There is a hearing July 12, 2018 to determine if Southwest Water Company is a Class A or Class B utility.  Indications are that this will be a drawn out process.  Phase I proposed rates will go into effect Sep. 24, 2018.  This is only temporary until the final rates are agreed upon.

The old River City Metal Finishing Co. property on Potranco Rd between Potranco Automotive and Lone Star Cross Fit had been placed on the National Priority List for cleanup by the EPA.  It has been approved and the EPA has scheduled a community hearing for Aug 14, 2018 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM here at the church.  At that time they will explain what they will be doing to get this cleaned up so that our water supply stays safe which it is right now.

Richard has suggested that the POA send letters to the owners of 18 wheeler vehicles that are parking in our subdivision advising them of the new county signs that prohibit these types of vehicles from entering except for local deliveries. A motion was voted on and approved for letters to be sent if the Sheriff’s department won’t send them.  Linda is talking with Deputy Marquez to see what can be done but it is still the responsibility of a resident to call the Sheriff if they see a violation.

Garage sale signs are still being posted at the entrance.  It was voted on and approved that letters be sent to violators.  Richard provided the address, 11906 White Birch, of the last sign he removed.

Open Forum

Larry asked if anyone knew if the Geronimo Fire Department had stopped having their BBQ dinners.  Richard said that they are now funded by the ESD so probably don’t need the funds anymore.

It was pointed out that a tree at the southwest corner of Poinciana and Silver Maple is blocking the speed limit sign.  Also, there is a rut in the cul de sac on Eucalyptus.  Linda will report these to Bexar County Public Works.

Thank you to Albert and Richard for the litter cleanup.

New Business

Eldon read a statement regarding the trucks over 1 ton in our neighborhood.  “The law regarding trucks in our subdivision is as posted by Bexar County at each entrance of the subdivision ‘Trucks over one ton prohibited except for local deliveries’.  Violation of this ordinance can result in a citation by local law enforcement.  The Coolcrest POA does not have the authority to enforce this ordinance or to grant exemptions to it.  Violation of this ordinance is at your own risk.

The shopping center at Silver Maple and Potranco is still going forth.  They are in the process of surveying and getting permits.

Richard called Chico Rodriguez’s office regarding the need for speed bumps as people are still speeding down Silver Maple and not stopping at the stop signs.  He spoke with Sylvia who contacted Bexar County.  Mr. Franz called Richard and stated that towards the end of May, they would come check things out.  Richard also told him that the entrance is too narrow.

Old Business:

• No Trucks Over One Ton Signs have been installed in the subdivision. We still have 18 wheelers in the subdivision that reside there. The Sheriff’s Department is looking into any trucks that are parked on the street. Trucks parked in driveways is okay, they just cannot be parked on the street. Several residents were in attendance concerned on what was allowed.
• Speed limit sign on Poinciana that was down has been reinstalled
• Construction on Potranco – lane switch scheduled for March 16^th
• Flashing lights around stop signs- this has been looked into and it’s too costly

• Neighborhood clean up at the entry way – Saturday March 31^st at 9:00 a.m.

Open Forum:

• Lot next to the Whites on Poinciana has had a lot of gravel put down and a new commercial looking fence and gate. Appears like a business. Scotty is going to call the Code Compliance department to check on this and the POA board may need to send a letter to the lot owner.

A letter was sent to Mr. Bhinder, owner of the property at 11912 Potranco Rd., stating that if he met all of the deed restrictions, he could move a mobile building onto  this property.  The letter also asked him to sign the letter indicating that he would meet the deed restrictions and also not sell fireworks on the property.  As of this date, we have not had any response from Mr. Bhinder.

Albert indicated that a “Stop Ahead” sign had been knocked down on Bois D’Arc.  Linda will get him the phone number to call to have it replaced.

A drainage problem exists between Eucalyptus and Bois D’Arc as people have filled in a natural drainage area in their yards. As this is on personal property, the POA can not do anything about it.

Eldon, Richard, and Linda met with the owner of the property at 11912 Potranco on Mar. 11, 2017 to discuss the sale of fireworks on that property.  The owner, Mr. Bhinder, did not agree with the POA’s decision to prohibit the sale of fireworks anywhere in the Coolcrest Subdivision.  He also brought up the loss of a lease on that property for a bar & grill and was told by the lessee that the board had said no to having that business.  We explained that they never brought any plans to us for approval so there was no decision.  He then requested approval to move a mobile office onto that property for a liquor store.  The initial decision was no as the building was mobile but after further review of the deed restrictions pertaining to commercial property a letter will be sent agreeing if all deed restrictions are met and he adheres to the no fireworks decision.

New Business

Decision made to postpone the April Flea Market due to the road construction & safety issues.  A decision will be made at the May meeting whether or not to hold one in June.  Linda will send email to notify everyone and update website.

Litter pickup not needed as Richard has already done it.  Thanks Richard

Plans were reviewed and approved for new home construction at 12054 Grapevine

An email request was made by the realtor for the buyers of the property at 12133 Madrona for clarification that a duplex/apartment could be built on this lot.  An email response was sent citing the deed restriction for single family home construction only.  They then asked if the lot could be sub-divided and a response was sent stating that sub-dividing must be approved by the board and with 10 foot restrictions on each side that would not leave enough room for a home.

Flea market dates for 2017 are April 1 and October 7.

A letter was sent last year informing the owner of the old El Gato property on Potranco  Rd. that firework stands are not allowed in the subdivision.  A fireworks stand was set up there again this year and Eldon talked with the property owner who was in the hospital at the time.  The owner said he would get back with Eldon in 2 weeks.  Due to there being only 3 days left in the year, taking legal was not feasible.  If no response, Eldon will contact him again.

Juan Estrada, property owner on Grapevine has 3 lots and wants to put mobile homes on them.  Richard advised him of the deed restrictions.
