The Declarant proposes to subdivide the property into lots for sale to the general public. By this Declaration, Declarant intends to establish certain restrictions on the lots for the benefit and protection of the future and present owners of the lots and for the establishment and maintenance of sound values for the lots. The restrictions herein are intended to run with the land, and to inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each interest so conveyed or reserved and all parties having or acquiring any right, title, interest or estate therein.
1.
This Declaration shall be applicable to those certain lots within the above Land Lots, as depicted on plats of survey filed of record in Gilmer County bearing express reference to the terms hereof, and effective as to the lots shown on all such plats as of the date of filing of record.

The Committee shall have authority to review and approve all plans for construction upon subdivision lots. No lot owner or any other person shall engage in the construction of a building upon a subdivision lot without first obtaining the written approval of the Committee. Application shall be in writing and shall provide such information as the Committee may reasonably require. In the event that the Committee fails to approve or disapprove such application within thirty (30) days after submission, approval shall be granted automatically.
4.
No mobile homes shall be located on any lot. The location of recreational vehicles on lots on a temporary basis shall be subject to regulation by the POA, as the same may be amended from time to time.
5.
The establishment, maintenance and use of all lots or parcels of land within the subdivision with regard to the disposal of sewerage and effluent shall be done in strict compliance with currently existing State and County Health Regulations. In particular no outside toilets shall be allowed on any lot in the subdivision, and no waste or effluent shall be permitted to enter any of the streams. Further all sanitary arrangements must be inspected and approved by local or State Health Officers.
6.
Each lot owner agrees to have the location of any well or septic tank first approved by the Gilmer County Health Department or any successor body of appropriate jurisdiction, prior to the construction of such facilities.
7.
The erection of any permanent or temporary dwelling or appurtenant building thereto shall be placed at least thirty-five feet (35) from the front and rear lines of the property, and at least ten (10) feet from the sidelines of the property, and at least ten (10) feet from the sidelines of any abutting property owner; provided, however, if a building set back line is shown on a recorded plat, the line as shown on the plat shall prevail over this declaration. The POA Board of Directors is hereby empowered to grant variances from the set back provisions herein upon written application by the owner of the lot for which the variance is sought.
8.
No animals or fowl shall be maintained or kept on any lot or parcel of land except household pets, which pets must be confined to the owner’s lot or parcel of land unless such pet is on leash or under the direct supervision of said owner or his agent while in the subdivision area.

Declarant for itself, its successors and assigns, reserves easements for the installation and maintenance of all utilities and drains along a strip of land ten (10) feet in width contiguous to all lot lines and subdivision boundaries, and as may be shown on plats of the property herein. Declarant, for itself, its successors and assigns reserves the right of ingress and egress to such areas for the purpose of maintaining, installing and operating any of the above-mentioned installations.
10.
No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on, on any lot or parcel of land, nor shall anything be done thereon which shall be or become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood.

No advertising activity of any kind shall be allowed on any lot or parcel of land. Signs for the advertising of lots by the lot owner shall be approved by the POA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
13.
There is established a private security force for the safety and protection of lot owners and their property. The security force shall be maintained by the POA and shall have such powers as the POA shall see fit to confer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security force shall monitor entry into the subdivision and restrict such entry to lot owners, their guests and other authorized personnel. The security force shall also have the authority to restrict temporary the entry of any person who it reasonably determines will present an immediate threat to persons or property within the subdivision.
14.
Lot owners in the subdivision, by acceptance of a deed or by entering into a contract for the purchase of a lot in the subdivision shall become members of the Eagle’s Mountain Resort Property Owners’ Association (“POA”), a non-profit Georgia corporation, and covenant and agree to pay the POA annual membership dues and such special assessments as may hereafter be charged by the POA in accordance with its charter and by-laws.
The annual membership dues shall be used by the POA for the purpose of maintaining roads and amenities with the subdivision, and for such other purposes, which may from time to time be authorized by the Board of Directors of the POA.
All such assessments, together with charges, interest, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, in the maximum amount permitted by law, shall be a lien upon the lot against which each assessment is made. Such amounts shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the owner of the lot at the time when the assessment fell due. Each owner shall be liable for his or her portion of each assessment coming due while he or she is the owner of a lot and his or her grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for such portions thereof as may be due and payable at the time of conveyance.
Any assessments, which are not paid when due, shall be delinquent. Any assessment delinquent for a period of more than ten (10) days shall incur a late charge of ten percent (10%) of the amount due. Said amount together with the late charge shall accrue interest at the maximum allowable rate. If the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days, a lien as herein provided for shall attach, and said lien shall include the late charge, interest, all costs of collection and reasonable attorney’s fees. In the event the assessment remains unpaid after sixty (60) days, the POA may, as the Board shall determine, institute suit to collect such amounts and to foreclose its lien. Each Owner, by his or her acceptance of a deed to a lot, vests in the POA or its agents the right and power to bring all actions against him or her personally for the collection for such charges as a debt or to foreclose the aforesaid lien in the same manner as other liens for the improvement of real property.
15.
An invalidation of one or more of these covenants or restrictions shall in no way effect any of the remaining provisions herein, which shall thereafter remain in full force and effect.
