October 2012 Newsletter

On September the 25th, 2012 Blanco River Village Homeowners attended a City Planning and Zoning meeting to discuss the addition of a linear park to replace the portion of road that would have been a continuation of Rush Haven. The linear park was proposed to run in between the single family homes that are to be built at the end of Rush Haven.The following picture shows the already approved plan that Bigelow had in place. 

The following image portrays the proposed amendment of the additional of a linear park. 

Most of the residents were in approval of the linear park, however, there were some concerns that parking would become an issue, and for those with children, it was a concern that crossing the road from the current children's park to the green space would be dangerous. Prior to the meeting there were also concerns that the previously approved single family homes were changing to courtyard style homes, but Bigelow confirmed that the amendment would not change the style of homes to be built and they would remain as the previously approved single family style homes. 

The linear park was approved with the stipulation that the builder must add pedestrian crossings from the current park area to the linear park. The hopes are that the linear park will one day lead to the City Park by the River. The green space of the linear park will be open for use by the entire Blanco River Village Community. If you would like to learn more about the addition of the linear park you can view the footage from the planning and zoning meeting below.

Annual HOA Meeting

A quick reminder to all Blanco River Village Home Owners that our annual HOA meeting is scheduled for this Thursday August 23rd, 2012 from 6p.m. to 8p.m. The meeting will be held in the Multi-Purpose Room at The San Marcos Library located at 625 East Hopkins Street, San Marcos, TX 78666.

The recent Meet and Greet gathering with Real Manage took place on August 7th, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. in the new sales office located at 417 Shadowpoint. The purpose of the event was to give home owners the opportunity to meet key staff members and managers with Real Manage. Approximately 20 Home Owners were present at the event. All attendees were encouraged to share concerns and issues experienced in dealings with Real Manage. Overall, the majority appeared pleased with Real Manage and agreed that improvements have been apparent over the past year. A few problems were brought to the attention of Real Manage staff including; difficulty with navigation and bill pay on the Real Manage Portal; delayed response time when attempting to resolve issues or contact Real Manage representatives; the inability to gain access to the budget and other important HOA documentation; and not receiving email updates or mail from Real Manage. These concerns were discussed at length and Real Manage appeared eager to work with the community and resolve these matters.

These issues will be discussed in further detail at the annual meeting on Thursday. Please be sure to arrive early if you are interested in signing up for a slot to speak. Due to time constraints, each resident that signs up  will be allocated three minutes of speaking time. We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday!
