• Permitted use & structures: Lots are for residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling (max two stories) and a private garage (max one story, no living quarters) are allowed. No temporary structures, trailers, mobile homes, tents, shacks, garage apartments, barns, or other outbuildings may be used as living quarters.

• Architectural review: Plans for all dwellings or structures must be approved by W. H. Grathwol and B. L. Fowler (or their successors). If no response is given within 20 days of submission, plans are deemed approved as long as the structure is in general conformity with others in the subdivision.
• Pets & livestock: No hogs, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, or other livestock. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed if not kept for commercial purposes and not a nuisance to neighbors.
