The revised declaration pulls Sections One through Five into one association.
The only perimeter fencing allowed is a split rail fence, two rails high and no more than four feet. A dark vinyl-covered mesh may be attached to its inside face, no higher than the top rail, and that mesh has to be partly screened by landscaping. Anything else counts as a privacy fence: up to six feet, and only around the immediate pool or patio area, matching the architectural standard set by the style of the house.
No trailer, modular or manufactured home, prebuilt home, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn or outbuilding of a temporary character may be moved onto or built on a lot and used as a residence. Anything built needs architectural committee approval first.
Mobile homes, house trailers, boats, boat trailers, motor homes, camping trailers and recreational vehicles may not be parked in any open area longer than forty-eight hours, on a lot or off it. Commercial vehicles, trucks of any type included, may not be kept in open areas at all.
Tennis courts and above-ground pools are not permitted. Another kind of pool may be built only after prior written approval from the architectural committee, and it has to have appropriate fencing.
No construction may start and nothing may be erected, placed, maintained or altered on a homesite until the architectural committee approves the plans and specifications. Lots are restricted to private one-family residential use.
Outside above-ground AM, FM and short-wave radio antennas of any type are not allowed, and all utility and cable service has to run underground out of sight. Federal rules on over-the-air reception devices limit how far a private covenant can restrict a satellite dish under one meter across on property within your own exclusive use and control, so ask the association how this one is handled.
