What Ruisseau Place Homeowners' Association's governing documents say
This is a set of governing documents for Ruisseau Place, a single-family home subdivision in Plano, Texas, with a homeowners' association (HOA). The main document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners. The other two documents are ancillary: a mortgage reformation and a condominium amendment for a different property, so they are not part of the Ruisseau Place rules.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the detached house on it. The HOA maintains common areas like streets, walkways, and any recreation areas, funded by assessments.
- Architectural review: Before building or making exterior changes (fences, walls, sheds, etc.), you must get written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted and approved within 60 days.
- Building standards: Homes must be at least 1,200 square feet of livable area, with at least 50% of the first-floor wall area (excluding openings) in masonry, masonry veneer, or stucco. Setbacks require at least 20 feet from the front property line and 5 feet from the rear.
- Use & activities: Lots are for single-family residential use only; no commercial or noxious activities. No mineral operations, and no antennas or satellite dishes visible from the street or above the roofline.
- Parking & vehicles: Boats, RVs, trailers, and other large vehicles cannot be parked or stored on the property for more than 24 hours in a 72-hour period unless hidden in a garage. Passenger cars, pickups, and motorcycles in working condition are allowed.
- Fences & landscaping: Fences, walls, or hedges cannot be taller than 8 feet, and no fence or wall can be closer than 15 feet to the front lot line. Fences must be wood or masonry (or ACC-approved). Hedges over 3 feet are restricted.
- Pets & maintenance: Pets must be leashed when outside, and owners must keep lots clean of pet waste. Trash must be stored out of public view in covered containers.
- Assessments & fees: Each lot pays an annual assessment, initially capped at $10 per month ($120 per year), which can increase up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments may be levied with membership approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 10% interest and can become a lien.
