What Waterwheel Trails Community Association, Inc's governing documents say

Waterwheel Trails is a master-planned, single-family home community in San Antonio, TX, governed by a homeowners association. The documents provided are partial: a management certificate listing transfer fees, an extensive set of design guidelines for builders and homeowners, and facility use rules for amenities.

• Transfer fees: When selling or transferring a home, fees include a $750 working capital assessment, a resale disclosure/lien estoppel fee of $375 per lot, a resale trustee/lender sale fee of $375, and a community enhancement fee of 0.25% of the transfer price. Lender questionnaires cost $200 (standard) or $300 (custom). Refinance/lien estoppel is $200, and a resale disclosure update is $75. Returned payment fee is $30.
• Design & construction rules (builder/owner): All new construction, exterior modifications, landscaping, and fences require prior written approval from the Waterwheel Trails Reviewer. Single-family homes must be at least 800 square feet, with minimum roof pitch of 6 in 12, composition asphalt shingles in Weatherwood color, and exterior materials including cementitious siding or masonry. Setbacks vary by lot width (e.g., 15 ft front for 40 ft lots). Fences must be 4"x4" treated pine with cedar pickets, typically 6 ft tall, with finished side facing public view.
• Architectural & design variety: Homes must have varied elevations and materials to avoid repetition. No two identical plans or brick colors may be placed on adjacent lots or directly across the street. Corner lots are limited to single-story homes unless approved in writing. Brick repetition limited to every fifth home. Exterior colors must be earth tones; bold or primary colors prohibited.
• Facility access & membership: Each lot owner is a member of the association and may use amenities. Renters get the right to use facilities in place of the owner. Access requires a key fob obtained through the manager with proof of residency. Fobs may be suspended for non-payment of assessments or rule violations.
• Guest rules: Guests must be accompanied by an owner or occupant 18+ at all times. Each member is limited to two guests per day at the pool and fitness center. Guests must sign a waiver before using facilities.
• Pool rules: Pool hours are posted; use after hours prohibited. No glass containers, no diving, no running. Infants must wear swim diapers. Only Coast Guard approved flotation devices allowed. Pets prohibited except service animals. Each member may have no more than two guests per day.
• Fitness center rules: Minimum age 16 (under supervision); no children under 16 without adult. No infants or strollers. Proper athletic attire and closed-toed shoes required. Cardio equipment limited to 30 minutes when others wait. Weights must be re-racked after use. Only water in plastic/metal containers allowed.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents are partial: they list transfer fees and design/facility rules but do not contain the full set of community covenants (e.g., parking rules, rental restrictions, pet limits, assessment amounts, or the master declaration itself). Those rules are recorded in the Waterwheel Trails Master Covenant and other referenced documents not fully provided here.
