It applies to lots 1–34 on the recorded plat.

• Architectural review & approval: All exterior improvements, including structures, fences, antennas, and changes to exterior colors, must be approved by a 3-member Architectural Control Committee (or initially a single member appointed by Declarant).

• Use restrictions & single-family requirement: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No condominiums may be created.
