Open Space Management Plan:
Intended Usage: The common open space areas of the project are intended for
the quiet enjoyment of the residents within the development.
The project frontage along Southlake Blvd. (Open Space Lot 1, Block A) will
buffer the homes from Southlake Blvd. and provide a nicely landscaped
streetscape along this portion of Southlake Blvd. As primarily a visual amenity
will act as a welcoming and well-maintained “front door” to the development.
The portion of this open space along the creek/ drainage area at the southwest
corner of the property will be maintained as natural as possible, in order the
preserve the many existing trees within that area. Occasional trimming of the
grounds and drainage-ways may be necessary from time to time, to keep a
quality appearance.
The internal open space preserve within the Private Street B oval loop, also
called Open Space Lot 5, is the central open space focus area for the project. It
will contain many preserved trees, and the area outside those tree preservation
areas will be fully landscaped, irrigated and maintained on a regular basis, and
shall serve as a visual amenity and the interior “central park” for the use of the
residents. The open space lot and “endcaps,” located at the west end of the
existing estate which will be incorporated into the project), as well as the various
open space medians, will be developed as manicured landscaped areas.
The HOA will maintain all open space areas.
All sidewalks and trails are intended for recreational pedestrian traffic, shall be
kept in good condition, and accessible to the residents. Any significant changes
to the plan must be approved by the City Council.
All Common Open Space shall be owned and maintained by a Homeowners
Association (HOA), to be established for the development. All other areas shall
be the responsibility of the individual property owners, including the front yards
and required streetscape trees of the residential lots. All property owners, except
for the existing homes fronting on Shady Oaks, shall be required to be a member
of the HOA. Dues assessments, required for the maintenance of the common
areas and other HOA activities, shall be mandatory.
The HOA, through a resident Board of Directors, shall be responsible for the
maintenance and operation of the protected open space within the development ,
either directly or through a third-party management company. No full-time
employees are contemplated to be necessary. The expenses required to
maintain the common areas at a quality level shall be estimated annually by the
HOA Board, and dues shall be determined and assessed on each property owner
in an equitable fashion at such a rate as necessary to maintain such a level of
quality. The annual expenses for such open space maintenance are initially
estimated to be $50,000, or approximately $940 for each of the HOA
homeowners. Authority to enforce these requirements, and to place a lien on the
property if such dues are not paid, shall be in the form of written Deed
Restrictions and Covenants, agreed to by all property owners in the HOA at
purchase, and shall run with the land.
Provisions shall be made, in the HOA bylaws and Deed Restrictions, that in the
unlikely event the HOA fails to maintain all or a portion of the protected open
space in reasonable order and condition, the City of Southlake may, but is not
required to, assume responsibility for its maintenance and take corrective action,
including the provision of extended maintenance. The costs of such maintenance
may be charged to the HOA or individual property owners that make up the
HOA, and may include administrative costs and penalties which shall become a
lien on all property in the development.
