Article 8: Temporary Structures (Original LUR Text)

No house trailer, tent, shed, barn or other temporary building of any nature shall be placed or constructed on any lot; provided, however, that a temporary office or work shed may, following approval thereof by Developer or its assignee, be maintained upon any lot or lots by any building contractor or sales agency in connection with the erection and sale of dwellings in the subdivision, but such temporary structure shall be removed at completion of construction or sale of the dwellings, whichever is applicable, or within ten (10) days following notice from Developer or its assignee. No such temporary buildings shall ever be used for residential purposes.

What It Means (Plain-Language Interpretation)

This restriction prohibits residents from placing or building any temporary structures—like trailers, tents, barns, or sheds—on their lots for personal use. The only exception is for approved temporary structures used by builders or sales agents during active home construction or sales. These must be removed once their purpose is fulfilled or when formally notified. Importantly, no temporary structures can ever be used as housing.

How This Affects Us

Residents cannot bring in RVs, trailers, or sheds to live in or store permanently on their property. This protects the visual quality and long-term planning of the neighborhood. Builders can still operate on lots during construction, but they must clean up and remove temporary buildings once the job is done.

Why This Matters to Us

Allowing temporary buildings or mobile homes would lower the aesthetic and potentially the value of our community. This restriction ensures long-term quality and consistency, making sure that homes are built to permanent residential standards and that no one turns a lot into an unsightly or semi-permanent work zone. It also maintains a clear distinction between a developing neighborhood and a finished, well-maintained residential community.
