Lee’s Crossing
Monthly
Newsletter September 2008
From the President:
Dear Neighbors,
There is another proposal regarding Whitlock that the
Board believes deserves the attention of our residents. This involves
widening Whitlock to four lanes from the high school to the intersection of
Kirkpatrick. It is not apparent that this by itself will provide traffic
relief. Our councilman, Griff Chalfant, thinks this is another step towards the
widening of Whitlock to the loop or a tie in to a connector through
David Waldrep hit the ground running in August as our new property manager regarding the enforcement of architectural controls and community guidelines, and it is already beginning to show in the positive appearance of the neighborhood. We all need to be mindful that the substantial amount of rain received in the last week will result in the need for more frequent mowing, edging, pruning and the cleaning of mildew from mailbox posts. Thanks for your cooperation.
The Leisure Ladies group had their annual ice cream social last week. I understand they served nearly 70 members and guests with homemade ice cream and other deserts. It was really a treat (no pun intended).
I hope you have noticed the recent freshening of the front entrance. Genesis provided a substantial cutback of the bushes surrounding the fencing and columns and Ocampo Painting pressure washed and painted the fence. The City is going to pave Lee’s Trace soon and we are going to replace the broken up, decorative concrete with a twelve foot deep crossing of red pavers. We will try to alert you to the schedule regarding paving in advance.
Another pool season is about to end and our neighborhood guards have returned to school (some to college and some to high school). We have been forced to use out of neighborhood guards during the last few weeks and schedules have sometimes fallen by the wayside. We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope you have enjoyed the facilities nonetheless.
Sincerely,
Walt Walker

New Neighborhood Directories
The Homes Association will be producing a new neighborhood directory this fall, which will be distributed to everyone in mid-October. By now you should have received an "information sheet" in your mailbox which shows what information we have for your home. The sheet has instructions on how to report any changes you might have. There are several ways, but the easiest is to send an email to leescrossing@comcast.net. Use that address to let us know if you didn't get your sheet as well. Please have all changes reported by October 1st. Thank you.
