I received this neighborhood letter from the Briarbrook Community Improvement District (BCID).  It's full of great information about the latest happenings at the Briarbrook Clubhouse and the Golf Course Tournament Schedule for 2012! Dear Briarbrook Friends, Amazing is the word many of you have said when discussing 2011 here at Briarbrook. Just one year ago, the Briarbrook Community Improvement District (BCID) took possession of the facility and now we have a restaurant & bar, remodeled swimming pool, remodeled clubhouse, and a wonderful golf course. 2012 is going to be very exciting for the community. Café on the Green is very excited to be the restaurant of the BCID and for the upcoming golf season. Their staff has enjoyed getting to know all of you. The workout room is now under const...

WOW!!  This is one gorgeous home.   Who wouldn't want to live in this 4 Bedroom home that also has and office and bonus room? Gorgeous wood floors in the kitchen and dining room are complemented by the beautiful cabinetry. This one is definitely move in ready and has lots of closet space to boot. Living in this neighborhood is also a delight.  Briarbrook features a golf course, tennis court, pool and walking trails. Neighbors are seen every evening and morning biking and running. Give me a call, I would love to show you this home.    To tour 104 Springhill click here

We had a great turnout for the Planning and Zoning meeting last night. I wish we saw even a fraction of this sort of turnout for everything that impacts the city. Unfortunately we just didn't have enough room for every one that wanted to be in the meeting so it was decided that we wouldn't take any action on the proposed rezoning last night but would see if we could make arrangements to hold a meeting at the school auditorium so everyone that's interested can hear and be heard. I did want to take a moment to give the preface to the public hearing that I was going to give last night and will give again before we conduct the public hearing at the next meeting. Currently the property in question is zoned C-2 which means that the owner, without input or permission from anyone else, can buil...

I had in a Council meeting a couple of months ago, outlined the fall in the real estate market in Briarbrook over the last several years, espcially in new construction. I decided to go back and have a look to see what ground, if any, we've made up since the CID was approved and what I found was this. New Construction - Not much to create a judgement on here yet. While the 1st permit for new construction wasn't issued last year for Briarbrook until June there have been 2 new ones this year already. The first was in January and the second was in March so not a lot there to build a trend on. Existing Sales - Here we can see something. For the two year period between 3/1/2008 and 3/1/2010 80 homes sold in Briarbrook or 3.3 homes per month. Since 3/1/2010 there have been 20 homes sold for an...

Man am I glad that this week's City Council meeting in Carl Junction is over. This whole CID thing has gone way beyond the bizarre. I couldn't believe what I was hearing tonight when a citizen got up and compared the City Council's consideration of the CID ordinance to what is happening in Washington with the Democrats pushing a healthcare bill through that a majority of the people don't want. The fact of the matter is that this is exactly what the opposition has been doing. Consider for a moment if you will. The vote on a bond to purchase the Briarbrook property last April was just that, a vote to authorize the City to borrow money so it could purchase the property. It was at no time listed or advertised as a vote on Briarbrook itself. However since the opposition has wanted to use it ...
