What Marine Creek Meadows Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This document is an Architectural Standards Bulletin for Marine Creek Meadows, a single-family homeowners association in Fort Worth, TX. It outlines rules for home construction, exterior modifications, and landscaping. Homeowners must get prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for most changes. This bulletin does not contain the full CC&Rs; it focuses only on design and maintenance standards.

• Architectural review process: No building, fence, or other structure may be erected or altered without submitting plans to the ACC for approval. The ACC considers harmony of design, materials, and location. Homeowners must also obtain city permits.
• Setbacks & site layout: Buildings must be set back at least 20 feet from the front lot line (the text reads 'twenty feet (30')' but likely a typo; we report as written). Each lot must have a garage for 2-3 cars. Driveways must meet city standards, and joint-use driveways are prohibited.
• Fences & walls: New fences require ACC approval. Allowed materials: masonry, brick, wood, or other approved material. Wood fences visible from the street must have the finished side out. Corner lot fences must also have finished side out. No more than two gates per lot, and side yard gates are not permitted on the street side.
• Pools & outbuildings: Portable or above ground pools are prohibited (except children's play pools under 8' diameter). Above ground spas/hot tubs are acceptable if screened from public view. Only one outbuilding (max 100 sq ft, 8' high) and one child's playhouse (max 10' high) are allowed per lot, and only if the lot is fully fenced.
• Landscaping & trees: Front and side yards not enclosed by privacy fencing must be fully sodded with Bermuda or St. Augustine grass. Each lot must maintain at least one tree of 4" caliper. A permanent automatic irrigation system is required. No artificial turf or colored mulch as substitutes for lawn.
• Roofing & exterior materials: Roof slope must be at least 8/12 unless ACC approves otherwise. Roofing must be fiberglass composition shingles (min 25-year life) in earth/weather wood tones; no metal roofs unless approved. Exterior walls must be at least 75% brick, stone, or masonry. No aluminum siding.
• Holiday decorations & signs: Holiday displays may be erected between November 15 and January 15 without ACC approval; large/unusual displays require approval. Signs are limited: one professional sign (max 1 sq ft) and one real estate sign (max 5 sq ft). Political signs allowed 90 days before an election, must be removed 10 days after.
• What this document doesn't cover: This bulletin does not address leasing restrictions, pet limits, assessments, age restrictions, or other common HOA rules. Those are likely in the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (not provided here).
