Tanglewood is
dependent upon its deed restrictions to maintain the integrity and
quality of the neighborhood. The responsibility for enforcing these
covenants is vested in THA. THA believes that strict enforcement of the
deed restrictions will serve the best interests of all residents.
The board of directors feels it is appropriate to advise all residents
that in reviewing plans for new construction, remodeling, or variance
requests, the board observes the following policies:
1. Variances or exceptions will generally not be granted for new
construction or remodeling except in very limited and minor instances,
and
2. Violations of deed restrictions will be prosecuted by appropriate
proceedings, which may include legal action in a court of law.
Your help and cooperation are needed to preserve the integrity of
Tanglewood. If you should become aware of any violation of the deed
restrictions, or have questions concerning them, you are encouraged to
contact the THA office immediately.
REMINDER:
A
policy manual confirming certain policies relating to the
interpretation and enforcement of the deed restrictions was adopted by
the board on June 16, 1997. The policy manual was amended on March 1,
2008. A tree policy
and three miscellaneous provisions
were added to the Policy Manual. A tree survey and disposition plan now
must be submitted to THA before razing an existing house on a lot. If a
lot is vacant, the tree survey and disposition plan must be submitted
before new home construction or major remodeling is commenced. The
policy manual
and applicable deed restrictions should be reviewed before any
construction plans are commenced. Prior to the start of any
construction, whether a new home or improvement to an existing structure
(including fences, satellite dishes, swimming pools, etc.), plans must
be submitted to the THA office for review and approval by the Deed
Restrictions Committee. Please note that for all new home construction
and major remodeling, the builder must execute a
Builder’s Deposit Agreement
before construction
is commenced.
In addition, on December 31, 2002, an amendment to Tanglewood deed
restrictions became effective. One major change is that exterior
building and roofing materials and the color(s) of paint or color
impregnation proposed to be used on the exterior of a home or any other
improvement now must be approved. Building or roofing materials must
be compatible with the predominant types of building materials used on
homes and improvements in Tanglewood. Colors must be those traditionally
used on homes in Tanglewood. White roofing material is prohibited. A
user friendly approval process has been implemented for routine
repainting or reroofing of an existing home. You may call, fax, or
e-mail the THA office with the color and/or roofing material and color
to request approval. An approval form will be mailed to you by the THA
office.
All residents should keep their yards mowed and edged at all times. If
you plan to be away, please arrange for your yard to be maintained. Your
neighbors will appreciate it, and you will be doing your part to keep
Tanglewood beautiful. For your own protection and that of others, please
keep your yard looking neat. Even if you are selling or remodeling your
residence and are not in occupancy, you are still obligated to maintain
your property.
If you own a vacant lot, the deed restrictions require that your lot be
mowed and kept free of trash and debris. THA will mow any vacant lot
that is not properly maintained and bill the owner for this service. |
