Meryl Kearns, Communications Committee Chair at hackberrycomm@yahoo.com and we will forward along to Nancy Miller. The deadline is Monday at noon!

Have a great weekend everyone!

YOUR TOLL TAG INFO NEEDED ASAP!

In order to prepare for the installation of RFID Readers, we will need your Toll Tag information. Once the system is operational, access through the gates will happen automatically if you have a registered Toll Tag. For those without a Toll Tag, other options will be available. We need your Toll Tag information as soon as possible!

You must register as a member on the website first in order to access the Toll Tag registration form. Click the green "HOW TO REGISTER" button near the bottom of this email, follow the instructions, then once registered, go to the HOMEOWNER tab, then select TOLL TAG REGISTRATION to submit your information.

After you initially register for the website please check your SPAM folder in case the email verification request ended up there. Before you can log-in, you must verify your email. If you have any issues please contact the office at 972-401-4946

Why is it so important you submit your Toll Tag info now through the website?

Once the Toll Tag readers are installed and operating (expecting NLT June 1) we will do a one-time download of all previously submitted Toll Tag info into the controllers. The Toll Tag submission form on the website automatically formats the info for the download so its quick and easy and can be completed in a matter of minutes.

After that one-time download, your form submissions will need to be transferred one by one (manually keyed-in) by the office staff into GateKey which will be a very lengthy and time-consuming process. We have thousands of vehicles in the neighborhood so please register your Toll Tags now to prevent a delay later!

4TH OF JULY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Jennifer Olgin is looking for volunteers to assist with the Hackberry Creek July 4th event. If you can help in any way, please reach out to her at:

DID YOU KNOW?

Artificial Turf in Front or Side Yards is Not Permitted in Hackberry Creek

The Hackberry Creek Design Guidelines v5.0 - Section 3(F) 1.h says: Front and side yards shall be solid sod as approved by the VACC if not in shrub beds.

Although Las Colinas may allow artificial turf in other parts of the LCA, the Hackberry Creek Design Guidelines do not allow it in our community.

Parking Perpendicular to Curbs Not Allowed

All vehicles parking in the Village should be parked parallel to the curb, whether along a street or in a cul-de-sac and in the direction of normal traffic flow.

Beginning June 1st the Association will begin strictly enforcing parking and those vehicles improperly parked will receive notices.

Improper parking in cul-de-sacs impedes traffic flow and turn-around ability for emergency vehicles.
