Volleyball and Basketball amenity additions to CHNE community area - Reg

Hello All - Many of you were part of our community social media group on Telegram and you would have seen the community group about the new amenity additions (Sand volleyball and Basketball courts). The requested plan was to have a replica like in CHN. HOA finally started collecting the feedback from all CHNE residents. Hope you would have received the letter from HOA on Friday or Saturday. Pls send your consent on either approval with benefits or deniel with reasons to hoa@castlehills.org . Heard from few residents that they have been receiving the response from HOA. Your feedback is appreciated and the more feedback HOA receives early the better they will be able to take the decision in the right direction. Thanks again for your help and support in making the neighborhood better. Regards Gangadhar Kotu

HOA - Tree Trimming Requests

Hello All - As you would have received the letters from HOA for requesting to have tree trimmings (roadside) at your home, would request everyone to submit the same as many places the branches are hanging n to the sidewalk which is causing the walkers an issue as our residents walk almost till late nights. Couple trees are very low at 4feet high. As this service from HOA is completely free , it is a humble request to submit the form by everyone. Though it is free, HOA needs the signed form then only they will do it.  Should you need a form, pls reach out to Krissy Kelly < Krissy.Kelly@brightrealty.com > I also heard from couple residents that their tree trimming didn't happen even though they submitted the form last year, I would request you to follow up with Krissy. Best Regards Gangadhar Kotu

Mayor Durham statement on amended Denton County disaster declaration

Message from Mayor Durham. As the City of Lewisville takes steps to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community, I want to praise Denton County Judge Andy Eads for amending his countywide disaster declaration.   The new rules under this amended declaration go into effect at noon today. Those new rules call for the closure of all bars, gyms, theaters and amusement venues in Denton County. Also, gatherings of more than 50 people are prohibited; and all restaurants are limited to drive-through, delivery, pick-up, and curbside service only.   I fully support this action and will work with the Lewisville City Council to ensure these new rules are enforced in our city. This was a difficult decision to make, but these are unprecedented times that require unprecedented actions by elected officials in order to keep our residents, families, and friends safe.   I urge all Lewisville residents and businesses to follow social distancing protocols for the safety...

Hide and Seek is over, Time to Action...!! :)

Hello All,   Hide and Seek between the cold and warm is over for the season, and the compromise between the seasons (Winter and Spring) is arrived to bring light and heat almost at the doorsteps. Now that, we are almost into Spring, it is time to dust off and enjoy the weather.   Well, talking about the dust off , we (Board of Directors for both 1F and 1G) have been working on getting more amenities to our CHNE neighborhood. I'm referring to Basketball ( fenced ) and Sand Volleyball courts in the south west of the Pool area where few residents are playing volleyball, the plan is to keep them as much as possible to the south of the pool area. Our current playground has only the amenities for toddlers.   I have been approached by many parents for more amenities in the neighborhood as kids in the neighborhood is growing and moving their feet on the ground. Kids (from ages 3 - 15) are also showing more ...
