Spring has arrived!
Happy Spring! Now is a great time to start thinking about improvements you would like to make to your lot as the weather warms up! Please remember, you will need ACC approval prior to beginning a project on your lot. Please submit your materials early so you have plenty of time to get on your contractors schedule, the ACC has up to 30 days to review requests once materials are submitted. The ACC webpage is a great resource to review what types of projects require approval: https://www.dsirealestate.com/condo-hoa/acc/.
Lawn Maintenance Reminder – once we officially enter mowing season, it is important to ensure your lot meets the CCR requirements of being mowed/maintained at least once every fourteen (14) days, and that the lawn and all landscaping beds are kept free of weeds.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Winter Update
Snowy season is upon us. Vendors have 12 hours to clear HOA maintained areas, after snow fall has stopped. If you notice HOA maintained areas that are not being cleared, please reach out to us at hoa@dsirealestate.com.
If you are not sure what areas are/are not maintained by the HOA, please click the “Documents” button to the right to review the Snow Removal Map.
Homeowners are responsible for snow removal on their individual driveways, walkways, stoop, stairs, etc.
City Street and Alley Snow Removal
The HOA is not responsible for snow removal on the City Streets or Alleys within the Secret Places neighborhood, the City of Madison is. If you have concerns about these areas, you can reach out to the City of Madison via their Report a Problem feature: https://www.cityofmadison.com/reportaproblem/, or by calling 608.246.4532.
