Before installing a satellite dish or receiving antenna, residents must adhere to specific rules and regulations to ensure proper installation and maintain the community's safety and aesthetics. Satellite dishes must be professionally installed, limited to one meter in size, and placed in a location that minimizes visibility from the street.
Owners are responsible for maintenance and must execute a Hold Harmless Agreement. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in removal of the dish at the owner's expense or additional costs for any necessary repairs.

Antennas/Satellite Dishes
Television antennas, radio receiver, and satellite dishes larger than one (1) meter in diameter are prohibited on the property.
Any owner interested in installing a satellite dish one (1) meter or less in
diameter must notify the Board and obtain instructions for installation within
seven (7) days prior the date of installation.
Satellite dishes may only be installed on portions of Property within the
Owner’s exclusive use or control and the rear of the home such that it is not
visible from the street. Any owner who is unable to receive the necessary signal should contact the Board for an alternate location.
To protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents, all satellite
dishes must be professionally installed by a contractor. The contractor must
provide proof that he is insured and licensed prior to commencing work. All wires must be encased in molding which matches the color of the building.
In order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the residents and their
property the Board reserves the right to inspect the installation and maintenance of the satellite dish.
Once installed, the owner shall be responsible for all maintenance of the
dish. If additional cost is required to maintain any portion of property on which the dish is installed, the Board may assess this cost back to the Owner. If it is
necessary for the Association to remove the satellite dish to perform
maintenance, the owner will be advised accordingly. Failure to keep the satellite dish in good repair, may result in the removal of the dish at the owners’ expense.

Upon transference of the ownership or occupancy of the dwelling, the
Owner shall inform the successor in title, including any purchaser by Articles of
Agreement for Warranty Deed, or tenant, of the existence of these Rules and
Regulations and the obligations set forth herein. All obligations herein shall run
with the land and shall pass to any successor in interest. If the transferee is
unwilling to assume the responsibilities set forth herein, and execute a new Hold Harmless Agreement, the dish must be removed prior to conveyance.
