HOA Meeting Next Tuesday

Our next HOA meeting is next Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. The address and map for the location is below.

Among topics, the board will discuss the coming development in the currently empty tract of land that sits between Dartmouth Hill Rd. and US-301. A developer has contracted to buy the land and has contacted the board. When development begins, it will impact the entrances to the community. How, the board does not yet know.

Even if you can't make meetings, you can offer feedback or help by emailing the board at board@stcharlesplace.us.

Commercial Development Coming

The parcel of land in front of our community, sandwiched between US-301 and Dartmouth Hill Road, is under contract to a developer. A representative of the Barclay Group has asked to meet with the HOA board "to discuss how we can work together to ensure the harmony and success of the development," he wrote in an email.

The board is not yet sure what that means. It is trying to learn what the community's rights are based on the property lines and previous plans for the parcel filed with Hillsborough County. It is zoned commercial, and original plans included a bank and a gas station, but a developer could put any kind of commercial business in the space.

To be clear: The HOA cannot stop the development from happening. But we might have some leverage in how it impacts our community. This will certainly top the agenda at the HOA's next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, March 27.

If you own a unit in the community and have thoughts to share, bring them to the meeting.
