Ballpark Estates Condominium

What Ballpark Estates Condominium's governing documents say

Ballpark Estates Townhomes is a gated condominium community in Arlington, TX, where you own your townhome (including its garage and roof) as a condominium unit. This document is a Condominium Information Statement (a Texas disclosure for purchasers), not the full Declaration or Bylaws. It describes the developer, phase plans, parking rules, roof maintenance duties, insurance responsibilities, and association structure.

• Parking & vehicles: Each townhome has a 2-car attached garage (some side-by-side, some tandem). The garage must be actively used for residents' vehicles. Oversized vehicles that don't fit must be parked off-site. A limited number of uncovered guest spaces exist for short-term visitor use only; residents cannot regularly use them without association consent.
• Roof maintenance: Each owner is responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing all components of their own roof and roof terrace. Owners may not enclose the roof, change its appearance, or cover the roof terrace. The association insures the building structure but may assign insurance deductibles to owners for roof-related claims.
• Insurance coverage: The association carries property insurance on all townhome buildings (required because some units are stacked). This does not cover personal property, liability inside units or on roof terraces, upgrades, or betterments. Owners must obtain their own policies for those exposures and are strongly encouraged to get individual roof coverage.
• Water billing: Water is sub-metered per townhome if available; otherwise, the association may bill equally or allocate by another method. Wastewater is billed similarly. Residents pay directly for electricity and gas, which are individually metered.
• Association & management: The association is 'Owners of Ballpark Estates Association, Inc.' During the Declarant Control Period (ends 120 days after 75% of units sold or when Declarant deems the association viable), Declarant appoints the board. Initially managed by Somerset Association Management.
• Development rights & future phases: Declarant may add up to 29 additional townhomes (total 51) during a 25-year Development Period, with rights to annex property, modify plans, and control architecture. During this period, Declarant can unilaterally amend the Declaration for limited purposes and is exempt from certain fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a disclosure statement, not the full governing documents (Declaration, Bylaws, Community Rules are attached as exhibits but not provided here). It does not specify lease restrictions (e.g., minimum term), pet limits, noise rules, or other day-to-day homeowner obligations. Refer to the actual Declaration and Rules for those details.
