Article 10: Mineral Operations (Original LUR Text)

No oil, oil development operations, oil refining, quarrying or mining operation of any kind shall be permitted upon or in any lot, nor shall any wells (other than water wells) be permitted upon or in any lot. No derrick or other structures designed for the use of boring for oil or natural gas shall be erected, maintained or permitted upon any lot.

What It Means (Plain-Language Interpretation)

This rule prevents property owners from using their lots for commercial or industrial resource extraction. Even if a property sits on valuable mineral resources, homeowners are not allowed to tap into them. It keeps the neighborhood strictly residential and avoids disturbances, hazards, and eyesores associated with such operations.

How This Affects Us

This rule prevents property owners from using their lots for commercial or industrial resource extraction. Even if a property sits on valuable mineral resources, homeowners are not allowed to tap into them. It keeps the neighborhood strictly residential and avoids disturbances, hazards, and eyesores associated with such operations.

Why This Matters to Us

Oil drilling, mining, and similar industrial activities are noisy, dangerous, and disruptive. They pose environmental risks, safety concerns, and would drastically change the peaceful residential character of Sports Flyer's Estates. This restriction ensures a safe, quiet, and clean community environment and protects property values for all residents.
