What Belclaire Residential Community's governing documents say

Belclaire Residential Community is a single-family homeowners' association (HOA) in Keene, TX. This document is an ancillary set of rules specifically for above-ground pools, not the full governing documents. It applies only to homeowners seeking to install an above-ground pool on their lot.

• Approval process (two stages): First, you must submit an Architectural Request Form via the VCM portal (or mail) for conditional approval, including pictures, composition, size, depth, shape, and a plot map showing the proposed location. After conditional approval, you must submit copies of city permits and proof of homeowner's insurance with a pool endorsement; then a final site inspection by the Architectural Review Committee is required for final approval.
• Pool construction requirements: Pools must be hard-sided with a supporting frame. Soft-sided, inflatable pools with PVC piping are not allowed. Small inflatable pools under 24 inches that are taken down same day are exempt. Pools must be professionally installed. No above-ground decking around the top edge is permitted.
• Landscaping and visibility: If your yard faces a greenbelt or park, you must plant evergreen shrubs to mask the view of the pool from the common area.
• Insurance and liability: You must provide a copy of your homeowner's insurance policy showing a pool endorsement to protect neighboring properties from damage. You are solely responsible for any damages caused by your pool; the HOA, board, and committee members are not liable.
• City permits and compliance: You must obtain all necessary permits and inspections from the City of Cleburne. Failure to do so may result in stop-work orders, fines, or removal orders at your own cost. The HOA is not responsible for any costs or penalties.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document only addresses above-ground pool rules. It does not cover other HOA rules, such as architectural standards for other structures, pet policies, parking, leasing, or general community amenities. Refer to the full CCRs and other governing documents for those.
