What R P Estes's governing documents say
This document is not a typical homeowner association rulebook. It records restrictive covenants imposed by the City of Arlington as part of a FEMA mitigation grant program for floodplain lots in the R.P. Estes Subdivision (Arlington, TX). The covenants require that these lots remain as undeveloped open space in perpetuity and severely limit any construction, use, or eligibility for federal disaster assistance or flood insurance. The rules bind the property itself, not individual residents, though future owners must comply.
- Open space requirement: The property must be dedicated and maintained as open space in perpetuity to preserve natural floodplain functions. Allowed uses include parks, recreation, wetlands, and similar uses that do not involve permanent structures.
- Prohibited structures: No new structures or improvements may be erected except for a public facility that is open on all sides and functionally related to open space or recreation, a public restroom, or a compatible structure approved in writing by FEMA. Any allowed structure must be floodproofed or elevated to at least the base flood level plus 1 foot of freeboard.
- Disaster assistance & flood insurance: The property is not eligible for any federal disaster assistance (including FEMA grants) after the property settlement date, and structures on the property cannot be covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for damage occurring after settlement.
- Inspection & reporting: FEMA, its representatives, or the state may enter the property at reasonable times with notice to inspect compliance. The grantee (City of Arlington) must submit a compliance report every three years to FEMA.
- Transfer & enforcement: The grantee may convey the property to a qualified conservation entity but must incorporate the original deed restrictions. The state and FEMA may enforce the covenants, including requiring transfer of title if the property is not maintained as open space.
