Creeks Forest Grove

What Creeks Forest Grove's governing documents say

Creeks Forest Grove is a single-family residential subdivision in Lucas, Texas, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The declaration outlines requirements for building and design approval, property maintenance, assessments, and use restrictions.

• Architectural review: All new construction, additions, or exterior modifications (including decks, patios, fences, and structures like gazebos) must submit plans to the Building and Design Committee. The committee has 30 days to approve or disapprove; if no response, approval is deemed granted. Roofing must be tile, standing seam metal, or specialty architectural fiberglass composition with minimum pitch of 10/12 (gables 14/12). Siding must be stone, wood (limited), brick, or stucco (adjacent lots cannot both be stucco unless different design and committee approval). Approval is advisory; homeowner bears full responsibility for compliance.
• Building restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Minimum square footage is required (no smaller than the minimum lot size allowed by local government). Two-story dwellings must have at least 1,500 square feet on the ground level; one-story at least 2,200 square feet. Construction must be substantially completed within 18 months. Temporary structures (trailers, tents, etc.) cannot be used as residences. One sign per lot, max 12 sq ft, for sale or builder's sign during construction.
• Vehicles and parking: No boats, trailers, RVs, trucks, or other vehicles (or parts) may be stored on a lot unless inside a garage or fully enclosed. Temporary outdoor storage is allowed for up to 10 consecutive days, max 3 times per calendar year, with possible exceptions by preapproval.
• Tree preservation: Property owners must retain natural vegetation as much as possible. A tree survey is required before removing any tree 6 inches or more in diameter. If a tree is removed without committee approval, the owner must replace it with a similar tree or pay the association $200 per caliper inch. Failure to pay within 30 days accrues interest and may become a lien.
• Assessments: The association levies annual and special assessments for maintenance of open space, amenities, and enforcement of restrictions. The initial maximum annual assessment must be approved by 70% of lot owners. Special assessments require board approval and two-thirds vote of owners (written notice 30 days in advance). Delinquent assessments incur interest at the maximum legal rate and can result in a lien on the property.
• Membership and voting: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the association. Voting is one vote per lot (multiple owners combine). Developer holds 10 votes per lot until Class A votes equal Class B; then converts to Class A. Meetings require notice. The declaration can be amended by 70% of all lot owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: The document does not address pet restrictions, rental/leasing rules, age restrictions, or specific amenity details (e.g., pool, clubhouse). These may be covered in other governing documents.
