A. The Plat is designed for residential living on large residential sites in a suburban atmosphere.
B. The construction site on each of the lots should be located so as to preserve the existing contours, where practicable.
C. The architecture of a residence located on any lot should be compatible with the criteria as established herein and also should be compatible with the external design and general quality of other dwellings constructed or to be constructed within the development.
The Developer reserves the right to control the buildings, structures, and other improvements placed on each lot. The Developer also reserves the right to make such exceptions to these Building and Use Restrictions as the Developer deems necessary and proper, except as limited by the rights of Sunnybrook Country Club set forth herein.

Any lot owner wishing to construct a building, wall, swimming pool, fence, or other structure shall submit plans (two copies) to the Developer indicating the location, nature, kind, shape, height, and materials of the building, wall, swimming pool, fence, or other structure. If the Developer provides written approval for the construction the improvement, the lot owner shall not deviate from the submitted plans unless the lot owner obtains written consent from the Developer for such deviation. The Developer will retain one set of plans, and the second will be returned to the lot owner. Any such improvement shall be in accordance with the plans and plot plans as approved by the Developer. Refusal of approval of plans by the Developer may be based on any ground, including but not limited to the aesthetic value, which shall be in the Developer’s sole discretion. If the Developer fails to approve or disapprove any plans within thirty (30) days after written request by the lot owner, and submission of plans in a form acceptable to Developer, then such approval by the Developer shall be deemed waived; provided that no building or other structure is erected that violates any of the remaining restrictions contained herein.
