Coppenger Place

What Coppenger Place's governing documents say

Coppenger Place is a single-family residential subdivision in Godley, Texas, governed by a homeowners association (Coppenger Place Homeowners Association, Inc.). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) establishes the rules for all lots and common areas, and applies to all current and future property owners. The association is responsible for maintaining common areas and enforcing the restrictions, with the developer (Declarant) retaining control for up to 15 years after recording.

• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, or improvements visible from a street or common area require written approval from the Declarant or Board. Applications must include two sets of plans, and the Board has 45 days to respond; if no response, the owner may proceed (deemed approval) but only if no variance is needed. Interior remodeling and repainting with the approved color scheme do not require approval. The Board may deny plans on aesthetic grounds and may grant variances in writing.
• Property use restrictions: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. The Association may adopt rules governing occupancy, leasing, animals, vehicles, trash, landscaping, and other activities. The Board can suspend use of common areas for rule violations or unpaid assessments.
• Easements & access: Each lot is subject to a 5-foot perimeter screening easement for fences or walls, and utility easements as shown on the plat. The Association has a right of entry onto lots for inspection, maintenance, and enforcement after reasonable notice (or immediately in emergencies). Owners have an easement to use common areas and roads for ingress/egress.
• Common areas & amenities: Common areas include entrances, landscaping, screening features, and any areas shown on the plat. The Association may modify common areas without amending the Declaration. Owners and their guests may use common areas, but the Association assumes no liability for injuries or property loss. Maintenance of common areas is the Association’s responsibility.
• Building & development: A Development Period of up to 10 years (or until all lots are built) gives Declarant the right to direct construction and marketing. A Declarant Control Period lasts until all lots are sold to non-builder owners, up to 15 years. During this time, Declarant appoints a majority of the Board.
• Construction restrictions: The document references separate 'Construction Related Restrictions' (Exhibit C) with additional rules on materials and design. These may be amended by a 67% vote of HOA members. In case of conflict, the most restrictive instrument (Declaration, Construction Restrictions, or Plat) controls.
• Security disclaimer: The Association and Declarant are not providers or guarantors of security. Owners assume all risks for personal safety and property loss, and the Association is not liable for inadequate security measures.
