Knotts Landing on Cardinal Road

What Knotts Landing on Cardinal Road's governing documents say

Knotts Landing on Cardinal Road is a single-family home HOA in Mansfield, Texas. You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas and enforces rules. All lots are for single-family residential use only, with a minimum 2,000 sq ft air-conditioned floor area and exterior walls that must be 100% brick or stone (unless ACC approves alternatives).

• Assessments (fees): Annual Regular Assessments are set by the Board, initially a maximum of $600 per lot per year. Increases cannot exceed 50% over the previous year without member approval. Late fees ($25 returned check charge) and interest (default rate) apply. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and can be foreclosed.
• Architectural review (ACC): All exterior improvements (homes, fences, driveways, etc.) must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans for homes must be custom-built and unique; no two homes may have the same elevation within three lots. Exterior materials must be approved by the ACC and the City.
• Building and lot standards: Minimum floor area of 2,000 sq ft (air-conditioned, excluding garage/porches). Exterior walls must be 100% brick, stone, or City/ACC-approved material. All homes must have a garage for at least two cars. Driveways must be concrete (or ACC-approved). Utility lines must be buried; all equipment screened.
• Fences: Side and back yard fences: 4-6 ft high, made of wood or composite, solid board-to-board, stained uniform color, require ACC approval. Parallel-to-street fencing: 4-6 ft high. No chain link or wire fences allowed. Owners maintain all fencing on their lot.
• Vehicles and parking: Motorcycles, boats, RVs, trailers must be stored out of street view. Trucks over 3/4 ton cannot park overnight. No parking of vehicles with explosive cargo. On-street parking limited to deliveries. All vehicles must be parked off-street or in driveway unless authorized.
• Signs: Only one 'for sale' sign (max 5 sq ft) per lot with ACC approval, builder sign during construction, and security company signs (max 2 per lot, 2 sq ft each, ground-mounted). No other signs permitted. Declarant signs allowed.
• Garbage and weeds: Trash must be kept in City-approved containers placed at designated collection points. Weeds and grass over 8 inches trigger HOA right to mow and charge owner up to $500 per occurrence (as a Special Member Assessment).
