Before you rely on this page
The recording stamps did not survive the scans legibly, so no instrument number is stated here rather than risk a wrong one. Covers Sections One and Two.
Only an ornamental or architectural fence or wall may be put up. Before it is built, its location, height and type of material have to be approved by the original developers or their designated representative; if no suit to stop construction is started before the fence is finished, the approval requirement is treated as met.
A shed may be put up only if its exterior design is in harmony with the house. No hut, dog house, shack, barn or other outbuilding of a temporary nature may be erected at all, and no trailer, basement or garage may be used as a residence.
Mobile homes, house trailers, boats, boat trailers, motor homes, camping trailers and recreational vehicles may not be parked on a lot longer than seventy-two hours.

We can find out →Nothing may be built, placed or altered on a lot until the building plans are approved. A lot carries one detached single-family house of up to three storeys including the basement and a garage for no more than three cars. Construction has to start within a year of buying the lot and the exterior be finished within a year of starting, in substantial frame, brick or stone.
No exterior tower antenna may be erected. The covenant predates satellite dishes and does not mention them. 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.
