Prestonwood West Lake

What Prestonwood West Lake's governing documents say

Prestonwood West Lake is a single-family homeowners association in Plano, TX. The documents provided are a set of ancillary policies and guidelines that supplement the main Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs). They cover specific administrative and architectural topics but do not contain the core HOA rules (e.g., assessments, pet limits, leasing).

• Records requests & copying: Owners may request and inspect association records. Copies cost: black & white 8.5x11 single-sided $0.10, double-sided $0.20; color $0.50 single, $1.00 double; PDF $0.10/page; compact disk $1.00; labor $18/hour; postage at cost. Association must respond within 10 business days.
• Solar energy devices: Solar devices require advance written approval. Must be on the owner's property; roof-mounted devices must not extend beyond roof perimeter, conform to roof slope, and be least visible from common areas (energy production reduction must not exceed 10% over alternative locations). Frames and piping must match roof or be silver/bronze/black.
• Payment plans for assessments: Owners may request a payment plan for overdue assessments. Plans run 3–18 months. Duration guidelines: balance up to 2x monthly assessment = 3 months; greater = up to 6 months. Missed payments void the plan and the full balance becomes due immediately.
• Rainwater recovery systems: Rain barrels require advance approval. Barrels visible from street/common areas are only allowed if guttering prevents screening; must be ≤55 gallons, painted to blend with home, and installed near the structure with a vertical downspout connection. Overflow must not affect adjacent properties. Inlets must be sealed to prevent hazards.
• Document retention: Association must retain governing documents permanently; financial records (budgets, bank statements) for 7 years; owner account records for 5 years after transaction; former owner records for 1 year; contracts ≥1 year for 4 years after expiration; meeting minutes for 7 years; architectural decisions for 7 years.
• Roofing materials: All roofs must use composition shingles approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. Wood shakes and slate shingles are prohibited. Alternative shingles (wind/hail resistant, energy-efficient, or solar) may be approved if they resemble authorized shingles, are of equal/superior quality, and match surrounding aesthetics.
• What this document doesn't cover: These policies do not include the community's main rules on assessments, pet limits, leasing restrictions, parking, or use of common areas. Refer to the primary Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for those rules.
