Article 15: Signs, Advertisements and Billboards (Original LUR Text)

No signs, billboards, posters or advertising devices of any character shall be erected on any lot except one sign of not more than ten square feet advertising the property for sale or rent or signs used by a builder to advertise the property for sale during the construction and sales period. The right is reserved for builders, provided consent is obtained from the Developer, which cannot be unreasonably withheld, to construct and maintain signs, billboards or advertising devices for the purpose of advertising for sale dwellings constructed by the builders and not previously sold by such builder.

What It Means (Plain-Language Interpretation)

Homeowners are not allowed to put up signs of any kind except:– One small “For Sale” or “For Rent” sign (up to 10 sq. ft.)– A builder’s sign during active construction and sales• Builders may install additional marketing signs only if the Developer gives permission, and the Developer cannot “unreasonably withhold” that consent.• No large commercial advertisements, billboards, political signs, business signs, or other displays are allowed under this article.

How This Affects Us

Keeps the neighborhood uncluttered and free of excessive sign pollution.• Prevents commercial advertising or political clutter that can degrade the community’s appearance.• Protects property values by ensuring a consistent visual look.• Gives builders a limited but controlled ability to market new homes.• Confirms that sign control authority rests with the Developer’s successor—the Maintenance Committee, not any HOA.

Why This Matters to Us

This is another covenant confirming that sign control was intentionally tied to the Developer and its successor, not to any future or mandatory HOA.• The Developer never established an HOA to inherit this authority—only the Maintenance Committee.• This supports the legal position that Justin’s HOAs do not inherit enforcement powers that were never granted to HOAs in the original documents.• The restrictions remain consistent between both phases, reinforcing the long-standing governance structure.• Helps maintain the airpark’s aesthetics and prevents uncontrolled signage or advertising.
