What Mc Kinney Ridgecrest Homeowners's governing documents say

McKinney Ridgecrest is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in McKinney, TX. This document is the Amended and Restated Improvement Guidelines—a partial rulebook that governs exterior modifications and property maintenance. Homeowners must get Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval for most changes.

• Architectural review (ACC approval): Almost any exterior improvement—fencing, painting, decks, sheds, driveways, landscaping changes—requires prior ACC approval. Submit design plans, materials, colors, and site plans. Minor repairs (e.g., <10% fence repair) and certain replacements matching existing may not need a full submission.
• Fencing: Wood privacy fences must be board-on-board or board-beside-board, pickets vertical 4–6 inches wide, redwood or cedar. No lattice or horizontal styles. Fence pickets facing the street must be on the exterior side. Stain: consistent medium brown; transparent stains and paint prohibited. Ornamental fencing (wrought iron) must be black satin. Neighbor acknowledgement required for new fences.
• Painting & exterior colors: Trim, siding, and garage doors must complement house masonry. Colors must be earth tones (browns, tans, warm grays, greens). Bright primary/secondary colors prohibited. Submit paint/stain brand and color; if changing, include sample.
• Structures & additions: Accessory structures (arbors, gazebos, pergolas) max 12 ft height, must match roofing and house colors, located in rear yard. Play equipment must be screened from public view; wooden play sets must be stained cedar/redwood. Play houses limited to rear/side yards behind privacy fencing, no electrical or plumbing. Pools require approval and neighbor acknowledgement if access needed.
• Landscaping & drainage: At least two quality trees per lot, one in front yard. No drainage alterations without ACC approval. Composting limited to back yard, must not cause pest/odor nuisance. Rain barrels allowed per separate guideline. Retaining walls need ACC approval and must follow property lines.
• Trash, signage & other items: Trash and recycle containers must be stored out of public view (garage, backyard, or screened). Signage subject to separate policy. Solar panels, standby generators, and satellite dishes require ACC approval and follow additional guidelines.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the improvement guidelines. It does not include full CC&Rs on assessments, leasing restrictions, pets, parking, age restrictions, or other neighborhood rules. Homeowners should refer to the master declaration and other governing documents.
