06/06/19 - The electrical inspection passed yesterday which was a big step in the right direction. We are now waiting on the 4' fence between the building and pool to be fabricated and installed. The contractor thinks the fence can be installed by middle of next week. Once installed, we can schedule the health inspection. We are really hoping the health inspector will be able to come out towards the end of next week and pass the pool so we can open by the weekend. It really is a day to day situation though so please be patient with us as we go through these last final motions. We will continue to provide updates as things move ahead next week.
When the fence installer comes out next week, they will also remove the temporary tennis access gate (closest to the parking lot) and repair the chain link fence. Once done, the electronic access system will be activated. By the end of next week everyone will be required to use an electronic access card at the gate closest to the building in order to enter the tennis courts.
If you have not received your access cards, they will be issued again to BPOA residents this Sunday, June 9th between 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the Briarhills Community Center. Please bring your drivers license or utility bill to show proof of residency.
We are getting really close and hope to have a positive update to send to all of you next week. Thank you for your patience.
05/25/19 - After spending the last two days at the City of Houston, the outcome of the meetings is that 1) we've had to apply for a separate pool remodeling permit which we now have, 2) all pool electrical work will be fast tracked and inspected next week and 3) the Health Department has required additional 4' tall fencing to be added between the building entry points and the pool. Our builder has advised that the fencing will take about 2 weeks to be fabricated and installed. After installation, the health inspector will then inspect and hopefully give us the green light to open the pool. We are anticipating a June 15th opening date but please know that is subject to change if there are any issues with the above plans. We will keep the community updated as we get closer to this date. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
05/20/19 - We have encountered delays related to City of Houston permitting and regret to inform you that we will not be able to open the Briarhills pool this Memorial Day weekend. The City of Houston has not given us our occupancy permit and has requested additional permits for the pool that were previously unknown. We have a meeting scheduled with the key city inspectors to clarify the next steps needed in order to open the pool. As soon as we have a better understanding of their requests and the time involved, we will update this post. It is our hope that we will only be delayed a week or two but we will not know for sure until after our meeting with the city.

Storm Sewer Excavation
Posted on May 28th, 2019
As you may have seen at the east end of the Briarhills park, the City has begun making preparations to replace a collapsed 84" storm sewer outfall pipe into the bayou. The trench could be up to 25' deep in places, so a very substantial excavation. It will be done in 2 parts so that the park trail will not be closed, just like the procedure for the previous replacement farther west, near the office building. Below is additional information from Harris County Flood Control:
A contractor for the City of Houston is starting a pipe replacement project near 14218 Briarhills Parkway (see map) on Flood Control property, but this is not a Flood Control project. The City of Houston contractor will be installing 84 inch diameter pipe as it runs from a manhole into Buffalo Bayou. The project should take 4 weeks to complete (weather permitting).
Large mechanized equipment will be utilized for this effort and some trees and soil will be disturbed in the process. Please keep children away from the fenced construction area and large machinery.
If residents in the area have questions, please feel free to contact the city of Houston Project Manager – Mr. Chuck Ueker.

Increased Traffic in Briarhills
Posted on Dec 6th, 2018
You may have noticed that traffic in our neighborhood has increased during the morning and afternoon rush hour. This has been due to road construction and lane closures at the intersection of Memorial and Eldridge. The POA has requested for the Constables to increase their patrol in our neighborhood during peak commute times to ensure everyone’s continued safety. Hopefully with more visible presence from the Constables , speeding motorists and vehicles blocking intersections will subside. We are also asking our residents to please exhibit patience and understanding when driving through the neighborhood for the next few weeks. Be courteous, do not block intersections and allow for a few extra moments to get in and out of the neighborhood during rush hour. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. |
