Hulen Heights

What Hulen Heights's governing documents say

Hulen Heights is a single-family home HOA in Edgecliff Village, TX. These documents are corrections and amendments to the community's governing rules — they add specific requirements for landscaping, mailboxes, standby generators, and tree maintenance, and clarify a floor-plan restriction. The full set of rules is not included here.

• Architectural review (ACC): Many exterior changes require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), including replacing grass with ground cover or landscape beds, adding permanent landscape borders, changing mailbox style/color, installing a standby generator, and removing/replacing trees.
• Landscaping & parkways: Parkways (area between sidewalk and street) must be maintained. If grass won't grow, homeowners may replace it with ground cover or a landscaping bed only after ACC approval. Ground cover must fully cover the area when mature and not obstruct sightlines. Landscape borders require ACC approval and must be made of approved materials (e.g., metal edging, mortared stone/brick, concrete). Rock mulch must be commercially sourced, natural beige; white, red, or other colors are not allowed.
• Mailboxes: Mailbox and stand design, color, and location require ACC approval and must meet USPS and city requirements. No signs, art, or decorations are allowed on mailboxes or stands. Specific construction specifications are provided for the stand (4x4 treated wood or cedar, chamfered ends, etc.). Double mailbox stands cannot be separated into singles, and single stands are only allowed where the Post Office designates.
• Standby electric generators: Generators must be fully enclosed, sound-attenuated, and installed per manufacturer specs and codes. Permits from Fort Worth Planning/Development and Fire Department are required, and all electrical/plumbing/fuel line work must be done by licensed contractors. Generators must be screened if visible from the street or neighbors' properties (generally behind privacy fence). Testing allowed only on Wednesdays at 1:00 PM per manufacturer recommendations. Use is restricted to when utility power is unavailable or intermittent (not due to nonpayment).
• Tree maintenance & replacement: Each home is required to have at least two trees in the yard. Homeowners must maintain trees by trimming and thinning canopies (city recommends 14 ft over street, 8 ft over sidewalk). Removal of a parkway tree requires a city permit and ACC approval, and a replacement tree must be planted elsewhere on the lot. Replacement trees must be long-lived deciduous hardwoods, at least 30-gallon / 2–2.75" diameter, and approved by both city forestry and ACC. Corner lots need individual ACC review.
• Floor plan repetition: There must be at least one lot on the same side of the street between houses using the same or substantially the same floor plan (corrected from an earlier error that said two lots).
• What this document doesn't cover: These filings are amendments and corrections only — they do not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) or the complete Community Policies. Missing topics include assessments, leasing restrictions, parking, pets, fences, and enforcement procedures.
