ANGELITA PARK

I think I spelled that right - we took the dog up there this morning to check out how it's coming along. From the circle on S.O. blvd., take Paraiso, then left on Musket Rim then right, then right. Already kids were playing on it. And not unlike the time the kid enjoys the box more than the present, one little boy was greatly enjoying a dump load of gravel.

Clearly it isn't anywhere near finished, but quite a lot of work has been done: a concrete bike/walk patch goes around the outside of a large sodded area. There's a crushed granite pathway through a maze, outlined with very small rocks... some new obvious planted areas which haven't yet been planted... but the kids were already having fun.

I had hoped to have the plans up on a new website for you but that all is lost in the rare atmosphere of The Board as they consider whatever it is they consider.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An interesting test case of the board's teeth will soon be shown as a home builder is clearly violating the spirit and letter of the design guidelines (according to me, in my opinion, etc.) If you walk the area and know the guidelines you'll see what I mean.

We understand that the "Chalet" off Musket Rim - which is the huge home under finishing construction - also has a barn, water tower and guest house - will have horses and lama. They are clearing the bottom of their property of cedar and appear to have a service road back there. This is a piece of land landlocked by Spanish Oaks, but ISN'T Spanish Oaks, so they can do what they please. This property has great views as they sit high on the bluff overlooking Barton Creek.
