Ridgecrest Subdivision

What Ridgecrest Subdivision's governing documents say

This is a set of restrictive covenants for Ridgecrest, a single-family residential subdivision with some commercial lots, located in different states (Texas and Wyoming versions appear). It binds all lot owners—no HOA fees or association are mentioned; enforcement is through owner lawsuits.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for residential purposes only; only one detached single-family dwelling, a private garage for at least two vehicles, and small outbuildings for permitted pets are allowed. No trailers, tents, or temporary structures may be used as residences.
• Size & value minimums: Minimum ground-floor square footage and appraised value vary by lot: 1,200 sq ft/$90,000, 1,300 sq ft/$100,000, or 1,500 sq ft/$115,000, depending on the lot. A two-car garage is required on all lots, and no structure with three or more stories is allowed without committee consent.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alteration, fencing, or other improvements must be approved in writing by an Architectural Control Committee before starting, with plans reviewed for harmony and location. Fences are limited to 6 feet (48 inches in front/side yards), and the committee can grant variances.
• Animals & vehicles: Only house pets are allowed; no livestock or poultry. Vehicles like cars, trailers, boats, and airplanes must be in running condition, properly licensed, and regularly used; no storage on streets.
• Maintenance & nuisances: Owners must keep lots neat and maintain improvements; no noxious activities or unsightly storage unless enclosed. Property must be landscaped within one year of construction, and exteriors completed within one year of starting.
• Enforcement & amendments: Covenants run with the land and are enforceable by any owner via lawsuits, with attorney's fees. They auto-renew every 10 years and can be amended by a two-thirds vote after 90% of lots are sold.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the deed restrictions only; it doesn't create an HOA, set dues, or specify common-area maintenance or insurance. Some excerpts are from different subdivisions with similar names, so verify which version applies to a specific property.
