The following Protective Covenants are designed to provide a uniform plan for the development of the Properties. They shall constitute a covenant running with the land for each Lot within the Properties.

Section 1. Land Use and Dwellings. With the exception of the Common Area, none of the lots in the subdivision may be used or improved for other than private residential purposes, and no business, trade, nor manufacturing shall be conducted thereon except for homeowner occupations that are conducted entirely inside the residential structure, don’t require customers, clients, or suppliers to travel to and from the property, and are not an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. No more than one single family dwelling, garage housing up to three motor vehicles, and the usual and necessary outbuildings, shall be erected, placed or maintained on any lot except for those lots designated for multi-family housing by the declarant. All single family dwellings shall be of new frame construction and on a poured foundation. Building materials shall be compatible with other housing in the area. Use of metal siding or roofing is prohibited on any structure.

Section 2. Building Site. No Lot shall have more than one (1) dwelling house located upon it except those lots designated for multi-housing by the declarant. All structures must be completed within one year of commencement of construction and initial landscaping, at least to the extent of establishing a lawn on areas not otherwise occupied by structures, driveways or decorative plantings, must be completed within eighteen months of commencement of construction.

Section 3. Setback Lines. No building shall be located on any Lot in violation of the setback restriction delineated on the plat. For the purposes of this section, the building location shall be considered to be the building foundation line.

Section 4. Temporary Structures. No trailers, modular homes nor structures of a temporary character including, but not limited to, a recreational vehicle, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn, or other outbuilding, shall be used at any time as a residence, either temporarily or permanently, nor shall any building be occupied for residential purposes until it is completely finished.

Section 5. Vehicle Parking and Driveways. Improvements on each residential lot shall provide for off-street parking and no motor vehicles shall be placed or parked so as to impede or obstruct pedestrians or vehicular traffic along any road easement within the Property.

Section 6. Fences. No fence shall be constructed of materials other than cedar with wood or metal posts and fences shall not exceed more than six (6) feet in height. Fences shall be natural or stained with light body stain. Fencing shall be limited to that portion of each lot from the rear of the dwelling to the rear of the property, and no fence shall be permitted on that portion of each lot between the rear of the dwelling and the street.

Section 7. Weed Control. All Lot owners shall take preventive and reasonable measures to exercise weed control over their property.

Section 8. Exterior Maintenance. Each Owner of a Lot shall provide exterior maintenance upon such Lot and structures, if any, to include the painting and repairing of structures; maintenance of the lawn and grounds to preclude weeds, underbrush, and other unsightly growths; and the prevention of refuse piles or other unsightly objects from accumulating or remaining on the grounds. In providing such exterior maintenance, the Owner shall utilize color and landscaping schemes that are harmonious with the surrounding area. All exterior colors shall be approved by the Architectural Review Committee. The Declarant shall be the Architectural Review Committee until build out of development at which time the Homeowner’s Association shall assume review responsibilities. In the event any Owner shall fail or neglect to provide such exterior maintenance, the Associations shall notify such Owner in writing specifying the failure and demanding that it be remedied within thirty (30) days. If the Owner shall fail or refuse to provide such exterior maintenance within the thirty (30) day period, the Association may then enter such Lot and provide required maintenance at the expense of the Owner. The full amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after the Owner is billed therefore and shall become a special assessment upon that Lot. The Association may exercise all such rights to collect that assessment as it may other assessments pursuant to Article V. Such entry on the Lot by the Association shall not be deemed a trespass.

Section 9. Outside Lighting. Outside illumination equipment or fixtures shall not be constructed unless attached to the main residential structure or garage, or unless attached to a pole not to exceed 8 feet in height, which pole will confirm with the general architectural plan of the residence. Mercury vapor night lights are not permitted. Any electrical connection between the residence or garage will be underground. All outside wiring shall be subterranean. Television, radio and other antennas located upon said premises are to be located so as to be inconspicuous.

Section 10. Burning of Trash. Outside burning of trash and other materials is prohibited.

Section 11. Animals and Pets. Two dogs and/or two cats per lot or other common household pets may be kept provided they are not bred or maintained for commercial purposes. All household pets shall be kept within the Lot of their owner and shall not be allowed outside their lot unless under the immediate control and supervision of their owner or member of his immediate family.

Section 12. Vehicles. No equipment, machinery, motor homes/trailers (except for visitors and guests for a period not to exceed two weeks), trucks exceeding one ton capacity, pickups carrying campers, boats, boat trailers, or unsightly vehicles shall be parked or allowed to remain in front of or along-side any building or in a driveway, on any Lot, or on the adjoining streets. However, storage of such vehicles shall be allowed if they are stored in a garage, or stored behind the rear building line of a dwelling in a fenced area screened from the view of adjoining Lots. The screen fence shall be of minimum of five feet in height but shall not exceed the maximum six feet height limitation set forth in Section 5 of this Article. This provision is not intended to preclude the entry for construction, maintenance, delivery, moving, or other such service vehicles while they are being utilized in connection with services for the property.

Section 13. Signs. No advertising signs, billboards, nor other unsightly objects shall be erected, placed or permitted to remain on any Lot. However, exceptions shall be allowed for one small sign identifying the contractor of a building under construction, or for one small “For Sale” sign per Lot. Until the Declarant sells all of the Lots in the development, it shall be permitted to place signs throughout the Properties to promote the sale of Lots.

Section 14. Nuisances. No noxious nor offensive activity shall be carried on or permitted upon any of the Properties, nor shall anything be done thereon which may become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood; nor shall the premises be used in any way or for any purpose which may endanger the health and safety of, or unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet of, the resident of any Lot.

Neither an outdoor barbecue nor a wood stove shall be considered a nuisance.

Any dwelling damaged by fire or other casualty must be removed from the premises or repairs commenced within one hundred twenty (120) days of such damage unless an extension of time for such removal or repair is granted by the Homeowners’ Association. The Homeowners’ Association may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies to enforce compliance and to recover any expenses incurred in connection therewith. Any cost incurred by the Association under this section shall become a special assessment upon the Lot of the owner. The Association may exercise all such rights to collect that assessment as it may any other assessment pursuant to Article V.

Section 16. Woodpiles. Woodpiles shall be neatly stacked or located so as not to be visible from the street.

Section 17. Damage or Destruction of Common Area by Owner.

The amount necessary for such repairs shall become a special assessment upon the Lot of the Owner.
