• House size & structures: Minimum floor area is 4,000 sq ft (excluding garages, porches, guest houses); only one private residence per lot is permitted, plus a garage (max 4 cars), guest house, and servants' quarters, all of which must attach to the main dwelling to form one contiguous unit.
• Architectural & landscape approval: All improvements, alterations, landscaping, fencing, and exterior color changes require prior written board approval; the board has 30 days to approve or disapprove, or the request is automatically deemed approved. The board can charge review fees, including fees for architect/engineer consultations.
• Visibility restrictions: Strictly prohibited from being visible from neighboring property: clotheslines, pet facilities, playground equipment, air conditioners, storage sheds, lawn equipment, antennae, trailers, boats, RVs, and utility meters.

No boats, trucks, trailers, campers, or RVs are permitted as living spaces.
• Pets & animals: Only "generally recognized house or yard pets" in a reasonable number are allowed; the board has final authority to determine what qualifies and whether the number is reasonable. Pets must not make unreasonable noise or be visible from neighboring property; no livestock or commercial animal operations.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their entire lot and residence to one family only; all leases must be in writing and require tenants to comply with all rules. Subleasing is prohibited; owners remain liable for tenant violations and must provide the association with tenant names, lease dates, and emergency contact information at least 10 days before occupancy.
