Cascades the 1

What Cascades the 1's governing documents say

This is a set of governing documents for The Cascades Association of Homeowners, a single-family HOA in Wylie, TX. The documents include the HOA's Bylaws (which govern how the association is run) and the Architectural Control Committee Guidelines (which regulate exterior changes to homes). This is a partial set—it does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, so many day-to-day rules (like pet limits or rental restrictions) are not covered here.

• HOA governance & meetings: The HOA holds at least one annual member meeting, with a 35% quorum (10% for adjourned meetings). The Board manages the association and can take some actions without prior notice, but not fines, assessments, foreclosures, or suspending owner rights without an opportunity to appear.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes—including sheds, patios, paint colors, fences, pools, and play equipment—must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee before work begins. Projects must start within 60 days of approval and be completed within 180 days of the start date.
• Fences & exterior standards: Fences must be wood, wrought iron, masonry, or vinyl with a wood-like appearance; chain link and plastic are banned. In Block C, wrought iron fences must be 5 feet tall and painted a specific color. Fences must be maintained, with staining every 2–3 years for light colors.
• Recreational equipment & structures: Swing sets can't exceed 8 feet tall; playhouses/forts can have roofs up to 12 feet and platforms up to 6 feet. Basketball goals must not create nuisances, and soccer/lacrosse goals can't be permanently placed in front yards or cause play in the street.
• Prohibited items: Wind turbines, window air conditioners, and metal carports are not allowed. Bright primary colors are prohibited for exterior paint and shutters. No billboards or advertising devices are permitted, though small political signs are allowed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, so it omits key rules about assessments, pet limits, leasing, and other common HOA restrictions. Those rules are likely in the Declaration, which is not provided here.
