What Rasor John's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for John Rasor Addition No. 2, a single-family detached home subdivision in Plano, TX. It applies to all lot owners and occupants, establishing rules for residential use, construction, maintenance, and architectural standards.

• Residential use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential purposes only. Each lot may have one detached single-family residence, max 2 stories, occupied by one family or up to two unrelated persons plus domestic servants.
• Minimum home size & materials: Homes must have at least 1,400 sq ft of air-conditioned living area (excluding garages, porches). At least 70% of exterior wall area (excluding windows, doors, gables) must be brick, stone, or masonry; roofs must have minimum 6/12 pitch and use approved materials.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (initially appointed by the Declarant) must approve all plans for construction, exterior alterations, fences, and landscaping before any work begins. The committee can reject designs that are unusual or not in harmony with the neighborhood.
• Parking & vehicles: Boats, RVs, campers, and similar vehicles cannot be stored in driveways or front yards; if in side or rear yards, must be concealed. Trucks over 1 ton and vehicles with painted ads cannot park overnight. No vehicles with flammable cargo. Only passenger vehicles with current plates and in daily use may be parked on streets.
• Pets: No more than 4 household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) per lot. Pets must be restrained on the owner's property and properly tagged. Livestock, poultry, and animals kept for breeding or food are prohibited.
• Fences & landscaping: Fences and walls require committee approval, max height 6 ft, and must be constructed of masonry or approved wood. No fence forward of the residence front. Lot owners must maintain yards, keep grass under 6 inches, plant at least 8 five-gallon shrubs and 2 trees, and keep curbs edged.
• Business & nuisances: No business, professional, or commercial use; no noxious or offensive activity. Quiet in-home activities like tutoring are allowed if they don't increase street parking or disturb neighbors. No signs except one professional sign up to 32 sq ft.
• Term & amendments: The covenants run with the land for 30 years from recording (Dec 1995), with automatic extensions. Amendments require 25% of lot owners to approve and record, but for the first 10 years, the Declarant must also join.
