Eden Glen Estates Owners Association

What Eden Glen Estates Owners Association's governing documents say

Eden Glen Estates is a single-family home HOA in Arlington, TX, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and a Specifications SourceBook. This document is the Specifications SourceBook, which compiles the detailed rules for construction, fences, landscaping, use, and rentals that apply to homeowners and residents. It is a partial document—it does not contain the full Declaration, but it is the primary rulebook for day-to-day living.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes, including construction, fences, landscaping, and paint, require prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC can grant variances, and its approval is independent of city permits.
• Construction & exterior standards: Homes must be single-family detached dwellings with at least 65% masonry exterior, a two-car attached garage, and a roof with a 20-year warranty. Factory-built homes are prohibited, and construction must be completed within 12 months. Driveways must be concrete; carports are prohibited in front yards.
• Fences: Fences must be 6 feet high (up to 8 feet with ARC approval), made of wood (spruce or cedar), and cannot be painted or stained with opaque colors. The 'good side' must face streets, and barbed wire and chain link are prohibited.
• Landscaping & yard maintenance: Front yards must be sodded and irrigated, with at least 21 shrubs (specific sizes and quantities). Lawns must be kept 3-5 inches tall, and all yards must be neat and free of debris. Initial landscaping must be completed within 90 days for street-facing areas and 6 months for the rest.
• Use restrictions: The document lists many use restrictions, including limits on accessory structures, air conditioners (no front yard units), business use, garage sales, signs, vehicles, and yard art. It also prohibits firearms, fireworks, and excessive noise or odors.
• Leasing & rentals: Rental restrictions are covered in Chapter G, but the excerpt does not include the specific terms. Owners must comply with the rental restrictions, and the association has a role in qualifying occupants.
• Resource conservation: Composting is allowed with ARC approval, subject to size and location rules. Rain barrels and solar installations are also addressed, but details are not in the excerpt.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the Specifications SourceBook, not the full Declaration. It does not include the Declaration's sections on assessments, voting, or the association's powers, nor does it contain the complete rental restrictions (Chapter G) or the full use restrictions list.
