Review Proposed Deed Restrictions

As discussed in our Annual Members Meeting on October 26th, we are asking neighbors to review the proposed deed restrictions that would be an update to our 40+ year old current restrictions. In 2021, our deed restrictions committee has worked to combine all 4 sections into one consistent document with the feedback from more than 20 neighbors thus far.

In order to update our current restrictions, it will take at least 51% of each section voting to approve. Thus, we need your help!

Please review. Let us know what works, what does NOT work, and any concerns you may have. We need to hear from you! We need to know if you would vote for these, or if there are reasons you would vote no. If we do not know what the membership is thinking, then we cannot address. Please take the time to review and provide feedback so that the best set of proposed deed restrictions can be submitted for membership to vote on at a later date.

Submit comments to committees@tonkawasprings.org The Deed Restriction Committee will review each and every comment so that proposed document can be finalized.

Deadline for comments is Friday, November 17th.

Community Feedback 2021

Hello Neighbors! The TSHOA Board would like to hear from you. As we continue to address the needs of our community it is great to get feedback on items that are important to our members. The feedback can help drive decisions for the future. The questions on this survey are based on member feedback over the past few years, the need for volunteers, and the additional work required from our volunteers due to Texas Property Code laws regarding HOAs. Thank You for your time and feedback!

Attention: Review Wyoming Springs Extension Project

The City of Round Rock hosted another Open House on June 22nd to share updated schematic plans for the planned extension for Wyoming Springs Dr from Creek Bend Blvd to Sam Bass Rd. This project will extend Wyoming Springs Dr and impact many of our neighbors.

Please review all of the maps and information provided in the link below. City of Round Rock needs to hear from all surrounding areas that will be affected. Please provide comments and feedback prior to July 13th to the Project Manager, Dawn Scheel, at # 512-218-6603 or via email dscheel@roundrocktexas.gov Please feel free to share this information with other surrounding areas that may be impacted.

Some of the feedback and concerns to consider given the proximity to many of our Tonkawa Springs’ homes are requiring a lower speed limit, limited access points, protecting the water quality as well as the long term impact of a road on top of a sensitive water feature on the Edwards Aquifer.

For more information please visit the project website at: https://www.roundrocktexas.gov/transportprojects/wyoming-springs-segment-1-fm-3406-old-settlers-blvd-to-brightwater-blvd-creekbend-blvd/

Additional Information for Consideration:

Sound Abatement, Continuous fence to prevent people on the walkway from entering the adjoining backyards – There is currently NO plan for a sound abatement fence for the adjoining properties from Tonkawa Springs. The residents in Saul’s Ranch and Fern Buff are included in the plan for sound abatement. At current time, City of RR states too many trees would need to be taken down. Tree preservation is a must but it is concerning that City of RR has offered no alternative plans if sound is an issue as well as private property being entered as a result of no fencing from project.

Water quality safety – Has City of RR looked into expanding the bridge over the Dry Fork? It would lessen drilling into the recharge feature where a large portion of the water from Krienke Springs already flows via the cracks in the rock bed beneath the water into the Edwards Aquifer.  If there is contamination from the roadway run off then there is a strong probability that the people with private wells and including the Round Rock well will become contaminated. What assurances has City of Round Rock provided for water quality and in how the bridge will be constructed?

Speed Limit on New Extension – The City of Round Rock mentioned 45mph for this extension. Both Fern Bluff and Behrens Ranch residents are requesting a much lower speed limit due to the 80 foot bridge span and the significant 3.85% slope grade. Many residents feel with a bridge and slope of that nature this area should account for the street traffic light, residential areas, and offer a much lower speed limit.

Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Information

Did you know about the Architectural Control Committee (ACC)?

The TSHOA bylaws require the appointment of an Architectural Control Committee (ACC).  The committee is charged with protecting the deed covenants and overseeing and promoting adherence to our deed restrictions.  As per our bylaws, ACC is also responsible for the review of proposed construction or placement activities for deed restriction compliance. 

ACC members interpret the deed restrictions, offer input to residents regarding the covenants, and provide recommendations to board for enforcement. They work for you to protect all Tonkawa Springs homeowners’ property values.  In the event you have a new project or wish to file a complaint about a perceived violation in the neighborhood, you will need to submit a request via acc@tonkawasprings.org   Please understand that any calls you may receive concerning deed violations are from your neighbors and ACC is charged with reviewing.

Several neighbors have recently asked how to submit perceived violations anonymously.  As we understand the conflict that this may create with reporting your neighbor, we wanted to make you aware of our web form https://tonkawasprings.org/acc/ On the ACC Tab, if you leave name and email address fields EMPTY, this will allow the complaint to be submitted anonymously.  You will not receive an update, but it will allow ACC to review the concern submitted in the question/concern box.

As always, please do not hesitate to send any questions or concerns regarding our community to board@tonkawasprings.org.  As we are a 100% volunteer board as well as all neighbors in this community, we hope to work with all of you to continue to keep Tonkawa Springs the beautiful community that it is.
