Chapel Hill Dev

What Chapel Hill Dev's governing documents say

This is a set of deed restrictions for Chapel Hill Estates, a single-family residential subdivision in Copper Canyon, Texas. The rules apply to all property owners and govern what you can build, how you can use your land, and what you can keep on it. The document also includes a separate oil and gas unit designation that is not part of the neighborhood rules.

• Residential use only: Lots are for single-family homes only; no trade or business is allowed on the property.
• Building size & materials: Homes must have at least 2,000 square feet of living area (1,200 square feet on the first floor for two-story homes). Exteriors must be at least 75% brick, stone, or approved material. Roofs must be a specific weight and style (Elk-Prestige II, 240# or above, timberline look).
• Setbacks & placement: Homes must be at least 75 feet from the front property line (50 feet on cul-de-sacs) and 25 feet from side and rear lines. Barns and outbuildings must be set back 25 feet from side and rear yards. Garages cannot face the street except on corner lots.
• Architectural review: All building plans must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee before construction. If the committee doesn't respond within 30 days, approval is assumed.
• Vehicles & parking: Trucks over one ton and vehicles with painted advertisements cannot park overnight. Pickups, trailers, campers, boats, and inoperative vehicles must be kept behind the setback line. Vehicles carrying flammable, explosive, or noxious cargo are prohibited.
• Animals & livestock: No livestock or poultry is allowed, but domestic pets are fine. Horses are allowed on large lots (two per 40,000 square feet) with fencing at the back of the lot, but not for commercial purposes.
• Fences & signs: Fences must be chain-link, wood, or split-rail, and cannot be closer to the street than the front of the house. Signs are limited to one small 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign (max 5 square feet) and contractor signs during construction.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is only the deed restrictions; it doesn't include any HOA fees, assessments, or a homeowners association. The later oil and gas unit designation is a separate legal document about mineral rights, not neighborhood rules.
