MOUNT OLYMPUS CC&Rs

DECLARATION OF ESTABLISHMENT OF RESTRICTIONS

The Mt. Olympus Property Owners Association (MOPOA) through its Board of Directors has been legally appointed the Declarant under the above Declaration and has the responsibility to enforce, to the extent it deems appropriate, the above Declaration. The below exposition is meant to more fully outline the obligations of Owners under the above Declaration.

Uses of Property

Article III deals with the use of the property. Of particular note are Section 3.01 which states that all building sites shall be used for single family, residential purposes only, Section 3.04 which states that “No noxious or offensive trade or activity shall be carried on upon said property or any part thereof, nor shall anything be done or maintained thereon which may be or become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood, Section 3.05 which states that campers, trailers, boats, trucks and dismantled automobiles or automobile parts shall be maintained upon any property unless kept in an enclosed area and out of the view of any other lot or street, and Section 3.10 which states that no pole or antenna for the receipt or transmission of radio or television or other microwave signals shall be constructed, erected or maintained on any building or on any building site in such a manner as to be visible from the outside of any such building.

Buildings

Article IV deals with the character and size of buildings and in general states that no building shall be erected or maintained on any building site except one (1) single family dwelling house not more than two(2) stories in height above the highest ground level, nor shall it be smaller than 1,800 square feet, shall be of new material (including fences, walls and other structures). Accessory buildings or garages shall be not higher than the dwelling house, shall conform in architectural design and exterior materials and finish to the dwelling house and shall be only for the use of the owner or occupants of the building site.

Fences and Trees

Article V deals with fences and trees. Section 5.01 states that no fence or boundary wall shall have a height greater that six(6) feet above the finished graded surface of the ground upon which it is located and Section 5.02 states, in essence, that no wall or fence shall be erected or maintained within the area between the house and the street without the written approval of Declarant.

Section 5.03 states that no obstructions or trees which would deprive any owner within a five hundred (500) foot radius of a view shall have a height greater than ten (10) feet above the finished graded surface of the ground upon which it is located.

Signs

Article VI deals with signs and states that a sign not larger than 150 square inches may be erected behind the setback area of the lot as to any street.

Article VII deals with the approval of plans and is very detailed. It applies to all structures which are to be erected, constructed, altered or maintained and requires submission of plans and specifications, including exterior color scheme and a block plan indicating the exact location on the building site (for major or new construction). As stated in Section 7.01, the approval of said plans and specifications may be withheld not only because of their noncompliance with any of the specific conditions, covenants and restrictions in this and other clauses hereof, but also by reason of the reasonable dissatisfaction of Declarant with the grading plan, location of the structure on the building site, the color scheme, finish, design, proportion, architecture, shape, height, style or appropriateness of the proposed structure or altered structure, the materials used therein, the kind of pitch or type of roof proposed to be placed thereon, or because of its reasonable dissatisfaction with any or all matters or things which, in the reasonable judgment of Declarant, would render the proposed structure or alteration inharmonious or out of keeping with the general plan of improvement of said property or with the structures erected on other building sites in the immediate vicinity of the building site upon which said structure is proposed to be erected or altered.

Article VIII deals with repair of structures or any portions thereof on property which have been damaged or destroyed by any cause. It essentially gives an owner 90 days to commence repair and one year to finish repair. If the owner does not meet these time schedules, he shall pay to Declarant $250 for each month delay in commencement and completion. This obligation runs with the land and is binding on successor owners. Repair and reconstruction must be done in strict compliance with approved plans and specifications for the original construction or deviations approved by Declarant.

Article X relates to the maintenance of property and places upon the owner of each building site, in Section 10.03, the duty and responsibility to perform upon his or her properties all of the duties listed in Section 10.01 not assumed or provided for by municipal authority. Included in Section 10.01 are maintenance of statues, fountains, and other ornamental features (10.01(c)) and corrective action to avoid washout and erosion (10.01(e)). Section 10.01(b) includes sweep and clean streets, dispose of rubbish, garbage and the like from property and provide community patrolling service until such time as such duties are provided for by municipal authority.

Section 10.04 states that the owners of lots and building sites shall be obligated to perform all duties incident to maintaining their respective lots and building sites, including vegetation thereon, in neat, clean and good order. This obligation, by opinion of counsel, includes the homes thereon and any other things within the lot boundaries, such as sidewalks, driveways, and gutters. Owners cannot take or permit any action that would alter the water drainage pattern or permit artificial sprinkling, watering or flooding for extended periods that would cause geological or flood hazards.
