If you are selecting new exterior colors for your home, complete and submit a Design Review and Exterior Color Selection form (available on the website or in the Town Office). Completed forms with paint chips can be dropped off at the Town Office any time.  Please allow 10 working days for this process. If you are painting your home using the existing colors (not changing anything), you do not need approval.

Temporary U.S. Flags may be mounted in flagpole holders attached to the front walls of a residential structure.  Temporary U.S. Flags must be removed from display by sundown of such display date to comply with U.S. Flag courtesies, procedures and etiquette. Such flags must be in good condition and any faded or torn flags must be replaced.  No banners or flags are permitted that advertise any commercial product or entity.* Seasonal flags must be removed within an appropriate time frame (Policy 1500, Idaho Code 55-115, United States Code Title 4, Section 1). Permanent flagpoles for the purpose of displaying the flag of the United States of America, the State of Idaho, the POW/MIA flag, or an official or replica flag of any branch of the United States Armed Forces may be temporarily or permanently displayed on a flagpole per the guidelines outlined in Policy 1500 and in accordance with Idaho Code 55-115.

With the day before and day of trash pick-up being the exception, a CC&R Violation Notice will be issued if your trash cans are left in the street, alley and/or not properly screened.  Trash cans need to be stored in the garage or screened from view by fencing, walls or planting and integrated into the building design (requires TDRB approval).  Refer to CC&R Section 6.5 Nuisances for the entire list of nuisances and section 2.15 Exterior Service Areas/Satellite Dishes in the Residential Design Guidelines which also prohibits the placement of un-screened garbage cans. 

Per the governing documents, improvements require design review as set forth in the Residential Design Guidelines, Section 5.0. This is not a new process or procedure and has been a requirement since the governing documents were drafted in 1997. Town Design Review Board meetings are held monthly. Review dates and forms can be found on the website and/or emailed upon request. Submissions are due the Friday before the Wednesday meeting. Improvements include but are not limited to the following:

The HOA is now utilizing AME Electric for the community’s street light service and repair.  The HSTA conducts a monthly inspection and reports any street lights in need of repair to AME.  If you notice a bulb out or damaged fixture, please email the information and location to hsta@hiddensprings.com.  As a ballast or bulb goes out, AME will be retrofitting the fixtures to LED.  LEDs are up to 50 percent more energy efficient than the high-pressure sodium bulb and are rated for 40,000-hour average life, conserving energy and saving the HOA money in the long term.  LEDs also provide better street lighting, improve visibility and are Dark Sky compliant.

Hidden Springs Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Boise School District fortunate enough to have a tennis courts on school property. Principal Thaemert asked the Town Office to remind residents that the tennis courts are on school district property. Over the years, Principal Thaemert and Boise School District have been more than happy to share the courts with the community neighborhood.  Just like the other school facility buildings and grounds they are not open for public use during general school hours (8:00am-4:00pm) or when being used for a school sanctioned event, like a track meet, school carnival, etc. They currently have only one net up because during COVID they have been using the space for alternate school activities. The other net was destroyed due to vandalism.  They hope to have both nets up and ready for use by the school and community early Fall 2021.

If you are operating a drone, please be aware of your surroundings, familiarize yourself with drone laws in Idaho (Ada County Ordinance No. 883//2018) and respect your neighbors’ right to privacy.  Flying a drone over private property can be construed as video voyeurism and/or disturbing the peace.  If you see a drone hovering over your property or a neighbor’s property, at a window or following a person, please call the Ada County Sheriff’s non-emergency line @ 208-377-6790. Ada County Ordinance No. 883 // 2018: This ordinance requires anyone flying a drone, regardless of the drone’s weight or intended use, in Ada County to register their drone with the FAA. The ordinance also states that drones should not be operated in a way that would cause damage to people or property, nor should drones be used for the purpose of capturing a person’s visual image, audio recording, or other physical impression in any place where the person would have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
