July 31, 2015 <br /> <br />To: Orange County Planning Department <br />From: Hart’s Mill, LLC <br />RE: Sample Covenants and Restrictions <br /> <br />Hart’s Mill has not yet adopted formal legal covenants and restrictions for the planned community. The <br />following are examples of the type of provisions that are expected to be put in place to ensure that the <br />community is safe and attractive, and is aligned with its values, mission and aims. <br /> <br />Mission: <br />To actualize Hart’s Mill Village and Farm as an agrarian intentional community: restorative in <br />its agriculture, sustainable in its designs and practices, collaborative in its social and work <br />life, and celebratory and creative in all that we do. <br /> <br /> <br />Note: The term “Yard” as used below refers to the limited common area immediately surrounding each <br />Dwelling for which the Owner of the Dwelling has more exclusive rights to use and enjoy. There will be no <br />subdivision of separately owned lots or yards in the development. <br /> <br />EXTERIOR INSTALLATIONS, STORAGE AND TRASH <br />Utilities. All electric, television, radio and telephone line installations and connections from the Owner’s <br />property line to the Dwelling Unit shall be placed underground. All types of exterior refrigerating, <br />cooling or heating apparatus must be concealed or integrated into the architectural design. Building <br />integrated solar thermal and photovoltaic systems are encouraged. <br /> <br />Fences. The design, type of construction, and location of fences must be approved by the Design Review <br />and Land Use Committee. <br /> <br />Restrictions on Signs and Advertising Devices. No sign, poster, billboard, advertising device or display of <br />any kind shall be erected or maintained anywhere within The Property that does not comply with local <br />sign codes, ordinances, and regulations and without prior written approval by the Land Use Committee. <br /> <br />Outside Installations. Any outside installation of antennas such as TV or wireless, or any projection on <br />any physical structure including such things as sports apparatus but excluding chimneys and vent stacks <br />shall fall under the guidelines of the Design Review Committee. Satellite dishes may be installed within <br />The Property so long as such installation is approved by the Design Review Committee and the Land Use <br />committee. Clotheslines may be installed on the side or back of an Owner’s Yard, and are encouraged to <br />save energy. <br /> <br />Personal Storage. Storage of personal items; small equipment of small recreational vehicles and <br />equipment; or any such personal property must be stored within the Owner's Dwelling, or in the <br />Owner's storage locker or shed. Any storage by an Owner outside of these personally owned areas can <br />be done only with approval from the Land Use Committee. <br /> <br />19
