Glen Springs

What Glen Springs's governing documents say

Glen Springs Addition is a single-family detached home subdivision in Arlington, TX, governed by deed restrictions (covenants) originally recorded in 1977/78. These covenants run with the land and bind all owners, automatically renewing every 10 years after 2008 unless changed by a majority vote of lot owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family detached home. The covenants do not create an HOA with common areas or mandatory assessments; enforcement is by other lot owners or by the developer's successor.
• Architectural review: Before building or altering any structure, plans and a plot plan must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (originally Frederick E. Roach, John Summitt, H.C. Sanders) to ensure conformity and harmony of external design. Approval is deemed given if no action within 30 days and no lawsuit before completion.
• Setbacks & lot use: No building closer than 15 feet to the front lot line or 4 feet to an interior side lot line. On corner lots with side-street driveways, garages must be set back 10 feet from the side street property line.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or household pets may be kept, but not bred, maintained, or kept for commercial purposes. No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised, bred, or kept otherwise.
• Signs: No signs visible from the public view except one professional sign of not more than 5 square feet advertising the property for sale or rent, plus signs used by the builder during construction and sales.
• Fences & walls: No fence from the front of the dwelling toward the street except ornamental fences integrated with the structure; a fence may be built from the dwelling to the rear, not exceeding 6 feet in height.
• Trash & storage: No lot may be used as a dumping ground. Trash, garbage, or waste must be kept only in sanitary containers. Garbage cans must be stored at the rear of the house except on collection days.
• Commercial activity: No noxious or offensive trade or activity is permitted, nor anything that may become an annoyance to the neighborhood.
