  • 1. The area covered by these covenants is the entire area described above.
  • 2. No lot shall be used except for residential purpose unless hereafter zoned otherwise, in which event county minimum requirements only shall be required as to all conflicting provisions of these covenants. No building shall be erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain on any lot, as platted, other than one detached single-family dwelling not to exceed 20 feet in height on outside waterfront lots nor 30 feet on all other lots and a private garage for not more than two cars.
  • 3. No building shall be erected, placed or altered on any lot until the construction plans and specifications and a plan showing the location of the structure have been approved by the Architectural Control Committee as to quality of workmanship and materials, harmony of external design with existing structures, and as to location with respect to topography and finish grade elevation. No fence or wall shall be erected, placed or altered on any lot unless approved by said Committee. The Architectural Control Committee is Lloyd V. Blake, John E. Hieber and Glen E. Deer. The Architectural Control Committee shall have the absolute right to restrict or prohibit the construction of any building even though such a building is not otherwise restricted or prohibited herein, if in their sole discretion such building or the placement thereof on the lot would be detrimental to the development of plat or other owners. A majority of the Committee may designate representative to act for it. In the event of death or resignation of any member of the Committee the remaining members shall have full authority to designate a successor. The Committee's approval or disapproval as required in these covenants shall be in writing.
  • 4. No dwelling shall be permitted on any lot except in accordance with these restrictions and as approved by the Architectural Control Committee. The ground floor area of the main structure, exclusive of one story open porches and garages, shall be not less than 800 square feet for a one-story building, nor less than 500 square feet on the first floor for a dwelling of more than one story.

No dwelling shall be located on any interior lot nearer than 25 feet to the rear lot line. For the purposes of this covenant, eaves, steps and open porches shall not be considered as part of a building provided however, that this shall not be construed to permit any portion of a building on a lot to encroach upon another lot.
  • 6. No dwelling shall be erected or placed on any lot having a width of less than 60 feet at the minimum building setback line.
  • 7. Easements for installation and maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities are reserved as may be shown on the recorded plat and, in addition, easements for drainage and utilities facilities are reserved over a 2-1/2 foot wide strip along each side of interior lot lines and over the rear five feet of each lot.

  • 12. 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.
  • 13. No lot shall be used or maintained as a dumping ground for rubbish, trash, garbage or other waste shall not be kept except in sanitary containers. All incinerators or other equipment for the storage or disposal of such material shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition.
  • 14. PUGET SOUND EXCHANGE CORPORATION shall provide a reasonable source of water supply for the owners of each lot. No wells of any kind shall be allowed except those owned and operated by Puget Sound Exchange Corporation or Bridgehaven Community Club, Inc., a non profit corporation to be formed, or their successors, as the case may be, for the general water supply.

The development and construction of any beach facilities or pools shall be the responsibility of said Club.
