• Residential use & occupancy: All lots must be used exclusively for single-family residential purposes. No businesses, trades, or nonresidential uses are permitted. Leasing is allowed but the owner must notify the association of the lease term and tenant name.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement, alteration, landscaping, fence, wall, painting, or antenna (including satellite dishes under 39 inches) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Decisions can be appealed to the Board. A processing fee may apply.
• Pets & animals: Only generally recognized house or yard pets are allowed in reasonable numbers, kept for domestic purposes only. No structures for animal housing visible from neighboring property. The Board decides what is reasonable and may declare an animal a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight street parking. No inoperable vehicles or heavy vehicles (over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, RVs) may be parked visible from neighboring property. Overnight parking only in garages, carports, or driveways.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $576 per lot but can increase each year by the greater of CPI change or 10% without a vote. Larger increases require a 2/3 vote. A one-time working capital fee of 1/6 the annual assessment is due upon purchase, plus a transfer fee set by the Board. Delinquent assessments accrue late charges and can become a lien.

• Nuisance & maintenance: Owners must keep lots free of rubbish, weeds, and unsightly conditions. No nuisances (e.g., loud noises, odors, unsanitary conditions). The association may enter lots (excluding interior of completed residences) to inspect for compliance. Failure to maintain can result in the association performing maintenance at owner's cost.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted but the owner must promptly notify the association of the lease term and tenant name. Leases must comply with all project documents. No minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt.
