Foundation Communities
On thursday Feburary 7th, the board and other property owners gathered to meet with a group from Foundation Communities. Foundation Communities has started the process of developing a low income housing unit adjacent to the southern side of Cherry Creek (see attached Map below). This was a great opportunity for property owners to ask questions of Foundation Communities and for Foundation Communities to hear our concerns. At this moment Foundation communities is still in the planning and funding stage of the project. They could break ground in the next 12-24 months.
We know not all of the neighbors were able to attend the meeting, so we wanted to inform everyone via the website. If you have any questions please comment below and the board can try to answer those questions.
If you would like to learn more about Foundation Communities you are welcome to attend one of there open houses. They have two upcoming open house lunch/tours at our communities. March 5th we will be touring our new M Station Apartments which we built two years ago and are a good comparison for what we hope to build on Slaughter. Details are here: http://www.foundcom.org/get-

~In the back park~
This is your chance to break out of your normal routine and meet those neighbors you’ve been meaning to introduce yourself to. Just bring a chair and a yummy dish or desert. The better we know each other, the better we can look out for each other and discourage crime in our neighborhood.
The Newsletters are no longer available from Peel inc. due to lack of advertising support, so this website will be your neighborhood information site. Go to the site for President’s corner, events, neighborhood news, help articles, deed restrictions, by-laws, classified ads, business directory, yard of the month & landscaping, news that effects the neighborhood, and more.
Upcoming events
Halloween Decorating Contest! Check back here on the website next week for more information about dates and procedures for voting.
What can we do to make this site better for you?
New Website
Welcome to the new and improved Cherry Creek on Brodie website. Since the peel newsletter is no longer being published for us, we thought it was time to take control of our community news. This is still very much a work in progress, but we have a lot of cool things planned. This is a 100% volunteer effort and anyone who has something to add is welcome. We also have decided that we should offer free advertising for those businesses owned by our neighbors. So if you would like some advertising let us know.
Road Construction on Deer Lane
This a response sent to a neighbor concerning Deer Lane between Brodie Lane and Coastal Drive from the Street & Bridge Division, Public Works Department.
Street & Bridge has now received approval for major repairs and resurfacing for the section of Deer Lane between Brodie Lane and Coastal Dr. We are evaluating the existing City wide re-paving program, and hope to have the Deer Lane project included in that schedule for completion by late August 2012. As you noted, the existing section of Deer Lane between Coastal Dr and Brodie Ln is in bad shape. This is due in part to deferred maintenance in anticipation of the future extension of Davis Lane that would divert traffic off Deer Lane. For the past three – four years, only minimum spot patching was done on Deer Lane. Unfortunately, the Davis Lane project has been delayed for an indeterminate time. As such, Deer Lane will now have to remain in service much longer than anticipated, and needs major work. After a review of project schedules and repair options, we have approval to proceed with major repairs on Deer Lane. Street & Bridge will be scheduling the repair work on the existing Deer Lane, and for questions about that work, please contact us here at Street & Bridge. The Davis Lane extension project is being managed by Mr. George Jackson, Project Manager at the CIP Project Management Office 974-7197. He remains the main contact for information about that work status and schedule. We appreciate your concern for roadway projects and maintenance in Austin.
