• Residential use & home businesses: Each lot must be used as a single-family residence by no more than three unrelated persons (unless related by blood/marriage/adoption). Limited home businesses are allowed if not visible or noisy, with at most one non-resident employee.
• Architectural review: Any exterior modification visible from neighboring property (e.g., paint, additions, landscaping changes) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. The committee has 45 days to decide after a complete submission. Fees for consultant review may apply.
