Oak Hills Terrace Townhomes Assn., Inc. (OHTTA)

WELCOME HOME!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nestled between Bandera Rd, Loop 410 and IH10 (corner of Evers & Wurzbach), this quaint community affords casual living within miles of a host of major employers (UT Health Science Center, VA & University Hospital and USAA to name a few), schools/institutes of higher learning (such as the University of Texas, San Antonio) as well as being convenient to all the shopping/service providers you'll ever need.

INTRODUCTION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oak Hills Terrace Townhomes is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 63 lots (62 residential & one street/common area parcel).

>Planned communities are the most common type of community association. Recent estimates indicate that 50–55 percent of all community associations are planned communities.

In a planned community, each purchaser has exclusive ownership to a lot/unit, including the property the lot/unit sits on and the residential
dwelling itself. Each resident generally owns an interest separate from the other owners, coupled
with mandatory membership in an association.

The ASSOCIATION OWNS the COMMON AREA, but the owners have very specific rights and obligations
with respect to the common area.

Common areas in a planned community include the grounds,recreational areas, and sometimes, the roads. Because most planned communities consist of
detached housing, common areas do not generally include walls and roofs, although they may.

There are many types of planned communities including townhouse developments, single family home developments, planned unit developments, planned residential developments,cluster developments, property owners associations, and master planned communities.(Excerpt from "An Introduction to Community Association Living" Copyright Community Associations Institute (CAI) WWW.CAIONLINE.ORG)

>>>>>>>>MEMBERSHIP

Oak Hills Terrace Townhomes Association, Inc. (OHTTA) is a MANDATORY Association and ALL townhome Owners are members.

The OHTTA maintains the common elements for the benefit of ALL Owners in the development. (All recreational facilities are for the exclusive use of the Owners, their tenants and/or invited guests.)

>>>>>>>>IMPORTANCE OF READING and
UNDERSTANDING the ASSOCIATION DOCUMENTS

The OHTTA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCC&R’s) establishes the rights and responsibilities of ALL townhome Owners.

OHTTA is a non-profit Texas Corporation (charter filed with Texas Secretary of State on September 11, 1978) and, along with the DCC&R’s, the BYLAWS of the corporation explain the rights and responsibilities of the Members of the OHTTA.

As a unit Owner and Member, you are required to contribute to the common expenses by paying your assessments in full/on time, obeying the rules as well as abiding by the restrictions designed to maintain the Oaks Hill Terrace Townhomes as a first-rate community. In return, you have the opportunity to be involved in the operation of YOUR Association by voting annually, serving on committees and/or the Board of Directors, and by participating in community functions.

>>>>>>>>>>IMPORTANT ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL ISSUES

OHTTA is a DEED RESTRICTED community. To ensure uniformity of architecture and harmony of external design throughout the development, Article V of the OHTTA DCC&R’s establishes for an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to oversee all construction on individual lots and in the common areas. For everyone’s protection, no improvement may be started until plans and specifications have been submitted to and approved by the ACC.

The Architectural and Use Restrictions were established to protect and enhance the value, desirability and attractiveness of the development. Potential unit Owners should have reviewed these restrictions prior to closing. By accepting a deed to a unit(s) in the OHTTA, you, your family, tenants or invited guests agree to abide by the restrictions of the development.

>>>>>>>>ASSESSMENTS to PAY COMMON EXPENSES

To ensure that the common property is adequately insured and maintained, ALL unit Owners are required to contribute to the expense of upkeep, administration, taxes and Master Policy insurance.

The current ANNUAL ASSESSMENT is $1,680.00 per townhome (payable in twelve installments of $140.00 due on/before 1st of each month)++PLUS++ an additional lump sum INSURANCE ASSESSMENT of $467.24(+/-) per townhome due March 1st.) ***ALL checks made payable to OAK HILLS TERRACE TOWNHOMES ASSN.,INC.

Examples of common expenses are:
~Upkeep, maintenance and repair of the common areas, including landscaping

~Cost of management and materials used in the corporate, financial and administrative affairs of the OHTTA
~Reserve Funds for eventual replacement of streets, fences and other major common element items.

>>>>>>>VOTING RIGHTS

All unit Owners have one (1) vote on each matter coming before the Members at any meeting [unless voting rights have been suspended by the Board of Directors (BoD).] The BoD is elected by the Membership and each director serves a three (3) year term. (The BoD decides among themselves who will fulfill the responsibility of President, Vice President and Secretary/Treasurer.)

>>>>>>>>POWERS of the ASSOCIATION

The OHTTA, through its Board of Directors (BoD), may bring an action at law against any townhome Owner for failure to abide by the covenants, conditions and restrictions established in the Declaration, Bylaws and/or any corporate resolutions adopted by the BoD.

Legal action can also be taken against any unit Owner(s) for failure to pay assessments for which they are personally obligated, and the OHTTA may foreclose the lien against a lot (even a homestead property) for non-payment of assessments, fees and costs. Interest will be charged on delinquent assessments, and legal fees, court costs and other costs associated with collection may be added to the assessment. No unit Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments by not using the common areas or by abandoning the unit. This ability to enforce the collection of assessments assures that ALL unit Owners will share equally in the expenses of the OHTTA.

>>>>>>>>RECREATIONAL AMENITIES and
SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES

Although the OHTTA is primarily responsible for maintenance and upkeep of common areas, it also provides the organization to support the social and recreational needs of the members of the OHTTA. Committees provide a way for members to influence the quality of life in the community SO GET INVOLVED TODAY!
