That the :offer zones along he g two a tributary streams of the area which are to be created by restrictive covenant in individual lot deeds are conservative, practical and acceptable to both parties. it was al o agreed to establish a similar, mutually satisfactory buffer in those lots adjoining New Hope Greek. 3. That a recreation area consisting of at least facilities for softball, football, and basketball be provided near the center of the development. 4.
