Ranch Road 12 Chip Seal Repair Concern
Many people in the area, up and down RR12 are concerned (or worse, upset) by the TxDOT use of Chip Seal, rather than Hot Mix Asphalt, to repair RR12.
There is now a web site that is dedicated to getting the road repaved with quieter, safer hot mix (like is required by the state at places like the traffic lights by the elementary school and Mercer St.).  Check out the web site by clicking here.

On October 30st, the annual Halloween Party and Hay Rides was held along with a "Motorhead" Show.

Car Show:  Thanks to Charlie Graham for coordinating, although he could not attend for personal reasons.  Rick Thompson, Gayle Bauscher and others helped out to make it a real sight to see.
Thanks to all who participated and let us look at the cars, motorcycles and even a Segway.

Let both Tracy and Charlie, along with all their volunteers know how much you appreciate their efforts.

Park Hours

Due to the occasion of vandalism at the park, especially the pavilion, the Board decided to establish "hours" for the park (that includes the tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts,pavilion, play area, ball field, parking lot, lavs, etc.) 

Henceforth the Park will be open and available for use by residents of Saddletree Ranch and their guests from  Sunrise until 1/2 hour after Sunset.

If a resident has a special event that requires use of the facilities outside of those hours they must request pre-approval so that we (and the sheriff's dept.) know about it.

Clubhouse Rules

• Turn off lights, appliances, heater/AC before leaving.
• Close all cabinets and doors.
• Sweep floors and clean any messes, trash, or stains.
• Remove trash to the outside clubhouse garbage container.
• Move furniture back to its original position.
• Fix or replace any broken items to avoid being charged replacement and service fees for broken or missing items.
• Lock door before leaving.
• A $50 cleaning fee will be charged to residents that do not leave the clubhouse in the same condition prior to their event.
• Smoking is prohibited inside or on the clubhouse porch

Burn Bans

Safe Driving

Many residents in the neighborhood have voiced their concern regarding cars and trucks speeding through the neighborhood. Although the SR POA has no direct authority over such laws the Board took the issue to the Hays County Sheriff.  

Remember that speeding within the neighborhood, especially along Saddletree Lane and in the mailbox area, is dangerous to all. Please report unsafe driving and speeding to your local authorities (county sheriff).
