What Kekionga Shores Community Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Kekionga Shores is a single-family-home subdivision in Fort Wayne, Indiana, governed by a set of covenants that run with the land and apply to all lot owners. These rules cover how you can use your property, what you can build, and what you must maintain, and they create a homeowners association (the Kekionga Shores Community Association, Inc.) to manage common areas and enforce restrictions.

• Property use & occupancy: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No more than one single-family dwelling and its accessory buildings are allowed per building site.
• Dwelling size & garages: Minimum ground floor area: 1,400 sq ft for a one-story home, 900 sq ft for a 1½-story, 800 sq ft for a two-story. Each home must have a garage that fits at least two cars or one car and one boat, attached directly or by a breezeway.
• Building lines & setbacks: No building, fence, or wall may be placed between the building line shown on the plat and the adjacent street. The front of any building must not be set back more than 40 feet from that building line.
• Architectural review: All new construction, alterations, fences, walls, pools, and other structures require written approval from a 3-member Architectural Control Committee (appointed by the association's board). The committee reviews plans for quality, design harmony, and location. If they don't act within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Within 60 days after construction (or recording of this document), the owner must plant at least 10 shrubs and 2 trees, and grade and landscape the entire yard. The landscaping must be kept up for the duration of the covenants.
• Pets & animals: Animals may not be raised, bred, or kept for commercial purposes. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed as long as occasional sale of accidental offspring does not count as commercial.
• Signs: No commercial signs visible from public view except one sign up to 6 sq ft advertising the property for sale, rent, or builder identification during construction. Noncommercial, non-offensive signs (up to 6 sq ft) may be displayed for no more than 5 days per year.
• Association & assessments: Every lot owner is automatically a member of the Kekionga Shores Community Association and has one vote per lot, provided they are not more than 12 months delinquent on assessments. Assessments are levied equally per lot, become a lien if unpaid, and can bear interest and collection costs. Any single improvement costing over $500 (other than normal maintenance) requires approval by a 66⅔% vote of owners.
