We would like to congratulate our newly elected board members Bill Hinchcliffe (Treasurer) and Scott (David) Nevil (Secretary). As a community, we appreciate your service to help make our community better and bringing everyone closer.

Continuing with our improvement initiative, the HOA has installed three sets of solar lights over the existing three sections of mailboxes. Having a safe environment that is well-lit is our top priority for our members.

The HOA has been making improvements for the subdivision in phases. In the next phase, the HOA will be addressing the pond. This will require clean up and removing trees that our adopted beaver has managed to take down. In the process of removing those trees and trash, we will be looking to have a wildlife rescue organization to help safely remove the beaver (or unidentified wildlife friend) and relocate it to a proper environment. Once this is completed, we will then treat the water. This area will be part of our lawn care contract to maintain any weeds along the perimeter of the pond to maintain a clean visual and inviting appearance for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for more changes to come.

We have some exciting new additions to the community to share with all of you. By the mailboxes on Indian Paintbrush Drive, there is a new Food Pantry and a Lending Library. Please feel free to take some food if you are in need and/or give some food if you can help others. If you have books or movies you would like to donate, please feel free to place them in the Lending Library for others to enjoy. We have a lot of kids in the community, of all ages, at home and bored and would appreciate them. Sometimes escaping into a good book to get away from the stresses of a day can provide the ultimate relaxation.

We have also installed two Disc Golf/Frisbee nets behind Dandelion Loop where the retention pond is located. In that same area, we have also installed two park benches, a trash can to throw any garbage/waste in, and a dog waste station. If you’re out walking your dog, please be courteous and pick up after your dog with the bags supplied. We are planning to have the pond cleaned up. Our lawn company has met with our Board of Directors and has a plan in place of what is going to be done to bring the pond up to standards. Imagine sitting on the park bench, drinking coffee and watching your dog or kids playing. This area is the site we will be using to build a playground and possibly more over time. There are other plans we are working towards in the future to bring more to the community, but we will be doing it in steps. The Board of Directors and HOA are working towards bringing amenities to our community the way Indian Paintbrush was meant to be when it was first built.

We hope you enjoy all of these new items and find value in their addition to Indian Paintbrush.

Please welcome Robyn Pollack as the newest member joining the Board of Directors.

We wish to express our condolences to the family and friends of Dan Stim, who passed away on October 11, 2019. Dan served on the Board of Directors for the Indian Paintbrush HOA for many years.

Ceremony to be held Friday, November 1st at 11:15am at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Pavilion #2.

Beginning Feb. 25, Cash Construction will be closing Lehman Rd. to traffic from FM 150 to Masonwood Dr. The overall Lehman Rd. reconstruction project is estimated to be 20-24 months; the portion from FM 150 to Masonwood will be several months. However, inclement weather and other issues can affect the estimated schedule.

As the work progresses north, different segments of Lehman Rd. will be closed to thru traffic. Signage will be posted in advance. We will update this webpage, and also use social media and our weekly e-News to keep residents up to date on changes and closures.

During this project, the contractor will:

• Bore under FM 150 to install a 30-inch waste water line and a reclaim line that will service our growing community
• Make drainage improvements along the road up to Masonwood
• Completely reconstruct Lehman Road, adding turn lanes and a sidewalk

In terms of drainage improvements, the contractor will raise the profile and install a larger drainage structure at the south low-water crossing (closest to FM 150). This will reduce the number of times the road will need to be closed due to large rain events.

Detours from westbound FM 150 will be:

1. Take I-35 access road to Philomena (formerly Goforth) to Masonwood, turn left onto Lehman Rd.
2. Take I-35 access road to Bunton Creek Rd. and turn right onto Lehman Rd.

Detours from eastbound FM 150 will be:

1. Cross the Center St. bridge over I-35. Turn left onto the I-35 access road, turn right onto Philomena (formerly Goforth), right on Masonwood, then left on Lehman Rd.
2. Cross the Center St. bridge over I-35. Turn left onto the I-35 access road, turn right on Bunton Creek Rd. then turn right onto Lehman Rd.

NOTE: The Plum Creek Conservation has a legal interest at the southern low water crossing that requires the City to remove soil out of Lake Kyle to compensate for the soil that will be placed along Lehman Rd. to elevate the road profile. The contractor will need to access the Lake Kyle through the Four Seasons neighborhood to remove the required soil. We are making plans with Cash Construction to minimize the inconvenience to the residents of that community.

*** Beginning March 25, Lake Kyle will be closed to the public. PARD offices will be temporarily relocated across from Old City Hall/Krug Activity Center on Burleson St.***
