Creek View Addn

What Creek View Addn's governing documents say

Creek View Addition is a standard single-family home subdivision in Lewisville, TX, governed by deed restrictions and a homeowners association (HOA). Each lot is for one single-family dwelling with a minimum of 1,900 heated square feet. The HOA maintains the road and enforces rules; annual assessments were set at $200 per lot (as of a 2007 amendment).

• What you can build: Only one single-family dwelling per lot, max 2 stories, with a private garage (side or rear entry) and up to two accessory buildings. Minimum home size: 1,900 sq ft of air-conditioned, heated area (excluding porches and garages). Exterior materials must be brick, stone, wood, or approved by the Architectural Control Committee. No modular or prefabricated homes; all must be site-built. Accessory buildings cannot exceed 1/3 of main residence square footage and cannot be rented or used as permanent dwellings.
• Architectural review: All construction, fences, and exterior changes require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must show color, materials, dimensions, and location. The ACC initially consists of the developer's officers, but after 50% of lots are sold to non-developers, it is appointed by a majority of lot owners. Exceptions to restrictions need ACC approval plus 75% of all property owners.
• Land use and activities: Lots are for residential use only; no commercial or professional businesses inviting the public. No noxious activities, oil drilling, or mining. No subdivision of lots without 75% approval (Lots 7-11 can never be subdivided). No dumping, and lots must be kept mowed and weed-free.
• Animals: One large animal (horse or cattle) per 1.5 acres allowed; no swine, goats, poultry, or ratites. Domestic animals: max 3 dogs or 2 cats, not for commercial breeding. Animals must stay on owner's property.
• Parking and vehicles: No inoperable or unused vehicles stored on property. RVs, campers, boats, and infrequently used vehicles must be kept behind buildings and not visible from the road. Driveways must be at least gravel and well-drained. No street parking for these vehicles.
• Signs and antennas: Only one for-sale sign allowed, max 2x2 feet. No advertising signs. No radio, TV (except towers up to 12 ft behind buildings), short-wave antennas, or satellite dishes visible from road; satellite dishes must be in approved areas. Exposed propane/butane tanks must be buried or behind buildings, not visible from road.
• HOA and assessments: Each lot owner automatically a member; one vote per lot. The Board has 6 directors elected annually. Regular assessments were $200 per lot per year (as of 2007 amendment) and can be increased by the Board. Assessments fund maintenance of Stags Leap Road. The Board can levy special assessments and file liens for nonpayment.
• What this document doesn't cover: These deed restrictions do not cover age restrictions, rental limitations (except that accessory buildings cannot be rented), pet limits beyond dogs/cats, or any community amenities like pools or clubhouses. The text is specific to lots 1-12 (or 1-11) in Creek View Addition and may have been amended; the overview reflects the latest recorded version (2010) but cross-references with earlier documents.
