No ingress or egress for emergency vehicles or for safe evacuation. The City has confirmed that Timberline Drive during a flood will have 2.5-3.5 feet of water on the road which is a huge safety issue and an unacceptable condition for a new development. Safety should always be over profits.

NO SAFE ENTRY and NO SAFE EXIT

Safety First - Timberline Dr. will be 3ft underwater

Have we learned nothing from recent floods

Dust Pollution has been intolerable for over 2 years from the 30k yards of untested fill dirt dumped into the floodplain. We need action! Call the City, take pictures, and send complaints to the TCEQ.

200+ yards of illegally dumped fill dirt prior to land ownership and most importantly prior to the CLOMR from FEMA. Even after many complaints from adjacent neighbors the Benbrook City never issued a citation or made the builder move the illegally dumped dirt.

This is a video of the Dust Cloud entering the neighborhood September 2025. This occurs frequently as the builder frequently uses a dry sweeper to remove all of the untested fill dirt from the roads. All of the dirt/dust is pushed into the adjacent neighborhood.
