SRMA board votes to extend Steiner office hours

By LYNETTE HAALAND, Four Points News

Although the Steiner Ranch Master Association Board of Directors voted to extend the business hours of the Steiner HOA office at the board’s Nov. 28 meeting, the board was split and no action was taken on two important topics: voting in another director for Steiner District 4 and on next steps to consider third party management.

The HOA board is divided and in a deadlock on several initiatives. In general, Naren Chilukuri, Amy Colton and Rekha Garapati are advocating for changes in the HOA management structure and exploring ideas of third party management which they say could lead to cost savings and efficiencies, and Robby Roberts, Dave Doman and Erika Fletcher had been advocating to slow down the process to consider outside management, to gather more information about a potential shift, and to review and refine the current structure.

Growing up in the rural countryside of England, River Place resident Jonathan Tommey said he loved playing among the trees, an activity that spurred his interest to begin woodworking at age 12.

Now, the father of three intends to make a profession out of his artistic passion, launching Live Edge Furniture Design in March of this year.

“(The business) started with a tree stump and has evolved from there,” Tommey said of the first piece he dug out of his Four Points property to form a table base he constructed. “I thought this (stump) would make a very interesting base for a side or coffee table. It was just sitting there, decaying. I thought, ‘Let’s give this a new life’ because it had beautiful structure and a lot of intricate details with the grain pattern (and) the root system.”
