Cliffs Addition

What Cliffs Addition's governing documents say

The Cliffs Addition (Keene, TX) is a subdivision of 39 residential lots governed by deed restrictions recorded in 1975. These restrictions are binding on all lot owners and aim to maintain uniformity and stability in the development. There is no homeowners' association; enforcement is by individual lawsuits.

• Residential use & building requirements: All lots are for residential purposes only. No structure may exceed two stories or contain less than 2,000 square feet of floor area (excluding garage, porch, or breezeway). At least 80% of exterior walls must be stone, masonry, or glass building material.
• Architectural review (expired): No construction may begin until plans and specifications are approved by a Plans Committee (composed of two named individuals). The committee's approval must be in writing; if no action within 30 days, approval is deemed given. However, the committee's powers ceased as of January 22, 1995, so this requirement may no longer be enforceable.
• Temporary structures & trailers: No trailer, basement, tent, garage, barn, or outbuilding may be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently. No trailer longer than 10 feet may be parked on a lot, and no temporary structures are allowed.
• Prohibited uses & nuisances: The sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on any lot. No lot may be used as a nightclub or for gambling. No oil, gas, mining, or quarrying operations are permitted. No lot may be used as a dumping ground; trash must be kept in sanitary containers.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets may be kept, but not raised, bred, or maintained for commercial purposes.
• Fences & sight lines: On corner lots, fences, hedges, or shrubbery that obstruct sight lines between 2 and 6 feet above the roadway are prohibited within a triangular area defined by street property lines and a line connecting points 25 feet from their intersection. Similar restrictions apply near driveway or alley intersections. No fence may be built beyond the front building line. Lots 1 and 39 are excluded from this restriction.
• Easements: The dedicators reserved perpetual easements on, under, and over the lots and streets as shown on the plat for utility purposes, with the right to enter and maintain installations. No building may be erected over a reserved easement.
• Enforcement: Violations may be enforced by legal proceedings to restrain violation or recover damages. Invalidation of any one covenant does not affect the others.
