Protective Covenants for Old Lexington Trace

Architectural Control: NO TYPE OF CHAIN LINK FENCING SHALL BE ALLOWED

[However, kennels are not considered a type of chain link fencing being that they are not “yard” fencing. If you have a kennel, it must be located on the rear of the property (or a spot least visible from the street). I t would be greatly appreciated if you would initiate every effort to make the kennel as pleasing to the eye as possible.]

Livestock and Poultry: No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any lot, except that dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose. Total permanent number of pets per household shall not exceed three, fish and birds excepted. No pet shall be allowed to make an unreasonable amount of noise or to become a nuisance. Structures for care, housing or confinement of any pet shall be allowed on the rear of property only. Pets shall be under leash at all times when walked or exercised in any area other than owner's lot and no pet shall be permitted to leave its excrement on any portion of land other than that land belonging to the pet owner. Upon written request of any homeowner, the Committee may in its discretion, determine if a pet is a generally recognized house pet or if such pet is a nuisance and the Committee shall have the right to require the owner of a particular pet to remove such pet from the subdivision if such pet is found to be a nuisance or in violation of these restrictions.

Our neighborhood covenants are intended to protect your investment and your cooperation in adhering to them is greatly appreciated. If you do not have a complete copy of the covenants, please contact Bob Leiter at 543-7333.
