• Minimum square footage: Each residence must contain at least 2,000 square feet of living area.
• Architectural review: Plans and specifications for any building must be approved by the developer or their successors or assigns.
• No temporary housing: No trailer, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn, or other outbuilding may be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently.
• Nuisance prohibition: No noxious or offensive trade or activity may be carried on, nor any use that becomes an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.
• Covenant duration and amendment: These covenants run with the land until January 1, 1988, and automatically extend for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners votes to change them.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not address pets, leasing, parking, assessments, or an association. It is a set of restrictive covenants from the original developer, not a full HOA rulebook.
