Golf Course Renovation is set to begin November 1st The Chase Oaks Golf Course has announced it is closing October 1, 2011. The master plan for the renovation is available here. ABANDONED HOMES
Please contact us at COHA@digichamber.com if a house on your street has been abandoned leaving the yard (or swimming pool) in desperate shape. This summer, we worked with three former owners and the City of Plano to make the best of a bad situation. We need your help in being our eyes and ears to avoid a property from becoming a real eye sore in the neighborhood.
NEWCOMERS to CHASE OAKS Have a new neighbor on your street? Please contact Janet Osorio, COHA Board member, at jeosorio114@yahoo.com so we can give them a big Chase Oaks welcome.
Hunting within the City Limits
(Reprinted from September 29th for those residents who have not registered their email address to receive the Chase Oaks email blasts concerning news and crime watch alerts.) If you live along the front nine of the golf course or have been walking the neighborhood in the afternoons, you have probably heard numerous shot gun blasts coming from about two tenths of a mile across the golf course. The shot gun blasts that you are hearing are actually dove hunters on the farm land adjacent to Connemara. One rumor is the land is part of the old Montgomery Farms ranch estate. The piece of land lies south of Bethany with 75 as the border on the east and with Connemara on the west. The south border of the land is directly next to the Chase Oaks golf course border. Go to the Dallas Morning News web site to find an article about this new Texas State law. A couple of the local TV news stations have also run stories about the new law on the evening news. Dove Hunting Season in North Texas is from September 1 to October 24, 2010.

New Posts at Front Entrance on Chase Oaks Boulevard
The rumor of September was the new cedar posts located on Chase Oaks Blvd. and Oak Ridge Drive are the result of work done by COHA for the front entrance. That rumor is false as defined in our September email blast to all working email addresses within Chase Oaks. The new cedar posts (called trail bollards by the City of Plano) are part of a new section of hike and bike trail built by the City of Plano to connect into their existing 65 miles of trail system throughout Plano.Renee Jordan, Plano Parks and Recreation Department Trail System Planner, has given us the following update. The trail bollards are set at trail/roadway intersections to give trail users a visual warning to proceed with caution as they are approaching an intersection with vehicular traffic. The new entrance ramps are ADA compliant, and because the ADA ramp openings are so wide, the trail bollards also serve to stop vehicles from turning onto the trail opening. In addition, the bollards will host miniature signs on the user side telling them to ‘stop’ at the intersection. This new section of trail originally went before the City of Plano City Council back in September of 2009. This trail proposal was put before the Plano City Council a total of three times since then. The money for the trail cost is split between the City of Plano and the Collin County Open Space Program. The cities of North Central Texas are following a trails master plan called the Regional Veloweb Plan by the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The cities are cooperating to link all the cities involved in an ongoing integrated trail system. Currently, the trail now ends at the intersection at 75 and Chase Oaks Blvd., but the next phase has it being built north to Allen. It will parallel the Chase Oaks pond; go over Rowlett Creek and then east under 75 towards Highway 5 in Allen. If you are a runner, walker, cyclist, or are into roller blading, you can now take the new trail south towards Spring Creek and connect into the Plano trails named Bluebonnet, Chisholm, and Preston Ridge Trails. Please go to the City of Plano web site to see the 65 mile trail system.
