Briarmeade

What Briarmeade's governing documents say

Briarmeade is a single-family home subdivision in Lavon, TX, governed by restrictive covenants that run with the land. The covenants set construction standards, use restrictions, and maintenance obligations for all lot owners, with architectural review required for most exterior changes.

• Construction & Architecture: Minimum living area: 2,200 sq ft (some lots 2,400). Setbacks: 7.5 ft from side property lines, building lines from plat. Roof materials limited to wood shingle, copper, slate, tile, concrete tile, composition (min 320-330 lb/sq), or tar/gravel; composition roofs must be natural wood color; minimum pitch 7:12. Exterior walls must follow City of Plano code. All construction requires Architectural Control Committee approval.
• Landscaping & Maintenance: Grass, weeds, and vegetation must be mowed regularly to maintain a neat appearance. If not, the developer or Plan Committee may mow and charge the owner (no lien created).
• Parking & vehicles: Trucks over 1 ton or with painted advertisements cannot park overnight on streets or within the addition. Recreational vehicles (boats, campers, motor homes) must be stored at the rear of the lot and completely shielded from streets; they cannot be used as residences or offices.
• Pets: Household pets (dogs, cats) are allowed but limited to types and numbers that are not unreasonably noisy or odor-causing; no commercial breeding.
• Signs & Antennas: Only one sign advertising sale of property, max 2x3 ft. Antennas limited to AM/FM and UHF/VHF reception, must not be visible from adjacent streets.
• Fences: Chain-link fences prohibited. Fences must be wood or masonry, max 7 ft high. On certain lots adjacent to Park Boulevard, additional restrictions apply (no fence within 5 ft of screening wall without approval).
• Use Restrictions: Lots are single-family residential only. No apartments, duplexes, hotels, businesses, temporary structures, or oil/mining operations. No building material storage until construction starts. No individual water/sewer systems unless meeting health authority standards.
• Duration & Amendments: Covenants run for 25 years from recording, auto-renew for successive 10-year periods unless terminated by 75% of lot owners. Until half the lots are sold, the developer may amend; after that, 75% owner approval required.
