WELCOME

WELCOME FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

hether you are new to the area or have been here for many years, we hope you will find this guide helpful in learning about the community of Bulverde-Spring Branch. I have lived here for 16 years and continue to get excited about all that is happening here. The fact this area has two names says a lot -- Bulverde and Spring Branch. The people hold onto their individual identities and traditions while coming together to build a strong, vibrant future. These are truly exciting times for this community and your Chamber. I am so proud to be a part of this chamber as we move into an exhilarating new era of growth for the area. With growth comes change and your Chamber is the place to keep abreast of all that is happening in the community. Whether that growth is in the downtown Bulverde area, the Faithville Park area, the Singing Hills area, elsewhere along the highway 281 or 46 corridors, or in a multitude of other growing areas, we can help you get connected. The value of your participation in the Chamber resonates everywhere. I urge you to take advantage of all the many events that are available to you -- from the Chamber Rodeo, to the Annual Awards Banquet, to Market Days, to the Leadership Class and Leadercast. One of the first things I did as a new chamber member several years ago was to take advantage of the Leadership Class. I was awakened to a new passion for the community through visits to the city, county, and even state offices that support our neighborhoods. I found the Leadership Class to be the best way to learn about the area and how all the community partners contribute to bettering the resources that are needed for managed development and growth. Having lived in the beautiful hill country for more than 10 years at the time, I thought I knew all there was to know about the area -- but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more wrong. Through the Leadership Class I established connections to many resources new to me and formed close friendships that have blossomed through several years now. I hope you will join me in championing the Chamber to newcomers and locals alike. Bulverde and Spring Branch are like no other. Our uniqueness draws people to this area. Help us keep the uniqueness that makes this area so special and beautiful. Mike Johnson, San Antonio Print Supplies Chair of the Board, Bulverde Spring Branch Chamber of Commerce

WELCOME FROM BULVERDE

ulverde is fortunate in so many ways. The beauty of the Hill Country is like a magnet pulling in good people and providing so many opportunities for businesses. When things are good, one needs to capitalize on the opportunity. The city has set high standards for new development and it has definitely paid off. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like a competition; each new development tries to outdo the previous. The later however does not just sit back and take it. They find creative ways to stay neck and neck when it comes to attracting customers. Come see what all the buzz is about in Bulverde. Explore our ever growing list of merchants and businesses. We truly have become a one stop shopping destination with a relaxing atmosphere. Bill Krawietz Bulverde Mayor

WELCOME FROM SPRING BRANCH

pring Branch was first settled in 1848 by hard working German families. Many of those same families still call Spring Branch home 165 years later. Preserving our community, respecting our heritage and controlling our destiny were the primary objectives in our decision to propose incorporation. With the support of our residents by popular vote, Spring Branch officially became a Type C municipality on November 3, 2015. I was afforded both the honor of becoming the first Mayor and the privilege of working with 3 dedicated public servants. Commissioners Brad Hockman and Rob Cortez, and volunteer City Secretary JoAnna Langston has all accepted the responsibilities and challenges associated with putting our new town together. We have watched our area grow dramatically over the years bringing unexpected opportunities. With guidance from our residents and business owners, our City Commission will do its best to ensure that Spring Branch continues to be a place we are all proud to call home. James Mayer Spring Branch Mayor

WELCOME

THE CITY OF BULVERDE

WESLEA MILLER

TEXAS We’re proud to say our City is unique in many ways. Our uncharacteristic city limits stretch into the surrounding hills and define us as the “Front Porch of the Texas Hill Country.”

ith approximately 73 square miles in scope, the City of Bulverde’s heart consists of approximately 16 square miles (and growing!). Located primarily along SH 46, US 281, FM 1863 and an Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) buffer that extends one mile beyond the City Limit Line in all directions, it’s a unique configuration with an equally unique story of origin. For example, here’s a little known fact. Not everyone that lives in the 78163 USPS “Bulverde” Zip Code is actually located within the Bulverde City Limits, and many residents and businesses with a 78070 USPS Zip code, which is associated with the Spring Branch Post Office, are sometimes surprised to learn they are actually located within the Bulverde City Limits, not Spring Branch. In addition, western Comal County has experienced several decades of rapid growth, leading to the creation of more than 16 separate local government jurisdictions and agencies dedicated to providing public services to residents. Of those 16 jurisdictions, the City of

6 I

Bulverde is the only chartered home rule municipality in western Comal County. This charter allows our citizens to have an active voice in the determination of local government policies and affairs. The City of Bulverde provides critical public services to residents and visitors of our area. Among these services are a visitors & conference center, police protection, planning and land-use zoning, public works, and parks and recreation. Bulverde Visitors & Conference Center: Marking a significant growth milestone for the City is the Bulverde Visitors & Conference Center. Adjacent to the new Hampton Inn by Hilton at Singing Hills, the Center contains 5,300 square feet of meeting, office and pre-function space. These two facilities are wellpositioned to meet the growing need for premium hotel and meeting space accommodations north of San Antonio. Police Protection: Communityoriented policing is one of the key goals of the Bulverde Police Department. The department has 15 sworn officers serving the growing

B U LV E R D E / S P R I N G B R A N C H A R E A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E

b ulve rd e s p ri ng b ranchcham b e r.co m

community’s public safety needs. Planning and Land Use Standards: The City of Bulverde is the main driver of regional planning efforts in western Comal County. The City has adopted a regional Master Transportation Plan, an economic development plan for the Downtown Bulverde area, is honing in on critical mitigation measures to improve storm water management for the region, and also evaluating appropriate land uses designations across the City limits. These measures will provide the community input and appropriate regulatory authority to help manage and guide the inevitable growth that will likely occur in the region over the next several decades. Public Works: Roads, and Transportation: The City maintains more than 74 miles of local City streets and rights-of-way. Parks and Recreation: The Bulverde Community Park and the expanding City public park system is operated by the City of Bulverde. The park provides public playgrounds, practice fields, shaded and unshaded picnic areas, an event gazebo and a water splash pad. The City also helps facilitate and sponsor community events like the annual Bulverde Jubilee, Movies in the Park and the annual Christmas Lighting.

THE NEWEST CITY IN TEXAS

SPRING BRANCH

he City of Spring Branch was officially created as a Type C General-Law Municipality following certification by the Comal County Commissioners Court on November 19, 2015. The strong desire to “preserve Spring Branch for the next and all future generations is the most important reason for incorporating,” stated the Mayor of Spring Branch, James Mayer (Yes, he is actually Mayor Mayer). The city encompasses just under two square miles and includes slightly fewer than 250 residents. Boundaries primarily run along both sides of US Highway 281 from Rodeo Drive going north to the Comal County line. Two offshoots run down FM 311 going east from US Highway 281 to the Guadalupe River and along Spring Branch Road from

US Highway 281 to the Guadalupe River going west. At the same time the City of Spring Branch was incorporated, the Mayor and City Commissioners were elected. They are as follows: • Mayor - James Mayer • Commissioner – Brad Hockman • Commissioner – Rob Cortez Over the past year, the City has continued working to establish the various ordinances required to operate. Also, close work has been done with the Commissioners Court to draft Inter-local Agreements with Comal County. Other priorities include establishing a budget for the upcoming year, setting the property tax rate and finalizing franchise agreements with the area utilities. The property tax rate was set to $00.12 per $100 valuation in August

2016. This income, along with franchise fees, will provide the initial revenue source for Spring Branch. The focus of the City Charter is to provide the smallest possible government while offering essential services and responding to the needs and interests of residents and property owners. The Commission has set its regular monthly meeting for the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Meetings are held at the Curtis Bremer ESD Training Facility, 9850 FM 311, Spring Branch, Texas. The public is invited and encouraged to attend. The agenda is posted on the City’s website and displayed at the Spring Branch Store 72 hours prior to the meeting dates. For more information regarding the City of Spring Branch, visit www.cityofspringbranch.org. Email any questions or concerns to info@CityofSpringBranch.org. See the area map on page 44 for new city boundaries.

rom Cibolo Creek to the interstate, from industrial parks outside of San Antonio to the shores of Canyon Lake, Comal County is one of the most vibrant and dynamic counties in the country. In all, nearly 135,000 people live in Comal County. Among counties with at least 50,000 residents, Comal is the thirdfastest-growing in the United States. Comal County has seen significant growth in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area, with increased demand for county services, including property tax payments, vehicle registrations and marriage licenses. To meet those needs, the county in 2016 opened a new annex building on Cougar Bend with space for the Tax

Details on times and locations and what is accepted are at comalcountytx.com/rec.htm.

“

ere you have arguably one of the most beautiful areas of the country. We still have the open air and the rolling hills. There’s a lot of ranch area. Life moves a lot slower. We offer that type of lifestyle,” says Chuck Knibbe, chairman of the board, GVTC Communications. With this beauty comes a contemporary vibe and welcoming spirit. Tucked within green hills and towering oaks is a city known for its friendliness, rich culture and modern amenities. Here we know our neighbors, their children, their teachers and their businesses. What sets us apart is our strong sense of community. It’s a feeling, an attitude, and a spirit that’s tangible the moment you walk our streets and paths. We’re neighborly and informal, yet modern in every way. Unpretentious villages of German heritage, Bulverde and Spring Branch are no less contemporary in their business development and community services than their urban neighbor to the south, San Antonio. In fact, it’s from there and parts south that many of their new residents are drawn. “I feel guilty how much I like it. The hills and trees and the elbow room. We

have 10 acres. It’s like detox when I get to my front door,” says Mike Masso, broker owner of Prime Ventures Real Estate Services. Masso moved to Bulverde from McAllen in 2015. For the same reason, residents who grew up here, stay here. Families remain in this “front porch to the Hill Country” for generations. “My family’s been here since 1840. Most people have deep roots here. Spring Branch is one of the oldest German settlements in the state of Texas. There’s rolling hills, lots of oak. It’s a quiet community,” says James Mayer, mayor of Spring Branch. It isn’t just the picturesque scenery that brings new residents to our doorstep. Our central location, expanding commercial amenities and residential neighborhoods are drawing local and national companies and their employees to this area. “Bulverde and Spring Branch are nestled right in the middle of a beautiful area. It’s north of a fabulous city, San Antonio. It’s between two major small cities, New Braunfels on the east and Boerne on the west,” says Knibbe. The influx of new residents has brought new retail establishments to serve them, including large national

B U LV E R D E / S P R I N G B R A N C H A R E A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E

b ulve rd e s p ri ng b ranchcham b e r.co m

chains and small business entrepreneurs. “A retail business owner is going to have to look far to find a concentrated area that has the pure unadulterated growth we have here. The chances of their success are so much greater. We have a massive amount of people moving here,” Knibbe says. Although the community is still rural in nature, the Bulverde and Spring Branch area offers local and national businesses the vital communications services they require to succeed. Part of the GVTC GigaRegion, the area provides comprehensive fiber optic cable with gigabit internet service linking it to major cities nationally and internationally. “If you have a company like GVTC that can provide a high level of communication, you have the best of all worlds. You have communication that can put you in a position to compete with companies around the globe,” Knibbe says. Looking to the future, the City of Bulverde has taken steps to accommodate new residents and companies, while still maintaining the unique character of the Hill Country. Infrastructure improvements are in the works including a plan to widen State Highway 46. The proposed SH 46 Improvement Project will include widening the roadway to six lanes and providing sidewalks and bike lanes. The improvements will provide swifter access to businesses and the area’s rapidly expanding residential areas. Among these is Singing Hills, a 250-acre mixed-use project located at the crossroads of US Hwy 281 & SH 46. Multi-family and single- family living units totaling 352 residences are expected to accommodate 1,225 new residents who will be within walking distance of shopping, dining and entertainment. Minutes from the Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake, Singing Hills was named

COMMUNITY the Best New Development & Best Retail Development of 2015 by the San Antonio Business Journal. Ashton Woods and Jeffrey Harrison Homes have begun construction of single family residences. Anchored by a 180,000-squarefoot Walmart Supercenter, additional commercial tenants are quickly filling 246,000 square feet of inline space, including Sonora Bank and Security Service Federal Credit Union. Coming soon are Taco Bell, Schlotzsky’s, GNC, Bulverde Dentistry, Texas MedClinic and Discount Tire. Visitors and business travelers to the area will find convenient lodging at the new Hampton Inn at Singing Hills. In the final stage of construction, the four-story, 84-room Hampton Inn by Hilton will offer premium hotel and meeting space. The Bulverde Visitors & Convention Center, containing 5,300 square feet of meeting and office space, is adjacent to the hotel. “Our vision was to design a premium hotel that maximizes the property’s extraordinary positioning at the confluence of two major, Central Texas thoroughfares at the most visible site in the beautiful Singing Hills master development. We could not be more excited to have the Bulverde Visitors & Convention Center co-locating with us to create a place where the community and visitors can meet, stay and celebrate in the beautiful hill country of Bulverde,” said Charles Leddy, CEO of Presidian Hotels and Resorts. Other residential and mixeduse developments offer relocating residents home sites with enchanting natural beauty located close to major thoroughfares and shopping. Fronting both US Highway 281 and on FM 1863, Johnson Ranch offers homeowners miles of land covered in massive oak trees, as well as views of the Cibolo Creek valley and the rolling hill country. A quarter of the community is reserved for trails, parks

and open space. Several home builders offer sites ready for construction. Acreage on frontage roads will be dedicated to local and regional retail, office and other commercial space, restaurants, and multi-family living. Johnson Ranch is part of the Comal Independent School District and features an on-site elementary school. Hidden Trails of Bulverde is a 780acre scenic Hill Country location that will be built on ranch land off Stahl Lane, about a mile and a half north of its intersection with FM 1863. As many as 1,800 single-family homes will be built on the property, adjacent to Johnson Ranch. Development plans for Hidden Trails call for preservation of over 200 acres of open space including parks and miles of trails that will wind through the community. Holding a special place in the hearts of the community is Downtown Bulverde. Ongoing plans focus on nurturing the quaint character of the Downtown area and enhancing its heritage and character. Already charming, Downtown Bulverde will be enriched with small, unique businesses, distinctive architecture, rustic building materials and open spaces. In addition to the sanctuary of quiet neighborhoods, residents new to Bulverde and Spring Branch will appreciate the first-class education available to children. Local public schools are part of the exceptional Comal Independent School District (CISD). A fast-growing, progressive, and innovative district with more than 20,000 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, CISD emphasizes academics, fine arts, and athletics. “We have one of the finest school districts in the State of Texas. Our schools have proven themselves to be outstanding both academically and athletically,” says Chuck Knibbe. Comal ISD is well known for its excellent gifted/talented program,

B U LV E R D E / S P R I N G B R A N C H A R E A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E

b ulve rd e s p ri ng b ranchcham b e r.co m

career and technology offerings, dual high school/college enrollment, and its wide range of special education services. Its strong emphasis on teacher training, and outstanding fine arts, agricultural and athletic programs set it apart from other districts. “The rating on the schools here are 9’s and 10’s out of 10. It’s a great draw for people coming here,” says Mike Masso. The opportunity for easy living and business growth are enhanced by the area’s natural beauty and the activities it offers. Within Bulverde’s boundaries is the Bulverde Community Park, 13 acres of land encompassing walking trails, playground areas, a gazebo, covered pavilions, splash pad, a baseball/soccer practice field and basketball court. On Friday evenings during the Spring and Summer, Movies in the Park offers family-friendly films with concessions and children’s activities. The area’s newest nature reserve is Kleck Park with more than 40 acres of densely wooded ranchland. The Comal County park features 1.2 miles of hiking and biking trails. Golfers will enjoy a round at River Crossing Club, a Hill Country private San Antonio golf club located in Spring Branch. A short drive away are Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club in Boerne and Canyon Springs Golf Club in North San Antonio. In addition, Bulverde and Spring Branch are near numerous destinations, including Canyon Lake, Guadalupe River, Guadalupe State Park and several wineries. “You have beautiful places for people to live. Unlike other small towns, you have the services people need. The area has just been exploding. It makes me proud to be here,” says Knibbe. Take a look around. Discover the neighborhoods, schools and businesses that call our community home. We’re betting that you find everything you are looking for and more.

HISTORY

A TEXAS LEGACY EMBRACING OUR HISTORY

BY NANCY BALDWIN

The cities of Bulverde and Spring Branch have a rich heritage rooted in the traditions of Native Americans and the heritage of European settlers. This diverse inheritance provided the foundation for the thriving community our area is today.

RS PHOTO BY RICHARD SPEA

he region’s first residents were Paleo-Indians who arrived in approximately 950 A.D. They lived off the land alongside the flowing Cibolo Creek, which provided plenty of game, water and shelter for the inhabitants. These original settlers were followed by others who saw the many benefits the land offered. In the 1740’s, Comanche Indians migrated into Texas after taking control

22 I

of the region from the Lipan Apaches and the Tonkawas a few decades earlier. The Comanches used the creek and its landings as pathways and trading places throughout the territory. Arrowheads, including an indigenous variety known as the Bulverde point, can still be unearthed alongside Cibolo Creek and its surrounding hillsides. Cibolo, an old Mexican and Native

American term for “bison,” derives from the hunting grounds alongside the steeply banked bluffs of the creek. Native Americans would run herds of bison off into the creek and to their ultimate death, commonly known now as buffalo jumps. The mid-1800’s brought a wave of German immigrants to the Bulverde/ Spring Branch area. They comprised the majority of the population for several decades and their cultural influence on the region remains visible today. Early settlers to the region bore the names of Knibbe, Elbel, Fuhrmann, Imhoff, Beierle, Acker, Kriegner, Willke, Porter, Monken, Becker, Bergmann, Moos, Neugebauer, Knebel, and Specht among others. In fact, for years German was the main “foreign” language taught in the area schools. The annexation of Texas into the United States boosted land grabs in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area. Most were huge ranches, such as Ben Smithson’s land in the Smithson Valley area and Dietrich Knibbe’s settlement along the Guadalupe River in the winter of 1852. August Anton Pieper, an immigrant from Hanover, Germany, established Pieper’s Settlement in 1850 along the Cibolo. The area was known as Pieper’s settlement until 1880 when a newly constructed post office bore the name of an early landowner who claimed 320 acres in the valley of the Cibolo, Luciano Bulverdo.

b ulve rd e s p ri ng b ranchcham b e r.co m

Pieper constructed a two-story house with a clay and oxen hair insulated cellar and a rock barn on the Bexar County side of Cibolo Creek. The buildings still stand today, preserved in the Settlement 1850 event center along Bulverde Road. They are regarded as the oldest buildings in the area. The original store in Bulverde was built around 1873 on the site occupied by Sweet’s Store along Bulverde Road. Travelers and traders venturing from Boerne to New Braunfels stopped at the general store and post office, quickly forming a small community around the traveler’s stopping point. In 1956, the Wood Family bought the store and continue to run it today, although a 1969 fire destroyed the original building. Boasting mills, a cotton gin, general store, a school and a blacksmith’s shop, the Spring Branch settlement owes much of its history to its original families. Louis Wilke served as Spring Branch’s first postmaster in 1858. Dr. Charles Porter constructed the first mill and acted as the settlement’s first store owner. During the Civil War, the post office closed its doors, largely shutting off communication outside of the settlement’s confines. The original settlement of Spring Branch lies a few miles west of U.S. Route 281 north of Texas State Highway 46. When the construction of Hwy 281 aimed to bypass the settlement, Hermann J. Knibbe, Spring Branch’s seventh postmaster from 1914 to 1949, moved the store and the post office to Hwy 281 and FM 311 in order to attract the flowing business between Johnson City and San Antonio. The original store’s concrete foundation can still be seen from Spring Branch Road on Knibbe Ranch. Construction of an H-E-B supermarket in 2000 prompted

major economic development on the Boerne side of the Hwy 281 and TX 46 intersection. The economic center of Bulverde shifted north, giving Bulverde’s historic roots along Bulverde Road the appropriate and rustic title, “Old Downtown.” The consolidation of four cities near and around the area in 1999 created the amorphous, barrierlike city boundaries of Bulverde. Nicknamed the “Boerne Wall,” the city’s boundaries extend from the peripheries of Boerne to Garden Ridge near I-35, preventing an ever enlarging San Antonio from extending its grasp into the Hill Country. Spring Branch became the newest city in Texas on November 19th, 2015. The Comal County Commissioners Court confirmed a vote by the residents, and ordered the incorporation of the City of Spring Branch. The actual city limit of the City of Spring Branch covers just under two square miles. The perimeter primarily runs along Hwy 281 going north from Rodeo Drive to the Comal County Line and offshoots going east down FM 311 and west down Spring Branch Road. Hints of the area’s history remain today hidden among newer structures. Wine 101, located in Old

The Spring Branch Store was built in 1949 that served as the Post Office and Store when Hwy 281 was being built. It stills operates as the Spring Branch Store.

Downtown Bulverde, used to be a cow barn for the Wood Family in the mid1900’s. Behind that building’s land, a dance hall stood for nearly 50 years. There German settlers and traders, as well as local Bulverdites, enjoyed their dance hall days between the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Unfortunately, abject decay and nearly irreversible foundation damage prompted the Woods to tear down the growing eyesore. The location also was once the site of a lumber mill. In the M&S Engineering complex along FM 311, a tworoom schoolhouse, once called the Sherwood School, sits behind the company’s main building. The tin-roofed, light gray, dwelling housed students in what became the Bulverde School District in 1947 with an enrollment of 52 students. Bulverde and Spring Branch continue to build on their colorful history. Strong in its diverse culture, it continues to be a unique community known as the Front Porch of the Hill Country.

While the Chamber is an active player in painting the big picture of the community’s future, the organization recognizes the need to support businesses in their day-to-day operations. The Chamber’s membership is primarily small businesses.

For this, the Chamber offers monthly business networking mixers and its monthly Power Lunch event. Every business benefits from increased visibility, and the Chamber has that covered with a variety of programs and services to help businesses spread the word. Ribbon

Fig. 1 Retail Building 4 After breaking ground last June, the first multi-tenant retail building, located next to Popeye’s along Highway 46, is now completed. Retail Building 4 (12,588 sf) was delivered in December and came online fully leased to five tenants, including: Mattress Firm, Schlotzsky’s, GNC, Sport Clips and Bulverde Dentistry (Fig. 1). They join the growing line-up of businesses already open at the project including Walmart Supercenter, Whataburger, Jiffy Lube, Security Service Federal Credit Union, The First National Bank of Sonora,

Ay Chiwawa! Mexican Café, Popeyes and, most recently, The Heights at Bulverde Skilled Nursing Facility (Fig. 2). Meanwhile, the 4-story Hampton Inn is nearing completion and expected to open Fall of 2017 (Fig. 3). The hotel will feature additional meeting hall space as well as the Bulverde Visitors Center, EDF, and Chamber. More construction will begin soon as several other businesses are preparing to break ground. Discount Tire, Texas MedClinic, WashTub and Taco Bell have all purchased lots and are in various stages of planning and development. In

addition, another restaurant is currently under contract to purchase a pad along US 281 and is anxious to start construction. Several theater/entertainment groups are interested in the project’s designated entertainment tract which would add a real amenity to the growing community. In addition, we are working with a multi-family developer who has plans to construct a new apartment complex that would add roughly 300 Class A units. Single-family development is also growing.

at Singing Hills, consisting of 72 lots, is being taken down by two home builders (Jeffrey Harrison and Ashton Woods) who have indicated demand for the next two units (Fig. 4, Fig. 5). When built out, The Preserve is expected to have a total of 310 homes. Next up is the development of Retail Building 2 (23,280 sf) which is expected to break ground this summer with completion anticipated by the end of the year. Tenants will include Massage Heights, AT&T, Super Cuts, Tony Thao Le Nail Salon, The Animal Hospital of Smithson Valley and Little Caesarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Looking ahead, plans are well underway for Retail 7 (71,551 sf) which will feature second-floor office space above retail in a portion of the center which is planned to be anchored by a national pet-supply store and other major retailers. This project may be under construction by the end of the year. Lease space is available in both projects. Additional inline retail centers are also in the works and there are preliminary plans for a three-story medical office building. If interested in locating your business to Singing Hills, please call us to discuss the project in more detail. We welcome the opportunity to answer any questions you may have.

SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED? A Golden Opportunity to Boost Your Quality of Life Do you have health concerns and been told your lab tests are “normal,” yet you continue to suffer with symptoms such as these, symptoms you hoped could go away long ago? • Energy crisis, wired but tired, fatigue, insomnia. • Inability to lose weight, even with exercise. • Cold hands, cold feet, cold all over or hot flashes. • Digestive issues, bloating, reflux, diarrhea or constipation. • Depression, lack of motivation, moodiness, or anxiety. • Thinning hair. • Mental sluggishness, brain fog. • Heart palpitations. • Skin rashes or rapidly aging skin. Please consider this, most chronic diseases incubate 10 years or more before they are finally detectible. Environmental stresses and biological imbalances occur during those incubation years to serve as such fertile ground for chronic diseases such as obesity, arthritis, hypertension, thyroid disease, menopausal symptoms, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It’s the job of a functional medicine practitioner to answer such questions and provide tailored re-balancing programs for individuals before and after they find themselves needing drugs, surgery, or medical appliances. What you eat, how you exercise, what your spiritual practices are, how much stress you live with and how you handle it are all elements that must be addressed in a comprehensive approach.

What is Functional Medicine? Functional Medicine is personally tailored medicine. It is an integrative, sciencebased healthcare approach that treats illness and promotes wellness by focusing assessment on the biochemically unique aspects of each person. Interventions are individually tailored to restore physiological, psychological and structural balance. Functional Medicine emphasizes true healing, treatment of the person rather than a disease, and a partnership of joint

responsibility between a health professional and a client. Functional Medicine uses This new medication is changing my life.

Who Qualifies For This Type of Proactive Approach?

People must commit themselves to follow the prevention approaches of functional medicine and optimized living. Although a prevention or wellness lifestyle is highly rewarding, it is not for the timid or the stubborn. The problem is that most people have fallen victim to the harmful mental pattern of hoping rather than acting. They hope they will somehow fare better than others whom they know. Hope, however, doesn’t have a good track record for preventing chronic disease. But hey, hope is easy! Do you want a pro-active approach?

ALWAYS BY YOUR SIDE A folder, one among many files at our Central Station on Rodeo Drive, exists that doesn’t contain data on response times, reports on training and certifications, spreadsheets of financial information, but instead the history of our organization. Obviously pecked out on oldfashioned typewriters, we have preserved in this folder several stories, along with photographs from our past. We value and cherish these documents because they remind us of our humble

current Singing Hills development, outlines key dates and events from 1978 through 1982.

BSB FIRE & EMS

From these very early days, our path to providing the best individuals possessing the most current training was clear cut, and further down the road, when we crafted our mission statement “to respond immediately with educated professionals through

pioneering science and technology, creating profound good,” we simply built upon those same principles. Revisiting the pages in this folder allows us to turn back the clock to reflect upon the many improvements and accomplishments we have realized

in serving our citizens. Bulverde Spring Branch Emergency Services is an award-winning model system and all individuals who serve in the organization live and breathe our mission and vision. Leadership at BSB shares the following: “We teach, we invent, we explore, we open our facilities to community groups and meetings. We publish, and in many ways, we are supporting the future of medicine.” Years down the road, the next person who manages the files will discover yet another precious document, hammered out on an old-fashioned computer keyboard, and will appreciate the then, but will savor their many achievements as Bulverde Spring Branch Fire & EMS will forever uphold the vision to identify, serve, and champion the needs of others.

Fire and ambulance service is but one of the many services BSB Fire & EMS offers: ● Advanced Educational Facility – cutting edge training for healthcare professionals & students, led by exceptional faculty ● Classes – unlike any other: Comedy First Aid & CPR & Family Anatomy Night (F.A.N. Club) ● Medical Clinic Host Site – serving the uninsured & underinsured residing in Comal County ● Mobile Integrated Healthcare – delivering patient-centered preventative care directly to you through collaborative home visits ● W.O.W.

OUR LIBRARY

THE BULVERDE/SPRING BRANCH LIBRARY:

THE ULTIMATE COMMUNITY RESOURCE

Despite the digital age and instantaneous access to information via the Internet, a public library is still a precious and viable part of every community. The Bulverde/Spring Branch Library serves as the ultimate community resource.

BSB LIBRARY

Governed by the Bulverde Area Rural Library District’s community elected Board of Trustees, the Library’s almost 20,000 square foot location, soon to be expanded to almost 33,000, in Bulverde is more than a library; it is a community center of sorts. Besides the materials available for checkout, the Library

62 I

hosts rotating art displays and has community meeting rooms available for non-profits or other organizations in need of a place to gather. From concerts to computer classes and craft days, the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library is a hub for educational activity and fun. Library cards are free and besides books, members can enjoy a very large dvd and audiobook collection for adults, teens, and children, as well as all the wonderful programming regularly offered.

B U LV E R D E / S P R I N G B R A N C H A R E A C H A M B E R O F C O M M E R C E

b ulve rd e s p ri ng b ranchcham b e r.co m

One unexpected delight for first-time visitors is the Library’s butterfly garden at the edge of the parking lot, planned and maintained by Master Gardener volunteers. The butterfly garden is used to educate the community about what they can plant to help nurture the environment. The Master Naturalists also created a wildscape between two parking areas and the Native Plant Society has taken on the task of labeling the natives the library has planted so that other community members may use them as examples for planting in their own landscapes. In addition to an expansive collection of books, movies and periodicals, the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library also offers online resources including downloadable e-books, audiobooks and magazines, free language learning, including ESL, test aides, software training and career resources. The Library is a wireless hotspot and makes computers with highspeed internet access available for community members and guests who

need on-line access. They hold regular digital classes which include hands on one-on-one training with your digital device, computer basics, and common social media and software training classes as well as many other programs for community members of all ages. The Library supports the business community by offering a special collection of more than 500 titles focused on small businesses, small business training courses throughout the year, and a host of on-line resources for business owners. While all of these things make for a great library, the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library goes beyond the expected to deliver programs that engage the community and enrich lives. The Library’s summer reading program involves children, teens and adults. The popular six weeklong summer programs offer prizes as incentives for reading. It includes events and reading incentives around the chosen theme for the year. All year long, avid adult readers enjoy being part of the Library’s book clubs, either in person or online, and join in community and worldwide discussions such as the Great Decisions Discussion series which includes speakers and discussion on eight topics chosen by the Foreign Policy Association as the most relevant at the current time. The Library’s family room is

equipped with children’s computers, and parents can get their children hooked on reading at an early age by bringing their toddlers and preschoolers to the Library for designated Storytimes. The library is a nationally recognized Family Place Library, hosting classes to help parents learn to play with their children ages 0-5 years to develop their skills for lifelong learning. School-aged children who are having a little difficulty or lack confidence reading aloud can read to the Library’s Reading Therapy Animals. These non-judgmental critters give children their undivided attention and help them to gain reading confidence. The Foundation and Friends of the Library are not only support organizations for the library but also a great place to meet and enjoy time with other community members who love to have fun. Both organizations were instrumental in purchasing and outfitting an outreach vehicle for the library, the BiblioTechno Trekker, to

take their services to community members who have trouble coming in to enjoy them. To get ahead of the growth projected for Comal County in the coming years, the library Trustees recently commissioned a 10-year masterplan. Construction documents will be developed through 2017 to expand the existing facility to almost 33,000 square feet. Construction on the building will begin in early 2018 and the added space will welcome a new Children’s area, a larger meeting room, and several smaller meeting spaces as well as a “makerspace” where DIYers can use shared equipment. For more information on what the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library has to offer visit www.bsblibrary.org or call (830)-438-4864.

Are you new to the area or just looking for great activities with a wonderful group of people? Join the Friends of the Library who always have something fun on the agenda! Many Friends, after moving to the Hill Country, found this library support group a great place to mix and mingle. As a 501(c)3 organization, the Friends support the library with programs, hosting events, fundraising, sponsoring excursions and much more. Yearly memberships are $10 per person or a lifetime membership is $500 per family, so join us now!

ater and wildlife merge in our rustic terrain. Rolling green hills meet stone outcroppings; rock cliffs give way to clear rivers, and wildflowers dot the landscape. Farms with chickens, cows, horses, hogs and sheep stand behind fences. Deer, antelope, native birds and butterflies bring a special splendor. Here nature and adventure are around every corner. A picturesque spot for a peaceful escape, it is also the perfect place for outdoor activities and recreation. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that Bulverde and Spring Branch were ranch communities. Our residents still maintain a connection with nature and the ranch lifestyle. Area youth who are members of the Comal County 4H and Smithson Valley FFA programs often get handson experience working with animals. In addition to teaching animal and agricultural skills, the programs educate young people in leadership, citizenship and life lessons.

Company keeps crowds entertained from March through November. However, for those who prefer to make their own adventure, horseback riding is a favorite pastime here. There are multiple businesses and organizations to serve the needs of area equestrians. New riders can take riding lessons, and serious riders can board their horses at area stables. For those who just want a one-day adventure, a few area businesses offer guided trial rides with horses and ponies included. Several horse clubs in the area encourage riders to enjoy some time in the saddle and fellowship with like-minded folks. Riding horseback is a great way to enjoy the area’s scenic views, and nearby Guadalupe River State Park offers more than five miles of equestrian trails for riders to enjoy. It’s not just horse lovers that enjoy the park. The Guadalupe River State Park offers a back country setting for activities such as primitive camping, backpacking, mountain biking, hiking, and nature viewing.

The park is a special place for bird watchers as well. People come from all over the world to get a glimpse of some of the park’s permanent and temporary winged residents. The park is the only place in the world where the Golden-cheeked Warbler nests. A federally endangered species of songbird, it arrives in the park in mid-March and stays around only until July. These birds stay busy during that time, breeding and getting their offspring raised in time for the flight back south of the border midsummer. Other birds that reside in the park are also celebrities of the birdwatching world. The Painted Bunting’s stunning display of color is a soughtafter photograph for bird enthusiasts and the Vermillion Flycatcher’s flaming red feathers are a spectacular sight. Don’t forget a camera to preserve your experience or catch that bird in flight. The park offers all kinds of opportunities for area residents and visitors to commune with nature and the wildlife that resides there. In addition to horseback riding and bird watching, visitors can canoe, fish, swim, or tube on the river which offers four miles of frontage. Thirteen miles of scenic hike and bike trails provide plenty of opportunity for walking and biking. Guests can take advantage of the 2.86mile Painted Bunting Trail and the

The park’s family-friendly Discovery Center was developed nine years ago as a launch point for visitors to explore the area. Unlike displays that may be seen in other parks, the center’s exhibits are meant to be an interactive experience. “Kids love it. We’ve got all kinds of skins, skulls and skeletons. Everything is touchable,” says Park Interpreter Craig Hensley. Some of the exhibits feature magnifying glasses, microscopes or binoculars to encourage kids to take a closer look. Families can also check out a free backpack of tools to use while they are exploring. Also, the park hosts weekly programs like Bird in the Hand, a family-oriented event held on Saturday mornings. Hensley provides a morning full of nose-to-beak looks at the area’s

native songbirds. Families learn about the science and art of bird banding, including a hands-on experience of banding and releasing birds. Wildflower and butterfly identification, as well as astronomy programs and owl prowls, are also on the regular programming agenda at the park. Residents can volunteer with the park’s Monarch Research Project, participating in bi-monthly surveys to track the Monarch Butterfly population within the park’s boundaries. Here in Bulverde and Spring Branch, we’re proud of Guadalupe River State Park. We’re proud, too, of our county and city parks where our community comes to connect with nature and each other. Featuring 1.2 miles of hiking trails, Kleck Park is located on 43 acres of densely wooded ranchland on Stahl Rd. between Highway 46 and FM 1863. “Kleck is a terrific addition to our

system of county parks and recreation sites,” says Robert Boyd, county parks manager. “We’re excited for Bulverdearea residents to get to enjoy this beautiful park.” Kleck Park is built on land donated by the Helen Kleck Vivian Living Trust in 2014. Its trails provide a view of the natural Hill Country beauty, as well as 16 birdhouses marked with signs and numbers. Visitors may walk, bike, hike or even ride horseback through the scenic area. Here in town is Bulverde Community Park where 13 acres of land beckon to children of all ages. Kids will want to take advantage of a splash pad, two playgrounds, basketball court, combination baseball/soccer practice field and open space for running and playing with pets. Walking trails offer the opportunity for a casual stroll or light jog. Covered pavilions with picnic

tables offer a great place for grilling out with friends. Additional grills and tables are located throughout the park. Birthday parties and special gatherings can be held within a large gazebo. Water fountains and restrooms are ready to handle crowds. The park is also the location for a variety of special community events including Movie Night in the Park, Music in the Park and community festivals. Those with a green thumb will enjoy the Bulverde Community Garden, a volunteer-run membership organization that provides gardening plots on a oneyear lease basis. Plots are made available to residents, non-profits and businesses by the Bulverde Community Park Association. The Community Garden is an attractive, safe and peaceful place to cultivate, fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. An exciting new addition is a bee condo. A habitat for native bees, the condo provides manmade nesting blocks to attract pollinators to the garden. Not to be forgotten among our animal friends are the four-legged and feathered family members who share our homes and our hearts. Here in Bulverde and Spring Branch, we’re fortunate to have some of the best in pet care that Texas has to offer. Pet Galaxy is right in our backyard, providing pets with the luxury vacations they deserve, and The Furry Godmother offers in-home care for dogs, cats and other cherished creatures. The Bulverde Area Humane Society and Animal Rescue Connections help match homeless and abandoned pets with new families. In fact, more than 25 pet or animal-associated organizations operate in the area, taking care of everything a pet could need. Services include medical care, pet sitting, grooming, daycare, training and nutrition. Here in Bulverde/Spring Branch, we know how lucky we are. We’ve been given a gift. Our laidback life style is tied inextricably to our natural landscape. It’s a wonderful, beautiful place to be.

ECONOMY

MOVING TO THE FUTURE There’s a reason companies open and relocate here. Fueled by an entrepreneurial spirit and hometown traditions, Bulverde is the natural choice for prosperous businesses in Texas and surrounding states.

ur heritage of independent Texians and German immigrants has filled us with a vision and excitement for the future. We’re building on our legacy and taking the spirit of Texas to new heights. In 2015, the Texas economy grew by 3.8 percent, faster than any state other than Oregon and California. Our state’s GDP logged in at $1.48 trillion, the second largest in the nation. At 4.5 percent, unemployment was the 18th lowest among the states according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the crossroads of Interstate 281 and State Highway 46, we’re ideally located for businesses and industries. With Austin to the north and San Antonio

76 I

to the south, we’re in good company. Among cities with the fastest growing economies 2010-2015, Austin ranks second with gross regional product (GRP) growth of 37.1 percent according to Forbes magazine (Headlight Data). San Antonio comes in at fourth with 33.2 percent GRP. So strong is our local economy, the San Antonio/New Braunfels area recorded a 3.5 percent unemployment rate ending 2015. Contributing to this business growth is the area’s educated workforce. Served by the highly regarded Comal Independent School District, the Bulverde/Spring Branch area touts a high school graduation rate of 92.4 percent. More than one-third of the population

holds a bachelor’s degree or higher. In addition, a competitive tax rate and regulatory atmosphere create favorable conditions for business relocation and expansion. “The City of Bulverde has one of the lowest tax rates of cities in Texas. We don’t have a burdensome regulatory environment,” says Danny Batts, city manager, Bulverde. The momentum extends from Bulverde to the surrounding area. The outcome is a speedy influx of both businesses and new residents. Regional and national companies have recognized our untapped potential. “Any industry would be well placed here,” Batts says. A diverse and welcoming community, Bulverde offers an outstanding quality of life along with a low cost of doing business. It is rapidly becoming a sought after bedroom community away from the frenzy of

ECONOMY the big city. New residents to Texas and relocating Texas natives alike have realized the advantages of living close, but not in, the metropolitan areas of this state’s southern counties. The area’s population has grown to almost 50,000 people, and the signs of growth are clearly visible in the expansion of retail and housing developments. One of these developments is The Shops at Faithville Park. Currently in Phase 1 of renovation, the retail center formerly known as Faithville Village is adding unique shops and entertainment venues to serve the burgeoning community. “The population growth rate has exploded over the last 4-5 years. There’s an opportunity for shops, businesses, boutiques and restaurants in a park-like setting,” says Mike Masso, owner broker, Prime Ventures Commercial Real Estate. The Shops at Faithville Park will merge existing businesses with new tenants on acreage designed to unify its buildings with the surrounding environment. “The village setting of Faithville Park has great potential as a mixed-use destination with a Hill Country feel to better serve the community,” says Masso. Included are bed and breakfast cottages, two chapels, event venues, restaurants, spa, apparel and home furnishings stores plus several small businesses. One building has been

converted to accommodate an executive business center for local entrepreneurs. Also, plans for a 6,000-square-foot event center are underway. Another development fostering new businesses and serving the community is Singing Hills, a 250 acre- mixed-use development at State Highway 46 and U.S. Highway 281. Anchored by a Walmart Supercenter, the center is rapidly adding local and national businesses to its commercial mix. Included are restaurants, banks, credit union, a home furnishings store, auto service center and apparel shops. This fall the Hampton Inn, a 90-bed hotel, will open. The commercial center serves the adjacent Singing Hills residential development poised to have 300+ residences. Multi-family housing is planned for the future. Helping to spur growth and maximize opportunities for business owners is GVTC Communications. Through a partnership with the cities of Bulverde, Boerne and Gonzales, the telecommunications company powers more than 2,200 miles of fiber optic cable with gigabit internet service. In addition, economic incentives are available in the GVTC GigaRegion® cities to create jobs and enhance the quality of life for the area. To enhance business operations, GVTC provides SpeedSync, a fiber technology feature that provides up to 100/100 Mbps download and upload speeds.

“SpeedSync is really good for small businesses in terms of productivity. You get the same download and upload speed, so you’ll have a way better experience,” says Josh Pettiette, vice president, product, business development, and strategic planning at GVTC. For the future, GVTC is considering a variety of ways to assist businesses and is meeting with owners to discuss their current and future needs. “We’re looking at ‘how do we help small businesses become a growing enterprise?’ We visit with them to grow our relationship and ask what are their plans and needs for growth,” says Pettiette. In fact, a new network is being launched by GVTC to enhance business services. “We will extend a fiber optic ring that will extend local markets by allowing them to connect to more robust data center offerings and cloud offerings. That enhances the economic viability of the area. Businesses will have full access to major metro markets,” Pettiette says. It takes collaboration and commitment from multiple community players to execute strategic plans for the area’s growth. Among these is the Bulverde/ Spring Branch Economic Development Foundation (BSBEDF). The BSBEDF helps structure incentives for prospective businesses and acts as a liaison to assist with relocations, expansions, infrastructure and site development, job training and other needs.

In conjunction with BSBEDF, the City of Bulverde is taking steps to accommodate the influx of new residents and businesses through a strategy to maximize the area’s assets and infrastructure. Among the initiatives is a plan for the future development of Downtown Bulverde Village, the historic heart of the town. The City has commissioned Jacobs Engineering Group to conduct a visioning process that will develop a plan to enhance the viability and vibrancy of the area. The City envisions a quaint but progressive village, preserving the existing aesthetics and character of Downtown Bulverde Village with small, unique businesses, distinctive architecture, rustic building materials and open spaces. Several infrastructure goals are also targeted for the future. Maintenance and improvement of existing city streets, as well as local highways, is a priority. Chief among these is the expansion of State Highway 46. The City of Bulverde is working with TxDOT to expand Hwy 46 by adding lanes. Being designed is a six-lane roadway with raised median. The result will be major mobility enhancement. It will provide capacity for what the area is slated to have in the future and enhance safe access to the local commercial areas. “The first phase is expected to begin late 2018,” says Batts.

Also on the docket are plans to address stormwater drainage issues in both existing and future developments. In an area where flash flooding is a threat, Bulverde and Spring Branch look to improved drainage to provide unimpeded access to both businesses and neighborhoods. The area north of the Guadalupe River continues to offer expanded business and lifestyle amenities. On the west side of Highway 281 at Blazing Meadows Rd. is the newly relocated Spring Branch Post Office. This convenient location will allow for easy access from the newly expanded Highway 281. The recently opened Spring Creek Gardens offers area residents a destination garden center complete with regional plants, poultry, wild bird supplies, outdoor décor, shade and ornamental trees. Interactive events and workshops for children and adults provide tips for indoor and outdoor gardening. New residents can browse for fresh landscaping while sipping a glass of wine. Indoor furnishings reflecting a Hill Country style are available from BR Field Fine Furnishings and Lighting. The store’s broad selection of decor ranges from iron doors and floor decor to ceiling fixtures and custom upholstery. A diamond in the rough is the Shade Tree Saloon & Grill, a favorite hangout for locals and visitors. The restaurant offers an eclectic wine and beer selection including a proprietary line of draft beer brewed onsite, Shade Tree Homebrew. New stores and businesses continue to open and expand each year. Bulverde and the surrounding area have a proven track record of success, and local firms have continued to thrive. We invite you to experience that same success for your business by expanding or relocating to Bulverde. Visit www.bsbedf.com or call 8308854331 for more information on the assistance and benefits our area can offer businesses, employees and their families.
