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.

Regards your Parkwest Neighbor,
Linda B.

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?

Please look over the information in this PDF and get your friends to sign the online petition (below).

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

Thanks for your email,
Sal

Denise and the Board,

All Board meetings should be held at a standing date and time; published well in advance for any CCHOA member to attend. Board meetings should not randomly change at the whim of the Board members with absolutely no advance notice to the CCHOA members. This is inappropriate, unethical, and not in accordance with our governing documents.

Further, all Board meetings should be rescheduled to evening meetings with well-publicized and posted at all post office bulletin boards, on CCHOA website, and in the monthly newletter. TIME, DATE, LOCATION should be posted without deviations and last-minute changes. Evening meetings should be planned to permit ease in CCHOA member attendance.

The Board and it's activities are not your personal meetings. These are meetings of the CCHOA membership who elect the Board to do interim business only. Read the Bylaws. Implement the proposed revised Bylaws and Code of Ethics.
