• Pets and animals: Without board approval, a lot may keep up to two dogs, two cats, one dog and one cat, or two other small household pets. Up to two small caged birds are also allowed. No commercial breeding or keeping of other animals without written board consent. Pets must not be loose and walking is allowed only on designated areas.
• Parking & vehicles: Only passenger cars, station wagons, small trucks, motorcycles, small vans, boats, small trailers, and campers may be parked on a lot. No parking in the front yard (except driveway). Inoperable vehicles must be stored inside an enclosed garage. Visitors may park similar vehicles in allowed areas.

• Leasing & rentals: A lot may be rented only to a single person or a single family. No portion of a lot may be rented in a manner inconsistent with this restriction.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, or other structure may be erected or altered on a lot until plans (including design, colors, materials, location) are approved in writing by the board or an architectural committee. Approval is deemed given if not acted on within 30 days after submission. Initial landscaping provided or approved by the board may not be changed without approval.
