Jon Prather,
I am opposed to this prospective project. We viewed all of the maps produced by Newland and carefully studied the area before deciding to build in this specific area.

The lake is the most attractive reason for me to decide building my house in this area. If I knew that they are going to build an apartment complex I would not have build a house in this section. Why should I pay property tax to have a house next to an apartment complex?

xxxxxxxx,
I feel bad for anyone who bought into any of the surrounding homes under the premises that the land would be used for commercial and NOT a 3-story eye sore that will no doubt bring the property values down, increase traffic on the walking trails and on the streets, jeopardize the safety of their families and put a hire demand on the already over crowded schools.

I am very much opposed to this project. I did not purchase my house to live next to an apartment complex and have my property value go down. Had I known this was the plan, I never would have bought my house here! The increased traffic & over-crowded schools are already a problem that will only magnify.

This is not what we were "sold" when we purchased our home. We moved all the way out here (another 30 min from downtown) because we wanted single family suburban life. That is what Cinco Ranch developers told us we would be getting...Multi-unit high rises do not denote suburban.

Newland’s attempt to commit fraud against all the home owners in Cinco SW needs to be stopped. I checked on this prior to building my home, and there was no mention of apartments on the lake. I would not have bought in this area had Newland told purchasers that they were going to attempt to construct apartments in the heart of a single family dwelling neighborhood. This attempt by Newland is heinous. If they are allowed to get away with this, what is next, the sale of our parks and reserves for fast food restaurant construction?

We are very upset by this new development. We were clearly told by Village Builders this would be upscale retail!

It very clear this will probably have significant negative qualitative and quantitative consequences to people who live and pay taxes in this area. I hope this doesn't imply that Newland Communties developer is having financial problems? This just doesn't make sense long term for Cinco ranch or Newland. I hope Newland is smarter than this?

Laura Figueroa,

Chad Hagan,
Newland, Simply Cinco and the builders consistently represented this tract as "light traffic, high end mixed retail". Newland placed large signs on the tract confirming that it was "mixed commercial/retail" which is also consistent with the community land maps they have distributed over the past few years. We relied on those representations when purchasing our home and moved to the area to get away from Apartment developments. We invested heavily in the lake lot and our home which is directly across from the C-5 tract. The development of a multi-family apartment complext would greatly diminish the value of our home, create congestion around the lake and community ammenities, and create safety and traffic concerns. For these reasons, among others, I am strongly opposed to this prospective development.

Maria& Alan Bretz,
We were told by our builder that only shops and churches would be going in the open grounds. We were told this area was the upscale area of Cinco Ranch when we bought here.

I was told there would be retail around me, not apartments. If I wanted to live near apartments, I would have done so. Why would you put apartments near million dollar homes anyway?! The proposed developments around us have us thinking about selling, which is disappointing, We built this house to grow into & raise our children.

Apartments would ruin the look of this beautiful area. There is no reason to put apartments in the middle of this neighborhood.

We are VERY concerned about our property values, our personal safety, adding to the already overburdened roadways, and especially adding that many new families to an already OVERCROWDED school.

Katyna & Aldo Reyes,
There are many alternate sites that could house an apartment complex. We feel deceived that this proposal is even being considered by Newland despite the obvious protest to this irrational placement of a complex next door to *very recent* substantial residential real estate investments. We are eminently opposed to this proposal and will support all community efforts to stop this from happening.

I was concerned about buying my home in an area that was not developed. I carefully reviewed the Newland maps before I chose Park Place. I definitely would not have chosen this area had Newland accurately represented their plans for apartments.

Rochelle Savel,

Neil Ruocco,
We bought in Park Place with the understanding of that tract of land and the corner tract adjacent to Park Place being Commercial mixed use/retail as Newland has published and presented. For Newland to do something different than that I would consider to be false representation. This is an ideal area for specialty retail, restaurants or light commercial and I am greatly opposed to Newland or any other entity now proposing to build multifamily on this tract.

Jason Falconer,
I am opposed to this potential development. When purchasing my home I was assured by both Newland and my Ryland Homes agent that the property in question was to be "mix use" commercial. I was given examples such as restaurants, shops and other forms of light retail. I specifically asked about the potential of low income or high density housing and I was assured this would not happen. I was given a number of reasons as to why this wouldn't happen, but the two primary reasons were to protect the value of the Newland Cinco Ranch development and to protect the investments made by each home owner.

When buying the home here, we were clearly told that land would be used for commercia. We feel so upset when heard the land could be used to build an apartment complex.

Thomas Wilkins,
An Apartment Complex will bring more people for the Tax Payer's to carry. There is no state income tax so these Renters will not pay for any services the Government will provide for them to live here, Roads, Trash, Water Police, Fire Dept and many more. They will pay no School Taxes for their children to attend our schools. They will pay no M.U.D. Taxes to use our water services. We the Home Owner will have to pay INCREASED TAXES for them to live here.

This news is very dissappointing. We will support in any way we can.,

Vanessa O\'Donnell,

Arthur Sturges,
Before purchasing in this community, we researched it thoroughly and their was no mention of apartments but the area in question would b for retail and commercial. This will definitely impact property value and we would have chosen another area. If residents were to believe it was for one purpose now it is being negotiated for another then this is wrong and a question of integrity. This area needs retail and commercial not apartments. We r opposed!!!!!!!!!

xxxxxxxx,
I clearly remembered that when I purchased my house here, the sales told us that no apartment building will be built on the commercial property around spring lake. I think they have committed fraud against all home buyers in our community.

xxxxxxxx,
We were told by the builder (with a copy of the master plan of the subdivision) those tracks will be used for Commercial, in the same map with the Cinco Ranch and NewLand logo other tracts planned for multifamily development were included, now two years later seems like the plans were changed with out notice, why this master plan changed? why we werent told about that? hundred of families made decisions based on the information provide from the builder (including verbal and written information).

Sebastian Hansen,

I am opposed to the proposed apt development in CR SW. There are several other apt projects being built now and is totally unnecessary. Close retail stores are what is needed for current residents.

I checked with several builders before buying and was told that this was going to be upscale commercial land. Such misrepresentation of information is clearly very devious and fraudulent, if Newland and Fort Bend county do not listen to us, are there any options for us to pursue class action?

We researched may neighborhoods before deciding where to move and chose this location because of the high desirability, stable property values, beauty and proposed high-end retail nearby. We have been here for 3 months and are now facing higher taxes, a loss in our homes value and an eyesore. We paid a high price for our home and were hoping to spend many years in a beautiful, safe, higher end neighborhood. To say we are unhappy would be a HUGE understatement!!! We greatly oppose this apartment complex!

I am disgusted that Newland Communities would mislead residents this way. We were very happy to move here only 3 short months ago and now we are regretting our decision. How can they be allowed to play with peoples lives this way? We never would have bought here if we were told the truth, and they obviously know that or this wouldn't have been kept such a big secret. I vote for a class action law suit!

Jason Vetterick,
This is a bad idea. Why put multi-family units right in the middle of the neighborhood? Why not use the outer laying areas? I am opposed, there is no positive upside to this for existing residents. This will drive property values down.

I am appalled that Newland has misrepresented their intentions for this property. Potential future Newland community residents should beware.

wensen wang,
any multi-family development will destory our cinco ranch community and our home. we have to stop it.

xxxxxxxx,
It is very un-ethical of Newland Communities to have an apartment community, especially after all the homes are built. So, everyone pays premium $$$$$ for a home in the Cinco Ranch. And after almost all the homes are built, they talk about building an Apartment Community!!! I am not sure whether this is grounds for legal action, but I sure would support one against Newland.

Apartments will not only affect house values; they also play on the quality of our children's education. In today's growing class sizes and budget cuts, this is going add problems our already overburdened and underfunded schools. Please keep your schools and PTA informed.

Kathy Martinez-Campos,
Please, please!!! don't do this to the community. The lake it is such a beauty for us and the surrounding areas, a space to feel peace.... we just have moved here because of the lake and scaping from an apartment complex that was close our old house.......and it is not fair, because it was not planned and it is supposed to be a MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY......why don't you build more houses!! the schools are going to be packed, and for sure, we won't have new schools for a while with this budget cut. Not other areas have apartment, why a nice area have to have them??????

pam keck,
how disrespectful to be sold properties at high dollar for investment and quality of life, then throw in an apt. complex to overpopulate, increase traffic, spoil views, etc. i had hopes of newland maintaining his trust and compassion to the people who believed and invested with him.

Srini Sundarrajan,
Let me know if you need help to spread the word about this movement and the website to the affected residents. We can leave flyers at the door steps of affected homes or have somebody from each street volunteer to organize participation from their street residents. It is important to get as many people involved as quickly as possible. I can volunteer my time towards this. Thanks for your efforts.

Preetha Seenivasan,
The proposed apartment will negatively affect the entire community. We didn't pay a premium for the land (just because of the lake) for our homes only to see the value go down due to the apartment.

We were also told that there would be high end commercial develompents not multi-family dwellings.

The impact this would have on property values would be devastating to anyone who has a mortgage on their home. The local schools already have more students than they can handle and face severe budget cuts from the state, so they can't possibly absorb 200+ more families' children. There are so many other reasons this is a bad idea. Just say NO!

It is very disappointing that Newland is trying to destroy one of the most appealing areas in West Cinco. Retail means Retail not Multi-Family

Mike Dear,
It certainly appears deceitful that Newland (and others) entice in homeowners on a certain basis, then just as the homes are sold and families take up residence they change the plans. There are three major issues which I object to;
1. Buying a property under false pretences
2. The considerable additional volume of people/traffic. This also raises significant safety concerns for our children due to the heavy traffic.
3. A significant apartment block will be unsightly

For these reasons I am strongly against the apartment development.

Levi Bennett,
This is absolutely outrageous! It is bad enough there is an apartment complex under construction at 1093 and Katy-Gaston, but there are a few others along 1093 that are also being proposed. Its absurd to think of the value that homeowners are going to lose if this transpires. I, like many others in opposition would have not purchased anywhere near this area had the notion of anything resembling a mulit-dwelling unit been brought to my attention. "upscale retail" "mixed used commericial/retail" - is this now some sort of weird joke? I sincerely hope the builders of Cinco Ranch, especially Highland and JKyle Homes are getting involved and taking this seriously. With a new section just opening in Park Place, this could have devastating impact on their progress.
As many of the nearby residents of Spring Lake would agree, this is such a serene and peaceful area and to ruin the community atmosphere of this location with an apartment complex, would be a down right shame. This tract is SCREAMING for upscale eateries, high end retail, boutique style shops, etc. The lake is too beautiful and creates such value for those nearby that to destroy it with apartments is borderline criminal.
I look forward to doing everything I can to prevent the destruction of my home value and the quality of life that my family enjoys in this area.

Highland and the Newland misrepresented their companies intentions when I purchased my home on Greenwell Springs. We were informed the property in questions was designated for light commercial retail space. The building of apartments is a clear misrepresentation from what the Newland and Highland had communicated at the time I purchased my home. If I would have know a apartment complex was going to be built in my neighborhood, I would have never purchased property in this community. If the proposed apartment complex is built, I strongly feel Newland and Highland is liable for deceptive actions they they had portrayed at the time of my purchase.

I just closed on a house in this area. I feel like I've been lied to about having an upscale shopping area. While building this home our family spent 7 months in an apartment complex, didn't plan on living close to another one.

Wes Young,
Please consider the fact that we would not have purchased based on the information provided at purchase. Either our builder was misinformed, or knowingly misled us at the time of purchase based on information provided by Newland properties. This is blatant misrepresentation by Newland and reflects poorly on the builders if they allow this to go unchallenged.

I am adamantly opposed to this. What a counter-intuitive thing to do; this really seems deceitful. This proposed development, along with others in the area, feels like a reckless combination that will only damage the area and our neighborhoods. Why build an apartment complex in the ‘heart’ of Cinco Ranch?! It’s a beautiful area that deserves something better.

Natalia Ortega Mondragon,
Please note my firm opposition to the proposed apartment complex in the Spring Lake area.

On all the maps and signage I have seen, this area was not designated for multi-family dwellings. I am highly disappointed with Newland for presenting the areas to potential homeowners as upscale retail, but now that the area is almost built-out, they have changed their mind about what "commercial use and retail" means. Apartments by the lake is NOT what they promised us. One other comment - Multi-family dwellings within Cinco Ranch I do not seem to have to comply with the same HOA regulations that the homeowners do. They are in desperate need of regular maintenance and repairs. I am afraid it will be the same way in Cinco SW and become an eyesore to the beautiful ambiance of the lake and the homes surrounding it.

Mark Griffin,

Ann Muehling,
Apartment community at that location would devalue nearby properties as well as cause safety concerns (extra traffic) and over crowding of the currently over crowded schools. Newland needs to honor their promise that this land would be used for upscale light commercial use.

Newland, if you want to save your credibility and reputation and save the corporation from a class-action lawsuit, then I would advise you to withdrawl the possibility of this current apt project, or ones in the future from any development plans. This should NOT be just about Newland making money. This is about an upscale single-family dwelling community being ruined. The placement of apts anywhere within Cinco Southwest would financially impact the homeowners negatively. The schools are already overcrowded and no relief is immediately in sight. Newland you need to listen clearly to the residents of Cinco Southwest who were all told that there would be no apartments in our community. If this was never the intent, then you have defrauded a whole community. What a shame!

xxxxxxxx,
I am super concerned and opposed to this multi family development being built in Cinco Southwest. We were assured, when we built in Park Place, that this was not an option. What happened to the Newland plans and maps that were produced when we selected our home site? The view of the lake was one of the main reasons we selected to build in Park Place. That will no longer be an asset but will now be an eye sore.

Jackie Curtis,
I am completely opposed to this project. Spring Lake is one of the greatest draws to this area of Cinco Southwest and if there are apartments placed there Newland Communities will be looked upon as a lesser master planned community.What are they thinking?

Carl Collins,
When we bought our home in Park Place at Cinco Ranch we were told Tract C5 for was Retail/Commerical use not Mutli-family dwellings. When we checked the maps and zoning it showed the same information. We feel we were deceived by Newland and Highland Homes. We would not have bought in Cinco Southwest if this information had been made available to us.

Total "bait and switch" to those who purchased houses in the area. PLEASE do not do this transaction as we would like to keep the sense of COMMUNITY not TRANSIENT in our area. People who "come and go" within a lease will NOT VALUE our communal areas as we who pay premium taxes to live in this area do. NOTHING GOOD can come from apartments "smack dab" in the middle of new Cinco. This is unnecessary and not putting the community before the dollar. Please reconsider elsewhere.

We looked into the planned developments surrounding our home in SW Cinco Ranch before purchasing our home. We were sold a home under false pretenses if these apartments are built.

I am apalled and outraged by this proposal. There seems to be no thought provided to safety, property values or what this would mean to already crowded Cinco schools.

I am vehemently opposed to any apartments being built in Cinco Ranch Southwest. The schools are already over burdened by the single family housing in this area. One proposal is to put a vote up through the HOA to purchase the land and make ball fields.

I echo the comments below. When I purchased my home, I believed the land was going to be use for businesses to serve Cinco Southwest residents. We will lose the land for this opportunity and additional residents in the area are likely to use facilities paid by Cinco Southwest home owners such as parks and recrerational areas.

Matt Cieslewicz,
Low income housing on the south side of 1093 at Spring Green and now additional apartments on the north side is too much. Neither of these properties are needed or wanted.

Our family did not move into a "master planned community" and pay nearly 00 a year to the neighborhood association to see multiple tenant housing developments overcrowd our schools and neighborhoods. Stanley Elementary already has 10 portable buildings with another 15 coming next year!

Have also heard about a low income HUD development at the SW corner of Spring Green and 1093. Although this is outside of Cinco Ranch, it will have also have a negative impact on our community.

Lester Strech Jr,
I am not in agreement, in any way, with the proposed multi-family housing development near the famous Cinco Ranch waterfall. This corner is an anchor of our development used every weekend for pictures and relaxation. We carefully reviewed all potential uses of this land before we purchased our home and a multi-family development was not disclosed as an option.

Putting an apartment complex in the middle of Cinco Southwest contradicts all the information conveyed in maps, printed material and comments made by Highland homes sales personnel. If there had been maps depicting apartments or dicussions about putting an apartment complex we would not have bought in this area. Newland and the associated builders will find themselves with an interesting new reputation should this apartment construction progress - the "bait and switch builders", advertise a single household community but deliver something we all bought here to escape . I for one will do all in my power to make sure that all prospective home buyers in the surroundling area get the news that they can expect a 15-20% reduction in their home value very soon after they close ... and forget about relaxing strolls around the lake - it will be waiting lines and jostling elbows in the few areas left that are not covered by parking lots for the 230 apartments. Better to get out now before the house values drop!

Newland has a responsiblity to homeowners of this master planned community to ensure that our community is not negatively impacted by future developments. This proposed apartment project WILL cause further crowding of common-use facilites and schools, and will probably lower our home values. Newland must respond to this petition with results of a study that surely they have completed prior to making a decision to sell to an apartment developer! Until I see the results of this study and until Newland is forthcoming with more information to address homeowner concerns, I am vehemently opposed to the plan for building these apartments.

Glorimar Sepulveda,
The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices - Consumer Protection Act (DTPA) protects consumers from false, misleading or deceptive practices. Intentional false representation (fraud) and innocent false representation (misrepresentation) are both penalized under this act.
It is clear that Newland and the builders of Cinco Ranch have mislead us as consumers; or are they going to say that we all misunderstood?

Tim Gray,

Trecia Ricks,
I had no idea this was happening! I was SHOCKED!! If we had known this was the case we never would have build here. I feel that we were decieved. Why do they want to ruin a nice area with apartments? This will change the whole area including the schools!

The project in numbers:
200+ complex unit will translate in over 300 additional vehicles with reduced accessing streets
at least 400+ required seats for school, with less teachers.
Increase of pollution of all kinds.
... And an average 3% tax, that should be re-invested in more green areas for family enjoyment

This should be a commercial area as promised by builders when we purchased our homes. Low income and/or multifamily units will hurt our school district, resale values, and increase crime rates. There is no public transportation and few businesses within walkind distance for low income residents to work. Low income residence do not pay school taxes, therefore our taxes will go up and our children will suffer even more with the current budget cut issue. Please stop trying to place low income housing in this area!!

Paul Valasek,

Jeff Garcia,
There is nothing positive to be gained by any residents in this area by another apartment complex going up in the middle of our residential area. We paid a lot of money for our homes and continue to pay high taxes and maintenance dues to live here. This will only negatively impact our property values and neighborhood setting.

Marya Chaney,
I don't like the idea of having apartments where mixed use/commercial was promised. In addition, I beieve that it is a poor business decision for there to be a apartment complex directly on the drive through Cinco Ranch towards the new Model Home Village. This may result in fewer new homes sold.

Chris Chaney,
There may be legal recourse involved as there are laws that prohibit advertising one thing and providing something else. The phrase "bait and switch" comes to mind.

xxxxxxxx,
A multi-family dwelling of that size will significantly and negitively impact our neighborhood by crouding schools, congesting roads, reducing open spaces and contributing to noise and light pollution.

Amy Mann,

Donny Suhartono,
Newland has a responsibility to be honest and truthful but reading from the list below, everyone was told that there would be a high end retail store instead of apartments building. As in my case, Highland never mentioned anything about Newland building an Apartment building either. Newland ought to be smarter than this. If they proceed with the Apartment plan, they will lose all the trust that people have put for many years in Cinco Ranch and in Newland. This is a classic case of going after a mere profit over maintaining high standard. Not to mention the schools that are already over-crowded and can further jeapordize our school's quality.

Kane Heinen,

Mimi Farolan,
Do not approve of this project..we were told that this area was going to be retail shops..we moved here despite the high taxes so that our children could attend the fine schools of Cinco Ranch,these people won't pay the taxes but will get to send their children w ours..not acceptable!!

Steven E. Montgomery,
Very disapointed that Newland would allow an apartment project in this community. Why allow people to live in this area when they can not afford to purchase a house. This is why I moved here in the first place, to get away from apartment projects. They always seem to eventually bring crime and that causes the lowering of property values.

Newland and the builders in this area fraudulently promoted the development plans to the purchasers in this area. It is interesting that this comes at a time when the Model Home Village is closing.

Like so many others, we invested substantially in a lake lot based on Newland's representations that the "commercial" property on the lake would be developed at upscale retail -- not apartments. It is clear that Newland has benefited from those representations by selling the lots at a premium that never would have been realized by Newland had the future development of apartments been disclosed. The proposed development of apartments on the "commercial" tracts will result in a dramatic decrease in our home values, overcrowding of the lake and nearby community areas (resulting in an increased burden on existing homeowners), threaten the safety of the community, and result in a decline in the quality of our childrens' school. I am opposed.

xxxxxxxx,

Grace Nwabara,

I agree with others - Newland, Simply Cinco and the builders consistently represented this tract as "light traffic, high end mixed retail". Newland placed large signs on the tract confirming that it was "mixed commercial/retail" which is also consistent with the community land maps they have distributed over the past few years. We relied on those representations when purchasing our home and moved to the area to get away from Apartment developments. We invested heavily in the lake lot and our home which is directly across from the C-5 tract. The development of a multi-family apartment complext would greatly diminish the value of our home, create congestion around the lake and community ammenities, and create safety and traffic concerns. For these reasons, among others, I am strongly opposed to this prospective development.

In this signed petition, I am asking that any multi-family development be prohibited on Tract C5 in Cinco Ranch Southwest.

I would be willing to joint legal action, if required, to stop this from being built.

Jim Holmes,

xxxxxxxx,
It is very disappointing to hear of the intended development of Tract C5. Whilst I am sure the apartments will be "upscale" and be a valuable property resource for professionals (teachers/nurses/single parents) it will add excessively to the burden on already limited resources. Even worse than an apartment block however, is the construction of a McDonalds restaurant in the vicinity. This, above anything else, lowers the tone of the area and whilst apartments may reduce the amount of sidewalk we have to walk, on a McDonalds will bring in much more through traffic, teens/hangers out, and nasy cooking fumes.
When we bought in CincoSW it was because of the amount of green space, property design and overall aesthetics. When the area first opened Newland seemed to have everything "right", now it seems that they have lost the plot and you wonder what the future holds. Potentially there are bigger issues here though, as we are already lacking recreational areas (swmimming pools & parks)as Newland has no money to build them. I am sure this issue is going to be one of many and the worst is yet to come. As for a drain on KatyISD, the situation is already dire and it is going to get much worse before it gets better. STOP the building of down-market chain stores and apartments and build what you promised - upscale restaurants, recreational green space and good family homes.

I'm not agree with this construction if will make the price of my house goes down and also I bought here because is a quiet place with acceptable traffic so far.

Apartments on the C-5 tract will have a negative impact on nearby schools, resulting in larger classes and a strain on resources.

We moved to Cinco Ranch for great schools, not for ones used by apartment complexes.

Eric Barruetta,
We moved here from Peek Rd and Highland Knolls because we wanted a nice quality and less congested neighborhood for our family. Had we known that they were building APARTMENTS here we would have chosen elsewhere. I have yet to see any apartment complex keep their original standards say after 10 years. Plus, they completely take away from the surrounding landscape. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!!!

Michael McFarlen,
I am adamently opposed to the construction of a multi-family development on Tract C5. I did not move all the way out of Houston to Cinco Ranch, pay a ton of money for a home, pay a ton of taxes on the home each month, and sit in 1.5 hours of traffic each day to get downtown just to live next to another apartment like I was in Houston. This was the express purpose of us moving to Cinco Ranch: no apartments, good schools, and not too crowded...this development deters from all three.

Diane Kiecke,
I truly am shocked that a developer with such a good reputation in our community as Newland would choose to go against the very map they printed and distributed to their builders and prospective homeowners. We all made decisions to invest time and money in what is unequivocally our most precious and possibly costly investment, our home.

I lived for 17 years off of the first lake in Cinco-Southlake Village Estates. It too was bordered by a busy street, much busier than Spring Lake and I could not imagine apartments overshadowing the gorgeous walkways and overlooking the homes around the lake.

Joanne Jackson,
This will not only hurt the present homeowners values but future building in that area. I don't see anything good coming out of this proposal other than money for Newland. It's all about the bottom line....he-- with everyone else.

I moved to Cinco Ranch to be away from tall apartment complexes and be surrounded by houses. I wanted to live in the suburbs and everything that comes with it. This is defeating the idea of a suburb.

Apartments along 1093 or surrounding lower priced houses seems reasonable. To infiltrate the heart of a beautiful neighborhood with apartments would be a travesty. I, along with my fellow neighbors, did not buy my house to have a nice view of "apartments". My guess is the other homeowners that bought 0k+ to over 1M houses did not buy their house to look at an apartment complex either. I hope Newland will listen to the voices of the community and NOT sell to the apartment developer. I can think of a number of better options...How about a nice restaurant? Or commercial space? Or better yet, just a leave it a nice green belt area. I would be interested to know if in The Woodlands there apartment complexes right next to 1M+ homes. Seriously!!!! Anything but an apartment complex!!! C'mon Newland.

The additional congestion of roads and schools, and additional light and noise pollution that would accompany an apartment building are definately unwanted neighbors anywhere in SW Cinco Ranch, but particularly in our "heart" on Spring Lake.

Shannon Staley,

Chuck Xu, Grace Zhang,
I was shocked to hear what Newland is trying to do. Building a multi-family apartment in the heart of upscale single-family houses will bring down the values of all the houses in this area. This is inconsistent with what they advertised for the "planned" community. We ask Newland to stop the attempt.

Newland should stand behind their original published development plans and not pull a fast one like this. They should also understand that selling out the remaining area to builders and home buyers will be extremely difficult if Newland demonstrates that they are no longer committed to perserving our community and the value of our investments.

Sara Martinsen,
That area of our community is not set up to hold that type of housing. It will cause traffic problems, overcrowding of our already crowded schools, and make our pools and other facilities crowded as well.

Purchase in the area was predicated on home values and gradual development in the area for upscale commercial.

The spring lake is the heart of the neighborhood and the reason we bought the house here three years ago. The builder told us the land beside the lake was for high end retail use and the map we got showed the same thing. Had we known they were building an apartment there, we would not have bought our house here. We feel cheated. Newland, do you have to cheat and harm so many people in order to earn your money? There must be other way that can benefit both the residents and Newland. We are strongly opposed to this multi-family apartment on Tract C5 in Cinco Ranch Southwest.

If they can't sell them as retail either expand the parkland and nature reserves or worst case develop them as single housing units, at least that would keep a consistency about the area.

I would have never built my house here had I had known Newland Communities was going to turn this area into a three ring circus. Since when is an apartment complex and a McDonald's considered "upscale retail"? I strongly oppose this project and feel Newland grossly misrepresented the intended use for Tract C5.

xxxxxxxx,
This is clearly a misrepresentation of what we were sold. If these apartments get built, I would support a class action suit to try and recover our lost property values.

Fiorella Oliva,

I was told we would have high end restaurants in this area, which could look nice like La Centerra. Why pay close to 0K for a home overlooking an apartment complex?

xxxxxxxx,
Newland does not care about the homeowners of Cinco Ranch if they do this. Values will go down, and Seven Lakes High School will get low achieving students. It is overcrowded as it is, and does not need a densely populated apartment complex. The lake view will be ruined. I would like a high end business area like the old Westberry Square, which would incorporate the walking paths.

xxxxxxxx,
We recently moved to the area for the ambience, prestige and the quiet, single family suburban life. Although the geographic location was not ideal, we still made the decision to build here thinking that it was worth the extra drive. Had we known that this area would turn into a congested neighborhood, we wouldn't even have considered looking. Please reconsider and think of all the residents who have I invested their time, money and effort into helping Newland Community number one.

Cheryl Goudy,
Had we known that there would soon be apartments on that corner, we would not have moved here. The advertisements read that it would be a retail/commercial area. I was looking forward to a nice area to shop that was just walking distance from home, not an 'upscale' multi-family eye sore. No matter how 'upscale' the apartments are they are still surburban apartments. Newland communities falsely advertised this area. I want the high-end commercial/retail that Newlands advertised, not apartments and MacDonalds.

I am building and relocating my Orthodontist Office ( Katy Orthodontics ) at the corner of Spring Green and Downing Park, directly opposite the proposed Apartments. When I purchased the land, I was also told by Newland that all 4 corners of Spring Green and Cinco Ranch Blvd. would be "high end retail". This was one of the reasons I picked this location as well as the view of the lake. I am strongly opposed to this proposed apartment complex.

Kathryn Holland,
At present, the corner at Spring Lake is tremendously appealing to anyone who is considering the purchase of a home in this part of Cinco Ranch. Adding apartments and a McDonalds will drastically lesson that appeal. It will also decrease the property values of many, many homes in the vicinity. Like so many other signers, I made the decision to build a home here in part because I was led by my builder to believe that the Spring Green areas marked "commercial" were set aside for upscale retail, not multifamily housing or fast food. I have no doubt that my family will suffer financial damages if apartments and a McDonalds are built there.

Anna,
Appartments will drive the value of Cinco Ranch down. They will have negative effect on house value and schools.

Andre,

What a disappointment! If we had known about this plan, we would have NEVER moved here. Cinco Ranch is the #1 community to live in TX for a reason and such construction plans will surely decrease the value...and not to mention increase crime! No one wants to pay high dollars to live in a community which houses apartment tenants.

Signs indicate retail/commercial use, not residential. Apartments would have a negative impact on our already overcrowded schools and traffic in the area.

I am against this newly proposed apartment and I dont support it at all. It is extremely bad idea and it is only money driven. It is very unfortunate even only to propose such things for cinco ranch southwest. This area should always be kept for family residence not for renting.

This area is not appropriate for multi-family units; "upscale" or otherwise. The residents pay substantial HOA dues and other fees to live in an area that ONLY house single-family homes. The home prices in this area are considerably higher (0k & up) than typical home prices in areas that house multi-family units in close proximity. The building of this multi-family unit in this area is very bad planning and would most certainly cause every homeowner's property value in the area to decrease.

Sai Majhi,
After careful review of all available information, I oppose the development of the Spring Lake Apartment in the proposed location at the heart of SW Cinco Ranch.

xxxxxxxx,
Strongly oppose this apartment complex!

Chad Peterson,
I'm not in favor of having a apartment complex this close to my home. I spent a lot of money to purchase a home that isn't near apartments and pay extremely high property taxes in order to keep away from this type enviornment and to be within close proximity to good schools. If a apartment complex is built here I will more likely than not move north towards the Woodlands because they have better restrictions and would not allow this to happen.

Karl Dalal,

No Apartment please! There is so many other apartments around Katy, we do not need another one to congest the area. The reason I want to move to Katy is because of nice area and space for my kids to play and grow up. Apartments = more crime. I will never buy a house again developed by Newland. This is ridiculous. I purchase a house in Cinco for a reason NOT to live by apartments.

Jenny Shi,

Mike Baumgartner,
We strongly oppose this project. The main reason we bought our house is due to Cinco SW is a green community with the lakes we like. They should not build any apartment around/close to the lakes. It increases traffics and pollutions and ruins the lake view.

We bought our house because there is no any apartment complex , so we are not agree with this project

I am completely opposed on the Spring Lake Apartments project. I believe that the proposed area for this project should stay as a green area where Cinco Ranch residents can take their family to have fun, (bike riding, fishing, walking, picnics, and so many other outdoor activities) this was one of reasons that attracted us to purchase our home here. We like telling our friends how great Cinco Ranch is to raise a family, but if this project gets built it will only ruin the image that Cinco Ranch has as a family community where there are many outdoor activities.

The multi-family dwelling was NEVER listed on any map or communicated to homebuyers. This property was zoned commercial. To place a multi-family dwelling is deceitful, if not illegal.

I'll certainly remember this when purchasing my next home.

Diane Severance,
Our Cinco Ranch is becoming overcome by Apartments and Duplex housing, It is getting ridiculous. We bought in this subdivision to get away from this type of atmosphere, please stop this nonsense.

Robert Foit,
I do not want to see these apartments built. I do not want this hurting home values and the area.

Seng Kee,
Even though I'm not a Cinco Ranch resident, I live in the adjoining Pine Mill Ranch, and this project will negatively impact the surrounding area. We had our annual meeting tonight, and all the residents at my subdivision are totally opposed to it as well. It doesnt make sense to have an apt complex at such an appealing intersection. The roads are just not equipped to handle such a high density project unlike the project on 1093 and Gaston or the other project on 99 and Kingsland; both are near major highways that can siphon the traffic away quickly. I'll definitely let my friends in Cinco Ranch know about it.

xxxxxxxx,
We had closed on our house two weeks ago to find out that there will be an apartment complex, built right in front of us. If I had known this, I would have broke the contract or asked to decrease selling price at least 20%. But Obviously people who are selling these properties have mal intent. It is very disappointing to see how such a nice neighborhood will be the victim of the greedy some.
I hope they will come to their senses and realize that putting an apartment complex on other peoples backyard is not such a great idea. Another strange fact is that we were asked to get permission even to build a patio for our backyard and these people are planing to build an apartment complex without anybody's approval(at least not mine). Doesn't this sound wrong?

xxxxxxxx,
We were told when we purchased our home there would be no apartments in that area. We specifically asked about that and were assured it was going to be upscale retail. We moved out of our previous neighborhood because apartments started popping up right next to us. This will not benefit homeowners, will cause overcrowding of the already popular lake and walking trails, and contribute to the existing overcrowding in schools. We do not want to pay property tax and HOA fees so others in apartments can enjoy what we pay for. Newland Communities lied to us and our builder lied to us. We were told there would be no apartments which is why we chose to build our house in this community.

We are greatly opposed to the building of any apartment complex (high-end or not). We feel HIGHLY mislead as all our research and questions asked prior to the purchase of our home lead us to believe this space would be used for commerical plans such as business offices, stores, or private schools...NOT apartments. We choose this area for the outstanding community that held their property values, magnificint schools, and the safety of a great neighborhood. We would NOT have bought in this area knowing there would be apartments (multi-family high end however they want to title it). With apartments there would be an increased amount of vehicle traffic and foot traffic that would jeopordize our sense of security.

I am concerning the traffic on the nearby roads and overcrowding of nearby schools. I don't want my house value decreased. I hope they will build a comercial center or office building there so would be conveniet for us.

The reason why we moved to Cinco Ranch was to get away from apartments and all that comes with it. At first, they may be nice, but over time- they will decline, thus bringing down our neighborhood that we pay quite a bit to live in. PLEASE don't build these apartments.

Dining establishments, shopping, outdoor spaces to enjoy an icecream or coffee would be more ideal.

My family as well as my neighbors are upset and disturbed by the proposition to have the apartment complex built in the heart of Cinco Ranch SW. We moved out here to start our family, enjoy the scenery and ambiance of the suburbs, get out of the traffic and pace of "city" life in town and Cinco Ranch promised this and more. The apartment complex would undoubtedly increase traffic congestion, lower property values, take away from the peaceful scenery, add to the overcrowded school system and take away valuable land available for giving the community amenities which are much needed and long waited for. Where is the mixed/commercial retail that we were promised??? The plans for the apartment complex must be stopped.

This proposed use of what was promised and portrayed as being mixed use and retail land is obsurd. This would be a HUGE mistake to build in a master planned community that has seen no slow down of building as families were seduced by the lure of the family lifestyle, safety, manicured landscaping, high property values, lighter traffic and a good school district. Building the apartment complex will diminish those things for all and I strongly oppose it.

Steve White,
When we were evaluating the option of building a home in Cinco SW, we asked our real estate agent, the builder (actually several of the builders we were considering) and the Simply Cinco office at La Centerra what was planned for the sites at the 4 corners of Spring Green and Cinco Ranch Blvd. All of them said retail stores, businesses and resturants. When we specifically asked them about potential for industrial use, well pads/facilities or apartments; they said there were no plans for them. With this type of agreement from various sources, it is obvious that is what was disseminated by Newland Communities. We are opposed to building a multi-family dwelling(s) on these sites.

We would like to have high-end restaurants and stores next to our homes rather than apartments that will be several times more crowded than current homes. That was our understanding when we bought our house.

How is this going to affect the school zoning? We are proud of the excellent schools in our area, and adding an apartment complex with so many families will make the already overcrowded school problem just worse. We elected to live in Cinco for a reason, and that reason is a single family home community, not a mixed use development! We already got a gas station and a repair shop in the middle of the residential area, what's next.... a warehouse rental facility?

helne,
Had I known there was going to be apartments in that area, I would not have purchased a home in this community. Vote for No Appartments!

Cinco Ranch: a Master Planned Community that used to have a plan. Newland should be trying to enhance the community, not de-value it. This is a clear case of misrepresentation. We moved from the older part of Cinco Ranch to Cinco SW because of the track record of the development. There are no apartments in the heart of old Cinco, why would they be built in the middle of a residental area in Cinco SW? We spoke with multiple builders about the development of the lake area. Not one mentioned the possibility of multi-family housing in the area, much less on the lake. This isn't a logical place for an apartment complex. They obviously don't have the home owners' best interests in mind. All Cinco Ranch SW home owners should be opposed to this project.

Please do not build apartments as this takes away from the sernity of the place....There are plenty of apartments in the area and it appears that there is a new one coming up every day. So why do we need more?

Mixed Retail, as denoted on the flyers, signs and communications with Village Builders, is important for the sustainability and desirability of our community long term. This short-term decision will have a lasting negative impact long after Newland has sold and developed Cinco Ranch.

Cindy Ferrell,
My husband and I are in the process of building on 27703 Charter Lake Lane. If we would have known apartments were going to be acrossd the lake from us we would not have purchased this lot. We would be living in the Woodlands or Sugarland instead.

Eric Stutes,
I feel that Newland definately presented the commercial areas to past home buyers as being restricted and closely controlled which now does not at all seem to be the case.

Why would you build an apartment complex right in the middle of a subdivision! The lake is a place to enjoy the beautiful scenary, not to look at an apartment complex! I pay too high of taxes to be dealing with this mess!

To me, "Mixed Retail, Commercial Use" does NOT include apartments of any kind.

Julio & Shawn Carmona,
What a shame if an apartment complex goes up next to 0,000+ homes and they are staring into your backyard!! Part of what I love about coming home each night is the relaxing view as I pass by the lake, which of course would be blocked to all passers by. I definitely oppose this project. There is plenty of land elsewhere for multi-family projects. My husband and myself also moved farther out into Cinco Southwest specifically for an environment of single family homes.

Xiangzheng Tao,
I am very concerned about our property values and our personal safety.

Michael A Gutierrez,
I am 100% opposed to any type of multi-family development. Like many other families I moved to Cinco SW because it was away from other apartments and was a true Cinco neighborhood. If this project is approved I WILL sell my home and move.

ROBERT SCHUCHERT,
I oppose this multi-family building project.

I feel Newland intentionally misrepresented this area.

Karla Foit,
We look forward to having commercial retail in the area, shopping, restaurants, but no apartments. There are plenty of apartments in Katy already in nice areas and with the large complex going up on 1093, this is not necessary.

Newland clearly committed fraud and will be sued if the apartment project moves forward

Caitlin Presto,
This is a laydown fraudalent inducement case and if Newland has any competent senior managers, they will stop the apartment idea immediately. The court system will laugh at Newland if they attempt to stretch the definition of "commercial development" to include multi-family residential. That is laughable. If you take 20% times all the property values in Cinco SW, that is a much bigger check for Newland to write than the .5 million they would receive from the sale of the property. It will save all parties time and money if Newland can perform simple arithmetic.

Dane Presto,
If Newland moves forward with an apartment complex, a class action lawsuit will ensue and fraud will be so easy to prove, as will damages as proven by actual real estate transactions before and after the apt complex. Newland's management has already dug a big hole by instructing the destruction of evidence, and trying to wiggle around and say multi-family residential fits within the definition of commercial. This is actually comical that Newland thinks they can get by with this obvious act of fraud. They will lose in court and wish they never tried to pull a fast one on the Cinco SW residents.

I am very much opposed to apartment complex's in Cinco SW. Had I known this I would have not purchased my home in this area.

This is ridiculous and reeks of greed rather than "master planning".

Anil C,
We took a home here because of the good neighborhood. Building Apt homes here would compromise the safety, increase traffic and reduce home values. Newland communities should build more restaurants, upscale retails stores as promised. We did not pay high premiums and taxes, just to have Apartments built next to our homes and see the price of homes falling down.

xxxxxxxx,
How sad for our entire area to have a multi family living so close. Our lake will be flooded with people and the value of my home will plummet. My son will already go to school in a portable building next year due to the overcrowding. I am just sick!

xxxxxxxx,
We purchased a home on the lake based on signage and development zoning as shown on maps in the show homes. These continue to this day showing the C5 tract as commercial / retail mix. This is mis-representatation.

xxxxxxxx,
I am opposed to the multi-family developement. We moved to Cinco because of the location and the quality of the area and this will only bring down and area and lower house prices.

Okay - so they just finished an apartment complex at the corner of 1093 and Katy-Gaston. NOW - they have broken ground and are starting ANOTHER apartment complex at the corner of 1093 and Cinco Terrace. HOW MANY MORE APARTMENT COMPLEXES DO WE NEED??
The interesting thing is that when we bought our house, we knew that the area at 1093/Cinco Terrace would be apartments because Newland's Land Plan that was in our builders office had that area designated as such. They also had another area on 1463 near Cinco Ranch Blvd designated the same. NOWHERE does it show that apartments would be built near Spring Lake, but to the contrary - it would be mixed-use retail/commercial. Of course, what type of mixed-use was going to be hard to determine even though high-end light traffic had been mentioned. There is no way that we would have chosen to purchase in this area only to see our property values plummet due to fraudulent misrepresentation by the developer of this fine community. The value of the Spring Lake area is too overwhelming of a draw to create a negative impact on it with the construction of an apartment complex.
There has to be some sort of recourse or way to prevent this from happening for the residents of the area. Please don't let this happen!

Vishwas and Sonali Kale,
We studied the maps provided by Newland prior to building our house here. This would be unethical business practice by Newland.

Buying a chic dress can not be in a rush, before making a decision, you should attempt on shoes carefull and fully feel them, to see whether they are too hard to wear or they are suitable for wearing. There isn't any deny that cloth are our intimate friends, since we must wear them every day, as a result it is essential for us to select an appropriate and fashion dress. However, many people are always focused on the outlook of rather than its comfort degree while shopping, which might become a painful thing.

Image that you are seeing a party, to make a deep impression on people; you purchase a brand new Outlet Karen Millen you ought to dress and a pair of high-heeled shoes. You need to do look beautiful in that, however, after standing a long time, your feet start to feel hurt and also you ca not enjoy the part any more. Then you definitely become aware of the significance of comfort level of shoes and regret having bought an inapposite pair of shoes.

I believe this is the most shining point of any girl. Regarding me, she is very beautiful and she includes a good taste for cloth. Whether she is in an evening dress to go to some activities or in casual dresses in the daily life, she could always inject us having a sense of energy and fresh air. I am very like the Karen Millen Dress big red color perfectly reflects her white skin, unique style of the flower on her behalf right shoulder reveals an attractive shoulder carve and the collarbone.
