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, this landscaped area 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 6, Block C, 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 lots and "endcaps," located at both ends 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.
