Vineyard Heights Pblc/Re

What Vineyard Heights Pblc/Re's governing documents say

Vineyard Heights is a single-family home subdivision in Keene, TX, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that all lot owners automatically join. The CC&Rs set strict standards for home size (minimum 2,200 sq ft living area), materials (70% stone or brick exterior), and require a two-car enclosed garage. Owners pay regular assessments and must get architectural approval for any exterior changes or tree removal.

• Residential use only: Each lot and unit must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. No commerce, industry, or business is allowed except for permitted home occupations or builder sales activities for limited periods.
• Minimum home size & design: Every residence must have at least 2,200 square feet of living space (excluding garages, porches). One-and-a-half-story, split level, or two-story units must have at least 1,500 sq ft on the ground floor. All units require a two-car enclosed garage that cannot face the street without architectural committee approval.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay regular assessments set by the HOA board, due annually on February 1. Special group assessments may be levied with two-thirds member vote. Unpaid assessments incur 18% interest and a lien on the lot, enforceable by foreclosure. Assessments for 2002-2003 were capped at $450 per lot.
• Architectural review: Any construction, alteration, or landscaping (including tree removal of 4-inch caliper or greater) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The committee can impose conditions to preserve trees and aesthetics. Exterior materials must be at least 70% stone or brick, and roofs must have a 7/12 minimum pitch.
• Parking & vehicles: Boats, RVs, campers, and similar vehicles must be stored in a garage or on a paved rear area not visible from the street. Trucks over 1-ton capacity cannot be parked overnight on streets or common areas. Motorcycles and dirt bikes must have mufflers and can only operate on the owner's lot.
• Fences & signs: Fences in front of the residence must be steel bar, pipe, wood, brick, or stone; chain-link and wire mesh alone are prohibited. Privacy fences allowed only around pools, patios, or along rear lot lines. Signs are limited to one 6 sq ft 'For Sale' sign per lot; builder and declarant signs are permitted temporarily.
• Tree preservation: Removing any living tree of 4-inch caliper or greater requires committee approval. No trees within 40 feet of the west line of Lots 27 and 28 may be cut or removed. Initial lot clearing is allowed but does not waive these restrictions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This CC&R does not address age restrictions, rental minimum terms, or pet limits. It also does not cover condominium ownership or shared common element maintenance beyond the HOA's responsibility for common areas (streets, Lot 9 amenities).
