Please remember, “If you SEE Something SAY Something;” (http://www.dhs.gov/if-you-see-something-say-something-campaign)... Whether you are at work or going about your normal day-to-day activities, you should report unidentified or unattended items (computer bags, lunch boxes, packages with no return address, etc.). Each individual must remain vigilant and report suspicious activity. Every day, members of the public work with law enforcement officers to help keep our facilities and communities safe by reporting activities that are out of the ordinary and suspicious. An aware and engaged workforce that understands what constitutes unusual and suspicious behavior is essential to protecting our facilities from threats. You can review a poster on what constitutes suspicious behavior, by clicking here... River Park Closure StatusRiver Park StatusConcerned residents brought to the attention of the Board of Directors that the river park road is greatly erroded underneath the paving, at some points. Due to the obvious safety concerns, we were forced to close the road temporarily while an engineering team evaluated the damage and advised us regarding the severity. We are pleased to announce that the engineering team and lawyer have both approved the reopening of the road, while we get the repairs set up. There are some signs warning people of the danger and advising them to use at their own risk, but we have also placed cones at the problem areas. We will let you know as soon as we have more information about when repairs can begin. Until then please act with caution. If we all are careful and courteous to other drivers, there should be absolutely no problem with residential traffic, but it is still prohibited to bring any heavy equipment or commercial trucks down the lane. Thanks This impacts the rights of enjoyment and property value of every resident, and we are expediting the matter as quickly as possible. Please be patient as the necessary steps are taken to protect the residents from harm and to correct the issue - returning the amenity to full use. Monitor this page for the latest status updates, or you can contact Kem Morales at AMS as well. Maintenance Fee ProposalURGENT!!!

Why do I need to submit my floorplan to the ACC?In June’s Town Hall meeting, the question was raised as to why it was necessary to provide the floorplan as part of the plans and specifications provided for review and approval by the Architectural Control Committee. The action item was taken to submit the query to ACC for their response which follows: “Our review requires that we evaluate characteristics in addition to "exterior appearance". Section 4.01 (a) provides "… until the obtaining of the necessary approval (as herein provided) from the Committee of the construction plans and specification for the construction …". The floor plan is an integral part of the specification, and strictly from the requirement to comply with the covenants and restrictions, needs to be included. Often, the floor plan is necessary in order to correctly interpret the other views of the structure. It shows the location of stone facings and the presence of walls that may be obscured in other views. For example, it is often difficult, or impossible, to distinguish between a porch and a room strictly from the elevation drawing. The floor plan is necessary in order to evaluate certain requirements such as the "living area" and the size and location of the garage as specified in Section 3.01. It is also the only drawing that gives the dimensions of walls and openings. These dimensions are necessary in order to properly calculate the masonry coverage as required to evaluate the requirements of Section 3.11 The submitted plans are not available for general view. Once they are processed, they are kept in locked storage whose access is strictly limited. Only when an issue is raised that requires specific reference to the plans, are they retrieved, consulted, and returned to storage.”** Snake Warning **Please be aware we have many varieties of venomous hill country snakes. Please check with your doctor about proper treatment of snake bites. Some advice for first aid can be found at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000031.htm.
