Each of us was attracted to Lakewood Subdivision by the compatibility of design and construction of the homes, fixtures, mailboxes, fencing, lighting and landscaping throughout the neighborhood. Owners’ rights to expect continuation of this compatibility were protected by a Bill of Assurances and Protective Covenants recorded in the real estate records by the developers of our subdivision. Each subsequent owner was made aware of these Covenants at or before closing and took ownership subject to the Covenants.
Conformity with the Covenants by all owners protects each owner's investment in his or her property. Section 4B of the Covenants requires that, prior to commencing any work on a lot, an Owner must first submit an application and plans to the Architectural Control Committee (“the ACC”) for any proposed alterations, repainting of a structure or for changes to landscaping.
