Ed and Judy Frost have sold the Hurricane Creek Recreational Area (the pool and tennis courts off Hurricane Creek Road near Susan Carol Lane) to Hurricane Creek residents Ralph and Sharon McDarmont of Tamara Lane. Congratulations!
On behalf of the board I would like to express my gratitude to Ed and Judy for their hard work over the years. In my experience there's no cleaner pool in the area, nor one that offers a slide and diving board for the kids. It has been great to be a member there and I hope Ralph and Sharon can continue and build on the Frost's fine legacy.

Driveways in Hurricane Creek Must Be Paved
Neighborhood covenants prohibit the use of a gravel or dirt driveway. Quoting Covenant #1 from the hurricanecreek.com website,
"All driveways from street to garage or carport shall be concrete or plant hot mix asphalt surface."
Parking your truck or car in your front yard is not the image we want as a subdivision. Repeating (in large part) what was said earlier about covenant violations:
"Several homeowners are in violation of this covenant. Historically, the Board has shown restraint and not litigated these matters, generally only sending letters notifying owners of non-compliance upon receiving a complaint from other homeowners.
"Given the increasing prevalence of covenant violations, future boards may seek to take a more active posture in enforcing covenants. Technically, the Board has the authority to litigate and even collect attorney fees and court costs upon winning a judgment. However, litigation is costly and risky for both parties. The board is considering other avenues of resolution as well.
"Please learn what our covenants are and respect them. They are there to protect the value of everyone's home. If you are currently in non-compliance, please make an attempt to come into compliance. Your neighbors will thank you, and so will your bank account when you sell your home someday."
