I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. No Townhome unit or lot shall be used for other than residential purposes. Units are
   not to be used for business or commercial purposes. However, this rule does not pro-
   hibit the owner or tenant from maintaining a personal office within the unit, provided
   such use does not create a nuisance, commercial traffic, or other improper situation
   (see #4).

2. Townhome owners shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining adequate hazard
   and homeowner’s insurance for their respective units.

3. Except for emergency situations, any request for action or any complaint must be
   submitted in writing and signed in order to be given consideration by the Board or our
   Management Firm. An appropriate form for this purpose is included.

4. Conditions or activities that are or produce noxious, offensive, hazardous, unsanitary,
   or illegal circumstances, or are otherwise nuisances are strictly forbidden.

   yard and garage sales are not permitted.

6.    Owners and tenants must not give instructions or criticisms directly to Contractors
     (e.g. Landscape Maintenance personnel) who have been engaged by the Board or
     Management Firm. Instructions, criticism, complaints, and suggestions should be ad-
     dressed to the Board or the Management Firm.

II. VEHICLES & PARKING

1. Permanent (i.e., ongoing or everyday) street parking is not allowed.

   hinder access to fire hydrants, mailboxes, or driveways, nor impede the safe passage
   of any moving vehicle using the street.

   boat trailers, house trailers, other trailers, campers, trucks, camping trailers, and mo-
   tor-driven tricycles shall be kept or parked on Townhome property, unless kept within
   a garage with the door closed.
