Greater Oak Hills Civic Association                 

Shared letter from Ellen Elias, President Greater Oak Hills Civic Assn.:
     Buddy Lang, President of Highland Road Alliance group, wants to preserve the beauty & historical landscape of Highland Rd.  Since May 17 flooding that affected so many residents along Highland Road, the Alliance has reached out to all subdivisions about the issue for the 240 unit apartment complex at Highland and Bluebonnet: (@Highland Zoning Change Request is trying to change the zoning in order to build this new complex.
     It is critical that each and every voting member of each and every household as in our GOHCA fill out this form objecting to the Zoning Change.  The numbers for and against are counted and the tally is read into the record of the Council Meeting.  The Planning Commission received 216 objections through this process prior to their previous meeting. Unfortunately, the vote was 5 to 4 in favor of the Zoning Change request.  But you can see that 216 objections made an impact.  It will be important to increase this number of objections substantially prior to the July 21st Council meeting.
