Estates at Fountain Creek

What Estates at Fountain Creek's governing documents say

This is a standard HOA covenant (declaration) for a single-family residential subdivision in Plano, TX, binding all lot owners. It sets out architectural, usage, and maintenance rules to protect property values, but does not create a homeowners association or collect dues.

• Architecture & construction: Each lot may have only one detached single-family residence, max 2 stories, with a private garage for 2–3 cars (no carports). Minimum air-conditioned floor area is 1,800 sq ft. Exterior must be at least 75% stone, masonry, or Declarant-approved material; roofing must be wood shake, composition, or similar approved type.
• Property use & occupancy: Each residence may be occupied by one family (related by blood, adoption, or marriage) or up to two unrelated people living together. No business or commercial activity is permitted, except quiet inoffensive home offices (like art lessons) that don't increase street parking or disturb neighbors.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry; only dogs, cats, or other household pets for companionship. A maximum of two pets per lot is allowed. Pets must be kept in a fenced backyard or enclosed area, and owners must keep the area clean and free of debris.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, trailers, campers, or similar vehicles may be parked for storage in driveways or front yards; they must be concealed in a side/rear yard. No overnight parking of commercial vehicles, vehicles over 1 ton, or those with advertisements. Temporary construction vehicles are exempt during building.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Each owner must maintain the lot's lawn, ground cover, and exterior of all buildings (including repainting and repairing). No activity may alter natural drainage or water flow across lots.
• Signs & other restrictions: Only one professional security sign (max 1 sq ft) and one real estate sign (max 5 sq ft) are allowed. Clotheslines visible from the public are prohibited. Burning is only allowed in fireplaces or for outdoor cooking. No antennas except AM/FM and UHF/VHF in attic or with special permission.
• Subdivision & term: Lots cannot be subdivided. The covenants run for 30 years from recording (1992), auto-renewing every 10 years. Owners holding 75% of lots may amend them by recording a document.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not create a homeowners association, collect fees, or address rental/lease restrictions, and it doesn't specify any age or income requirements.
