Handbook Excerpts:
- Room additions and garages will require a $500 deposit with $400 refunded upon satisfactory final inspection. Again, assessments to be imposed against deposit following the above policy for notification.
- Provide septic documentation and permits if adding a bedroom and/or bath.
- Only approved builders are permitted to build in the Painted Hills subdivision. “Approved Builder” is one who agrees to build by the rules, regulations, standards, restrictions and covenants of the Painted Hills subdivision and has been approved by the Architectural Committee.
- No projection of any building can extend nearer than 25 feet from any road right-of-way, nor closer than 10 feet from the side or 20 feet from the rear of any property line. (Road right-of-way extends to lot property line.) No projection may be within 50 feet from the normal waterline of any lake. All conditions must comply with the zoning regulations of Morgan County, Indiana, and the Painted Hills subdivision.
- Silt fence will be installed on any lot(s) before any filling or excavation begins (entrenched six inches). The silt fencing will surround any soil disturbance. The fencing will be placed on property lines except at roadsides and lake sides. On roadsides of lots, the silt fencing must be placed 15 feet or more from the pavement. On the lake side of lots, silt fencing will be set 50 feet away from the lake at normal pool. Any deviation from these distances must be discussed with the Architectural Committee Chairman or his representative. Layout of the silt fencing will be added to the plot plan drawings at application. Failure to maintain the silt fencing will be a stop-work violation. The silt fence will remain in place until grass and/or groundcover has matured (1st mowing) and removal has been approved by the Architectural Committee. No work, excavation, or filling will be allowed outside the silt fence unless authorized, in writing, by the Architectural Committee.
- All dwellings must have no less than a two (2) car garage and must provide ample off street parking. A minimum of 1000 square feet will be required, including driveways, and must be gravel, blacktop, or concrete.
- Architecture must be in harmony with the environment and surrounding homes. No unpainted exteriors will be permitted without permission from the Architectural Committee.
- Paint colors will be approved by the Architectural Committee for new construction.
- Trees may be removed within the home building site. Architectural Committee approval is needed for removal of trees that have a diameter of 6 inches or greater.
