Monthly HOA Board Meeting:   The September 2, 2026 monthly HOA Board meeting has been canceled.  The next meeting will be Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at the Lake Pavilion starting 7:30 pm.  

Dam Maintenance:  We want to extend a special thanks to our Dam Committee for their planning and completing needed work on the dam.  Two projects have recently been completed that you can read about in the maintenance update below and see pictures in the Gallery.  

Anderson County has a burn ban in effect beginning August 18, 2026 for 90 days.

Frankston Square Fair:  Mark your calendar for the annual Square Fair in Frankston in the historic downtown center on Saturday, October 3rd.   This will be a fun filled day beginning with a parade at 10 a.m.  There will be music, good food, and artisan booths.   

Maintenance of HOA Assets:   

Upcoming Work:  The remaining dam project will be to locate, and as needed, repair the dam toe-drain on the north side.  This project is weather dependent and will look for opportunity in 2026 to begin the work.

Recently Completed Work:  

• A welder repaired the lake bottom valve's crank shaft.  He was able to drain the lake overflow chamber, inspect the existing valve, and weld the crank shaft back onto the head of the valve.  The bottom 18" of the shaft had been corroded, so the welder removed this damaged section before welding it back to the valve.  The HOA Board budgeted for $1000 for this project.  The total cost of this project was $2000 and equally shared with Lutz Properties LLC.  

• An excavator delivered and spread 10 truck loads of red fill dirt on the dam to address erosion, and included seeding and fertilizing.  The excavator watered the seed for two weeks through August 21st.   The excavator confirmed that we have a very good dam, and that the erosion is caused by mother nature, burrowing animals, and wild hogs.   The HOA board budgeted up to $6,000 for this project and paid $5925.  The total cost of the project was$11,850 and equally shared with Lutz Properties, LLC.  

• The Lake Committee purchased two fish feeders, and have mounted one each on our commons area docks.  You can see a picture of them in the Gallery.

• New fan blades have been purchased and installed for the pavilion in 2026.    

• A replacement battery and extra pads have been purchased for the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) located in the Pavilion in April of 2026.  

• A tree along the chain-link fence line near the lake water's edge has been removed based on a recommendation from a recent TCEQ dam inspection.  

Past Completed Work:

• The Petro family were kind to donate a new electrical box and wiring for the Lake Pavilion in 2024.  Ken also provided the labor to install the box, update wiring, and added additional electrical outlets.    The Pavilion's electrical service is now up-to-date with current standards & regulations.  

• The chain link fence's poles and rails have been straightened and aligned in March of 2024.  It is not perfect but is an improvement.  This was a DIY project with a budget of $300 and actual costs of $291.  

• The repair of the pavilion parking lot erosion started in April of 2025.  This has been a combination of DIY preparatory work and a contracted excavator to deliver, spread and compact aggregate.  We wish to thank Larry Brant and JW Howard for donating aggregate material and for Jim Hallman transporting and spreading the volunteered material.   After looking at several bids, we selected Hometown Construction to deliver additional aggregate, and spread and compact the material.   We then completed the work with another DIY team that trenched a line from the fence to the lake and buried a culvert pipe.  Special thanks to Jeff Glenn and Layne Wells for their expert use of their tract-hoe and tractor, as well as Dave Eubank, Gerard Pearson and Mark Miller working on the ground.  You can see more in the gallery.  This project had an original  projected budget of $3,000 to fill in the parking lot rut as a DIY project, and actual will be just under $6,000.  The actual cost reflects increased material & labor cost over last year, and the addition of running a culvert pipe from the fence line to the lake.  

• The double gated entrance to the lake has  been built up with red clay and iron ore so this is easier to navigate this space in 2025.  Special thanks to Layne Wells who continues to  work on the culvert and gated entrance  by volunteering his time and resources! 

We will continue to provide updates on the HOA maintenance schedule at our monthly Board Meetings.  You can also read about it in the Meeting Minutes, Treasurer's Report, and keep track of scheduled volunteer work groups on our Calendar.   As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to any Board Officer with your comments, suggestions, or questions.
