Before you rely on this page
THE 2025 AMENDMENT IS RECENT AND IT CHANGED WHO RUNS THIS PLACE - the developer handed the association to the homeowners on 31 January 2025 and dues started that year. Anything you read about this neighborhood from before 2025 describes a developer-controlled association that no longer exists. The developer's exclusive right to amend the covenants runs ten years from the plat, so to 2029. This is Section One; other sections may have their own recorded set.
The design and the location of every fence need the developer's or the architectural committee's written approval before installation. A privacy fence up to six feet is allowed around a patio or an in-ground pool, and fencing sets back ten feet from the adjacent lot lines. Perimeter fencing is NOT allowed at all unless the developer or the committee grants a written variance.
A detached structure - the covenant names a pool equipment house as the example - needs prior written approval of its placement and materials from the developer or the architectural committee, which may require protective screening or a privacy fence around it. It has to be quality construction, kept attractive and neat, and blend with the established home.
Recreational and commercial vehicles - campers, trailers, trucks and boats - may not be kept anywhere in the subdivision, on a lot or off it, UNLESS they are kept fully inside a garage.
Above-ground pools are prohibited. An in-ground pool is permitted when a privacy fence goes in with it and blends with the house, and the developer or the architectural committee approves the pool's location and the fence's style and location in writing. The retention easement is not for swimming.
No building may be put up, placed or altered until the developer approves the construction plans, which have to show the floor plan, quality of construction, materials, external design and placement against the lot lines and topography. Approval of a detached structure's placement and materials has to be in writing before work starts. A lot carries one single-family house of up to two and a half storeys and a garage for up to four cars - roomier than the county norm.
This one was drafted around the federal rules. Outside above-ground television, AM, FM and short-wave antennas of any type are barred, but an owner may put up a direct-broadcast satellite dish no more than one meter across, an MMDS antenna no more than one meter, or a television broadcast antenna.

Driveways are wider here than in most of the county: at least sixteen feet, concrete at least four inches thick - asphalt is not an option - and a circular drive at least nine feet. Stone and cinder are prohibited. Every driveway is lit by a post lamp on an electric eye from sundown to dawn. A camper, trailer, truck or boat has to live in the garage.
A lot is for a single-family residence, except that a home occupation may be carried on inside the house by a member of the immediate family living there. Nothing outside may show the house is being used for anything other than a dwelling.
