Bethany Lakes Park Preliminary Samples Indicate No Public Health Risk

Posted by rbutler on Friday, December 8 @ 7:59pm

Southwest Geoscience has completed the preliminary sampling of the northeast corner of Bethany Lakes Park as a result of lead shotgun pellets surfacing in this area. The preliminary sampling indicates that lead concentrations of the tested soil and water are well below the human health exposure standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Southwest Geoscience will complete extensive sampling of this area late next week. It will remain closed to the public during this time and as needed for clean up efforts.

The pellets surfaced in this area due to the location of a firing range on the property prior to being purchased by the City over 10 years ago. The original property owners, Dallas Texas Rod and Gun Club, were required to perform site remediation for lead in order to comply with standards and other federal guidelines at the time prior to the City’s purchase.

The public should stay out of the closed area and observe other posted rules such as catch and release when fishing and no swimming or wading in the ponds. The trail through Bethany Lakes Park will remain open; however, holes #2 and #3 of the disc golf course are not accessible for play.

Area of Bethany Lakes Park Closed For Environmental Testing

Posted by rbutler on Thursday, November 9 @ 7:21pm

Approximately a one acre area in the northeast corner of Bethany Lakes Park will be closed to the public. The closing is a result of lead shotgun pellets surfacing in this area due to the location of a firing range on the property prior to being purchased by the City over 10 years ago.

The original property owners, Dallas Texas Rod and Gun Club, were required to perform site remediation for lead in order to comply with standards and other federal guidelines at the time prior to the City's purchase.

The public should stay out of the closed area and observe other posted rules at this time such as catch and release when fishing and no swimming or wading in the ponds. The trail through Bethany Lakes Park will remain open.

Testing of the area, including pond and related environmental samples, is being performed by Southwest Geoscience. Findings and recommendations are pending at this time.

Brick Wall Vandalism

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, September 20 @ 9:31pm

For the last three days in a row, we have had reports of damage to the brick neighborhood border fence along Shelley. Given the volume of damage created, and that the sheer weight of some of the sections are far greater than the mild winds over the last few days, we can only assume that someone deliberately vandalising the fence.

Please be on the lookout for any suspicious activity, including people (our groups of people) walking down the alley or the sidewalk along Shelley. Please contact the Allen Police Non-Emergency number at (214) 509-4321, and the HOA directly at (972) 739-5221 if you notice anything out of the ordinary. We do not have a specific time frame when the damage is occuring each day.

We just recently completed a third round of repairs to the fence in the last few weeks, and it will be another several hundred dollars to repair this most recent damage.

• Dress in long sleeves and long pants when you are outside.
• Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, times when infected mosquitoes are most active.
• Drain standing water in your backyard and neighborhood; old tires, flowerpots and clogged rain gutters are mosquito-breeding sites.

Fake Violation Letters

Posted by rbutler on Monday, August 14 @ 11:43am

So that everyone is aware, it appears as though someone is sending out fake violation letters to homeowners in the neighborhood, purporting to be from the HOA. The letter uses a copy of one of the images from the HOA website, and appears to be printed on an inkjet printer.

All valid deed restriction violations are handled by the HOA management company, NMI, and will have their letterhead and contact information.

If you have received one of these letters (which would appear similar to the image on the left), please contact us at officers@maxwellcreek.org, and if possible send us a copy of the letter.

HOA Watering Along Malone

Posted by rbutler on Tuesday, June 13 @ 9:25am

We've received a few questions via email concerning the HOA sprinkler system and the current Stage-3 water restriction in place by the City.

The HOA has received a variance from the City to allow us to water the common area along Malone due to the recent construction that damaged the sod. This variance is through the middle of July, and is specifically to allow the damaged sod to regrow. This variance does not apply to the sprinkler systems along Bethany or Shelley.

The HOA is having soaker hoses installed along the center median along Maxwell Creek Dr. to assist these new plants to survive. The soaker hoses are allowed under the Stage-3 water restriction.

Construction Along Malone

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, May 31 @ 6:12pm

We've received a few queries about the work being done along Malone, as well as the flags extending through several homeowner's yards and wanted to report back on the information we found.

The work being performed is on behalf of Comcast; additional fiber optic lines are being run down Malone to feed the new neighborhood being built south of Shelley. This work has been subcontracted to Gardner Telecommunications, INC. Comcast is also working with the Engineering department with the city of Allen; the contact person with the City is Janet Moeri.

As part of this work, the contractor is pulling up sod relaying it after the fiber has been placed. We have been assured that this work is / will be done as non-destructively as possible. Because of the new water restrictions coming into force on June 1st, we raised a concern with the City that the sod would not be able to recover; the City is considering a temporary variance on the restriction.

Stage 3 Drought Contingency Alert

Posted by rbutler on Friday, May 19 @ 8:54pm

Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan will be initiated on June 1, 2006, as a result of the City of Allen's notification from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD), our water supplier. Stage 3 includes mandatory water use restrictions.

In accordance with City Ordinance No. 2520-5-06, a warning or citation can be issued for water use violations. Please note that a warning carries no penalties; however, warnings may be followed by citations if further violations occur. Citations may carry fines up to $2,000.

Residential and commercial water customers will need to follow the restrictions in Stage 3 of the City’s Drought Contingency Plan. The water use restrictions include:

• Limit landscape irrigation to once every seven days on the same day as residential trash pick up. (Thursday for our neighborhood)
• Do not water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
• Do not drain or fill existing pools except to replace normal water loss.
• No hosing of paved areas, buildings, or windows.
• No wasteful water runoff.
• No vehicle washing or rinsing by hose.

In accordance with City Resolution Nos. 2500-3-06 and 2520-5-06, residential accounts will incur a 25% rate surcharge for water usage over 10,000 gallons per month. Since the mandatory water use restrictions will go into effect on June 1, 2006, the new rate surcharges will be reflected on the utility bills sent out in July 2006 and will continue as long as Stage 3 of the Drought Contingency Plan is in effect.

We covered the possibility of hiring a management company in the last newsletter, and discussed the options available at the last open-forum meeting in October. Once the decision to go with a management company was made, we contacted seven companies and requested bids.

In the end, NMI was elected as best meeting the long-term needs of the Association. Their combination of cost, flexibility, specialized management experience, and location (NMI is based in Allen) made their selection inevitable.

Resident Participation Encouraged for Planning City's Future Growth Projects

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, January 18 @ 12:21pm

Allen residents are encouraged to participate in a planning process to determine the future capital improvement projects for the City of Allen as part of the 2006-2012 Bond Program.

Participation in this process will result in a recommendation for a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to the Allen City Council. With support provided by City staff, interested residents will serve on sub-committees to identify and prioritize needs as related to Parks/Recreation, Streets/Drainage, Water/Sewer, Public Safety, and other City facility needs for the next five years.

The Allen City Council will appoint sub-committee chairs in March. Sub-committee meetings will be conducted on rotating Thursday evenings, beginning in April and ending in May. Funding for projects approved in the bond election will be initiated with the sale of the first series of bonds in June 2007.

The last comprehensive general obligation bond election for the City of Allen was in June 1999. Most the projects funded in that bond election have been completed.

Residents interested in participating on a CIP bond sub-committee can contact the City Secretary's office at 214-509-4107 for more information.
