Please be aware of the following:
Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 3 of the Restrictive Covenants: "There shall be installed and planted upon each Lot and maintained by each lot owner landscaping as may be approved by the Architectural Control Committee and which shall be in an amount of no less than $500.00 exclusive of sod. Owner shall not destroy any trees that already exist on the lot unless trees hinder construction of residence being built. If no trees exist on lot, owner shall plant at least two trees in the front yard. Owner shall sod front and side yards and seed or sod back yards within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of construction."
The tree requirement will be enforced for all new construction. While the Developer was responsible for approving construction and landscaping for the existing completed homes, the Board does encourage those home owners who do not have at least 2 trees in their front yard to plant such trees in order to increase the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood and for environmental benefits.
For vacant or new construction lots per Article VIII, Section 3 of Covenants :
- All vacant lots shall be kept free of weeds and shall not be permitted to fall into an unsightly condition. Any vacant lot which falls into an unsightly condition may be mowed and cleaned up by the Association at the expense of the owner.
- During clearing and construction, until all exposed dirt from excavation has been removed from the Lot or brought to an approved final grade surrounding the dwelling unit and until the Lot is permanently landscaped with vegetation or landscaping material, the Lot owner shall take such steps as are necessary to prevent the erosion and washing of soil from the Lot.
- Soils, mud and landscape waste carried from the Lot onto other properties and common areas such as easements, rights of way and roadways, by erosive forces or by vehicles leaving a construction site, shall be cleaned up daily or as necessary, at the expense of the Lot owner.
