They have their yard man haul debris across the street and stash it among the trees behind our house. Can or should anything be done about this? Just wondering.... Your chance to do anything about it came and went when the ACIA turned down the opportunity to buy the property. Looks like the golf course may become the new Continental Plaza.

Unfinished zombie housing developments haunt the rural West

It was the lack of any local planning and foresight that caused Teton County to succumb to the boom-bust cycle of development. Hopefully, Teton County, ID can learn from the past and now create a vision and adopt policies that have development pay for itself, while protecting the qualities that make the area special.

2012-05-06T16:12:00.001-05:00

Lanco-Continental Plaza originated between FM 1960 and Atascocita road in 1982. It was split into hundreds of separate blocks (typically 50 X 100 feet) which were sold to individual buyers with the promise of mixed use development. Several streets were paved with most being named after major waterways, such as Barents and Aegean Seas and Indian Ocean.

Atascocita Anyone Going To The Continental Plaza Cleanup - Atascocita Forums

Owners purchased the land in 1984 from the developers Jim and Dennis Wilkerson,however they were was not able to build up ( Note : there is no deed restrictions).Since 1984 Harris County Permitting office( and the Association ) was rejecting all building permit applications.
Continental Plaza Association Inc did not want any structures in this area. They were investing landowners association fee money elsewhere.That is why there is no sewer,no water lines and no maintenance service.

So-called” Continental Land Owners Association Inc. “ was established on October 25, 1985 ,under the address P.O box#4028,Humble TX 77347(as per Texas State Comptroller’s office :file #0077192501, tax ID #17602049862,registered agent: Donald Knobloch, 15311 W. Vantage Parkway, Ste. 315, Houston, TX 77032,officers: Don Knobloch, Jim Tynan, Tami Barnett, 18 Augusta Pines Dr, Spring, TX 77387).The Continental Land Owners Association Inc. officials were not elected by the land owners.
• The Continental Plaza land owners and a taxpayers, who attempted to contact Continental Land Owners Association ,discovered that :
1. The office address is not accurate
2. The phone number is blocked.
3. The P.O. Box 4028, Humble, TX 77347 was set up only to collect the association fee money from approximately 450 land owners of approximately 229 acres of land .
4. According to documentation, send by the T. Barnett to some to the land owners, annual maintenance is $0.02 per square foot of land.
5. All officers that established Continental Land Owners Association Inc. were never located by the land owners
• Continental Land Owners Association Inc never disclosed a balance of the account to the land owners and no annul meetings were held. All certified letters that were sent by land owners to the Continental Land Owners Association Inc were returned.
• The maintenance fee money ($0.02/square foot of the land per year) collected during over 20 years was never used to clean up, repair roads, and to install sewer and water system. Lanco Continental Plaza wasn’t maintained according to the land owner’s expectations.
• Status of the “Continental Land Owners Association” is unknown (as per Texas Comptrollers office:” not in good standing”).Went out of business or bankrupt.
• “Lanco Continental Plaza” developer’s status is unknown to the land owners and no record to be found
• There are about 450 land owners in the Continental Plaza area.
• This area has become a wasteland, where many residents and surrounding businesses dump their trash (auto/mechanical shops ).

Harris county officials lost interest in this area,however they area collecting very high property taxes.They own over 10 lots in the Continental Plaza.
High profile Texas authorities and politicians are ignoring landowners requests to have this case investigated. They have been ignoring landowners requests for several years.
On 01/01/2001, the land owners submitted a fraud report to the Attorney General of Texas,John Cornyn . This case was never investigated.Land owners did not receive any feedback.
Harris county Health and Environmental dept issued 29 major groundwater contamination violations and 17 other violations.
Continental land Owners Association did not correct the issue.
Did they penalize them ? I don't think so.

Just to stop illegal dumpers

Kingwood Continental Plaza-The Observer: "Continental Plaza, which consists of approximately 450 property owners and 229 acres of land, contains no structures. Half of the properties are deemed for commercial businesses and the other half will be residential structures.

They have this many owners and they can't clean it up themselves?"

Houston Community Newspapers Online - News Around Town > Archives > Kingwood Observer > News > Owners push to clean, build up Continental Plaza

Construction debris, old furniture and trash litter the entrance to Continental Plaza and the small paved road connecting FM 1960 East with Atascocita Road.

By ROYCELYN BASTIAN

Published: 08.12.08

Driving past Continental Plaza on FM 1960, many have noticed graffiti on the sign and yellow caution tape warning many about the large pot holes and illegal dumping that has taken place for many years.

Now that the property owners are no longer under an association and have the option to build on their land, there will be a clean up event Sept. 20 and 27.

“Our goal is to take the trash that has been dumped on the side of our roads and put them on the roads and bulldoze them towards FM 1960 into trash containers,” said Margaret Kopko, representing property owners in Continental Plaza.

The clean up event will take place 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Organizers are working with county officials to get a tractor to push and collect the trash. Businesses will also be asked to donate or help get 10 trash containers for the event.

“Once the cleanup is complete, we have plans to do surveillance and go to the businesses on FM 1960 and ask them to stop illegal dumping on the properties,” said Marianna Kopko, another property owner.

A gate is also an option to deter people from further tearing and trashing the roads and properties.

Continental Plaza, which consists of approximately 450 property owners and 229 acres of land, contains no structures. Half of the properties are deemed for commercial businesses and the other half will be residential structures. Owners began purchasing land in the 1980s; however, after deals were finalized, they began to realize the mistake they had made.

“Lanco-Continental Land owners association collected millions of dollars fees to maintain our properties and to enjoy the escalating value of land. Surrounding properties did increased their values but continental plaza became a the de-facto garbage dump, money was stolen for Lanco's greed,” said Paul Dalde, property owner in Continental Plaza. “Huge 18 wheelers make short cut through the main street of continental creating those big potholes. In the beginning, kids were drag racing at night too, until the pavement on those roads are gone to the mud it is today.”

Now that the Continental Land Owners Association went out of business in 2007, property owners are ready to build, develop or sell their property and first order of business is to clean it up. After Sept. 20 and Sept. 27, developers are going to start looking at the open land and begin developing it.

“We like to take back our land from the vandals, homeless and malicious people around, your brilliant story presentation would help other land owners who are disappointed and dismayed, and help us in making Continental Plaza unique as it was envisioned to be. We need community cooperation to do that,” Dalde said.

According to organizers of the cleanup, the event will help to remove garbage, reduce crime, reduce traffic and increase the beautification can development of the area.
