Homeowners:
We recently contacted the City of Plano requesting maintenance repairs to the split rail fence along High Plains Dr. and Preston Ridge Trail in our neighborhood. The City of Plano informed us that due to cost issues they plan on removing the fence all together. They say it is too costly to maintain.
We would like to get your feedback on this issue and any feelings you might have regarding the City's removal of the fence. The main issues you might keep in mind would be:
- The fence was originally installed to discourage vehicle traffic across Preston Ridge Trail when our subdivision was still developing. This most likely would not be an issue any more.
- We want the neighborhood to maintain a nice look and feel.
- We want to maintain or increase property value.
We would also like to get your feedback on these possible ways of dealing with the issue:
1. Do nothing and just let the fence be removed.
2. Keep the fence but have the FMHOA maintain its upkeep. This of course would require an increase in HOA dues.
3. Replace the fence with trees and an irrigation system. This would also require an increase in HOA dues or a special assessment. We would also need to speak with the City regarding tapping into a water source. We would need to delay the planting of the trees until the City has lifted the water restrictions.
If you have any alternative ideas we would appreciate hearing from you.
Please send any ideas/feedback to fairfaxmeadowshoa@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you and will keep you posted on this developing issue here on the FMHOA website!
Thank you!
