Woodridge Village Development Update 2

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 31, 2019
Contact: Jessica Beemer (832) 393-3008 districte@houstontx.gov

Houston, TX – Houston City Council Member Dave Martin would like to make residents in the Kingwood community aware that conversations are occurring at the highest level of leadership within Perry Homes, regarding the future of Woodridge Village. The developer is looking to do something over and beyond what they have already committed to in their memo provided to the City of Houston on October 17. While Council Member Martin was visiting St. Martha’s Catholic School and Bear Branch Village, yesterday, October 30, Perry Homes was working on their Detention Pond 2, inspecting their existing silt fencing and installing new silt fencing as well as installing hay bales at their intake, and removing sediment from their outfall structure.

In response to these most recent actions taken by Perry Homes, Council Member Martin would like to reiterate what he stated at the Kingwood Town Hall meeting held on October 17. As a non-engineer, Council Member Martin believes that it is in the best interest of the Kingwood community that Perry Homes abandon the site and stop all development of Woodridge Village. Once abandoned, the Woodridge Village property would be used solely for the purposes of drainage detention. If abandonment is not an option for Perry Homes, Council Member Martin suggests that Perry Homes agree to sell the property at a discounted rate to interested agencies like the City of Houston and/or Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) to be used a detention facility. This detention facility would be used to protect downstream communities from the drainage of upstream development. 

HCFCD is currently near the middle of their Kingwood Drainage Study (F-14), which is a part of the 2018 Harris County Flood Control Bond. As part of the study, HCFCD is reviewing existing level of service of existing ditches and possible alternatives to accommodate 100-year flood events which may include an expansion of the Kingwood Diversion Ditch. HCFCD plans to host a Kingwood Drainage Study progress meeting this December. Once a date has been scheduled, the District E Office will provide that information to the community. 

To view the first Woodridge Village Update please visit our site here. For more information, please contact Council Member Martin’s office at (832) 393-3008 or via email at districte@houstontx.gov.

A Few Neighborhood Crime Prevention Tips

  • If you park your car outside your garage, LOCK your vehicle. A large percentage of automobile break-ins involve unsecured vehicles.
  • Never leave valuables inside of the vehicle where they can be seen in plain view.
  • Do Not Keep Garage Door Openers in a Car Parked Outside

If you park your car outside with a garage opener in the car, then you might want to consider placing your garage door opener inside. A thief can break into your car, and then use the garage door opener within your car, to easily gain access to your garage and possibly your house as well.  If you need to park outside but want to use the garage opener as a way to enter the house when you get home, then develop a habit of bringing the garage door opener inside with you.  Over time, it will become as habitual as always grabbing your keys and your purse/wallet, and this will go a long way in preventing serious break-ins. Also it is recommended that you lock the door between your home and garage each evening or when you are gone.

  • Illuminate your yards and entranceways.  
  • Never open your home to anyone that you do not know.
  • Keep your doors locked whether you are at home or away.
  • Keep your garage door closed, even when at home or in the backyard.
  • Be observant of repair men, construction workers, or service workers. If their behavior or location seems out of the ordinary, notify the police on their main number.  This is NOT a 911 call.
  • Make use of timers. Just because you aren’t home doesn’t mean that you should keep all the lights off at all times. Set a timer and have the lights go on and off at specific times so that it looks like your home.
  • Get to know your immediate neighbors. Be familiar with what type of vehicles they drive, whether they have out of town guests, when will they be out of town, or if they will be having hired services performed at their homes. This can be one of the best ways to deter crime.
