(B) Gazebo On Veranda Court

i. The gazebo to be constructed on Veranda Court and the described real estate appurtenant to it, shall be owned in common by the owners of all lots contiguous to Veranda and Porche Courts

ii. The care and maintenance of the gazebo and the described real estate appurtenant to it, (hereafter gazebo area”) shall be the obligation of Woodridge Development, Inc., which may, from time to time, issue pro-rata assessments against the other common owners for any costs expended by Woodridge Development, Inc. for such care and maintenance until such time as more than 50% of the lots contiguous to Veranda and Porche Courts are owned by someone other than the developer.

So long as the gazebo area is privately owned and maintained, the City of Manitowoc shall be held harmless for any injury, damages or claims of any kind by any party, including, but not limited to, claims for bodily injury or property damage that occurs in or on the gazebo area and results from the negligent design, maintenance, regulation, supervision or control of the gazebo area.

2. No structure other than the following shall be erected or put on any lot in the subdivision: (a) single family residences or duplexes, (b) accessory buildings and uses compatible to single family residences or duplexes, (c) with the exception of in-home businesses, (e.g., licensed daycare homes, assisted living group homes, or telecommuting) which do not violate any other restrictions contained herein. No trade or business shall be conducted on any lot nor shall any building or accessory building be used for storage or transfer for any products or materials connected with any trade or business. These restrictions shall not prevent the erection of summer porches, or below ground swimming pools, tennis courts, etc., provided such structures be built in the back 50 percent of the lot or the back 50 percent of the lot that is feasible for building. For example, if the back part of a lot was going down a steep hill, that portion of the lot going down the hill would not be taken into consideration when figuring the setback for the structures and further, provided these structures be designed and used only for the convenience of the occupants and the residence then existing on the same lot. Above ground swimming pools, doghouses and storage sheds may be placed only in the back 50 percent of the property that is suitable for building as mentioned above. If they are visible from any angle of the roadway, then they must be surrounded by a four foot high view obstructing fence to be made out of wood or masonry. Except for dog kennels, cyclone fences, wire fences, plastic fences and chain link fences are not permissible. The use of vegetation as a fence is permissible only if it is of an evergreen nature and they do in fact obscure the view. Therefore, shrubs planted for the purpose of concealing an above ground swimming pool would not satisfy this requirement until the shrubs were of a minimum of four feet in height and close enough together to block the view of the structure. Unattached garages must be set back from the front and side property lines a distance of equal to or greater than that which the house is set back and be constructed with the same exterior materials with which the house is constructed. For example, if the front of the house has 50 percent brick on it and 50 percent cedar siding and has a cedar shake roof then the garage shall be built of the same materials. All homes in the subdivision must have a minimum garage width, whether it be attached or unattached, of 20 feet in order to hold at least two cars.

3. No building of any nature shall be moved from a point outside the subdivision described herein to a point within the subdivision described herein.

4. The developers reserve the right, but are not obligated, to plant trees within three years after the installation of the permanent street in the area between the city sidewalk and the street curb, at no cost to the property owner. This would be done to provide a uniform and attractive street scape. The developers would assume no responsibility for the long term maintenance or longevity of the trees.

5. No billboards, other than the developer’s subdivision sign, or sign boards (except suitable signs for sale of site) or unsightly objects of any kind shall be maintained on any site except such sign as owner may desire to indicate his name and address, but in no case shall any such signs exceed an area of six square feet.

6. No part of the premises shall be used or occupied to injuriously affect the use of the adjoining or adjacent premises or the neighborhood where said premises are situated.

7. No house trailer, camping trailer, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn or other outbuilding shall at any time be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently, nor shall any structure of a moveable or temporary character be permanently maintained upon the premises, nor shall any trailers, mobile homes, boats, camping trailers, snowmobiles, semi-trailers, trucks over one ton, or derelict cars or trucks, etc., be permitted to park within the front yard setbacks; and if an owner has a corner lot and the driveway for that lot enters from the side where the setback is lesser than the front yard, no parking of the above mentioned items shall be permitted within the side yard setbacks.

8. Dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept provided they are not kept, bred, or maintained for any commercial purposes and provided they are maintained in such a manner so that they are not a disturbance to other residents, odor and noises included. No kennel or dog run will be permitted within 20 feet of any lot line.

9. The building plans and site plans for any construction proposed for real estate governed by these restrictive covenants shall be submitted for approval to Woodridge Development Inc.. Woodridge Development Inc. will require at least 14 days to review said plans. Woodridge Development Inc. reserves the right to make modifications to exterior building details and color selections in an effort to maintain the attractive and harmonious nature of the subdivision; as well as an environmentally conscious approach to the use of the land, especially regarding building placement.

10. These restrictions and reservations are made with and for the mutual benefit of any and all persons who now own or may hereafter own property in Doneff Addition No 4 and the same shall be binding on all and enforceable by any of the present and future owners of the land in said subdivision. These restrictions and covenants shall run with the land and shall have frill force and effect for a period of 25 years from the date hereof, automatically renewing themselves for successive periods often years each thereafter unless by majority vote of the then owners of the lots, it is agreed to remove or change same in whole or in part.

11. Invalidation of any one of these restrictions or covenants by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any of the other covenants or restrictions which shall remain in full force and effect.
