The board has been working with the City of Longview Streets Department for the last 18 months regarding the status of Fairway Oaks Lane and the chip/seal which has not performed as expected. It was to have already been resurfaced; however, with a retirement of an individual at the city some projects did not get transferred forward. The Head of the streets department and his assistant drove our neighborhood last week and agree that Fairway Oaks Lane needs to be resurfaced. In addition, they identified an area in the street that needs to be dug out and repaired and that will be done soon. Resurfacing Fairway Oaks Lane will occur next summer when the resurface contract is done.
Recycle bins should be placed at the street on Thursday. Trash is placed on Wednesday. Effective 10/19/26-recycle bins placed out and filled with trash will result in the bins being removed by the city and the bin not returned to the residence. You may rent additional trash bins from the city.

Neighbors
We as a Board are as concerned about the increase in break-ins and damage to our neighborhood as you are. As mentioned in the letter sent earlier this year, we had the police canvas our neighborhood at night. Their suggestions were to park cars in the driveway, not in the street, add motion, detector, lights, and cameras and continue with the addition of street lights to unlit streets which we are continuing to do as a budget allows (have Riviera Dr., Olympic, and Doral to complete), and be aware and report suspicious activity.
That being said, we continue to be a target neighborhood. Many have asked why we don’t gate our community. The board has pursued this option and it is not financially a possibility. We would have to have all streets and sewer evaluated by engineers/appraisers/
hire someone to manage this process with the city, buyback all of our streets and sewer at the appraised value, pay for gates, and then 100% maintain all streets and sewers in the future. To even start this process, we have to have 100% agreement among our residents in the community by city regulations. As said, gating is not a possibility.
The Board is in the process of evaluating a design for our front entrance and pursuing adding additional lighting at both entrances, cameras, along with fencing from the existing fence to new pillars to eliminate concern of foot traffic at night. Once we finalize the design and obtain bids, we will post on the webpage.
If we are unable to fund this process currently, a decision may have to be made to increase homeowners dues or a one time assessment as we’ve been working on fundraising for the front sign for two years and we are at a critical point for safety.
If you have not paid your homeowners dues, please do so to assist with this project. Thanks,
The Board of FOHOA

Past news
2024-Maintenance of common areas
- The Board received 3 bids to provide maintenance for the next year. We chose Turfscapes who did our front entrance landscaping last year. He has extended our plant warranty. This was a large investment and we want the plants cared for correctly.
- Unsuccessful attempts were made last year to repair our sprinkler along the fence line of Hawkins without success. 2 bids were obtained to replace the sprinklers along fence line on Hawkins and repair the sprinkler on the both sides of Fairways Oaks Drive as you enter the neighborhood. Turfscapes was chosen for this project and work began this week.
