Deed Restrictions

Feb 10, 2004

- The deed restriction committee is reviewing the deed restrictions and considering changes. Any change in the deed restrictions will require a vote of all property owners in the subdivision with a simple majority carrying any change as required under the current deed restrictions. The change being considered is a possible modification to the outbuilding restriction. The trustees have been directed by the majority of residents to make the enforcement of the deed restrictions the number one priority. Of particular resident concern is the parking of boats, trailers, pop-up campers and motor homes on properties. The trustees intend to pursue legal remedies to these and other problems, if necessary, in the immediate future.
In case you may not recall the restrictions, the major ones are outlined in the following:

1. Detached outbuildings and garages are prohibited.

2. No wall or fence (or part of a fence) of any type may be constructed nearer to any street than the building setback line.

3. Line-of-sight cannot be obstructed on corner lots. Fences, walls, shrubs, or hedges must meet certain height
restrictions if within 25 feet of an intersection of two streets. Trees must have a sufficiently high foliage line so as to provide an unobstructed view. These same restrictions apply to every lot in the subdivision within 10 feet of the intersection of the driveway with the street.

4. Each lot must have a yard light that conforms to the specifications contained in the Abstract of Title. It must operate automatically and be on from 1 hour after sunset
until 1 hour before sunrise. The light must be maintained in a good working condition at all times.

5. Non-passenger vehicles may not be parked on any street or lot for more than two consecutive hours.

6. No signs are permitted except for:
a. one professional sign not exceeding one square foot in size.
b. one sign advertising the property for sale or rent and exceeding five square feet in size.
c. Signs used by builders to advertise the property during the construction and sales period.

7. The following vehicles and equipment may not be kept on any lot unless completely enclosed in a garage:
a. Commercial vehicles,
b. Camping or vacation vehicles,
c. Construction-type equipment, or
d. Mobile or stationary trailers of any kind

8. No sanitary facilities or wastewater facilities, such as washtubs or softwater systems may be allowed to drain into the sump or discharged through the sump pump.

9. Building materials may not be stored for more than 30 days prior to the commencement of an improvement nor for more than 15 days after its completion. All improvements must be completed in a reasonable time. In no case shall the construction period exceed 6 months.
