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.

It was decided that we might possibly hold a Flea Market in October as the eastbound lanes of Potranco should be completed by the end of August, 2017.  The westbound lanes are scheduled for completion by the end of February, 2018.  There will be a traffic light at American Lotus.  There will be a designated turn lane into Coolcrest and you will be able to turn either direction when exiting Coolcrest.  There will be a median between Waterstone and Empressario and another at Grosenbacher.

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.

Next meeting will be July 11, 2017

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.

The speed monitor sign has been received by Bexar County Public Works but was missing some parts.  When those are received, it will be installed.

Dumpster Availability – Eldon & Albert met with Bexar County Public Works rep to discuss this issue.  They found out that this would be open to everyone and not just Coolcrest residents.  Any damage on the property used would be our responsibility along with other areas of responsibility.  Albert checked and there are no other scheduled dump days in this area.  Issue tabled for now.

Bulletin board sign has been updated with new meeting place address and website info

Trash pickup was cancelled as Richard had already picked everything up.  Thanks Richard.

At a prior meeting, residents at Madrona and Yellow Birch had complained of flooding.  This is not a POA issue but recently  Eldon met with the residents and Bexar County Public Works.  It was learned that the developer’s submitted plan was not accurate and therefore, flooding was occurring.  Public Works will get with the developer.

No response from Frank regarding his contact with owner of property across from Tinka Taco and our proposal to place railroad ties across property line to keep vehicles from parking there.  Eldon will check with Frank and if no contact has been made, a letter will be sent to owner.

Presentations by various government entities were made first.

Tony Vasquez, Bexar County Public Works Division Chief, explained that a site analysis of our subdivision was done.  As a result of this study, there will be a four way stop installed at Silver Maple and Bois D’Arc.  Construction starts the end of the month.  A sign that flashes your car speed will be installed sometime after that on Silver Maple as you turn into the subdivision from Potranco Rd.  Also, American Lotus is being cut through to Grosenbacher which should relieve some of the traffic coming into the subdivision on Yellow Birch.  Any requests for a capital improvement project for sidewalks will need to be sent through the commissioner’s office but would be a lower priority due to other major issues in the county.  Enforcement of speed limits, stop signs, etc must be addressed with the Sheriff’s department.

State Representative Rick Galindo spoke next.  He is currently serving on the committees for Public Education, Mental Health, and  GTO (Government Transparency).  He lives in Amhurst and is aware of the problems out here and we are one of the fastest growing areas in the state.  If you have any concerns, contact his office at 210-922-1336.  He advised us of an upcoming Annexation Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, Jan 28. 2016, 7 PM at Hoffman Elementary Cafeteria.

TXDOT was represented by Christine Longoria and Marco Galindo.  They provided us with handouts on the major highway projects in our area -410/151 Interchange, 410/90 Interchange, and Loop 1604 expansions from Culebra to Hwy 90.

Bridell Miers spoke on Bexar County Capital Projects which includes expansion of Potranco Rd.  Waiting on TXDOT approval of contract, then it goes to Commisioner’s Court and construction to start in March, 2016.

Gabirel Lara, Coolcrest resident, is concerned about the length of time the county takes to get things done and is considering running as an independent for Commissioner Precinct 1.
