Saybrooke

What Saybrooke's governing documents say

Saybrooke is a standard single-family-home subdivision in Grapevine, TX, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) recorded in 1990. The rules apply to all lot owners and residents, covering building standards, land use, parking, pets, and aesthetics. This summary is based on a noisy OCR scan of the main Declaration and a partial Amendment that only adjusted lot descriptions; no additional documents (e.g., bylaws, fee schedules) are included.

• Building & architectural standards: Only single-family detached homes of up to two stories are allowed. Minimum living area is 1,750 sq ft (excluding porches, garages). The first floor wall area up to window height must be at least 75% masonry or masonry veneer (unless waived by the Architectural Control Committee). All construction plans and plot plans must be approved by the ACC before building; approval is automatic if no response within 30 days.
• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for residential purposes. No commercial, noxious, or offensive activity is permitted. No mobile homes, trailers, tents, or temporary structures may be used as a residence.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicle, trailer, boat, or equipment may be parked on the property for more than 24 hours in any 72‑hour period unless it is less than 21 feet long and completely concealed from public view inside a garage or approved enclosure. Passenger cars, vans, motorcycles, and pickups in operating condition with current plates and inspection stickers are exempt. Construction vehicles are temporarily exempt.
• Pets: No more than three domestic pets of each type (e.g., dogs, cats) may be kept per lot. They may not be kept for commercial purposes. Pets must be confined within a fenced rear yard or on a leash when off the lot.
• Fences, walls, and hedges: No fence, wall, or hedge over 3 feet high may be placed within 15 feet of the front lot line. Side and rear fences may be up to 8 feet high. Fences must be wood, masonry, or approved by the ACC.
• Antennas & satellite dishes: One TV/radio antenna may be attached to the main house but must not extend above the roof peak or be forward of the front building line. Satellite dishes require prior written ACC approval, including location and screening.
• What this document doesn't cover: This Declaration does not mention any homeowners association (HOA) dues, common‑area maintenance, or an HOA board. The Amendment only updates lot descriptions. Fees, if any, would be in separate documents not included here.
