HOA Notes

Of the 101 Homes in the Neighborhood, there are 7 that back Hebron.  All 7 Homeowners are willing to allow their fence to replaced by a screening wall and become an easement.

All homeowners are in favor of a quality screening wall and would prefer it to go as high as 12 feet for noise and visual screening.

Homeowners would like screening wall to be piered, anchored and armored well enough to offer protection from cars.   Some homes have had vehicle damage to structures already.

HOA unanimously agrees that Hebron is one of Carrollton's most prominent Corridors and would like the theme of the wall to represent the city and neighborhood with pride.

HOA would consider structure maintenance past warranty and installation as long as any police report involving accident to the structure is forwarded.

HOA agrees to maintain and irrigate any added landscaping
