool

516
00:17:45.280 --> 00:17:49.280
by design of course we want that and

517
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.239
they suffered some

518
00:17:49.280 --> 00:17:52.558
some some damage there so again parts

519
00:17:52.239 --> 00:17:54.479
and

520
00:17:52.558 --> 00:17:56.400
flavor are on order and we're just

521
00:17:54.479 --> 00:17:58.640
waiting for those things to come in

522
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.839
bryant park restroom and pavilion if

523
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.359
you've been over there you'll notice

524
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.760
that the restrooms are locked

525
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.520
that is because we also had some busted

526
00:18:03.760 --> 00:18:08.640
pipes in that restroom

527
00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:09.599
and we also have a two inch backflow

528
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.839
device

529
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:14.000
that is actually the secondary refill

530
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.520
for our rainwater storage tank so

531
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.119
if you've been here at the union and

532
00:18:15.520 --> 00:18:21.359
you've seen the big silver

533
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:24.319
uh cisterns or storage tanks those are

534
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.678
rain harvesting systems and um the

535
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.038
backflow for those

536
00:18:25.678 --> 00:18:29.439
have suffered some damage so all that to

537
00:18:29.038 --> 00:18:32.000
say

538
00:18:29.439 --> 00:18:32.719
that it has it was our absolute goal it

539
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.880
still is

540
00:18:32.719 --> 00:18:36.160
and we want to open this pool just as

541
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:39.038
soon as possible

542
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.000
uh spring break actually starts uh march

543
00:18:39.038 --> 00:18:42.160
14th

544
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.038
we were hoping to have this pool open

545
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:46.479
the weekend

546
00:18:43.038 --> 00:18:50.479
of march 13th and um

547
00:18:46.479 --> 00:18:54.000
with the how it's looking with parts and

548
00:18:50.479 --> 00:18:56.798
the back log of plumbing needs in

549
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.678
all over texas it's not looking likely

550
00:18:56.798 --> 00:19:00.400
that we're going to be

551
00:18:57.678 --> 00:19:01.359
able to open um for spring break weekend

552
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.280
however

553
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.599
um if that changes then we will

554
00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:07.199
certainly let you guys know right away

555
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:09.280
and we're going to start sending weeks

556
00:19:07.199 --> 00:19:10.160
starting tomorrow weekly updates to the

557
00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:11.839

thursday uh you'll receive an update on

560
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.400
uh these repairs and when the likeliness

561
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.678
of when the pool will

562
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.439
will be open so that aside we've got

563
00:19:21.678 --> 00:19:25.119
some wonderful photos here that were

564
00:19:23.439 --> 00:19:27.119
submitted by residents

565
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.678
and it's hard to believe this is even in

566
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.239
texas the snow was so beautiful and so

567
00:19:29.678 --> 00:19:32.558
deep

568
00:19:30.239 --> 00:19:33.280
the best part of it all was seeing

569
00:19:32.558 --> 00:19:35.599
everyone

570
00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:36.798
pull together in this time of need it

580
00:19:57.439 --> 00:20:00.640
provided that for each other

581
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.079

760
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.439
and then last but not least can we hold

761
00:26:16.159 --> 00:26:20.719
a covet 19

762
00:26:17.439 --> 00:26:24.159
vaccine clinic at the union so

763
00:26:20.719 --> 00:26:27.199
um currently we have not heard of any um

764
00:26:24.159 --> 00:26:29.678
covet 19 opportunities for private

765
00:26:27.199 --> 00:26:34.798
entities and small groups so we won't be

766
00:26:29.678 --> 00:26:36.640
able to do that at the union um and

767
00:26:34.798 --> 00:26:38.558
that is all i have for our community

768
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.839
engagement questions

769
00:26:38.558 --> 00:26:41.760
perfect and we'll turn it over to

770
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.599
christy thank you so

771
00:26:41.760 --> 00:26:45.279
these following questions pertain

772
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.479
specifically to the association

773
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.798
operations

774
00:26:46.479 --> 00:26:50.798
starting with the first one when is the

775
00:26:48.798 --> 00:26:51.439
hoa going to begin monitoring and

776
00:26:50.798 --> 00:26:53.599
finding

777
00:26:51.439 --> 00:26:55.119
residents for not upkeeping their yards

778
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:58.558
in landscaping

779
00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:01.359
and so the association does monitor

780
00:26:58.558 --> 00:27:03.678
and apply the compliance or the

781
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:06.159
enforcement process

782
00:27:03.678 --> 00:27:07.279
where needed and we have a new director

783
00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:10.000
of community operations

784
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.119
liza who i introduced earlier in the

785
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.959
presentation

786
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.558
she's currently evaluating our approach

787
00:27:12.959 --> 00:27:15.599
to monitoring for compliance

788
00:27:14.558 --> 00:27:18.159
specifically with

789
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.520
yard maintenance recognizing that with

790
00:27:18.159 --> 00:27:21.839
this winter storm

791
00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:22.880
um even our common areas have taken a

792
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.359
hard hit

793
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.918
thus uh we're you know going to consider

794
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.760
what

795
00:27:25.918 --> 00:27:28.959
over the next few weeks what is and what

796
00:27:27.760 --> 00:27:31.678
is not coming back

797
00:27:28.959 --> 00:27:32.640
and uh also helping some residents

798
00:27:31.678 --> 00:27:34.640
understand

799
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.239
um what their replacement needs are as

800
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.959
well pushing out some

801
00:27:36.239 --> 00:27:39.678
tips and some helpful information in

802
00:27:38.959 --> 00:27:42.558
order to

803
00:27:39.678 --> 00:27:42.880
help you guys determine um what is going

804
00:27:42.558 --> 00:27:44.479
to

805
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:46.319
come back and what is going to need to

806
00:27:44.479 --> 00:27:48.959
be replaced in your own yards

807
00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:50.959
and so be watching for that and as

808
00:27:48.959 --> 00:27:54.399
always we will be communicating

809
00:27:50.959 --> 00:27:56.159
where uh the uh where we need to have

810
00:27:54.399 --> 00:27:57.279
discussions with regards to compliance

811
00:27:56.159 --> 00:27:59.918
with our governing

812
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:00.880
documents so the next question was can

813
00:27:59.918 --> 00:28:03.359
the hoa

814
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.399
or can the association enforce the trash

815
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.279
and recycle

816
00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:09.119
recycle bin rules absolutely and this is

817
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.279
something that we do keep an eye on

818
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:13.359
um if you feel that we've missed an

819
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.640
opportunity to refresh your neighbor on

820
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.279
the trash can

821
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.399
requirement definitely reach out to us

822
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.359
and let us know

823
00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:23.279
we put the uh the email address at the

824
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.959
bottom right of the screen easton park

825
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.399
at dmv

826
00:28:23.959 --> 00:28:28.399
communitylive.com and you can reach out

827
00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:30.319
to via that email address for just about

828
00:28:28.399 --> 00:28:31.760
anything that you need and we'll be able

829
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.199
to point you in the right direction or

830
00:28:31.760 --> 00:28:36.079
provide some assistance

831
00:28:33.199 --> 00:28:37.038
and that includes reporting whenever and

832
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:39.599
you know there is

833
00:28:37.038 --> 00:28:41.439
uh the instance of someone who maybe

834
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.038
just needs a refresher on putting those

835
00:28:41.439 --> 00:28:46.159
trash or recycle bins away

836
00:28:43.038 --> 00:28:47.918
in accordance with the covenants

837
00:28:46.159 --> 00:28:50.159
next question was will the same

838
00:28:47.918 --> 00:28:52.479
reservation requirements be implemented

839
00:28:50.159 --> 00:28:54.479
at the pool this summer and when will we

840
00:28:52.479 --> 00:28:56.558
be able to have guests join us again

841
00:28:54.479 --> 00:28:58.558
that's a great question and by now i

842
00:28:56.558 --> 00:29:00.640
think everyone has likely heard

843
00:28:58.558 --> 00:29:03.199
uh about governor abbott's address

844
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:05.520
yesterday and the announcement that uh

845
00:29:03.199 --> 00:29:08.479
all previous orders and the mask mandate

846
00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:10.558
is going to be lifted next week and this

847
00:29:08.479 --> 00:29:13.839
is all very new information

848
00:29:10.558 --> 00:29:16.798
and because of that uh your board and

849
00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:17.678
uh all of us here at the yan are still

850
00:29:16.798 --> 00:29:19.520
evaluating

851
00:29:17.678 --> 00:29:20.798
and we're going to be sending an update

852
00:29:19.520 --> 00:29:23.839
to the community

853
00:29:20.798 --> 00:29:25.199
um prior to those orders new orders

854
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:27.839
taking up

855
00:29:25.199 --> 00:29:29.439
effect next week so for now we're in the

856
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.319
same phase of

857
00:29:29.439 --> 00:29:34.959
covet 19 protocol until a new plan is

858
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.959
announced

859
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:40.479
okay so is there a master plan map of

860
00:29:38.558 --> 00:29:43.119
easton park available to residents

861
00:29:40.479 --> 00:29:44.319
absolutely there is and if you visit our

862
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:48.880
neighbor network site

863
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:50.399
or you can go to eastonparkatx.com

864
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.839
and you'll be able to see the latest

865
00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:54.239
maps there as well lots of good

866
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.959
information

867
00:29:54.239 --> 00:29:57.760
do the public landscape areas get

868
00:29:56.959 --> 00:30:00.159
re-mulched

869
00:29:57.760 --> 00:30:01.918
and weeded in the spring are the public

870
00:30:00.159 --> 00:30:04.719
green spaces going to be freshened

871
00:30:01.918 --> 00:30:05.678
up yes the answer is yes the landscape

872
00:30:04.719 --> 00:30:08.000
maintenance agreement

873
00:30:05.678 --> 00:30:09.678
includes a mulch application and the

874
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.719
association has budgeted for

875
00:30:09.678 --> 00:30:13.119
improvements

876
00:30:10.719 --> 00:30:14.399
to the landscaped areas and that will

877
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:17.119
occur this spring

878
00:30:14.399 --> 00:30:18.798
we're also currently evaluating the

879
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:20.159
existing plants for the feasibility that

880
00:30:18.798 --> 00:30:21.599
they may come back

881
00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:23.119
after this winter storm so we're going

882
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.719
to salvage what we can we're going to

883
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:25.760
replace what we need to and we're going

884
00:30:24.719 --> 00:30:28.880
to refresh

885
00:30:25.760 --> 00:30:32.479
and all of these areas and i'm

886
00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:35.279
referring to all areas of easton park

887
00:30:32.479 --> 00:30:37.038
and can we address the litter in areas

888
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:38.558
bordering our communities so for

889
00:30:37.038 --> 00:30:41.678
instance mckinney falls

890
00:30:38.558 --> 00:30:44.000
slaughter 183 etc

891
00:30:41.678 --> 00:30:45.599
because these areas are not inside the

892
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:47.839
community the association

893
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.678
cannot spend funds to clean up those

894
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.839
areas however

895
00:30:49.678 --> 00:30:53.918
we love the idea of organizing a

896
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.000
community effort

897
00:30:53.918 --> 00:30:57.678
and the community life team joining as

898
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.959
well where we can come together in an

899
00:30:57.678 --> 00:31:01.119
organized fashion

900
00:30:58.959 --> 00:31:02.798
and beautify the surrounding areas we

901
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:03.279
think it's absolutely important to do

902
00:31:02.798 --> 00:31:05.359
that

903
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.239
and it is something that um that we plan

904
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:11.519
to organize this year so stay tuned

905
00:31:08.239 --> 00:31:13.199
and see let's see why are sprinklers not

906
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.199
turned off during the rain

907
00:31:13.199 --> 00:31:16.880
and we want them to be off during the

908
00:31:15.199 --> 00:31:18.880
rain and we hope that they are

909
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.959
if you notice that anywhere in the

910
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.640
common area that the

911
00:31:20.959 --> 00:31:24.558
sprinklers are running while it's

912
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.079
raining definitely use that email

913
00:31:24.558 --> 00:31:27.038
address in the bottom right corner and

914
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.159
let us know

915
00:31:27.038 --> 00:31:32.880
our common area controllers have

916
00:31:30.159 --> 00:31:34.558
rain sensors installed um so if you

917
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.439
witness that irrigation again

918
00:31:34.558 --> 00:31:38.319
that is and something that needs to be

919
00:31:37.439 --> 00:31:39.839
repaired

920
00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:43.439
that brain sensor probably needs to be

921
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.439
replaced and we need to know about that

922
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:46.558
let's see okay are there plans to add

923
00:31:45.918 --> 00:31:48.719
lighting

924
00:31:46.558 --> 00:31:50.479
along the walking or jogging trails um

925
00:31:48.719 --> 00:31:50.880
this was a question that we got at the

926
00:31:50.479 --> 00:31:53.359
last

927
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:54.880
town hall and just as we said then there

928
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.640
are no plans to add lighting to the

929
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:59.038
trails

930
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.319
is the pool area planned to be closed

931
00:31:59.038 --> 00:32:03.038
every year in winter

932
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:03.678
was this only because of covet it was

933
00:32:03.038 --> 00:32:06.399
covered

934
00:32:03.678 --> 00:32:07.279
that caused us to close the pool during

935
00:32:06.399 --> 00:32:11.599
the winter

936
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:14.000
and now the pool areas the area around

937
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:16.159
the pool itself the pool deck as well as

938
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:17.199
you know all the uh the areas in the

939
00:32:16.159 --> 00:32:19.678
courtyard

940
00:32:17.199 --> 00:32:21.599
and those areas are open for everyone's

941
00:32:19.678 --> 00:32:23.918
enjoyment year-round and we encourage

942
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:27.359
y'all to come out and use that space

943
00:32:23.918 --> 00:32:30.000
uh definitely okay and then

944
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.279
what is the status of trash and recycle

945
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.599
bins being added

946
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:35.599
to mailbox clusters this was another

947
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.918
question that was asked at the last

948
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.599
uh town hall on december 9th and again

949
00:32:37.918 --> 00:32:43.119
there are no plans to add

950
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:45.839
those bins to our mailbox clusters

951
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.678
we uh can we have charging stations at

952
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.000
the union for golf carts

953
00:32:47.678 --> 00:32:50.959
for when we are visiting and there's no

954
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.839
place to add

955
00:32:50.959 --> 00:32:56.719
charging stations for golf carts at the

956
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:59.678
union

957
00:32:56.719 --> 00:33:02.399
so we did receive um several questions

958
00:32:59.678 --> 00:33:03.918
that were specific to union park west

959
00:33:02.399 --> 00:33:06.159
so when union park west is the

960
00:33:03.918 --> 00:33:07.359
condominium section that is located at

961
00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:09.918
the corner of

962
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:11.038
colton bluff and mckinney falls parkway

963
00:33:09.918 --> 00:33:14.159
those questions

964
00:33:11.038 --> 00:33:16.239
um that we received were about amenities

965
00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:18.079
in that section of the community as well

966
00:33:16.239 --> 00:33:21.279
as maintenance dog stations

967
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:24.640
lighting et cetera and while union park

968
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:26.319
west is very much a part of easton park

969
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:28.399
it has a different developer and a

970
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.880
different builder the developer of that

971
00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:32.079
section

972
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.558
actually partners with a different uh

973
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.399
management company to manage those

974
00:33:34.558 --> 00:33:37.199
sub-association operations and that

975
00:33:36.399 --> 00:33:40.239
company is called

976
00:33:37.199 --> 00:33:41.119
associa so if you have questions with

977
00:33:40.239 --> 00:33:42.959
regards

978
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.719
to things that are within that section

979
00:33:42.959 --> 00:33:46.000
if you live in union park west and you

980
00:33:44.719 --> 00:33:47.918
have a question about

981
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:49.839

982
00:33:47.918 --> 00:33:51.599

985
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:58.479
you might want to jot that down

986
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.479
or you can just google them

987
00:33:59.678 --> 00:34:02.719
so with that we had some submitted

988
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.558
questions

989
00:34:02.719 --> 00:34:05.760
and that were specific for our

990
00:34:04.558 --> 00:34:07.519
development team so i'm going to turn

991
00:34:05.760 --> 00:34:10.320
this back over to matt mccafferty and

992
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.320
let him take it over

993
00:34:11.439 --> 00:34:16.320
thank you uh christy um so the first

994
00:34:14.560 --> 00:34:17.280
question is all revolved around the

995
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.320
amenities

996
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.199
so future amenities what can be done to

997
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:24.398
speed up the

998
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:26.320
development of additional amenities

999
00:34:24.398 --> 00:34:28.959
this is something that we also address

1000
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:32.320
kind of in the last town hall

1001
00:34:28.959 --> 00:34:34.158
we will always strive to to time

1002
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.520
the delivery of amenities with the

1003
00:34:34.158 --> 00:34:38.158
timing of development

1004
00:34:35.520 --> 00:34:38.560
and kind of based on the community needs

1005
00:34:38.158 --> 00:34:41.599
and

1006
00:34:38.560 --> 00:34:45.760
um you know the financial strength

1007
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:48.239
of the community at that time um

1008
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.479
when are additional amenities opening up

1009
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:54.079
skyline park

1010
00:34:50.479 --> 00:34:55.199
so i do have some good news while the

1011
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:58.239
previous statement

1012
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:58.239
is still held

1013
00:34:58.479 --> 00:35:04.399
true we are beginning the planning

1014
00:35:02.560 --> 00:35:06.479
phases of skyline park

1015
00:35:04.399 --> 00:35:09.040
and we're looking to start development

1016
00:35:06.479 --> 00:35:12.079
in march of 2022

1017
00:35:09.040 --> 00:35:15.118
um that gap in time period from

1018
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:16.159
right now until march is just the time

1019
00:35:15.118 --> 00:35:18.959
period that it takes

1020
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:22.879
to get through the permitting process

1021
00:35:18.959 --> 00:35:26.639
through travis county and city of boston

1022
00:35:22.879 --> 00:35:30.239
the dog park so

1023
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:33.199
again uh excited to to announce uh

1024
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:33.679
we are working with the hoa to sign a

1025
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:36.800
lease

1026
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:40.399
with the hoa for the site that is uh

1027
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:43.358
directly adjacent to the amenity center

1028
00:35:40.399 --> 00:35:44.959
this will not be the permanent dog park

1029
00:35:43.358 --> 00:35:46.159
but it will be adequate for the

1030
00:35:44.959 --> 00:35:49.358
community needs

1031
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:53.040
we will look to install benches

1032
00:35:49.358 --> 00:35:53.919
seating area shade cover fencing for

1033
00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:56.639
small dogs

1034
00:35:53.919 --> 00:35:59.199
and large dogs and we look to deliver

1035
00:35:56.639 --> 00:36:02.560
that in 2021

1036
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:06.719
that dog park will not

1037
00:36:02.560 --> 00:36:10.320
be taken down until the official new

1038
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:13.280
dog park uh location and designs are

1039
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:16.639
announced and open

1040
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:19.280
sports courts currently no plans for uh

1041
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:22.239
sports courts are in the works

1042
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.839
we strongly feel that that the

1043
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:27.599
surrounding areas provide

1044
00:36:23.839 --> 00:36:28.399
adequate sports needs and that's just

1045
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:31.520
not at the

1046
00:36:28.399 --> 00:36:34.800
at the top of the list currently

1047
00:36:31.520 --> 00:36:37.280
splash pads so a splash pad

1048
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.079
is part of the skyline park design

1049
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:41.040
concept

1050
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:42.000
and what we're working through so we are

1051
00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:44.719
looking

1052
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.959
uh to incorporate a splash pad within

1053
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.839
skyline park

1054
00:36:46.959 --> 00:36:51.358
uh community gardens uh currently no

1055
00:36:49.839 --> 00:36:54.639
community gardens are

1056
00:36:51.358 --> 00:36:56.320
are in the works as well is there any

1057
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:58.159
consideration for putting a

1058
00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:00.560
disc golf course in some of the green

1059
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:04.959
space uh so the answer to that

1060
00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:08.159
is yes right now we're trying to uh

1061
00:37:04.959 --> 00:37:10.959
finalize and install the uh

1062
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:11.520
balance of the trail system which will

1063
00:37:10.959 --> 00:37:16.159
run

1064
00:37:11.520 --> 00:37:19.118
um west or directly behind skyline park

1065
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.599
uh that being the neighborhood skyline

1066
00:37:19.118 --> 00:37:22.479
park

1067
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:24.239
not the specific skyline park and

1068
00:37:22.479 --> 00:37:26.000
provide that connectivity through a

1069
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:29.520
trail system

1070
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:33.280
up to the amenity facility once we

1071
00:37:29.520 --> 00:37:35.599
get the trail system installed and we're

1072
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:37.679
in a better cadence of staying ahead of

1073
00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:41.040
our trail system moving forward

1074
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:43.599
uh will be when we we look at

1075
00:37:41.040 --> 00:37:44.320
is if disc golf is something that's

1076
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:47.358
feasible

1077
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:49.439
that we can add to the community

1078
00:37:47.358 --> 00:37:51.280
are there any plans to include a skate

1079
00:37:49.439 --> 00:37:54.479
park as one of the many

1080
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:59.839
parks in easton park currently no

1081
00:37:54.479 --> 00:37:59.839
one on the skate park next slide

1082
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:05.599
last town hall we were told cbs

1083
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:07.520
construction would start in january and

1084
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:10.719
before that october

1085
00:38:07.520 --> 00:38:13.280
why is construction delayed so i think

1086
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:14.959
up until the last town hall when i

1087
00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.520
thought that they would be receiving a

1088
00:38:14.959 --> 00:38:18.560
permit

1089
00:38:15.520 --> 00:38:21.520
and starting development i had

1090
00:38:18.560 --> 00:38:24.239
constantly said that

1091
00:38:21.520 --> 00:38:25.919
we will not announce their construction

1092
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:28.800
um

1093
00:38:25.919 --> 00:38:29.599
so uh not sure where the october comment

1094
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:32.639
comes from

1095
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:33.040
but with regards to january i did say

1096
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:38.159
that

1097
00:38:33.040 --> 00:38:38.159
and our our current developer was

1098
00:38:38.479 --> 00:38:44.879
that is what they were striving to

1099
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:46.959
to pursue unfortunately they have

1100
00:38:44.879 --> 00:38:48.159
experienced delays with regards to

1101
00:38:46.959 --> 00:38:51.439
getting their their

1102
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:54.639
site permit they're still hoping to be

1103
00:38:51.439 --> 00:38:56.560
able to deliver a cvs in 2021

1104
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:58.479
based on the last conversation i had

1105
00:38:56.560 --> 00:39:03.358
with them a few weeks ago

1106
00:38:58.479 --> 00:39:05.439
um but they they are currently delayed

1107
00:39:03.358 --> 00:39:07.760
uh who do we contact for commercial

1108
00:39:05.439 --> 00:39:09.199
building business opportunities i'd like

1109
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.719
to open up a business

1110
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:13.439
near easton park so our developers first

1111
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.760
hartford

1112
00:39:13.439 --> 00:39:17.280
communities i believe that they have a

1113
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:19.599
listing broker

1114
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.599
who is currently listing the pad sites

1115
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:23.280
that are available

1116
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:25.439
that's the direction that i would point

1117
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.439
you

1118
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:30.719
how can easton park residents get a say

1119
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:32.320
in what business will be leasing the

1120
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:34.320
commercial spaces

1121
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:35.839
um so i would tell you that eastern park

1122
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:38.959
is a master plan

1123
00:39:35.839 --> 00:39:42.320
we kind of all get to say with with the

1124
00:39:38.959 --> 00:39:44.159
regards to the success of the community

1125
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.839
our developer is always going to be

1126
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:49.199
pursuing the the highest

1127
00:39:45.839 --> 00:39:52.959
and best use of of that space and the

1128
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:55.679
businesses that that will attract

1129
00:39:52.959 --> 00:39:57.679
so with with regards to that aspect we

1130
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.719
do get to say well we will not get a

1131
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.879
direct say

1132
00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:02.719
in the types of businesses and the

1133
00:40:00.879 --> 00:40:06.879
ultimate businesses that come

1134
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.879
to uh to that commercial space

1135
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:12.639
next slide other master-planned

1136
00:40:10.479 --> 00:40:14.800
communities have design standards

1137
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.839
for the incoming retail and commercial

1138
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:18.560
use buildings

1139
00:40:15.839 --> 00:40:19.679
are these in place for eastern park um

1140
00:40:18.560 --> 00:40:22.159
so there are design

1141
00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.959
standards and we are currently working

1142
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.280
closely

1143
00:40:22.959 --> 00:40:27.358
and have a strong relationship with our

1144
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:30.719
current developer

1145
00:40:27.358 --> 00:40:34.079
and we'll look to to help guide to uh

1146
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:36.079
to keep the consistency and cadence of

1147
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:37.358
the eastern park presentation throughout

1148
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:41.358
the

1149
00:40:37.358 --> 00:40:42.879
commercial and union park west

1150
00:40:41.358 --> 00:40:45.599
who is the leaseholder for the

1151
00:40:42.879 --> 00:40:46.000
commercial site east of the easton park

1152
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.358
sign

1153
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.118
i would like to know so i and other

1154
00:40:49.358 --> 00:40:52.479
residents can see how they are

1155
00:40:51.118 --> 00:40:55.358
developing the area

1156
00:40:52.479 --> 00:40:57.679
in front of william cannon drawings

1157
00:40:55.358 --> 00:40:59.439
depict a landscaping area

1158
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.358
and i'm curious about zoning

1159
00:40:59.439 --> 00:41:04.159
requirements uh

1160
00:41:01.358 --> 00:41:04.719
so this is kind of a two-part question

1161
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:07.760
or

1162
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:10.879
maybe even uh three part

1163
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:14.000
um part one uh the developer is

1164
00:41:10.879 --> 00:41:18.239
first hartford uh

1165
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:20.479
uh part two uh i've seen a number of

1166
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.760
iterations of their plans so i'm not

1167
00:41:20.479 --> 00:41:24.319
exactly positive

1168
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.679
on the landscape area that that you're

1169
00:41:24.319 --> 00:41:29.118
referring to

1170
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:31.520
um but if you'll

1171
00:41:29.118 --> 00:41:32.639
forward that to the hoa and have them

1172
00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:35.358
forward on to me

1173
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:36.000
i can gladly try and get ahead of that

1174
00:41:35.358 --> 00:41:39.599
and then

1175
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:42.800
uh with regards to uh zoning

1176
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.879
so our pud documents are laid out they

1177
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.879
are available online they are a publicly

1178
00:41:44.879 --> 00:41:48.959
recorded document

1179
00:41:46.879 --> 00:41:50.719
as well as our hoa staff should be able

1180
00:41:48.959 --> 00:41:53.040
to point you in the direction of the

1181
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:55.760
access of the pud document with regards

1182
00:41:53.040 --> 00:41:55.760
to our zoning

1183
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:01.520
are there any plans to gate the

1184
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:05.919
community

1185
00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:09.280
know the roads are public

1186
00:42:05.919 --> 00:42:12.800
owned by travis county and the utilities

1187
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:16.399
are public through city of austin

1188
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:18.719
there are no plans to gate the community

1189
00:42:16.399 --> 00:42:20.319
any decision on who the builders will be

1190
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:23.280
for discovery park

1191
00:42:20.319 --> 00:42:23.679
and when will it be open for home sales

1192
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:26.719
uh

1193
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:28.239
again two part um so

1194
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:31.919
we're working with our current builder

1195
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:34.399
partners we can't announce who the final

1196
00:42:31.919 --> 00:42:36.560
builders will be within discovery park

1197
00:42:34.399 --> 00:42:38.959
as soon as those agreements are in place

1198
00:42:36.560 --> 00:42:40.800
we'll be more than happy to

1199
00:42:38.959 --> 00:42:42.639
provide you with who the builders will

1200
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:45.520
be as far as when

1201
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:46.719
it will be open for home sales we are

1202
00:42:45.520 --> 00:42:50.719
hoping for

1203
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:51.439
fall of this year we want to stay in the

1204
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:53.439
neighborhood

1205
00:42:51.439 --> 00:42:54.560
and would like a chance to move into

1206
00:42:53.439 --> 00:42:56.639
discovery park

1207
00:42:54.560 --> 00:42:58.000
can current residents get a first bite

1208
00:42:56.639 --> 00:43:02.159
at the apple

1209
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:04.399
um my answer to you would be once we are

1210
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:06.639
announcing who the builder partners will

1211
00:43:04.399 --> 00:43:08.800
be that are going into discovery park

1212
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:12.159
would be to go have those conversations

1213
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:16.000
with those builders

1214
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:19.520
next slide uh how many homes does easton

1215
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:22.079
park expect to have by the end of 2021

1216
00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:23.839
um so our current estimates based on the

1217
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:26.959
absorption that we've seen

1218
00:43:23.839 --> 00:43:28.879
uh is about 12 to 1300 homes by the end

1219
00:43:26.959 --> 00:43:31.439
of 2021.

1220
00:43:28.879 --> 00:43:31.919
uh will the new school be a middle

1221
00:43:31.439 --> 00:43:34.079
school

1222
00:43:31.919 --> 00:43:35.439
and will all eastern park residents be

1223
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:38.319
able to attend

1224
00:43:35.439 --> 00:43:41.439
uh will bryant park be within the

1225
00:43:38.319 --> 00:43:45.679
boundary to attend the school

1226
00:43:41.439 --> 00:43:49.118
again kind of a three-part question

1227
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.000
so the first part we're going to work

1228
00:43:49.118 --> 00:43:53.280
with

1229
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:55.839
dbisd on what the needs are of the

1230
00:43:53.280 --> 00:44:00.319
community and the surrounding area

1231
00:43:55.839 --> 00:44:05.040
in the available land to determine the

1232
00:44:00.319 --> 00:44:05.040
ultimate school type and location

1233
00:44:05.439 --> 00:44:09.199
will all easton park residents be able

1234
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:12.560
to attend

1235
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:15.599
uh and will the bryant park

1236
00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:17.118
uh be within the boundary ultimately

1237
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:20.040
those are in the zoning

1238
00:44:17.118 --> 00:44:21.520
and uh processes and procedures through

1239
00:44:20.040 --> 00:44:24.159
dbisd

1240
00:44:21.520 --> 00:44:26.479
um we would expect that all of eastern

1241
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:29.599
park would be within those

1242
00:44:26.479 --> 00:44:32.199
and we'll work with dbisd

1243
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:35.520
on that but that will ultimately fall on

1244
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:37.520
dbisd's guidelines

1245
00:44:35.520 --> 00:44:39.439
what will be the land developed next to

1246
00:44:37.520 --> 00:44:42.560
the union and around the lake

1247
00:44:39.439 --> 00:44:46.000
in union park east uh so

1248
00:44:42.560 --> 00:44:49.199
this is both of the parcels that are

1249
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:52.319
one was discussed earlier with regards

1250
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:54.639
to a lease for the dog park

1251
00:44:52.319 --> 00:44:56.719
and one is the site that's right at the

1252
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:57.599
corner of william cannon and colton

1253
00:44:56.719 --> 00:45:00.479
bluff

1254
00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:02.399
and currently those are to be determined

1255
00:45:00.479 --> 00:45:04.079
we don't know the type of product or

1256
00:45:02.399 --> 00:45:07.919
type of use that will be going

1257
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:07.919
in those spaces as of right now

1258
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.639
next slide where what and where is

1259
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:16.479
linear park

1260
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:19.118
so linear park is in union park east

1261
00:45:16.479 --> 00:45:20.719
and it is the park as you are coming

1262
00:45:19.118 --> 00:45:23.839
between the model homes

1263
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:27.199
or adjacent to the pacesetter home

1264
00:45:23.839 --> 00:45:27.520
um that continues the walkway upwards to

1265
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:30.639
where

1266
00:45:27.520 --> 00:45:33.439
skyline park will be um more

1267
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:36.719
specifically at bifurcates union park

1268
00:45:33.439 --> 00:45:38.800
east into its two halves

1269
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:40.000
uh with the concern of affordable

1270
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:43.118
housing

1271
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.760
uh so i'm not gonna

1272
00:45:43.118 --> 00:45:49.199
kind of read the rest of this uh what i

1273
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.959
have mentioned with regards to our pud

1274
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.239
the affordability requirements are

1275
00:45:50.959 --> 00:45:55.280
within our pud

1276
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:55.679
we as a developer are extremely excited

1277
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.800
about

1278
00:45:55.679 --> 00:46:00.639
affordable housing it's been done in and

1279
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:03.760
around austin as well as in

1280
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.040
other cities around the country and has

1281
00:46:03.760 --> 00:46:07.358
always proven to

1282
00:46:05.040 --> 00:46:08.879
produce a better overall sense of

1283
00:46:07.358 --> 00:46:11.199
community

1284
00:46:08.879 --> 00:46:13.679
as i've mentioned many times we don't

1285
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:15.839
offer one specific product type and this

1286
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:18.000
isn't one small subdivision

1287
00:46:15.839 --> 00:46:19.439
we offer an array of product type

1288
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:22.639
whether that's for rent

1289
00:46:19.439 --> 00:46:24.800
multi-family to our largest square

1290
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:27.358
footage plans

1291
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:28.000
and our goal is to bring in people of

1292
00:46:27.358 --> 00:46:31.118
all different

1293
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:34.719
types walks of life

1294
00:46:31.118 --> 00:46:38.239
and i can kind of point you to

1295
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:39.839
miller to state that affordable housing

1296
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.599
can be done

1297
00:46:39.839 --> 00:46:44.800
and can be done well and can continue to

1298
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:47.439
add value

1299
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:49.199
to the community that you're within and

1300
00:46:47.439 --> 00:46:52.719
the broader macro community

1301
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.719
that be in austin texas

1302
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.760
next slide speeding continues to be an

1303
00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:59.919
issue

1304
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:01.439
can the association or developer do

1305
00:46:59.919 --> 00:47:04.639
anything about this

1306
00:47:01.439 --> 00:47:08.560
um yeah so we work with travis county

1307
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:13.118
uh uh and the constituents that

1308
00:47:08.560 --> 00:47:16.479
are elected to uh travis county offices

1309
00:47:13.118 --> 00:47:18.239
by all means please advocate either

1310
00:47:16.479 --> 00:47:20.800
through the association

1311
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:23.199
or you as a homeowners group

1312
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:27.040
individually

1313
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:30.000
you know these are public roads so

1314
00:47:27.040 --> 00:47:31.280
you know we can only advocate so much

1315
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:34.000
and sometimes

1316
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:35.439
it takes the constituents of a community

1317
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:38.639
in order to uh

1318
00:47:35.439 --> 00:47:40.719
be successful in those efforts

1319
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:42.639
as a developer do you have any influence

1320
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:46.399
with the county with regards to asking

1321
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:48.879
for improvements to intersections

1322
00:47:46.399 --> 00:47:50.639
so the short answer is no we do do

1323
00:47:48.879 --> 00:47:53.599
warrant studies

1324
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:54.239
we were hopeful that a traffic warrant

1325
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.479
or our

1326
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:57.559
current traffic warrant study would have

1327
00:47:56.479 --> 00:48:01.040
warranted

1328
00:47:57.559 --> 00:48:04.479
signalization at both uh

1329
00:48:01.040 --> 00:48:05.358
union park drive which is uh kind of the

1330
00:48:04.479 --> 00:48:08.879
intersection

1331
00:48:05.358 --> 00:48:12.319
of william cannon and

1332
00:48:08.879 --> 00:48:14.800
cardinal bloom where bryant park is and

1333
00:48:12.319 --> 00:48:15.760
south of cardinal bloom where union park

1334
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:19.760
drive

1335
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:21.919
is as well as at colton bluff and

1336
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:24.800
william cannon which is where our nob

1337
00:48:21.919 --> 00:48:27.520
hill residents currently are

1338
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.719
those intersections were not deemed

1339
00:48:27.520 --> 00:48:31.599
through the traffic warrant

1340
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:32.800
study to need uh signalization at this

1341
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.118
time

1342
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:37.199
there were two locations that were

1343
00:48:35.118 --> 00:48:38.239
deemed that we are working with the

1344
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.879
county currently

1345
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.479
to get signals up and hope to have up in

1346
00:48:40.879 --> 00:48:44.959
the next 12 months

1347
00:48:42.479 --> 00:48:46.000
uh that is at colton bluff in mckinney

1348
00:48:44.959 --> 00:48:50.719
falls

1349
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:54.079
and at daxton road in slaughter lane

1350
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:56.000
uh can dvisd influence the county to

1351
00:48:54.079 --> 00:48:59.280
install a crosswalk

1352
00:48:56.000 --> 00:49:01.280
um absolutely from from

1353
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:02.399
my understanding that the county also

1354
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:05.919
tries to work

1355
00:49:02.399 --> 00:49:08.000
and push on or i'm sorry dell valley

1356
00:49:05.919 --> 00:49:09.439
also tries to work with the county and

1357
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:13.358
push on the county

1358
00:49:09.439 --> 00:49:16.719
uh as well as we do we

1359
00:49:13.358 --> 00:49:17.280
we don't help guide those conversations

1360
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:20.319
on

1361
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:24.319
on behalf of the school district um

1362
00:49:20.319 --> 00:49:27.199
but you know everybody can can

1363
00:49:24.319 --> 00:49:27.760
take their uh different points of

1364
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:30.800
leverage

1365
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:34.639
to to try and um

1366
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:39.358
get the adequate uh roadway improvements

1367
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:44.639
or um you know safety aspects for

1368
00:49:39.358 --> 00:49:47.839
for the community advanced

1369
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:49.599
okay so um this would be the point

1370
00:49:47.839 --> 00:49:51.199
that we would be able to turn to the

1371
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.479
questions that were submitted during

1372
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:55.118
this presentation

1373
00:49:52.479 --> 00:49:56.719
unfortunately we are running long and so

1374
00:49:55.118 --> 00:49:58.000
what we're going to do is still take

1375
00:49:56.719 --> 00:50:00.559
those questions but instead

1376
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:01.760
of answering them right here right now

1377
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:04.879
we're going to

1378
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:07.679
uh respond and send those out in

1379
00:50:04.879 --> 00:50:09.839
an email email communication when we

1380
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:11.358
also send the link for this recording of

1381
00:50:09.839 --> 00:50:13.280

1403

for union park east neighbors to just

1404
00:50:53.839 --> 00:50:57.599

00:51:07.919 --> 00:51:11.599
so

1407
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:12.159
um okay so what we'll do if so she want

1408
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:14.319
to go on

1409
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:16.000
to the next slide okay this this

1410
00:51:14.319 --> 00:51:19.118
information is specific to

1411
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:20.399
union park east so if you own a condo in

1412
00:51:19.118 --> 00:51:23.118
that section

1413
00:51:20.399 --> 00:51:24.479
this is some good information for you um

1414
00:51:23.118 --> 00:51:27.358
if you don't live in that section

1415
00:51:24.479 --> 00:51:28.000
this will absolutely make no sense and

1416
00:51:27.358 --> 00:51:31.839
um

1417
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:35.358
and your and it won't benefit you so

1418
00:51:31.839 --> 00:51:38.159
with that union park east is the

1419
00:51:35.358 --> 00:51:40.319
what we call this section but your condo

1420
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:43.358
association the legal entity

1421
00:51:40.319 --> 00:51:44.559
is actually called ep residential condo

1422
00:51:43.358 --> 00:51:46.879
association

1423
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.599
and that condo association you are

1424
00:51:46.879 --> 00:51:50.719
paying

1425
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:51.439
uh dues to you're paying a master

1426
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:55.520
assessment

1427
00:51:51.439 --> 00:51:57.199
of 52.50 a month and that includes

1428
00:51:55.520 --> 00:51:59.839
all of these master association

1429
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:01.839
facilities and the use of those

1430
00:51:59.839 --> 00:52:03.358
um it also has included the maintenance

1431
00:52:01.839 --> 00:52:06.559
and irrigation water

1432
00:52:03.358 --> 00:52:08.079
for all the common areas and as

1433
00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:11.280
including those common areas that are

1434
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:13.599
within your section union park east

1435
00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:15.040
and so then the next association

1436
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:18.559
assessment that you pay

1437
00:52:15.040 --> 00:52:21.280
is 7.35 that actually stays

1438
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:23.520
with your condo association and it's

1439
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:26.639
used for the administrative

1440
00:52:23.520 --> 00:52:29.760
functions that the association

1441
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:30.719
participates in so because your section

1442
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:33.839
is a condo

1443
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:34.800
section it literally has to have its own

1444
00:52:33.839 --> 00:52:38.079
entity

1445
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:40.959
and it can't be part of um

1446
00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:41.919
i'm sorry a condo section and a single

1447
00:52:40.959 --> 00:52:45.280
family home

1448
00:52:41.919 --> 00:52:47.199
community can't all be part of one

1449
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:49.520
one association because they're governed

1450
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:51.839
by different uh property codes

1451
00:52:49.520 --> 00:52:54.239
so just a little bit of information

1452
00:52:51.839 --> 00:52:55.919
there and you also pay a service area

1453
00:52:54.239 --> 00:52:56.719
assessment of twenty dollars a month

1454
00:52:55.919 --> 00:52:58.239
currently

1455
00:52:56.719 --> 00:53:00.079
that is basically your landscape

1456
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.879
services and so

1457
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.959
that is the part we've got to change and

1458
00:53:02.879 --> 00:53:07.358
this is to your benefit this is actually

1459
00:53:04.959 --> 00:53:09.199
an increase in service for just a very

1460
00:53:07.358 --> 00:53:11.280
minimal increase in price

1461
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:14.239
so with an additional six dollars and

1462
00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:16.959
four cents a month beginning in 2022

1463
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:17.358
and not before then and we're going to

1464
00:53:16.959 --> 00:53:21.040
start

1465
00:53:17.358 --> 00:53:22.639
including two irrigation inspections uh

1466
00:53:21.040 --> 00:53:24.559
on the irrigation system that serves

1467
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:27.520
your home and include

1468
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:28.239
any repairs that need to be made to that

1469
00:53:27.520 --> 00:53:31.760
irrigation

1470
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:34.000
so currently today um

1471
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:35.439
any repairs to irrigation you have to

1472
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:36.239
find them and you have to repair them

1473
00:53:35.439 --> 00:53:38.239
yourself

1474
00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:39.919
for just six dollars a month the

1475
00:53:38.239 --> 00:53:40.959
association is going to start taking

1476
00:53:39.919 --> 00:53:44.159
care of that

1477
00:53:40.959 --> 00:53:45.760
and for the remainder of this year uh

1478
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:48.239
your builder your developer is actually

1479
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.199
going to cover that six dollars a month

1480
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:52.719
for you

1481
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:55.118
and and so 2022 will pass that

1482
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:56.319
expense on and your dues will increase

1483
00:53:55.118 --> 00:53:58.000
by that amount

1484
00:53:56.319 --> 00:53:59.679
of course we'll send out communication

1485
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:02.000
and remind you of that change

1486
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:03.358
as we get closer so what type of

1487
00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:06.000
landscape services

1488
00:54:03.358 --> 00:54:07.599
are going to be included again we're

1489
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:09.439
covering the mowing and the edging of

1490
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:11.760
the turf

1491
00:54:09.439 --> 00:54:12.719
as well as blowing away any cut

1492
00:54:11.760 --> 00:54:14.399
materials

1493
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:15.919
the assessments again are going to cover

1494
00:54:14.399 --> 00:54:19.040
now two additional

1495
00:54:15.919 --> 00:54:22.559
or two annual irrigation inspections

1496
00:54:19.040 --> 00:54:24.719
those irrigation repairs and an annual

1497
00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:26.399
mulch refresh which is great because

1498
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:27.280
that's also something that had been on

1499
00:54:26.399 --> 00:54:30.319
your plate

1500
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:32.319
and to have to to provide for but now

1501
00:54:30.319 --> 00:54:35.358
the association is going to include

1502
00:54:32.319 --> 00:54:37.118
um one application of mulch per year

1503
00:54:35.358 --> 00:54:38.559
so what does that leave for you you're

1504
00:54:37.118 --> 00:54:40.479
still going to be responsible for

1505
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:42.079
treating the weeds trimming and

1506
00:54:40.479 --> 00:54:43.280
replacing trees and maintaining your

1507
00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:46.079
planters

1508
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:46.559

uh help things it might um you know

1565
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:39.599
really the best thing that we can do is

1566
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:42.000
hold each other accountable

1567
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:43.679
so if you're out about and you see

1568
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:44.239
someone who's not picking up after their

1569
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:46.079
pet

1570
00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:48.319
you know sometimes just saying something

1571
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:50.319
helps if you're not comfortable doing

1572
00:56:48.319 --> 00:56:52.799
that and you can report that issue to us

1573
00:56:50.319 --> 00:56:54.559

1574
00:56:52.799 --> 00:56:55.839
um how is parking and road maintenance

1575
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.839
handled in union park

1576
00:56:55.839 --> 00:56:59.358
east as since the neighborhood consists

1577
00:56:57.839 --> 00:57:00.639
of private streets and driveways so

1578
00:56:59.358 --> 00:57:03.118
that's a great question

1579
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.799
and for our private streets and union

1580
00:57:03.118 --> 00:57:08.239
park east are actually maintained

1581
00:57:04.799 --> 00:57:10.319
by the master association so part of the

1582
00:57:08.239 --> 00:57:12.079
funds or the assessment that you pay

1583
00:57:10.319 --> 00:57:15.679
monthly actually goes

1584
00:57:12.079 --> 00:57:18.319
towards maintaining those streets and

1585
00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:19.280
just whenever maintenance is needed then

1586
00:57:18.319 --> 00:57:21.358
the

1587
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:23.679
association master association will be

1588
00:57:21.358 --> 00:57:26.799
applying that maintenance

1589
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:29.199
okay so uh with that i have been

1590
00:57:26.799 --> 00:57:31.919
monitoring if any questions have come in

1591
00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:33.520
