Preston Shores Subdivision

What Preston Shores Subdivision's governing documents say

Preston Shores is a single-family residential subdivision in Grayson County, Texas. These recorded covenants for Units 2, 3, and 4 bind all lot owners and regulate land use, building size, setbacks, and utility easements. They are typical restrictive covenants, not an HOA rulebook.

• Allowed land use: Lots are restricted to residential and private garage purposes, except for lots 256–282 in Unit 4, which may also be used for commercial or manufacturing purposes at the owner's discretion.
• Minimum house size: Ground floor area must be at least 400 square feet in Unit 2, and at least 500 square feet in Units 3 and 4.
• Setbacks & placement: No building may sit closer than 10 feet to the front property line or 5 feet to side or rear lot lines.
• Construction & appearance: Exteriors must be brick, frame, or block; wood or block exteriors must be painted. Any garage must conform in appearance and construction to the residence on the lot.
• Pets & animals: The covenants restrict keeping animals or birds on any lot, though the garbled OCR makes the exact scope unclear (likely prohibiting livestock or poultry).
• Utility easements: A 5-foot-wide easement is reserved along front, side, and rear lot lines for utility lines (electric, telephone, water, sewer) and maintenance access; trees must not interfere.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are only recorded deed restrictions. They create no homeowners association, do not levy assessments or fees, and establish no architectural review or enforcement process beyond court action.
