• Lot use & single-family requirement: Each lot may be used only for a single-family residence of traditional design. No group homes, no lot re-subdivision, and no more than one residence per lot. Two or more lots may be combined with county and ARC approval.
• Architectural review: The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) must pre-approve all construction, exterior alterations, fences, landscaping, paint colors, roof materials, satellite dishes, and other improvements. The ARC may withhold approval for purely aesthetic reasons.
• Minimum house sizes & construction standards: Minimum heated living area varies by lot: 2,600 sq ft (larger lots, with three-car or expanded two-car garage), 2,000 sq ft (lots 18,19,44), and 1,700 sq ft (lots 20-43). Two-story homes also have first-floor minimums. Materials must be at least 75% brick/stone/stucco to grade. Roof pitch minimum 8/12.
