DRAFT (revised #2) 5-03-01 DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS FOR BUTTERCUP CREEK PHASE V
THIS DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS FOR BUTTERCUP CREEK, PHASE V (the "Declaration") is made on the date hereinafter set forth by LUMBERMEN'S INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Declarant"), as follows: BACKGROUND:
A. Declarant is the owner of that certain real property heretofore or hereafter to be platted and subdivided into those certain residential subdivisions commonly known as BUTTERCUP CREEK, PHASE V, SECTIONS ONE-A, ONE-B, TWO AND THREE, the maps or plats of which are to be recorded in the Plat Records of Williamson County, Texas (the "Subdivisions").
B. The Subdivisions have been determined to contain and be adjacent to habitat for the federally listed Tooth Cave Ground Beetle, a cave-dwelling invertebrate, as well as a number of other species of concern.
C. Declarant, with technical assistance from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service ("FWS"), has developed a series of measures to avoid, minimize, and mitigate the potential effects of the Subdivisions upon the subject species and associated habitat.
D. These protective measures are more fully described in a certain Habitat Conservation Plan dated August 1999 (the "HCP"). The HCP also established a number of permanent karst or cave preserves (the "Preserves") within the Subdivisions, which are shown on the recorded plats of the Subdivisions..
E. As requested in the HCP and pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act , FWS has issued to Declarant the Incidental Take Permit No. PRT-836384 dated September 30, 1999 (the "Permit") recorded at Document No. 2000 028433, Real Property Records of Williamson County, Texas. Declarant, FWS and the City of Cedar Park subsequently entered into a certain Permit Implementing and Preserve Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement").
F. The HCP, Permit and Management Agreement (collectively, the "Permit Documents") contain certain restrictions, covenants and conditions regarding development, use and management of certain areas within the Subdivisions. In order to ensure compliance with these provisions by all future builders of houses in the Subdivisions ("Homebuilders") and by owners of property within the Subdivisions (the "Owners"), Declarant desires to hold, sell and convey property within the Subdivisions subject to those restrictions, covenants and conditions required under the Permit Documents, a summary of which are provided herein.
G. NOW, THEREFORE, Declarant declares that the Subdivisions are and shall be, held, transferred, sold, conveyed, occupied, and enjoyed subject to the restrictions, covenants and conditions required under the Permit Documents and the terms hereof, which provisions shall run with the land and shall be binding on the Owners and their respective successors, heirs and assigns.
1. Notice to Proceed. Owners and Homebuilders must obtain a "Final Notice to Proceed" from Declarant's permit compliance representative or its alternate designee prior to commencing work anywhere within the boundary of the Subdivisions, and will otherwise comply with all criteria required the Governmental Authorities. Owners and Homebuilders shall be obligated to pay a reasonable fee to Declarant or its permit compliance representative for review of plans, inspection of sites and site work, and review of completed work. Such fee shall initially be $75.00 per lot, payable prior to commencement of construction on such lot. The payment of such fee may be enforced by the lien reserved in the Master Restrictive Covenants for Westside at Buttercup Creek of record in Williamson County, Texas.
2. Clearing. Clearing for construction of buildings, streets, and other areas of impervious cover will be minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Areas outside of platted lots that are disturbed during construction, but are not occupied by impervious surfaces, will be replanted with native vegetation.
3. Use of Explosives Prohibited. No explosives are to be used within the boundary of the Subdivisions at any time for trenching, clearing or utility construction.
4. Clearing and Subsequent Revegetation. Brush and tree clearing and revegetation shall comply with all criteria required by the Governmental Authorities, and shall be consistent with the current practices recommended by the Texas Forest Service to prevent the spread of oak wilt. All areas outside of platted lots that must be unavoidably disturbed during construction, but which will not be covered with impervious cover, must be replanted with native vegetation in compliance with all criteria required by the Governmental Authorities.
5. Lot Fill and Final Grading. A minimum of 3 to 4 inches of suitable topsoil shall be maintained in or on all lots, yards and landscaped areas adjacent to Preserve areas. Where possible due to area topography, final grading shall provide a finished slope which directs stormwater runoff away from the Preserve areas and which shall comply with all criteria required by the Governmental Authorities. Silt fencing shall also be placed along the rear and side property lines of lots in proximity and upslope of any of the Preserves so that debris and fill placed on such lots will not migrate into the Preserve areas.
6. Surface Water Drainage Flows. During construction of any improvements, run-off of surface water from any disturbed area, and from equipment and materials storage areas, shall comply with all criteria required by the City of Cedar Park and any other governmental entity with jurisdiction in the area (collectively, "Governmental Authorities"), and must be diverted to treatment systems or ponds, or must be diverted to be discharged downstream or downgradient from the Preserve setback areas, through surface grading or through swales and berms, as appropriate.
7. Fencing. Before occupancy of any house or lots in the Subdivisions adjacent to any Preserve area, final perimeter fencing shall be erected separating such lot and the adjacent Preserve area. The fence shall not be less than six (6) feet in height and of sufficient materials and design to reasonably prevent access to the Preserve areas and no gate allowing access into the Preserve areas shall be permitted . Owners of the subject lot shall thereafter maintain such fence at its cost.
8. Equipment and Storage. Storage of fuels, lubricants, materials and equipment shall comply with all criteria required by the Governmental Authorities, and a means must be provided to contain or divert any run-off of surface water from such storage sites to treatment facilities or ponds, or to a point downgradient from the Preserve areas. Soil which is contaminated by leaking or spilled equipment or materials must be removed from the site and disposed of in accordance with the requirements of the Governmental Authorities.
9. Regrading. Owners shall not regrade their respective lots within the Subdivisions without the prior written consent of Declarant and, in any event, such regrading shall comply with the requirements of Paragraph 6 above.
10. No Disposal. Owners shall insure that no trash, debris or other materials are disposed of in the Preserve areas.
11. Spills or Disposal of Hazardous or Foreign Materials. In the event of spills of hazardous or foreign materials on roadways or lawns or in equipment storage areas, Owners and Homebuilders shall immediately notify FWS, Declarant and City of Cedar Park Fire Department. The Owners of affected property shall promptly begin assessment and documentation of any damages or impacts and implement corrective actions, as appropriate, to meet the goals of the HCP.
12. Handling the Tooth Cave Ground Beetle. Upon locating a dead, injured or sick Tooth Cave ground beetle, or any other species of concern, Owners and Homebuilders shall contact the FWS' Law Enforcement Office, Austin, Texas, at (512) 490-0948, for care and disposition instructions. Extreme care should be taken in handling sick or injured Tooth Cave ground beetles to ensure effective and proper treatment. Care should also be taken in handling dead specimens to preserve biological materials in the best possible state for analysis of cause of death. In conjunction with the care of sick or injured Tooth Cave ground beetles, or presentation of biological materials from a dead specimen, Owners and Homebuilders have the responsibility to ensure evidence intrinsic to the condition of the specimen is not unnecessarily disturbed.
13. Fire Ant Control. Heavy infestations of fire ants may also be treated carefully with bait type fire ant controls (i.e., Amdro or Logic), but insecticide chemical treatments shall not be used. Such baits will be placed directly on mounds in minimum quantities. No broadcasting of baits will be done.
14. Fire and Other Emergency. In the event of fire, either wild or deliberate, Owners and Homebuilders shall immediately notify the City of Cedar Park Fire Department, Declarant and FWS. Following extinguishment of the fire, the Owners of the affected property shall assist in the implementation of corrective actions.
15. Evidence of Vandalism. If any indication or evidence of vandalism to a Preserve area or any gate, fence or other facility within a Preserve area is observed or detected, Owners and Homebuilders shall immediately notify Declarant, FWS, and the local law enforcement authority.
16. Term. This Declaration of Restrictive Covenants and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect until September 30, 2029. After September 30, 2029, this Declaration, including all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions hereof, shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) years each, unless amended or extinguished by a written instrument executed by Declarant, FWS and the Owners of at least eighty percent (80%) of the lots within the Subdivisions.
17. Amendment. This Declaration may be amended by Declarant and FWS to comply with federal law. This Declaration may be amended by Declarant until such time as Declarant has sold 90% of the lots within the Subdivisions. Thereafter, Declarant shall be entitled to amend this Declaration only with the written approval of the Owners of a majority of the lots within the Subdivisions and such amendment shall not be inconsistent with the requirements of any successor Permit issued by FWS (or its successor agency). No amendment shall effective until there has been recorded in the Real Property Records of Williamson County, Texas an instrument executed and acknowledged by Declarant and setting forth the amendment.
18. Summary. The restrictions, covenants and conditions imposed on the Subdivisions by FWS in order to protect the endangered species and species of concern are more fully set forth in the Permit Documents. Copies of the Permit Documents may be obtained from Declarant at 1300 S. MoPac, Austin, Texas 78746, Attention: Ms. Darlene Louk.
19. Penalties for Violations. Violations of the provisions of the Permit or of the Endangered Species Act are federal offenses which may be punishable by a fine of up to $25,000.00 per event and/or a year in jail, or both.
