1. How Do I Obtain A Pool Access Card?

2. What is the Panther Creek Estates PID?
The Panther Creek Estates Public Improvement District (PID) was established by the City of Frisco in response to a proposal by developer Intermandeco to expedite the building of two city parks, Bob White and Mourning Dove and enhance the entrances and green spaces in our neighborhood. The initial funds for this project were financed through the city bond process. Each home was assessed $2500 to be paid at closing or over 20 years billed in installments annually directly by the city of Frisco. The Maintenance and Operation of these PID areas (with the exception of the city parks) was then turned over to the Panther Creek Estates Homeowners Association through a 20-year lease with the City of Frisco and fees were set in combination with the HOA assessments to be collected semi-annually. Originally these funds were billed separately (PID); however after meeting with the city, the board of directors was able to consolidate this process thereby saving the HOA in printing, postage and accounting. The HOA board is in ongoing negotiations with the City of Frisco to assess the viability of the PID. For specific details on the formation and operation of the Panther Creek Estates Public Improvement District see the documents on our documents page.
3. How much are HOA dues?

5. When will Preston Road and the intersection of Eldorado in particular, be expanded? What is the status of other roads around the neighborhood?
Per an October 2009 update from the city, utilities are currently being relocated and construction began in August 2009. Preston is expected to be completed in late 2011. The City has also started construction on Eldorado from the DNT to Preston. That construction is expected to be completed in early 2011. Eldorado from Preston to Independance are expected to start planning in 2010 or 2011 with construction planned to start in 2011 depending on the availability of bond funds from the county. Coit from Main to Eldorado will start planning in February/March of 2010 with construction expected to start within 9-12 months. There will be some work done to level any wheel ruts and the road will be resurfaced with a new layer of chip seal as a temporary solution to the road condition until construction is complete.
6. Does the Board know anything about the planned retail spaces in the neighborhood?
The NE corner of Eldorado and Hillcrest will have a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Stake Center. Construction started in September 2009 and is expected to take about a year to complete.
The board met with a developer for the NW corner of Eldorado & Coit in 2007. The property between the ATT building and the water tower is zoned for a mini-storage facitility. The NW Corner of Eldorado and Coit is zoned retail/office. A permit was approved for a day care on that corner as well. At this time we have no estimate for when anything will being construction on that corner.
7. Does Panther Creek Estates have a community message board on the website, if not why?
We do not currently have a community message board. There are several reasons for this. First community message boards must be constantly monitored for content to ensure no “offending” posts are created. Second, there is a potential for liability against the Homeowners association should “offending” content be placed on a community message board, even if it is subsequently taken down. At this time the board feels these reasons outweigh the potential positives of such a site. We do encourage homeowner questions and feedback by asking that you email the board, or one of the committees with questions. If we see questions everyone is interested in we will post them in this FAQ section.
8. A street light is out or flickers on and off. How do I get it repaired?
Report the problem to the City of Frisco 972-335-5520, supply the address and electric provider (CoServ) for your neighborhood and we will notify the correct company for repairs. The majority of street lights in Frisco are owned and maintained by either CoServ Electric or TXU Electric Delivery.
9. What are the plans for the Lighted Athletic Field in the Northeast section of our community?
The field at Tyler & Honey Grove is owned by the City of Frisco and will be a large “Community Park” similar to Warren Park on Eldorado West of Preston. It will have soccer and ball fields, tracks, bb courts, parking and lots of green space. There will be several city meetings when they are ready to build to illicit homeowner input for the design stage. According to Parks & Rec it will not be built for several years. Visit http://www.ci.frisco.tx.us/departments/Parks_Recreation/index.aspx?id=334 for updates.
10. Who do I contact about maintenance issues in the city parks?
Mourning Dove, Bob White Park and Hummingbird Park behind SEM are maintained by the City of Frisco.
Note: The city is also responsible for maintaining the empty space across the street to the East of SEM. This will eventually be a lighted athletic park similar to Warren Sports Complex; however it will not be developed for several years.
11. What is the status of the empty lots in our neighborhood. Updated04/22/2009
The majority of the empty lots are owned by various builders and the developer. Given the current conditions of the housing market some of the builders have either scaled back or stopped building new homes for the time being. Some lots, previously owned by Beuscher Homes have gone into foreclosure and are now in possession of various lenders. The board monitors the status of all empty lots to ensure the current owner (be it builder, developer, or lender) to ensure they are maintained. We have procedures in place to maintain them if the owners fail to. During the high growth season the grass or weeds may be taller than we would like at times, but we will ensure they get taken care of as quickly as possible.
At this time we expect the vacant lots will be fully built out, but do not have an expected time frame given the status of the housing market.
12. How do I obtain Closing Documents and a Statement of Resale. If you are selling your home and the Closing/Title company is trying to obtain a statement of account and resale certificate they need to contact the Real Manage, our property management company. Per Real Manage
“All requests for closing documents, including Statements of Account, Resale Certificates, and Condo Questionnaires, must be made through the Closing Portal at www.realmanage.com/closingportal. Our standard turnaround time is three business days (can be ordered on rush for a fee).”
