What Dear Meadows Estates's governing documents say

Dear Meadows Estates is a standard single-family subdivision in Johnson County, Texas. This document is a recorded set of deed restrictions that primarily govern construction and drainage requirements for lot owners.

• Floodplain & floodway restrictions: No houses may be built in a 100-year floodplain unless the finished floor elevation is at least 3 feet above the floodplain elevation. No buildings, structures, dirt, or materials are allowed within the floodway.
• Driveway & culvert specifications: Driveway culverts must be at least 18 inches in diameter and sized to pass a 5-year storm flow, unless approved by the county commissioner. The top of the driveway must be 5 inches below the outside edge of the main road to allow overflow.
