10/18/2007 - (Frisco) - With work underway on two hotels, ground will break in November on the residential component of the $130 million second phase of the Centre at Preston Ridge. In 2009, 80,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space will deliver with the 655-unit mid-rise multifamily complex. The two-building apartment complex will be 70 percent one-bedroom units, ranging from 500 square feet to 950 square feet. The remaining units will be two-bedroom designs from 1,050 square feet to 1,275 square feet and lofts that average 1,200 square feet. The average rent will be $975 per month. The first phase of the Centre at Preston Ridge, completed in 2000, was a 904,450-square-foot development. The Centre at Preston Ridge's 30-acre second phase got underway earlier this year with a 117-room Hilton Homewood Suites. The hotel will deliver at year's end. Westwood Residential Co. development site is across the road from Frisco Sierra, a 36-acre multifamily project that got underway this week. The Frisco Sierra developers will be rolling out 300 units of their 600-unit plan soon. And Dallas-based Hicks Sports Group has 37 acres banked for 1,000 residential units, office and retail to surround $114 million Frisco's entertainment and sports complex.

Apartment Developers Flocking to Frisco's Booming Market
(Frisco) - Post Properties is starting work on 275 apartments just east of the Dallas North Tollway. Post Properties' four-story Sierra Frisco apartment community on Warren Parkway will include 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Post also has land for an additional 350 units. Just across Parkwood Boulevard, developer Westwood Residential has broken ground on a 655-unit apartment community that's part of the Centre at Preston Ridge mixed-use development. Westwood's four-story buildings in Centre at Preston Ridge II will have about 15,000 square feet of retail and office space on the lower floors. Rents in the project will average around $975 a month. Several more apartment developments are in the works further north off the tollway in Frisco. Wood Partners plans to break ground in early 2008 on a 340-unit rental community called Alta Frisco on Eldorado Parkway just east of the tollway. Wood Partners plans to build a series of three-story townhouse-style buildings.

That project will include about 700 residential units, including apartments. And just across the tollway on Main Street, developers of the Frisco Square complex are gearing up for a new apartment building program. Robert Shaw has joined the project and plans to build about 800 rental units in Frisco Square. The first development of 286 apartments will kick off in early 2008.

Suburbs are Home of Foreclosure Woes
12/7/2007
This year, lenders sent out more than 40,000 home foreclosure notices in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. And the biggest percentage of those home loan defaults was in the suburbs. Outside of 14,000 postings in the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington had the most foreclosures with more than 2,900 postings, followed by Garland with about 1,900 and Grand Prairie with almost 1,700, according to Foreclosure Listing Service. Collin County cities had more than 1,000 postings each in McKinney, Frisco and Plano. Lancaster also had more than 1,000 postings. Some of the biggest increases in foreclosures were in fast-growing Collin County communities. For instance, the town of Prosper saw postings almost double this year. In Fairview, foreclosures surged 88 percent, with an average loan age of two years. North Texas' exclusive Park Cities neighborhoods were opposites in the foreclosure count. In Highland Park, the number of foreclosures dropped by 10 percent to a scant nine postings. But in neighboring University Park, the number of home loan defaults almost tripled to 32 postings.[Dallas Morning News]

As you know, we presented our Dog Park proposal to the Frisco Park & Rec Board on September 13th. The majority of the Board was very receptive to the idea of a Dog Park and instructed the City Park & Rec staff to research location options and estimated costs of construction. They will report this information back to the Park & Rec Board on November 8th, and we expect the Board to make a decision about the Dog Park. Please plan to attend this meeting to show your support -- it's very important that they see how many Frisco residents want a Dog Park!

The North Dallas Tollway is Open Alas!
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen sitting in bottleneck traffic along the service road of North Dallas Tollway, and nobody but residents of Frisco can share in the elation felt at the opening of the new extension of the North Dallas Tollway.
I found out this morning, (Sunday) on my way back from my once-per-month cheat of Krispy Kremes. Minding my own business, traveling the rickety service road, trying to figure out if I should make a break for it at Lebonan or hold out to Eldorado, when I saw faint movement to my right. Low-and-behold. I couldn't believe my eyes! Cars driving along the Tollway. Hoorah!
I've driven back and forth a few times now, only to have my excitement diminished by the hefty Eldorado toll of $1.30. Can you believe it? That's "highway robbery."
Oh well, at least I'm not still stuck at 121 and the Tollway. Now, if they'd only do something about Eldorado--fast!

CITY TO SPRAY FOR MOSQUITOES MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17
Parts of Frisco will be sprayed for Mosquitoes on Monday, September 17, 2007 between 10pm and 6am. "The city’s decision to spray follows confirmation received September 13 from the Texas Department of State Health Services that a mosquito sample taken from Frisco tested positive for West Nile Virus. The City of Frisco reports the mosquito sample was collected from a standing pool of water near the intersection of Teel and Eldorado Parkway."
"The City of Frisco recommends you stay indoors during spraying, bring pets indoors and refresh your pets’ outdoor water dishes the next morning. The ‘fogger truck’ will emit a 300 foot swath of spray from the back of the vehicle. If the ‘fogger truck’ encounters animals or people, such as joggers, the driver will turn off the ‘fogger’ and go around the individuals or animals. "
For more information, visit the City of Frisco.

Frisco approves a modified water Stage 3 Water Restrictions.
Glory, glory halleluiah! This just in! the City of Frisco has taken down those oppressive Stage 3 water restriction signs. As of June 6, 2007, The City Council modified its Stage 3 water restrictions to allow residents to water landscape twice a week.
Free at last! Free at last! Free from the vice grip of the City of Frisco! No more tickets for washing our cars, no more citations for watering our pots on Thursdays. Water can once again flow through the concrete alleys, and broken sprinklers can splatter into te streets. This is, after all, America.
Not so fast. It seems the powers that be are still holding the reins. "Effective July 1, 2007, the watering schedule will move from one day a week totwo days a week, based on address. Residents with street addresses ending in evennumbers can water on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Residents with street addressesending in odd numbers should water on Thursdays and Sundays. All non-residentialcustomers can water on Mondays and Fridays (see page 2). Modified Stage 3 time-of dayrestrictions remain the same, banning watering between the hours of 5 a.m. and 8a.m., and between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m."
Bla, bla bla ... I'm surprised they haven't voted to impose a curfew for adults, seeing how controlling the city council is. Give us a break. The golf course is flooded out! There is water everywhere! Why on earth would you limit water usage? We are Americans! We can monitor our own usage, thank you.
While FRISCO is allowing us to water twice a week, it is also offering residents a one time, $100 rebate if they install an irrigation device, known as an ‘ET’ controller, which is designed to save water – and money. Gee willikers.
"Effective immediately residents can wash vehicles with a hand held hose and a
spay nozzle. " Golly gee. I was thinking of using a bucket and a sponge. I'm also using some windex from the dollar store. Hope I don't get a ticket!
"The council’s decision to modify Stage 3 rules was based on, improved drought
conditions, a recommendation from the Public Works Department and a confidence that
water conservation has become a way of life for Frisco citizens."
Frisco, you're not even giving your residents a chance to take responsibility. You're too busy imposing restrictions.

Today I took a drive throughout Frisco, Texas, looking for a home for myself and my two frisky Airedales, Teddy & Sophie. We were thrilled to happen upon the Trails of West Frisco while wandering along Teel and Main Street near our new church, Celebration Covenant.
We arrived to this quaint Frisco new home community just before dusk. My dogs and I were thrilled when we saw the DR Horton sign, homes synonymous with value and quality. While searching for the model, perhaps hidden by the evening shade, we found a delightful home with three bedrooms, living area, game room and upstairs media room, listed for only $197,125. My guess would have been $225,000 because it was just perfect for me and my pals.
The Trails of West Frisco centers on a very significant green belt and modern, yet slight community center and elementary school. It's very family oriented, organized and uniform with walking trails and expansive farm land right around the corner.
