ARTICLE THREE

Covenants and Conditions

J.      Animals

1.    NO COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.

No animal of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any portion of a property owner's property for any commercial purpose.

2.    PERMITTED LIVESTOCK.

The following species of livestock animals may be kept on a lot:  horses, mules, donkeys, llamas.

a.    Number of Horses, Mules, Donkeys and Llamas.

One horse, mule, donkey or llama may be kept on any lot for each two and one-half acres of land not to exceed an aggregate total of four horses, mules, donkeys or llamas per lot.

b.    Stable Facilities.

A property owner shall provide stable facilities for horses, mules, donkeys or llamas kept on the property.  The stable building must contain one stall space for each such horse, mule, donkey or llama.

Stable facilities shall include a paddock.  For the purpose of this subsection b., a paddock is defined as a small (not to exceed an area of 700 square feet per horse, mule, donkey or llama) fenced holding pen immediately adjacent to the stable building.  As used in this subsection b, the term "paddock" is intended to be synonymous with the terms "corral" or "run."

c.    Approval of Plans for Stable Facilities.

Plans for stable facilities (including any paddock) must be submitted to and approved by the Architectural Control Committee of the Association in accordance with Article Three, Paragraph B of the Declaration of Protective Covenants of the Association or any amendment thereto.

d.    Pastures.

A property owner may provide pasture land on the property owner's property for the property owner's horses, mules, donkeys or llamas.  However, use of pasture land shall be in accordance with subparagraph four of Paragraph J of Article Three of the Declaration of Protective Covenants.  Grazing by horses, mules, donkeys or llamas that results in defoliation (i.e., grazing to bare dirt) of any portion of a property owner's pasture land is strictly prohibited.

e.    Feed.

It is the responsibility of the property owner to provide primary feed, including, but not limited to, hay, grain and supplements, to any horse, mule, donkey or llama kept on the property owner's property.  "Primary feed" specifically does not include native grasses and other native plants growing on the property owner's property.

3.    OTHER LIVESTOCK.

A property owner may keep other species of livestock animals on the property owner's property only as permitted by the Board of Directors of the Association, and only in accordance and with rules, regulations and standards adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Association.

4.    COMPLIANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED LAND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.

Property owners shall comply with generally accepted land management practices for the maintenance of stable facilities and pastures, and shall comply with covenants, rules, regulations and standards for land management as adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Association.

5.    ANIMALS TO BE KEPT WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTY OWNER'S PROPERTY.

All animals either owned by a property owner or for which the property owner is legally responsible shall be kept within the boundaries of the owner's property unless accompanied while off the property by and under the control of the property owner, a member of the property owner's family, or a  designee of the property owner.

6.    FENCING.

Paragraph J of Article Three of the Declaration of Protective Covenants of the Association specifically does not create an inference either in favor of or against entitlement by any property owner to any type of fencing.  Fencing is addressed elsewhere in the Association's governance documents.

This 2007 Amendment shall be deemed effective as of the date of recording.
