Understanding the Homeowners Association (HOA)

Plum Creek, Plum Creek Addn. #1 and Plum Creek East are subject to Deed Restrictions. These restrictions establish a general plan for the use, occupancy, and enjoyment of the properties, intended for the mutual benefit of owners. They are in force perpetually, running with the land.

The PLUM CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION governs the deed restrictions.  Committee members are responsible for maintaining improvements like ponds (including removing silt build-up or algae) and enforcing regulations. Its powers include maintaining Common Areas, entering into contracts, and levying assessments.

Sampling from Deed Restrictions:

The Deed Restrictions cover various aspects of property use and building within the subdivision. Key areas include:

• Building Types: Primarily single-family residences restricted to one story, one and a half story, two-story, or split-level, with minimum square footage requirements. Specific minimum living square footage rules apply to Duplex and Eight-Family lots in Plum Creek East, with architecture subject to approval.
• Garages: Single-family homes must have a minimum of two attached garages, with a maximum size specified (900 sq ft). Attached garages are also required for duplex units (two-car) and eight-family units (one-car).
• Approval Process: All building plans and the exterior design of each dwelling unit require written approval from the Developer (or appropriate party) before applying for a building permit. Basic site features such as fences, garden structures, satellite dishes, additions, or other temporary or permanent structures also need prior written approval.
• Use Restrictions: Restrictions include prohibitions on outside storage of items deemed unsightly (like boats, trailers, campers, or other vehicles) and above-ground swimming pools. All driveways shall be paved within one year of occupancy.
• Maintenance Requirements: One outdoor electric lamppost with photoelectric controls must be installed in a location designated by the Developer at the time of construction of a residence building, and maintained by the lot owner in a proper operating manner.
