Homeowners who have been approved for Visitor Parking Permits need to come pick up their stickers ASAP. We still have over 10 homeowners who have not paid and gotten their stickers.
One final warning will be placed on vehicles in the visitor lots that we know belong to owners or tenants and these vehicles will be towed beginning next week.
More than ample warnings have been given since 2014, so you cannot honestly say you are unaware that you cannot park there. Signs have been up for many years stating the Visitor lots are for Visitors Only. We have already notified Excalibur Towing and will be ready to begin towing these unauthorized vehicles.
We still have Permits available for those who meet the qualifications. Come to the Office and fill out an application form.
There will be no trash pickup on Labor Day, September 7th. We will pick up trash on Tuesday, September 8th.
The Pool will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday, September 1st and 2nd. It will be open from Friday, September 4th to Monday, September 7th.
The 2015 Pool season ends on Labor day; it will remain closed from September 8th until the 2016 pool season opening day.
We have some chemical maintenance to do on the pool today, so it will remain closed. We hope to have it open again on Saturday.
We have had only 5 homeowners who were approved for Parking Permits actually come into the Office to pay for and pick up their Permit stickers. Another 12-14 were sent their Approval letter almost 2 weeks ago and have not been in to pay and pick up their stickers.
We have given ample warnings since 2014 and will do one final warning for those vehicles which continually abuse the visitor lots. Starting in September, we will tow those vehicles which do not have a visible parking permit and/or violate the parking policy for the Visitor Lots. This is what will be placed on offending vehicles:
This vehicle is parked on the Private Property of the Grand Prairie Mountain Creek HOA, Inc. (the Association) and is in a Visitor Parking Only lot. Unless you are an actual Visitor to the property, you are not authorized to park in this lot.
The Association has sent out notices since April 2014 advising all homeowners/residents that their cars will be towed if they park their vehicles in the Visitor Parking Only lots. Signs are also posted in this regard.
This will be your final warning. Continuing to park your vehicle(s) in visitor parking will result in towing at your expense.
We are changing the Pool hours for Tuesday and Wednesday to 1PM – 8PM.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday hours will remain the same.
Please remember that water restrictions still exist and that the City will enforce them with fines. We still see people hosing off their driveways/carports daily, with water trailing down the street. This is irresponsible and violates the restrictions.
Here are the current restrictions:

We have installed several Pet Stations around the subdivision as a test to see if people will use them, and in an effort to control the amount of dog feces we have all over the complex. Not picking up after your dog(s) on common property could result in a citation from Animal Control, and/or a fine from the HOA.
Each station includes bags and a covered trash can for pet waste. Please use them.
We will be sending out Letters of Determination today to those who have applied for the Visitor Parking Permits. The majority of applicants were approved, a few will be denied for not meeting qualifications. Those who are approved need to visit the Office to fill out a Vehicle information sheet and pick up their Parking stickers.
