Who are Champions Glen, L.P. and C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development and What do they do?

Champions Glen, L.P. is the owner of the land under development in Gleannloch Farms that has not been sold to third parties. C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development is a land developer. In general terms, a land developer prepares previously undeveloped land for further development, including preparation of lots for single-family homes and parcels of land for garden homes, townhomes, recreational areas, offices, and so on. Additionally, the developer arranges for road construction, installation of sewer, water, and other utility services, and construction of amenities such as parks, nature trails, recreational facilities, and other common elements. Development activity also includes land planning, preparing detailed plats, and engineering drawings, securing necessary approvals from governmental entities, and coordinating with utility companies and others who provide services to the community.

In Gleannloch Farms, as land is platted, the landowner encumbers the developed land with certain recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions, as amended from time to time (the “Declaration”) that restrict the land to a specific use, such as single-family residential and commercial office and retail. That Declaration also provides for architectural guidelines and review and imposes other restrictions on such land. The subdivisions in Gleannloch Farms are subject to the Declaration as filed for record in the Official Public Records of Real Property of Harris County, Texas. Although the Declaration has been amended and supplemented several times since its original filing, the Declaration continues to run with title to the land in your subdivision. The landowner has also promulgated architectural standards (the “Development Guidelines”) for your subdivision. You need to familiarize yourself with the Declaration and Development Guidelines imposed on your subdivision since they may restrict the type of house that can be built on your lot and may impose reasonable limitations on how you use your house and lot in the future.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY SALES AGENTS OR BROKERS ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF CHAMPIONS GLEN, L.P., C&O DEVELOPMENT, INC. D/B/A TREND DEVELOPMENT OR GLEANNLOCH FARMS.

What the Home Builder Does

After residential land is developed, Champions Glen, L.P. offers the lots for sale to certain builders engaged in the home construction business. Home builders in Gleannloch Farms are independent businesses that buy developed lots from Champions Glen, L.P. , build homes, and offer them for sale to the public. Gleannloch Farms, Champions Glen, L.P. and C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development do not build houses and do not control the home builders who do.

Builders are responsible for preparation of house plans and specifications that must conform to the Declaration and applicable Development Guidelines. Builders submit plans to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) of the Association which reviews the plans to determine whether the plans comply with applicable square footage, setback, and similar restrictions contained in the above-referenced Declaration and Development Guidelines. The builder is entirely responsible, however, for construction of the house and all of its components, and for compliance with local governmental and industry standards for residential construction. Review and approval by the ARC is intended to insure that the house plans satisfy the Declaration and Development Guidelines but such review is not intended to assure or guarantee that the house has been adequately designed or constructed.

Inspections During Construction.

Champions Glen, L.P., C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development, the ARC, and Gleannloch Farms Community Association DO NOT inspect homes during construction to insure that they are being built according to any specific governmental standards, codes, industry or other specifications. The adequacy of the design standards and specifications for your house is a contractual matter between you and the builder. Consequently, Champions Glen, L.P., C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development, the ARC, and Gleannloch Farms Community Association cannot warrant or otherwise represent that the home builder will satisfy its obligations to you or your expectations concerning the design and construction of your house. It is the buyer’s responsibility to insure the house is constructed in a suitable manner.

Soil conditions at Gleannloch Farms are very similar to the soil conditions found in Houston, Texas, and therefore, contain expansive clay. If the house has been started or completed, you may wish to determine from the builder what code was followed and whether the foundation for your home has been or will be designed by an engineer. In any event, consider hiring an inspector, engineer, and/or architect to verify that the foundation, framing, electrical, and plumbing work, and other components of the construction were performed properly. If the house has not yet been started, you and the builder will need to agree on the design standard and specifications for your house and include all such specifications within your construction contract with the builder. It is also recommended in this instance that you consider hiring an inspector, engineer, and/or architect to insure that the builder complies with the agreed-to design standards and specifications.

Please remember that Champions Glen, L.P., C&O Development, Inc. d/b/a Trend Development, the ARC and Gleannloch Farms Community Association ARE NOT responsible for any type of warranty repairs to your house.
