Social Committee Update:

Despite the rain, we held our community-wide garage sale on May 20th. Thank you to all who participated.

Thank you to all who attended our annual fireworks show at the clubhouse. We had a very successful turnout.

Drainage Committee Update:

Our VPI contractor, PipeCheck, finished their inspection. They introduced themselves to each homeowner whose property was involved in the work. In every instance the homeowners were glad to see them and appreciated what they were doing on behalf of our HOA. Many homeowners confirmed that the inlets/pipes were not functioning properly and were causing problems for them. PipeCheck will now prepare a detailed written report on each run of pipe inspected and provide a formatted DVD of the video taken.

With the work we have done over the last couple of years, we had determined the majority run of pipes to put into this project that had become degraded or even incapacitated for one reason or another, and also those pipes that poses the greatest risk if failure were to occur. The PipeCheck report will reflect this and provide the undisputed evidence needed to determine the best path forward for each pipe. A majority of pipes were so bad that PipeCheck could not run their robotic video camera through the entire pipe. However, they were able to document sufficiently the pipe condition and will allow us to determine next steps.

The Temple Hills development was one of the earliest platted developments in Williamson County outside any municipal boundaries. It's age, coupled with the grossly inadequate codes it was developed under and around a golf course, has led us to where a significant amount of repairs are needed to be done by our HOA and the county. This cannot be ignored any longer. We need to receive the attention from the county to recognize this and for the county to devote the resources to an overall effort in conjunction with what our HOA does. Once we have a final report of recommendations, we will recommend establishing a formal meeting with county representatives.

SNEED ROAD AND FRONT ENTRANCES

The major redesign of our entrance intersection is still 3 to 6 years off, according to David Horwath of Land Innovations (project manager for Stephens Valley). The County requires Stephens Valley to complete substantial improvements to the intersection of Temple and Sneed Rd. prior to the County approving the plotting of 350 or more lots for Stephens Valley. Stephens Valley had recorded 136 lots by March, 2019, and has moved a bit more slowly than the pace of 50 to 60 lots per year as originally projected.

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT WORK

The Drainage Committee meets monthly to manage current and new drainage projects.

This work was selected through an annual assessment program by our civil engineer as being the highest priority areas in need of corrective action and able to be accomplished with the allocated funds.

Work was completed in October on the last remaining locations identified for the regular maintenance program. This will allow for a period to focus on a handful of projects to improve the community drainage infrastructure and to begin implementation of a long-range plan for the major repairs becoming necessary with deteriorating major drainage structures under HOA responsibility.

With development of the Temple Hills community being started in the mid-1970’s, we have drainage structures approaching 50-years in age and end-of-life. To support this long range repair plan for these structures, our HOA has established an annual special reserve fund that will go toward the coming major construction effort.

Along with these above stated committee efforts, we continue to assist homeowners and other HOA committees with drainage issues that frequently occur. We will also of course strive to monitor our drainage infrastructure and deal with the regular drainage maintenance needs as they arise.

Stormwater runoff problems are an ongoing concern at Temple Hills, and your Drainage Committee is working hard to maintain and improve the existing infrastructure. Please report any problems or questions to Steve Westerman, Drainage Committee chair, steven.westerman@att.net.

BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR...AVOID THESE COMMON COMPLAINTS

1. Trash barrels must be kept concealed from view except on trash day. If you have a steep or long driveway, you might consider a trash service that will drive up to your house. Hughes Disposal will do this, (615) 210-0204.

2. On-Street Parking is an ongoing issue in Temple Hills. Parking in the grass or partially in the yard is also prohibited, and is an eyesore. Consider cleaning out garages or constructing an overflow parking pad to the side or rear of the home if space permits. ARC approval is required for parking pads!
