Braeswood:
Knollwood Village Celebrated 60 Years in the Braeswood Community

knollwood village Knollwood Village celebrated its 60th birthday on June 15, 2013 at Linkwood Park. The event was hosted by the Knollwood Village Civic Club. The turnout was outstanding and the acknowledgements were well-deserving. The celebratory event emphasized the essence of Knollwood Village -- truly a great place of community and a place of belonging.

 

The event consisted of potluck dessert among the neighbors and additional food provided by the civic club (courtesy of the area's Mike's Jersey Sub and James Coney Island). In addition, there were giveaways, activities coordinated by the local YMCA for kids, including arts and crafts and physical activities, and free face painting, balloon art and a few other surprises for the kids.


The Knollwood Village Civic Club was presented with a Certificate of Recognition from Council Member Green acknowledging the organization's 60th anniversary as well as a mayoral proclamation proclaiming June 15 as Knollwood Village Community Day presented by Mayor Parker herself. The event also acknowledged other elected officials that represent the Knollwood Village community.
 

 

Congratulations Knollwood Village with celebrating 60 years in the South Braeswood community!   

Get Involve  with the "Friends of Linkwood Park"

Linkwood Park is nestled within the heart of the South Braeswood community. The Friends of Linkwood Park, formerly the Linkwood PAC, are asking for representatives from the various surrounding civic associations to be a part of their community collaborative.

 

The Friends of Linkwood Park have scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, June 18 at 6:00 p.m. at Linkwood Park Community Center. Come hear the attendees and voice your opinion as to how to make Linkwood Park a more vibrant neighborhood park for the South Braeswood community. 

Reliant Park Update-- Noise

reliant stadium 2 During the month of April, Reliant Park held two outside concerts in the yellow parking lot of the Reliant Park complex.  After hearing a number of residential complaints from the communities west of South Main (i.e. Knollwood Village, Westridge, etc.), members of the Knollwood Village Civic Club board and the Braeswood Super Neighborhood Council (SNC) conducted a meeting with personnel from the Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation (HCSCC), the management company for Reliant Park (SMG) along with representatives from District K and City Council At-Large Position #1 as well as HPD Sgt. Tim Sutton. The meeting addressed the disruption these events caused the surrounding neighborhoods and focused on to collaborate on some possible solutions.

 

From these discussions, it was learned that HCSCC puts on events such as these to help cover annual operational expenses on the Reliant Park campus.  Without these events, the burden would fall on taxpayers.   

 

Taking those factors into consideration, HCSCC and SMG are not yet willing to prohibit the use of the yellow lot for outdoor music related events. However, they conceded on three crucial areas:

  • To ensure all outdoor event speakers would face away from the neighborhoods west of South Main St. (more to the south/southeast)
  • Implementation of a 9:00 p.m. curfew of music for all outdoor events that occur on the west side of Kirby Dr.
  • Carefully orient any stage productions in the yellow lot to minimize sound projection into the adjacent neighborhoods.

 HCSCC cited that as a result of the curfew, larger music events would not be interested in using the yellow lot. They admitted that this decision could result in lost business but these are concessions they are willing to implement as it's important for them to be good neighbors.  Both HCSCC and SMG management also offered an open line of communication should these concessions not improve the noise issues.

 

As it relates to future events, unhappy residents should either "Like" them on Facebook by searching for "Reliant Park" and provide comments or call Reliant's Switchboard at 832-667-1400 when they are bothered by noise during events.  Let your civic club board know, if you feel inclined to post comments or call during future events with an email to contact@knollwoodvillagecc.org. The Knollwood Village Civic Club board along with the Braeswood SNC will continue to monitor the situation.

Out and About District K: 

 

Expanding Single Stream Recycling Program for 

District K Neighborhoods

Council Member Green is pleased to announced that the City of Houston Solid Waste Management Department has slated 35,000 additional households citywide to its single-stream automated curbside recycling program.  As part of this curbside expansion, residents within these selected neighborhoods will receive one 96-gallon green automated cart. This will be similar to the black automated garbage cart.

 

"Since coming into office last year, I have strongly advocated for single-stream recycling for all neighborhoods within District K. At least this is a first step toward some of the District K neighborhoods," states Council Member Green. "I will continue to advocate for expanded recycling services for all neighborhoods within District K." 

 

Subdivisions included in the July 2013 expansion curbside Automated Recycling Program are: 

  • Almeda Plaza
  • Glen Iris
  • Glenshire
  • Hiram Clarke (Brentwood and Pamela Heights)
  • Westbury West

This will be the first of two curbside recycling expansions this calendar year.  An additional expansion to 70,000 households is planned in the Fall. "Since first implementing the initiative in 2009, residents have overwhelmingly been asking to be included in this program.  It's convenient because participants can place their unsorted recyclables, including glass, in one city-provided container with wheels that makes it easy to roll to the curb," said Harry Hayes, Solid Waste Management Department Director. 

 

 Recyclable items that can be placed in the containers include: newspapers, magazines, office paper, junk mail, cardboard, paperboard, paper bags, glass bottles and jars, aluminum cans, tin and steel cans and plastics 1 - 5 and 7. The Solid Waste Management Department provides solid waste services to the residents of Houston through the collection, disposal and recycling of discarded material in a manner that is safe, efficient, environmentally sound and cost-effective.

District K Neighborhood 101 Symposium: Chapter 42 

 Chapter 42 meetings

Council Member Green facilitated two (2) District-wide community meetings in conjunction with the City of Houston Planning and Development Department to inform civic leaders about the tools available to help protect their residential character as part of the adoption of Chapter 42, the City's Land Development ordinance.

 

The revised Chapter 42 amendments applies to any neighborhood within the city boundaries, as long as the deed restrictions do not call for a minimum lot size or building line and address the Special Minimum Lot size designation for a larger neighborhood, as opposed to the previous limit of 2 blocks.

 

The District K council office has compiled 95% of all deed restrictions within the District. The council staff is reviewing the documents for language pertaining to minimum lot size and building line. The District K office will personally contact the civic association to notify them if the language within their deed restrictions is sufficient or if they should make an appointment with the Planning Dept. to pursue the  Special Minimum Lot Size//Building Line application.

 

All of the applications and information about this Special Minimum Lot Size/Building Line application, can also be found online  here. The Planning and Development Department is still holding community meetings across the City during the month of June.
