NOW, THEREFORE, the Owners declare that all the real property, including all
individual lots and all common areas and easements of the Stratford Place Subdivision shall be
subject to the following Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.

1. Land Use and Building Type.

The lots described herein shall be used for private, single family residential purposes only,
except those lots designated as community lots on the plat of record in the Register’s Office of
Hamilton County, Tennessee. No structures shall be erected, altered, placed, or permitted to
remain on any building site other than one detached single family dwelling, a private garage for
not more than three cars, and other outbuildings incidental to residential use of the premises.

2. Dwelling Size.
No residential structure shall be erected or placed on any building site, which has a ground floor
area, exclusive of open porches and garages, of less than 1600 square feet for a one single story
dwelling, nor a ground floor area of less than 1,200 square feet for a dwelling of more than one
story, with said dwelling of more than one story having a minimum heating living area of 2,000
square feet.
3. Exterior Quality.
There shall be no exposed cinder or concrete block used for the exterior wall of any building.
Any and all buildings constructed, erected or placed on any lot from this time forward must
conform to professionally accepted construction standards and have an exterior appearance
(including shape and color) in conformity and harmony with the setting and existing structures of
Stratford Place Subdivision.

4. Approval of Building Plans

It is suggested that building plans for dwelling units or any outbuildings, including those for
additions and external renovations, be submitted to the Board of Directors before actual
construction is commenced. The building of any dwelling, outbuilding, addition, or renovation
shall be in conformity and harmony with the setting and with the existing structures in the
subdivision and shall conform to accepted construction standards.

5. Division of Lots.
No lot as shown on the plat of record in the Register’s Office of Hamilton County, Tennessee,
may be divided unless such divided portion is added to a contiguous lot of original size as shown
on the above mentioned plat. In the event any such lot is divided and added to an original lot,
these restrictions shall be binding upon the lot of increased size as defined by the relocation
lines. No lot of less than the original size as shown on the plat of record may function as a
separate residential lot.

6. Dwellings, Temporary Structures, Garages, and Outbuildings, Etc.

No mobile home, trailer, tent, shack, barn, unattached garage or any other outbuilding (except
those that otherwise comply with this Declaration, such as pool houses and guest houses) shall be
erected or moved onto any residential lot to be used for human habitation temporarily or
permanently, nor shall any structure of a temporary character be used for human habitation.

7. Building Location.
No building shall be erected or permitted to remain on any of said lots nearer than 75 feet from
the front lot line, nor nearer than 30 feet to the side or rear lot line. If the plat of record shows a
greater number of feet for the set back lines, then said plat of record shall control over the
covenant herein. Any storage unit or shed must be located behind the back of the main dwelling
structure. In the case of a corner lot, a minimum distance of 60 feet must be maintained between
the roof edges of any building and the lot line adjacent to the side street.

8. Lot Maintenance and Improvements.

Each owner shall keep his or her Lot and any structures thereon in good order and repair.
Landscape including lawns shall be kept neat and tidy and shall include but not be limited to the
cutting or removal of tall weeds (greater than one foot) and dead trees at least ten feet from the
curb. No debris or unsightly objects shall be moved onto or kept on any Lot; provided, however,
that construction materials may be kept on any Lot during a reasonable period of construction
thereon. Any modification of any structure by the owner of any Lot, including but not limited to
adding a room or rooms, changing the roof lines, adding decks, or making other material
alterations in the exterior appearance of the structure (including its color) shall be performed in
such a manner as to be consistent and harmonious with the setting and with other homes and
existing structures in the Subdivision. Renters as well as the owners are responsible for the
maintenance and upkeep of the property upon which they reside.

9. Casualty or Destruction of Buildings and Landscape.

Each owner shall be required to rebuild, replace, repair, or clear and landscape, within twelve
months of the event, any building, structure or significant vegetation which shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire, or other casualty. Variations and waivers of this provision may be made only
upon the Board establishing that the overall purpose of these Restrictive Covenants would be
best affected by allowing such a variation. Variations to this section are to be strictly construed
and the allowance of such a variance by the Board shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the
binding effect of this section upon all other owners.

10. Antennae, Satellite Dishes, and Other Electronic Devices.

No television or radio antenna, satellite dish, or other electronic device of a similar nature shall
be placed on the roof of any building or on the front two-thirds (2/3) of any Lot. Any such device
is to be restricted to the rear one-third (1/3) portion of the particular Lot, except for small satellite
dishes that are attached to the side of the main dwelling. If such device is freestanding, it may not
be taller than ten (10) feet in height.

11. Sight Distances at Intersections and Driveways.

No fence, wall, hedge or shrub planting which obstructs sight lines at elevations between two
and six feet above the roadways shall be placed or permitted to remain on any corner lot within
the triangular area formed by the street property line and the lines connecting them at points 25
feet from the intersection of the street lines, or in the cases of rounded property corners, from the
intersection line of the street property lines extended. The same sight line limitations shall apply
on any lot within ten feet from the intersection of a street property line with the edge of a
driveway pavement. No trees shall be permitted to remain within such distances of such
intersection lines unless the foliage line is maintained at a sufficient height to prevent obstruction
of such sight lines.

12. Signs.
Only one sign of not more than six square feet shall be permitted for public display on any lot
advertising the property for sale or rent. Additionally, one open house sign may be displayed at
the front entrance of the subdivision not to exceed a maximum of three consecutive days. One
smaller sign not larger than one square foot may also be displayed on a lot for any other reason.
The Board of Directors may also place signs throughout the subdivision at its discretion for a
community sponsored yard sale. All signs thus permitted must be of professional quality.

13. Nuisances.
No noxious, offensive or illegal activity shall be carried on upon any lot, nor shall anything be
done thereon which may be or may become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. All
pets belonging to owners or guests of any Lot shall be confined to the boundaries of their
respective lots, and shall never be allowed to roam the Stratford Place Subdivision residential
lots, common areas or streets unattended. Additionally, any dog who is accompanied by its
owner or interested person outside of the boundaries of the lot where the dog belongs is to be on
a leash at all times.
14. Livestock and Poultry.
No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept on any Lot, except that
dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept in reasonable numbers for the pleasure of the
occupants, provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose.

15. Housing and Parking of Vehicles.

The keeping of recreational vehicles, motorboats, houseboats and other similar land or water
going vehicles is permitted provided they are properly housed within a structure which meets the
specifications outlined in these covenants or at a minimum behind the front line of the house.
Inoperable automobiles must either be disposed of within one month or kept inside a garage. The
parking of any of the above mentioned vehicles, including but not limited to tractor trailers and
recreational vehicles on the street overnight is prohibited.

16. Fences.
Fences shall not be placed any closer to the road than the back line of the main residence, except
for pool fences. Chain-link fences may be used only if they cannot be seen from the road. Any
fences in place prior to these amended covenants taking effect shall be allowed to stand.
However, all fences and walls must be kept neat, well maintained and structurally sound.

17. Swimming Pools, Pool Houses and Tennis Courts

Any swimming pool, bathhouse or tennis court must be located to the rear or side of the
residence, and the pool must be enclosed for safety by a fence in compliance with Hamilton
County regulations. Pool houses and the construction thereof must conform to and be in harmony
with the existing setting and other structures in the Subdivision. All fences and walls must be
kept neat, maintained and structurally sound.

18. Garbage and Refuse Disposal; Utility Meters

No Lot shall be used or maintained as a dumping ground for rubbish. Trash, garbage, debris or
other waste shall only be kept in sanitary containers, and should be disposed of at least weekly.
No utility meters or trash receptacles shall be placed in front of any residence unless obscured
from view of the street. Trash receptacles are to be removed from the curbside within 24 hours
after being emptied by the trash disposal service.

19. Underground Wiring and Pipes, Etc.

All wiring, pipes and similar lines that are to be run from the street to any particular Lot for gas,
water, sewer, telephone, cable TV, electric or any other utility service shall be underground.

20. Common Areas.

No trash, rubbish, lawn or yard clippings of any kind are permitted to be dumped on any of the
common areas of Stratford Place Subdivision. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors of
the Stratford Place Subdivision to have the common areas regularly mowed and maintained free
of trash and litter. Tall weeds and dead vegetation will not be permitted within ten feet from the
curb line or in front of the tree line, whichever is greater.

21. Easements.
Each of the Lots of the Subdivision are subject to perpetual easements for installation and
maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities and are reserved as shown on the recorded plat of
the Stratford Place Subdivision. The granting of these easements or the right of access shall not
prevent the use of the area by the owner for any permitted purposes; provided, however, that no
structure of any kind shall be erected or maintained upon or over said easements, except
structures necessary for public utilities. A right of pedestrian access by way of a driveway or
open lawn area shall also be granted on each Lot, to the extent that such may be reasonably
necessary, from the front Lot line to the rear Lot line to any utility company having an
installation or repair in the easement. The easement area of each Lot and all improvements in it
shall be maintained continuously by the owner of the Lot, except for those improvements for
which a public authority or public utility company is responsible. The owner of any Lot
burdened by a drainage easement shall be required to keep the easement open and clear for the
flow of water and shall not dam or permit the easement to become clogged so as to prevent the
free flow of water over and through said drainage easement.

22. Renew ability of Covenants.

These covenants shall run with the land and shall be binding on all parties and all persons
claiming under them until December 1, 2017 (ten year period). At that time said covenants shall
automatically be extended for successive periods of ten years unless by vote of a majority of the
then owners of the building sites covered by these covenants it is agreed to change said
covenants in whole or in part.
23. Enforcement of Covenants.
In the event of the violation, or attempted violation, of any one or more of the provisions
of these Restrictive Covenants, the Board, its successors and/or assigns, including owners
of any one or more of the Lots to which the provisions of these Restrictive Covenants
apply, may bring an action or actions against the Owner in violation, or attempted
violation for damages, injunctive relief, or both. The said Owner shall further be liable
for such additional damages as may accrue, including any court costs and reasonable
attorney fees incident to any such proceeding. By reason of the rights of enforcement of
the provisions of this section being given unto Owners of Lots (subject to rights of
variances reserved by the Board), it shall not be incumbent upon the Board to enforce the
provisions of these Restrictive Covenants or to prosecute any violation thereof.

24. Severability
Invalidation of any one of these covenants or any part thereof by judgment or court order
shall in no wise affect any of the remaining provisions which shall remain in full force
and effect.

25. Right to Waive Violation of Covenants.

The Stratford Place Board of Directors reserves unto itself, its successors, heirs or
assigns, the right to waive any violation of said restrictive covenants, which it deems to
be minor in character and not to adversely affect the overall purpose sought to be attained
by reason of these restrictions.
