      ARBOR RIDGE No. 2 (Lots 127 through 249) TOP

      Lots 127 through 249 are declared an area of special concern which shall, in addition to the privileges and obligations heretofore established for all property in Arbor Ridge and Arbor Ridge No 2. Be subject to privileges and obligations unique to said lots 129 – 251 127 – 249. Those “unique” privileges and obligations are as follows. In interpreting the intent of the Declarant if there is a conflict between the privileges and obligations heretofore established and what follows regarding Arbor Ridge No. 2 lots, the following shall control the construction and use of homes on Lots 127 through 249 inclusive.
      1. All front yards and side yards facing any street shall be subject to a landscape installation and maintenance easement over their entirety. Declarant shall install landscaping, street trees, and irrigation system(s) with water meter(s) dedicated solely to the irrigation of the herein created front and side yards facing any street landscaping. The herein identified landscaping improvements shall be maintained by the Arbor Ridge P.U.D. Woods Homeowners Association pursuant to a separate source and application of funds accounting system.
         
      2. Declarant hereby declares that in addition to the initial general Homeowners Association annual fee of $130 for each lot within the ARBOR RIDGE P.U.D. development, owners of lots 127 – 249, shall pay an annual special landscape maintenance fee of $360. Said additional landscape maintenance fee shall be subject to the same regulations as the Homeowners Association general fee with the exception that it shall be managed and expended solely for the maintenance of the front and side yard improvements contained on said lots 127 – 249.

        The Board of Directors or, if no Board of Directors has yet been chosen, the Declarant, shall have the authority, without first submitting the question to owners, to increase, by no more than ten percent (10%), this special landscape maintenance fee assessment. The amount of each annual assessment shall be established and justified at the Board‘s annual meeting or if the Board of Directors has yet to be established pursuant to the Declaration, the amount of increase shall be based upon actual expenses experienced by Declarant. In no event, however, shall the annual special landscape maintenance fee assessment for any lot be increased by more than ten percent (10%) in any one year or an accumulated increase of more than fifty percent (50%) from this initial annual fee assessment without a vote of the owners as set forth elsewhere in the Homeowners Association Provisions. The expenses referenced herein shall be borne by the owners of lots 129 – 251 127 – 249 equally with a pro rata share of the total being the responsibility of each lot owner(s).
      3. Each dwelling unit with a two car garage must have off street parking spaces for at least four vehicles. Lots with single car garages shall have off street parking spaces for at least two vehicles. Garage bays may be counted for the purpose of meeting this requirement. Garage bays may not be used as non-vehicle storage areas to the extent that their usage for such storage hinders or prohibits the garage bay(s) from accommodating vehicles. No home on lots 127 – 249 shall have in excess of one vehicle parked outside its respective garage on an extended or consistent basis. That single vehicle may be parked in a driveway but under no circumstance may it be parked off of a paved surface intended for vehicle travel or storage. The intent is to have at least one off-street parking space available at all times at each home for “drop-by” visitor’s vehicles. Vehicles may not be used for storage of materials for more than forty-eight (48) hours without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee.
      4. There is hereby created a cross-easement along the side yard of each lot’s house to allow occupant access to the rear yard of their individual lot. The description of the cross easement shall be the first 21 inches on each lot in from the common property line, thus creating a 3 ½ foot wide pathway centered between houses. It shall be the responsibility of each property owner to maintain his or her portion of the easement area surface and keep the cross easement area clear of obstructions which in any manner hinder access to rear yards. Any disputes arising from issues relating to the cross-easement area shall be settled by the Homeowners Association Board of Directors or Declarant if the Board has yet to assume administration of these covenants.
      5. No fencing or gates shall be allowed in side yard setbacks of lots 127 – 249.
      6. The floor area of a dwelling on lots 127 – 249, exclusive of open porches and garages, shall not be less than 1000 square feet. The Declarant must approve, in writing, any exceptions to these standards.
