Price Reality (the developers?) have been in touch with our HOA. Our concerns are specific. Drainage from Acacia Cliffs has impacted our community for years. We have not had any response from the owners. Individuals on the Acacia Cliffs side have continuously removed pickets from the fencing to gain access (walk through) to Wood Hollow, at the east side of our property. Impact of demolition and construction to value of the Edgecliff NW homes facing Acacia Cliffs. Assuming that the project will take a significant amount of time to complete, these homeowners will have to deal with noise, dust and pollution. The construction period will hinder their ability to sell their property. What is the appropriate mechanism to register our concerns and assure the Edgecliff NW HOA community that this project will not adversely affect their homes?
