Sal-
I am concerned. I heard on news8 that the moratorium on ''big box'' development applies to any projects over 50,000 sq feet, but does not include grocery stores or hospitals.
I saw you were participating on the circlec.cc website on this topic. I hope this confusion
doesn't let the HEB slip through.
I personally would really hate to see a 24hr grocery store go in the tract at slaughter and
escapment. I think it will bring way too much traffic to escarpment, not to mention
semi trailers of groceries, etc.

Linda,
The 45 day moratorium also stops grocery stores over 75,000 sq feet. The current plan for HEB is 95,000 sq ft. A problem though. Stratus submitted its rezoning one day before the moratorium was voted on... to circumvent the issue.
The other major problem: Circle C Land Corp is a subsidiary of Stratus. Bartlett, who is a board member and supposed to represent our interests, to has some financial connection with Circle C Land Corp. It's a conflict of Interest and he's not given the members of Circle C any Full Disclosure on this point or any others. Myself and many neighbors feel a neighborhood meeting is in order. But, the BOD wants to approve this development without any resident meeting.
I know we have 3 HEB's within 5 miles, 2 of them within 3 miles. I don't know if I'm against a HEB. But, I'm offended by the BOD telling the neighborhood that it's good for us, if one or more of them can profit off the decision. Also, if the neighborhood still wants the HEB, how will we know if it will be to scale for our community? Or if it will be done right? Why not a non-24 hour store like Whole Foods?
How can we represented by those who truly don't represent us? How can we trust the Architectural control committee to make sure it's done right?
The current guidelines were looked at recently, by an architect who's familiar with what they usually look like. The Architect basically said the guidelines are a joke. The imagine the guidelines were produced by Hoover, Bartlett and Bradley. The Architectural control committee is chaired by Susan Hoover. The same person Bartlett gave the majority of our 1.3 million dollar contracts to. Do you see how one hand is washing the other with our money?

Also, email the BOD at info@circlecranch.com and demand an information sharing community meeting for HEB.
Thanks for your email,
