What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Prestonwood Creek runs through the eastern edge of the neighborhood -- parcels within the 100-foot creek setback (roughly 30% of the neighborhood) face additional TPDES MS4 review on any work that disturbs more than 1,000 sqft of grade.

The 1985-2000 stock here used Hardiboard or asbestos-cement siding before the modern fiber-cement era -- exterior recladding hits both EPA RRP-rule lead paint protocols and Texas Asbestos Health Protection Act survey requirements ($1,200-$2,800 in survey fees alone).

Because the HOA architectural review is run by a rotating volunteer committee, approval timelines vary widely -- 4 weeks during quiet periods, 10+ weeks if a board transition coincides with the application.

Dallas R-5(A) / R-7.5(A) / R-10(A) residential zones allow ADUs by-right since the 2022 code update — Dallas Building Inspection Division files the permit on a residential template.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
