Spring Willow Properties

What Spring Willow Properties's governing documents say

This is a set of restrictive covenants for Timber Creek Estates, a single-family detached home subdivision in Johnson County, TX. They are binding on all current and future property owners. The covenants cover land use, construction standards, and property maintenance, with an Architectural Control Committee overseeing compliance.

• Land use & occupancy: Each lot is limited to one single-family detached dwelling, for residential use only. No trade or business is allowed.
• Construction requirements: Construction must be completed within six months of starting. Minimum heated square footage ranges from 1,700 to 2,000 sq. ft. depending on the lot. Exterior walls must be at least 80% masonry, stone, stucco, brick, or glass. Roofs must have a minimum 8/12 pitch and use specified materials.
• Pets & livestock: Dogs and cats are allowed as household pets, confined to the owner's lot. On certain lots (Block 2, Lots 28-29, and others), up to two horses are permitted; otherwise, no livestock, poultry, or swine.
• Vehicles & storage: One boat and one motor home or travel trailer may be regularly stored behind a stockade fence, screened from view. Garage openings must be at the side or rear and accommodate at least two cars. Driveways must be concrete.
• Architectural review: No structure may be built or altered without prior approval of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted 30 days before construction; if the ACC does not respond within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. The ACC may grant variances on a per-lot basis.
• Maintenance & nuisances: Lots must be kept clean and free of trash. Grass and weeds may not exceed unsightly height. The developer or association may remove trash or cut weeds after seven days' notice and charge the owner. No noxious, offensive, or dangerous activities allowed.
• Covenant term & enforcement: The covenants run for 30 years from the date of recording (1998), automatically renewing for successive 10-year periods unless two-thirds of owners vote to change them. Individual owners may enforce via legal action.
