Fossil Lake III Homeowner's Assocation

What Fossil Lake III Homeowner's Assocation's governing documents say

Fossil Lake III is a standard single-family homeowner's association (HOA) in the Blue Mound/Arlington, TX area. These rules apply to all lot owners and residents. They cover property use, building standards, and neighborhood upkeep. Additional individual lot declarations (not summarized here) primarily contain arbitration clauses that expire 15 years after the lot's purchase.

• Residential use only: All lots must be used solely for residential purposes.
• Minimum building size & materials: Each detached home must have at least 1,400 square feet of enclosed living space (excluding porches, garages, outbuildings). At least 50% of exterior wall area below the first-floor plate line must be brick, stone, or other masonry (excluding windows and gables).
• Prohibited structures & outbuildings: Trailers, mobile homes, modular homes, tents, and campers are not allowed as dwellings. Temporary structures require developer permission and must be removed within 30 days after construction ends.
• Fences & boundary plantings: Fences or walls above a certain height (height not specified in excerpt) are not permitted without approval. Any encroachment onto adjoining property must be removed upon request.
• Animals: Only domestic animals kept for companionship are allowed; no commercial or livestock animals (e.g., horses, cows, pigs, chickens) are permitted. Quantities are limited to what a private family would normally keep.
• Vehicles & parking: Trailers, campers, boats, and inoperable vehicles must not be left on the street or within the front yard.
• Antennas & signs: No antenna or aerial may be placed on a lot without a dwelling. Signs are restricted: only builder signs during construction, security signs approved by developer, and possibly others (details unclear).
• Nuisance & offensive activity: No noxious or offensive activities may be carried out on any lot. Rubbish must be kept in sanitary containers; incinerators are subject to regulations.
