No building, wall fence or any other improvement shall be erected or placed on, nor shall any building, wall, fence or any other improvement be altered, modified, added to or removed from any lot until the construction plans and specifications thereof and a plan showing the location of all buildings, walls, fences and other improvements, including, but not limited to, driveways and setbacks have been approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee, hereafter called “Committee”. Nor shall the topography of the lot be enlarged in any way which will impede, restrict or in any way divert the flow of water without the prior written approval of the Committee.

  1. SIDEWALKS

This provision may not be amended or altered in any way without the prior written approval of the applicable governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Subdivision.

  1. TERM

These covenants run with the land and shall be binding on all persons claiming under them until January 1, 2019 (“initial term”), at which time said covenants shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) years each (“renewal term”) unless, by vote of a majority of the then- owners of the lots encumbered by this Declaration, it is agreed to change said Declaration in whole or in part.

Any such instrument of amendment or termination must be executed and acknowledged by fifty- one percent (51%) of the then-owners of the lots encumbered by this Declaration and filed of record in the Official Real Property Records of county(s) in which the Subdivision is located, Texas. The instrument of amendment shall be effective to amend this Declaration when such instrument is filed of record. The instrument of termination shall be effective to terminate this Declaration at the expiration of the initial term, if such instrument is filed of record during the initial term hereof; or if such instrument is filed of record during any renewal term, this Declaration shall be terminated at the end of such renewal term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Declarant, its successors or assigns, may amend these covenants at any time, or from time to time, in order to correct any typographical errors or other errors or omissions which, in the discretion of the developer, its successors or assigns, may require amendment in order to properly reflect the intent hereof. Such amendments to correct typographical errors or other errors or omissions shall be effective on the date that such amendment is filed of record in the Official Real Property Records of the county(s) in which the Subdivision is located, Texas by the Declarant, its successors or assigns. Notwithstanding  anything  hereinabove, no amendment shall be effective until the approval of any governmental regulatory body which is required shall have been obtained.

  1. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE

In the event the owner of any lot shall fail to maintain the premises and the improvements situated thereon in a neat and orderly manner, the Committee shall have the right, through its agents and employees, to enter upon said lot and to repair, maintain and restore the lot and exteriors of the buildings and any other improvements erected thereon, all at the expense of the owner.

  1. ENFORCEMENT

If the owner of any lot, or his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns or tenants shall violate or attempt to violate any of the covenants set forth in this Declaration, it shall be lawful for any person, or persons, owning any lot encumbered by this Declaration, or Declarant, to prosecute any proceedings against the person, or persons, violating, or attempting to violate, any such covenants. The failure of the owner or tenant to perform his obligations hereunder would result in irreparable damage to the Declarant and other owners of lots in the Subdivision, thus the breach of any provisions of this Declaration may not only give rise to an action for damages at law, but also may be enjoined by an action for specific performance in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such action may be brought against any person, firm or corporation violating, or apparently about to violate, any of these covenants, either before such violation occurs or within a reasonable time thereafter, for an appropriate order or injunction of either a restraining or mandatory nature, or both, and of either a temporary or permanent nature, or both, including, but not limited to, one restraining construction of any improvements commenced, or about to be commenced, without the prior written approval of the Committee or for the removal of any improvement constructed without the prior written approval of the Committee. In the event enforcement actions are instituted and the party bringing such action is successful in obtaining any relief, then in addition to the remedies specified above, the party or parties against whom such relief was granted shall pay to the enforcing party costs and reasonable attorney’s fees in such amount as the court may determine. Failure to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.

  1. SEVERANCE

In the event any of the foregoing covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations or charges is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the other covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations or charges. If one of the foregoing is subject to more than one interpretation, the interpretation which more clearly reflects the intent hereof shall be enforced.
