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. A portion of the larger open space (Block 4 Lot 16X) will be visible from the future Kirkwood Boulevard and will provide a visual pattern break for motorist along Kirkwood. It will be separated from the road right-of-way by an ornamental metal fence. This heavily wooded area will provide a natural preserve of trees to be used by the neighborhood’s residents. The smaller open space lot (Block 1 Lot 6X will provide a break in the block of homes for residents inside the development. Two open (Block 2 Lot 5X and Block 5 Lot 20X) space lots will provide additional open buffer along North White Chapel Boulevard, including the entrance and entrance features and provide additional green space along the entrance road entering the subdivision providing a nicely landscaped streetscape along this portion of North White Chapel and the entrance to the development. As primarily a visual amenity, this landscaped area will act as a welcoming and well-maintained “front door” to the development. Occasional trimming of the grounds may be necessary from time to time, to keep a quality appearance. The heavily treed open space areas (Block 4 Lot 16X and Block 1 Lot 6X), will contain many preserved trees. A walking trail will be constructed within the larger open area with benches. This area shall serve as a visual amenity and the interior “central park” for the use of the residents. The open space lots along North White Chapel, at the entrance and the entrance road 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 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 $59,000, or approximately $1,000 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.
