There is a standing Architectural Control Committee of volunteers to enforce
deed restrictions tied to all properties in Eagle Creek. The deed restrictions
are largely designed to preserve and enhance community areas, parks, lakes,
entrances, etc. and to maintain standards of building construction and materials,
and upkeep of individual properties. The ACC meets every Wednesday. If you have
questions about deed restrictions on a specific property, please call the ACC
Answering Machine at (830) 393-2090, your call will
be returned as soon as possible.
Take this link to our document library for specific deed
restrictions by lot.
Homeowners, PRIOR to new construction, placement of manufactured
homes, fences, or any out-buildings submit requests to the ECROA Architectural
Control Committee at the below address. Without prior approval, this is a violation
of the deed restrictions tied to every lot within Eagle Creek Ranch. Send your
request package to:
ECROA, Attn: ACC, 11382 FM 775 Suite 2, Floresville TX 78114.
Items to include in your request for an improvement/new project:
LOT NUMBER, otherwise there will be a delay in
reviewing your plans.
SITE PLAN - this shows from a "bird's-eye view"
your lot and shows the location of all existing structures (house, garage,
barn, shed, fences, etc.) - this would not be to scale as it is an approximation.
Next draw in where your new improvement will go - and give in feet the distance
to the nearest property line. Put in the size (if applicable) of the new improvement
(example - shed will be 8' X 10' in size). Reminder: There is a 30
foot setback rule for all buildings and a 15 foot easement along
all side and back property lines unless stated otherwise on your plat map
for your lot. There are also drainage easements and easements that pertain
to overhead power lines and underground pipelines; refer to your plat map
for more information.
MATERIALS LIST - explain what building materials
will be used in the construction of this new improvement project. Projects
must be of new materials.
SKETCH THE FINISHED PROJECT - Let's say you are
going to build a shed - then sketch out what it will look like once it is
completed. For fences, sketch what a section would look like.
COLOR - write down what color or stain (if applicable)
will be used for the new improvement. ALL BUILDINGS MUST BE PAINTED OR STAINED
- no unfinished wood is allowed.
METAL ROOFS - you will need to write a letter
and ask for a "VARIANCE" to the deed restrictions for a metal roof to be placed.
MANUFACTURED HOMES -Only allowed in certain sections
in Eagle Creek Ranch and required to be Under 3 Years of Age.
The ACC will need a copy of the blueprints/floor plan and all construction
information. Also, we will need the Texas Certificate of Manufacture showing
the Serial Numbers of the home and the Year it was manufactured. There is
No Exception to these requirements.
SKIRTING REQUIREMENT - Manufactured homes:
Masonry Product such as brick or Hardie Board -- Vinyl is not permitted. Decks/Sheds/Porches:
All supports must be skirted to cover the supports. This can usually
be done with lattice board for these kinds of improvements but not for manufactured
homes.
SEPTIC SYSTEMS - A county-approved septic system
must be in place on the property before the owners can move into a new home.
Contact the Wilson County Safety Officer for information.
FENCES - all front fences must be set
back at least 15' from the Front Property Line. Side and back fences
can be placed on the property line, but make certain you know where your lines
are located!
NUMBER AND SIZE OF BUILDINGS - There is a deed
restriction limit to the size and number of buildings permitted on a lot.
There is allowed (1) a home of a minimum square footage of 1200 square feet.
(2) A separate garage or barn or work shop - any building over 144 square
feet falls into this category. And lastly (3) a separate shed/outbuilding
- any building of 144 square feet or less, but a minimum of 30 square feet.
ANIMALS: One head of livestock is permitted per
acre of property, but poultry and swine are not permitted except for school
projects.
