Click It or Ticket runs through May 31

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE -- The Hot Springs Village Police Department will continue the National Traffic Safety Administration's annual Click It or Ticket program through May 31.

The program is designed to ensure that motorists wear seat belts, which is mandatory for front seat passengers under Arkansas law and is a primary offense, meaning that a motorist can be stopped and fined for violating the seat belt law.

The HSVPD wants to ensure that everyone has a safe Memorial Day weekend, a news release said.

Building on undeveloped

lots will not be permitted

Outbuildings such as garages, storage sheds, workshops, gazebos, or swimming pools will not be permitted on any undeveloped lot in a residential zone, according to a Hot Springs Village Property Owners' Association news release.

The Architectural Control Committee can provide an exception to this rule provided there already exists a private residence and the outbuilding or pool that is being permitted on the adjacent lot is constructed across the property lines of both lots or connected by a wall, which must be approved by ACC.

Private residences can be built on more than one lot provided the foundation crosses the property lines of each adjoining lot. POA dues are required for each lot.
