9.09. Animals. No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept within the Subdivision, except that dogs, cats or other recognized household pets may be kept upon
and within the Lots and dwellings of their Owners, provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained in numbers deemed unreasonable by the Board or for commercial purposes. Any more
than two (2) total of such permitted pets on any one Lot shall be deemed to be unreasonable and in violation of this restriction unless prior written approval is obtained from the Board. All animals permitted pursuant to this Section shall be kept on a leash except when they are carried or within an enclosed area on a Lot. Any such pets, whether from number, disposition or otherwise, that cause, create or contribute to a nuisance or unreasonable disturbance or annoyance or noise may be required to be permanently removed within fourteen (14) days of receipt of written notice from the Board to the Owner or other person responsible for such pet and the Owner of the Lot on which such person resides, if such Owner is not also the person responsible for the pet. All pet owners shall be fully responsible for the actions of their pets and shall immediately and properly dispose of any excrement their pets leave on Lots, Common Areas, lawns, and streets.

Are signs permitted:

9.06. Signs. No sign, billboard or emblem of any kind may be kept or placed upon any Lot or mounted, painted or attached to any dwelling, fence or other improvement upon such Lot so as to be visible from public view or mounted on or in any vehicle or trailer parked or driven in the Subdivision or carried by any person or by any other means displayed within the Subdivision, except that an Owner may erect one (I) sign on his or her Lot which shall not exceed 24″ x 18″ in area, fastened only to a stake in the ground and extending not more than four ( 4) feet above the surface of the ground advertising the property for sale or for rent, and any Owner may display a sign of reasonable size provided by a contractor for security services within ten feet (IO’) of any entrance to
a dwelling.

What are the rental restrictions:

9.25. Lease of a Dwelling. In order to maintain a community of congenial residents and thus protect the value of the Lots and dwellings, the leasing of a Lot or dwelling by an Owner shall be
subject to the following provisions:

(a) No Owner may rent or lease any portion or all of a dwelling for a term of less than three (3) months or more than once in any twelve (12) month period. The sublease of a dwelling is prohibited.
(b) No rental or lease application shall be approved which would result in more than twenty percent (20%) of the Lots or dwellings being rented at any one time.
( c) Owners renting or leasing their property are responsible for all damage caused by their tenants or lessees, including that to Common Areas. If the Association repairs such damage
after the Owner refuses to or fails to do so satisfactorily within an reasonable time, after reasonable notice, and the Owner fails to reimburse the Association for the cost of repairing such damage within a reasonable time and after reasonable notice then the Association may collect that amount as a Special Assessment from that Owner.
( d) No Owner may lease a dwelling, Lot or any interest therein without prior approval of the Association. The Association may delegate its approval authority to a single Director, a
committee or an agent.
(e) No Lot or dwelling acquired after the effective date of this amendment shall be leased for a period of twelve (12) months following the acquisition of the Lot or dwelling (as is
established by the date of recordation of a deed or other instrument of conveyance) unless an already existing lease is in force at the time of transfer, in which case the lease will be honored until its expiration and the twelve (12) months will then begin tolling. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not subject to the requirement of waiting twelve (12) months to lease: I) A Lot or dwelling acquired by the Association by foreclosure of a lien for delinquent assessments or by a deed in lieu of such foreclosure; 2) A Lot or dwelling acquired through inheritance; and 3) A Lot or dwelling acquired by a trust of which the settlor is the immediate former Owner of the Lot or dwelling and is a natural person or persons.
(f) All leases shall be subject to prior approval of the Association. Approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Within a reasonable time, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of the proposed lease term, an Owner or his agent shall apply to the Association for approval of such lease. The Board shall adopt a uniform application form. The Owner or the
intended lessee shall furnish such information as the Association may reasonably require, including a(g) If the Association disapproves a proposed lease or lease renewal, the Owner shall
receive a statement indicating the reason for the disapproval, and the lease shall not be made or renewed. Any lease made in violation of this Declaration shall be voidable by the Association. The Association shall neither have a duty to provide an alternate tenant nor shall it assume any responsibility for the denial of a lease application if a denial is based upon any of the following
factors:
I. The persons seeking approval (which shall include all proposed occupants) has been convicted of a crime of murder, sexual battery, child molestation, rape or their equivalent under
federal or state laws in the last fifteen (15) years.
2. The application for approval on its face, or the conduct of an applicant, indicates that the person seeking approval intends to conduct himself in a manner inconsistent with the
Governing Documents; by way of example, but not limitation, a tenant taking possession of premises prior to the approval of the Association as provided for herein shall constitute a presumption that the applicant’s conduct is inconsistent with the Governing Documents.
3. A person seeking approval has a history of disruptive behavior or disregard for the rights and property of others as evidenced by his or her conduct in other housing facilities or
associations, or by conduct in this Subdivision as a tenant, Owner or occupant of a dwelling.
4. A person seeking approval has failed to provide the information, fees or appearance required to process the application in a timely manner.
9.26. New Owner Interview. Within fifteen (I 5) days of the sale or transfer of any Lot in the Subdivision, the new Owners shall schedule a new Owner interview with the Association for the
purpose of reviewing the Governing Documents.
