BELLA VISTA

BOARD REPORTThe Board met in March and April and minutes for all

meetings are posted to the Bella Vista website after Board approval the following month.

Annexation – As a result of the annexation, all of the real estate in Bella Vista and Twin Creeks will be rezoned from Development Reserve (DR) to Single Family Residential (SF-2). To complete the process, re-zoning notices for 5 different tracts of land will be mailed to all property owners and posted in the local newspapers. You are not required to take any action or attend any meetings. This zoning designation change will not impact our insurance or taxes. Please contact any of the Board if you have any questions.

City Services – You can easily report issues to the City on their website (http://www.cedarparktexas.gov/index.aspx?page=41) and the list of issues includes abandon vehicles, animal problems, noise, litter, potholes, etc.

Convenience Store - As you may have noticed, clearing of the lot next to the storage for construction of a convenience store and gas station. As previously reported the business will not be open 24x7 and new turning lanes will be installed along Anderson Mill and Dies Ranch so traffic will not be

impeded. We are checking with LISD to confirm when bus service will be discontinued for the middle school and high school students in Bella Vista.

Landscaping – The Board approved additional landscape improvements along the perimeter fence on Dies Ranch Road to replace various plants lost in the drought. We are also looking at landscape improvements within the pool area and we hope you enjoy the new colorful plantings.

Recreation – Please mark your calendars with the 2015 events which are listed in this issue.

Annual Meeting – The date is set for June 3 and more information will be provided via email and regular mail. If you want to avoid missing any information, please register your email on the Bella Vista HOA website: http://www.bellavista-hoa.com/bellavista/home.asp. Please consider volunteering to serve on the Board or a committee and have a voice in your community.

The next Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 18 (6 pm) at the RealManage office, 9601 Amberglen Blvd, Suite 150, Bldg G, Austin TX 78729 (next to Lifetime Fitness on RR 620 service road).

How to drive in a single lane

roundabout

1. As you approach a roundabout, reduce your speed, check for signage, watch for pedestrians and be prepared to stop.

2. Yield the right-of-way to vehicles already in the roundabout which will be approaching immediately from the left. The vehicles already in the roundabout have the right-of-way, so you may have to stop.

3. When there is a sufficient opening in the traffic, enter into the roundabout to your right, and drive counter clockwise.

4. Once you are in the roundabout, follow the steady flow of traffic. You cannot pass another vehicle or stop in the roundabout unless it is necessary to avoid an accident. If you miss your exit, you can do an extra trip around the traffic circle in order to get another opportunity to exit the intersection.

5. Always use your signal light as you leave the roundabout, check for pedestrians at the crosswalks and be prepared to stop.

This series of Tennis Tips are focused on how to involve children of all ages to learn to play tennis and offer tips to the parents on how to help at home. In the last issue I offered advice for children 8 years old and under. This issue, will address children 9 and 10 years old and under playing with the orange low bouncing ball.

Caption 1: Tennis Racket and balls: The children should be using rackets ranging in length from 23” to 25” long and the orange ball. These short, lighter rackets and lower-bouncing balls will make it easier for the child to control the swing and the point of contact. The racket to use will depend on the height of the child and the age. Balls will bounce from 41” to 47”, which is within the comfort zone for most children of that age.

Caption 2: Tennis Court: Most tennis facilities have added lines to measure 60’ x 21’ for singles and 60’x 27’ for doubles within the confines of a regular tennis court. If lines have been added, they will be painted with a darker color than the tennis court. If lines are not painted, Clubs will use rope and/or starter tennis court lines on the courts.

Caption 3: Join a Group: Tennis, like other sports, is learned better in a group. Children like to imitate other children and learn from their

successful hits and also avoid their missed shots. I believe in allowing them to “shadow” the person executing the shot, so they become used to the swing and timing of the point of contact.

Children at this age are already “rallying back and forth” and are given tips on how to hit volleys (ball hit on the fly), and also serve underhand or overhead. The USTA provides tournaments and leagues for children 10 and under using the orange ball and 60’ courts. They normally play 4 game sets and are encouraged to play round robins and/or consolation rounds.Tips to parents:• Have child tap the orange ball up and down on the ground in a

safe area, like a garage.• Do the same with ball being hit on the fly without bouncing.• Encourage them to hit in a safe area with them dropping the ball and

hitting it against a wall or a garage door. Always be there to supervise.Look in the next Newsletter for: “Tips for children 9-10 years old – Green Ball”. For more information about our programs and club information, you can visit us at www.greyrocktennis.com or call us at 512-301-8685.
