Yard Sale Dates
Hurricane Creek homeowners are invited to hold a yard sale / garage sale the last Saturday in September and the last Saturday in April.
Backyard Sheds are Not Allowed in Hurricane Creek
Neighborhood covenants prohibit the erecting of sheds on residential properties, even in the backyard, even if it matches the house in appearance, color, and so forth.
Several homeowners, if not many, 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.

Speeding Issues
Some residents expressed concern over cars speeding in the subdivision. The highest speed limit in the subdivision is 30 mph; some areas are limited to 25 mph.
In the county, speed bumps are not allowed, according to Commissioner Henry. Speed rumble strips are allowed, but often create another problem - unwanted noise.
In the city, 2/3rds of nearby residents must agree on placing rumble strips or speed bumps.
If you spot reckless driving, call 698-2525 in the city or 622-0022 in the county. Try to get a license plate and description of the vehicle.

Off-Road Vehicles Belong Off the Road!
Dirt bikes. ATVs. Golf Carts. Riding lawn mowers. These are some of many types of off-road vehicles that are not permitted to be driven on county or city roads. When they are, it is often the case that the riders are underage, unlicensed, unhelmeted, and uninsured. Please do not let your kids be part of the problem. Yes, we live in a hilly subdivision without sidewalks. But that is no excuse to take the law into your own hands.
Lieutenant Newman of the Sheriff's Department says that our neighborhood is patrolled twice per shift. If you see off-road vehicles on the roads, please call 311 if you are in the city, or 622-0022 if you live in the county. If you know where the rider lives, please give that information as well. You need not give your name.
