Fishermans Paradise Lot

What Fishermans Paradise Lot's governing documents say

This is a set of restrictive covenants for Fisherman's Paradise, a single-family residential subdivision in Johnson County, Texas. The rules apply to all lot owners and are enforced by the developer (initially) and later by a property owners association. Key requirements include minimum home sizes, architectural approval, and annual association fees.

• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only (except certain commercial lots near FM 916 or Lake Side Drive). Removal of soil, rock, or trees for commercial use is prohibited; trees over 6 inches diameter may only be cut with written approval.
• Architectural review: No improvements or exterior alterations may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (or developer until 95% of lots sold). Plans are deemed approved if no decision within 30 days.
• Structure requirements: Minimum 600 sq ft of ground floor living area for residences on most lots. Setbacks: 30 feet front, 5 feet side (may be relaxed by committee). All structures must be of new materials; mobile homes must be commercially manufactured and underpinned within 60 days.
• Vehicles & recreational equipment: Recreational vehicles and mobile camping equipment may not remain on a lot more than 72 hours without written permission (max 14 days). Slide-in pick-up campers may be used while attached to vehicle; storing unattached campers is forbidden. Converted passenger buses are prohibited. Tents limited to 7 days.
• Association membership & fees: Each lot owner must be a member of Fisherman's Paradise Association. Annual fee is $30 per lot (as of 1983), subject to annual increases up to 10%. Fees are secured by a vendor's lien, subordinate to construction/permanent mortgages.
• Sales & transfer restrictions: No sale, transfer, or lease of any lot may close unless the buyer/transferee has applied for and been accepted as an association member. Exceptions for foreclosures by lenders or transfers by will/inheritance.
• Duration & amendments: Covenants run with the land and were effective until December 31, 2002, with automatic 10-year renewals unless a majority of owners vote against. They may be amended at any time by a majority vote of lot owners.
