Important City News!
A new law has recently gone into effect that
requires all homeowners who plan any kind of permanent
external construction to request a building permit from
the City. This includes driveways, swimming pools,
decks, outdoor buildings, etc. The Hidden
Springs ACC Committee will be amending the approval
process for home improvement projects to make sure we are
in compliance with these new City
guidelines. |

Dear Homeowner ,
A belated Happy New Year to you!
Now that the holidays are well behind us we are looking
forward to a successful year in 2008 for the Hidden
Springs Ranch HOA which also means there will
be openings for new Board Members
positions.
Please put a note on your calendars to
"SAVE THE DATE" for Saturday, March 29th @ 10.00am at
the Pool Pavilion where we will host our annual HOA
Meeting. You will hear from our President,
Administrator and each of the Committee Chairs on this
past year's activities. It is also a great
opportunity to find out how you can serve as a Board
Member, participate in one of our Committees
and discuss ideas and concerns for our
wonderful neighborhood.
We are a self-managed Association and
your willingness to participate in HOA
activities is key to our success. If you are
interested in serving on the Board starting in April,
please call the HOA number or send us an email - we
would love to hear from you.
In closing I look forward
to seeing you next month and wish you and your
family a happy, healthy and successful
2008.
Best regards,
Robin Grace

Annual Tiger 5K
Run
Saturday April
19th
Hidden Springs
Ranch Sub-Division
For residents who have lived in Hidden
Springs Ranch for a while you will be familiar with the
annual Tiger 5K Run which raises funds for middle
and high school bands. For those of you fairly new
to the neighborhood, this event is a fun one for the
whole family and we encourage you to register and
participate. For those of us who are not quite as
athletic, it is fun to come out and
observe the proceedings including the
performance by the marching band!
The actual run will start at 9.00am
and registration begins at 8.00am. You can
pre-register online. After the run there is a
short award ceremony and the event will be over by
about 10.30am. During this time, parts of Broken
Lance Drive will be blocked off to thru-traffic so
please plan accordingly. Participants and visitors
will be directed by traffic attendants to park in the
softball fields thereby reducing traffic through our
neighborhood and to eliminate parking on the
streets. For more details of the run, please visit
their website 8th
