Proposed updates to covenants

PROPOSED COVENANT

Sheds, Shacks, Tents, Trailers and other movable, portable or temporary structures
Covenant for Architectural Control, Article V, and Section 12, amended (date goes here)
No shed, shack, trailer, tent or other temporary or movable building or structure of any kind shall be erected or permitted to remain on any Lot with the following exceptions:

  • Sheds may be approved by the architectural control committee, assuming the following conditions are met:
        1. No shed may be taller than the property fence or be visible from the street facing the front of the home.
        2. Any shed that is approved must be maintained and kept free of rust or rotting wood.
        3. Current sheds that may have been improperly approved by previous boards are hear-by "grand-fathered" in as of (date in which the amendment is approved).  Grand-fathered sheds MUST be removed or brought into current board-approved compliance standards if the property changes hands.
        4. If an approved shed is not properly maintained the board must inform the Lot owner in writing that the shed either needs to be removed or brought into compliance.  If an owner refuses to bring a shed into compliance the board may have the shed removed at the homeowner's expense.
  • Understanding that some families may need to occasionally clean their camping gear or wish to have a "campout" with their children on their property, tents are permitted for a period not longer than two days and one night.
  • Temporary storage facilities, commonly known as "pods," may be used for a period not longer than five days in an Owner's driveway with board approval.
  • Trailers or RVs of visitors may be parked in an Owner's driveway for no longer than five days.
  • Owners of trailers or RVs must keep them in the garage.  Any trailer or RV that will not fit in a garage must be stored outside of the Secret Woods subdivision.   Trailers or RVs may be parked temporarily in an Owner's driveway for a period not longer than two-days before a trip and two-days following a trip.

CURRENT COVENANT
