This Residential Planned Unit Development shall abide by the all conditions of the City of Southlake Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 480, as amended, as it pertains to the “SF-1A” Single-Family Residential zoning district; and the City of Southlake Subdivision Ordinance No. 483, as amended: The following regulations shall apply to all lots, except as noted: Minimum House Size: All new houses constructed shall be a minimum of 4,000 s.f. in floor area. Street: A 25’ B-B pavement section with standard 6” curb, in a 40’ Access Easement shall be provided along the frontage of the residential lots. The cul-de-sac shall have a 100’ B-B outside diameter of paving, in a one hundred ten (110’) foot diameter easement. Sidewalks: In keeping with the nearby neighborhood conventions, no sidewalks shall be required. Side and rear lot lines shall be configured as shown on the Development Plan. All newly constructed homes shall be required to be protected by a fire-suppression sprinkler system. No separate common open space lot shall be required, consistent with the normal requirements of SF-1A zoning, which this development is patterned after. In the Open Space, Pedestrian Access and Wildlife Easement, no construction or living tree removal shall be allowed. Open Space Management Plan: The “Access Easement,” and the “Open Space, Pedestrian Access and Wildlife Easement” areas in the project, and common facilities such as the access road, shall be 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 landscape easement 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 roadway and easement 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 $8,000, 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.
