Attendees: Frank Richter, Janine and Jim Koch, Maria
Martinez, Bill Fagelson, Sherri Ancipink, John Donisi, Brian

City Staff: Adam Smith
- Alpine Rd. – currently dead-ends at Willow
Springs Rd. Is there a possibility that Alpine could be
extended through to Ben White/I-35? Has the right-of-way
been vacated? Who is responsible for enforcing? There
appeared to be consensus that the neighbors do not want
Alpine going through. Explore possibility of trail.
Homeless camp. Illegal dumping. Broken drainage pipes.
- Walmart – Site plan approved.
- Payload Pass – will not be extended through
to Alpine. SRCC negotiated an agreement with the property
owner providing for additional water quality.
- AISD property – one of the larger sites in
Area 8. Concern that the site could be redeveloped and
lead to extension of Alpine. One resident described
property as the "lynchpin" for that area.
- TxDOT lights at Ben White and IH-35 – too
tall, too bright, too many. Why are they needed?
- Penn Field – overall, seen as attribute to
area, but still some question whether incorporating
residential into project would not also be desirable.
- Cut-thru traffic on Woodward – Ben White/I-35
construction causing increase in cut-thru traffic
- Woodward – speeding, limited visibility (in
particular, entering/exiting Blunn Creek Apartments), cut-thru
traffic, no pedestrian crossings. What is possibility of
installing 3-way stop at Woodward and Willow Springs
Road? Flashing pedestrian crossings?
- Status of W/WW line near Ben White and Warehouse Row
- Warehouse Road – concern about it being
extended through to Alpine
- Volleyball Court – finished product doesn’t
meet what was agreed upon with neighbors. Building to
close to street; supposed to be setback further.
- Blunn Creek Apartments – bioretention ponds
- Home Depot site – clarify what private
restrictive covenant says about keeping the conservation
easement clean and cleared.
- Lindy’s Landing – supposedly Charles
Lindbergh landed in area where Lindy Landing Apartments
and Penn Field are now.
