ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR SUBMISSION OF PLANS FOR APPROVAL BY THE HVAA ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
Compiled and organized January 13, 2019, amended Oct 28, 2019
Notice: Notwithstanding anything following, the Town of Shady Shores Ordinances ALSO must be
followed in the submission of your plans. Make sure you research any and all aspects that pertain to
your project. For example, the Town has regulations on: surface and underground drainage plans,
minimum square footage (2000 sf currently), fences, pools, septic systems, site drainage plans, hangars,
and a myriad of other details.
History and references:
These requirements were authorized by Article I of the HVAA Declaration Covenants and Restrictions
dated March 10, 1968 and the By‐Laws, Article III, section 6, and subsequent revisions noted below.
The Architectural Control Committee was created by Board Resolution on June 15, 1991. All members
are appointed and approved by the Board.
The formal operation outline was approved by the Board of Directors at the Board Meeting on October
9, 1991.
Purpose: as defined in Article I of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions adopted March 10,
1968 and amended May 4, 2007 and March 28, 2009
No erection of buildings or exterior additions to any building situation upon the Corporation
Properties or within the confine of Hidden Valley Airpark is approved without previous approval
by the Board of Directors.
No erection of or changes or additions of fences, hedges, walls, and other structures shall be
commenced until the plans and specifications have been submitted and approved by the
Architectural Control Committee AND the Board of Directors. The nature, kind shape, height,
materials and location of same will be included in writing on the plans. Also, the intent is to keep
in harmony with concern to external design, appearance and locations in relationship to
surrounding structures and topography, and to not affect adjoining properties with drainage
concerns.
The Architectural Control Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible to protect the
owners of lots against such improper use of lots as might depreciate the value of all members of
the property.
To be responsible to preserve, so far as practicable, the natural beauty of said property.
To insure the erection of attractive homes thereon.
In general, to provide adequately for high caliber of quality of improvements in said property,
thereby enhancing the value of investments made by the purchasers of lots therein.

Concerning HVAA Building Setbacks:
If a plan is considered in which any structure intrudes into the platted HVAA lot setbacks, the
following must be considered and implemented as a first step in the building process.
Background: As set forth in the March 28, 2009 Article IV Continuing Covenants and Restrictions,
Section 3, third paragraph:
“No structure, residential or otherwise, shall be located on any lot less than one (1) acre, and
no part of any structure, residential or otherwise, may exist within fifty (50) feet of the property front
and rear boundary, and twenty (20) feet of the side boundaries, except as approved by the Hidden
Valley Airpark Architectural Control Committee, and two‐thirds (2/3) majority of the membership;
that 2/3 must include owners of the immediately adjacent property.”
It is recognized that not all lots were originally platted with the above setbacks; owners must consult
their particular lot survey. Any deviations from the HVAA original platted lot setbacks must be
submitted in advance of any plan submittal to the ACC for review and approval, as they would affect
subsequent lot layout. The required HVAA voting is called the HVAA ‘variance’ process. Note that the
town also has ordinances on required minimum building setbacks; in most cases HVAA will require the
minimum of the town side setback be maintained. All of HVAA is zoned “R2000‐1/2 Residential” with
regard to the Shady Shores zoning regulations.
Process to gain approval for work on any lot or for any addition.
Caveats prior to any work:
Warning: No work on any lot, for any purpose, or for any addition, is to begin (including clearing and
grading and filling land), until and upon approval of the plans by the Architectural Committee, and Town
of Shady Shores. In addition, the Town of Shady Shores requires a Building Permit before any work
commences.
The Architectural Control Committee and Board reserve the right to recommend changes or revisions to
any plans that will affect the Association and neighbors. The plans must be revised to include these
revisions and resubmitted.
Residences must be for single family dwellings.
Allow ample time, minimum of one month, for review of plans and re‐submittal of missing or
incomplete information.
No hand drawn ‘sketches’ accepted.
All submissions of plans and specifications must be in duplicate, one copy for HVAA records and one for
the Town of Shady Shores (after the Board of Directors Approval).
Residences must be constructed prior to or during construction of any hangar.
All ‘no build’ setbacks and easement restrictions must be shown on plans. See ‘HVAA setbacks’ above.

their approval along with an explanatory letter, prior to implementing such changes, either before or
after seeking the town permit.

roadways that provide access to the property. Sod shall extend from visible sides of new
construction a minimum of 50 feet or to the property line if closer than 50’.

foundation. Coverage shall extend to all visible sides of new construction as viewed

like a residential structure.

New Construction Tips
Welcome to Hidden Valley Airpark. We are glad you have decided to join our community. This document is a collection
of tips that you must share with your general contractor, his sub‐contractors, and other contractors/suppliers who
deliver to your lot. Please distribute copies to all your contractors/subcontractors/suppliers.
Deliveries: Large, long loads can be hard to get through the gate on Shady Shores Road, and around the road bends. It is
easier for some deliveries, such as trusses, loads of fill, etc., to enter the airpark using the east gate off of Garza road.
Contact one of the HVAA board members and they can arrange to unlock the east gate.
Label your home site with your house number and have a map or directions that you can give to your contractors. HVAA
does not use standard street/house numbering convention, and sites can be difficult for the uninitiated to find.
Tell your contractor about the 20 MPH speed limit inside the gate and give them the monthly contractor code from the
HVAA members‐only section of the HVAA web site. It changes every month.
Do not allow contractors to access your lot across HVAA common areas or adjacent properties without the permission of
the HVAA board or the adjacent property owner.
NEVER EVER CROSS OR DRIVE ON THE RUNWAY. The runway is in use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Trash: No trash, dirt or construction materials are to be left or dumped anywhere on HVAA common area properties.
Please remove all such leftover materials from the community and dispose of per the town ordinances. No burning or
burying of trash is permitted. Please daily clean or clear any debris you or your subcontractors cause on the adjacent
HVAA roadway, as any debris may cause damage to aircraft on the roadway.
Heavy Equipment: The improved road bed extends beyond the edge of the concrete road bed and must be protected
with timber or large rubble when moving heavy equipment or loads into or out of the lot. Install your ditch culverts early
in the construction process or install temporary culverts to access the site. DO NOT block the bar drainage ditch.
Concrete: Concrete wash out should be done on your lot, or with permission of the HVAA board, the gravel parking area
of the horse pasture. Operators must wash the concrete thoroughly so that the concrete does not set up.
Mailbox: Be sure to install your mailbox at least 25 feet from the centerline of the road and allow adequate space for
delivery persons to access the mailbox. There are many examples in the airpark. Ask around for what people believe has
worked for them.
Taxiing aircraft: Always give way to aircraft. They cannot back up and have the right of way over vehicles at all times.
Back up and keep clear to allow them to pass if necessary.
Parking: All roads in HVAA are active taxiways. Do not block any road at any time within 25 feet of centerline, including
contractor personnel parking‐they must park clear of the 25’ limit, well clear of the pavement. Do not presume no one
will be taxing past your lot.
