Great Time at National Night Out in CCHTL Park

Pre-Party Prepped

2016 NNO Party in Park Success

The first Tuesday in August is when our United States celebrates National Night Out which is an organized encouragement for people to get out of their homes and meet their neighbors, their local police, firemen, and other local leaders.  

The Country Club Hills/Twin Lakes Neighborhood Asssociation again celebrated a wonderful National Night Out with over 100 families coming together in the Valley Way park and many others out and about throughout the neighborhood.

Berkshire Hathaway HS Pro Realtors - Proud Sponsors

For the fourth year in a row, the agents of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Professional Realty who live in the neighborhood, provided burgers and hot dogs at the Valley Way park for all comers (except for one who came just a little late and everything was gone).  Craig Kohli from Barnsbury, Bob Birkemeier from Kingswood, and Tim Parker from Valley Way donated the burgers, dogs, and fixins and cooked them!  The CCHTL Neighborhood Association provided the veggie and fruit plates and CUPCAKES (awesome) and the one-and-only Doug Adams sang for us and bribed everyone with ice-pops to sit and listen.

Everything was nice, the pace of visitors, Doug's music, the Bath Fire Department and their interactions with the kids, the weather....it was a very nice evening.

New BHHSPro Realtors Introduced

Tim, Craig, and Bob were proud to introduce to everyone their newest Berkshire Hathaway Realtors.  Deb Walters and Justin Irons were both at the Valley Way park party and, although nervous, were welcomed to the company by all of the Country Club Hills / Twin Lakes neighbors.  

New Construction in CCHTL in 2016 - Corrected

Bath Township Board of Zoning Appeals is a group that reviews applications for zoning variances in Bath Township.  Their decisions are not heard or confirmed by our elected Trustees.

It was just approved by the Bath Board of Zoning Appeals to allow the construction of a new commercial building at the entrance to Country Club Hills/Twin Lakes on State Route 309.  Plans include a tri-plex retail business building and electronic signage that will replace the small office building currently occupied by Acheson Realty.

Proponents of the planned new building cited the need for an entrance to the property via Devonshire Drive in order to eliminate the dangerous left turn from 309 into the property.  With only the slightest of majority votes by this board, this was approved.

Detractors to this proposed improvement pointed to the Covenants and Restrictions in place for the neighborhood, the potential for increased traffic on the already busy Devonshire Drive, and the added dangers associated with electronic signage at an already dangerous intersection.  All concerns were considered according to a second-hand account of the hearing held by the Bath Board of Zoning Appeals.  It was made clear that this property and the proposed larger building are an improvement for the area and concerns otherwise should be tempered.

Whether you are for or against this happening in our neighborhood doesn't matter....it will happen, and could be so as early as Spring 2016.
