Let's Beautify for Fall.
It takes a community to protect home values. As summer winds down, some residents have expressed concern about homeowners who have let their properties decline in appearance or maintenance. We encourage everyone in the neighborhood to spruce up your yard and take care of maintenance on your home's exterior before cold weather sets in. Please store toys and trash cans too.
Old Temple Road Update
Williamson County is moving forward with plans to widen Old Temple Road, according to Stan Tyson, County Roads Commissioner. The county reached an impasse with individuals challenging their plan and moved the proposed widening project north to avoid the 2 parcels in question. Tyson says road crews will begin restaking, moving utilities and installing drift fences in August. The road work will ultimately increase the pavement width to 20 feet with curbs and bicycle-friendly under drains.
Drainage Update
On this, the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the Temple Hills drainage program and after the completion of over 60 individual projects, Brad Hoot, chairman of the Drainage Committee, has re-assigned himself from worker bee to advisor and reviewer.
He will continue to handle regional drainage problems and maintenance (main creeks and ditches serving large areas of the subdivision) but for local problems (yard drainage involving only 1 to 3 lots), homeowners should develop a plan and submit it to Brad for approval to insure that no one is adversely affected. Remember to coordinate with your neighbors and check utilities. Drainage problems of the local variety will be treated similar to ARC matters.
Please don't do any grading or drainage work without approval. You could be creating a problem for someone else.
Monthly Rainfall: May 5.92" June 2.67" July 5.50"
Please Watch Your Speed
We continue to have reports of speeding on our neighborhood streets, especially going down hills on St. Andrews and on Temple Road and Baltusrol. Is speeding in Temple Hills a concern to you? Log in and take our survey on speeding concerns. And please drively safely.
Signs at Front Entrances
According to county officials, the entrances to Temple Hills and THW are both county right-of-ways and no signs are allowed. For now, a limited number of open house or garage sale signs can be placed at the end of the first median on Temple Road on weekends only. Please avoid the landscaped areas which are full of utility lines.
Please Limit Parking on Streets
We continue to have safety issues with residents and visitors parking on our streets for extended periods of time. This is particularly a problem on narrow streets where an emergency vehicle could be blocked from entering. Please park in the driveway whenever possible.

Caution, Joggers and Walkers
Please use extra caution when running or walking on Temple Road and be sure to face traffic so you can see on-coming cars. Also stay close to the curbs on the sides of the road, not the curbs of the median areas.
