Yorkshire Woods residents are responsible for the terms outlined in detail in Article VI of the Covenants and By-Laws.  Here are some of the terms that residents are responsible for, and we appreciate your continued cooperation:  

• Animal, Pet & Leash: No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be raised, bred or kept in any dwelling or on any Lot, except that dogs, cats or other domesticated household pets may be kept, provided that they are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purpose and provided that not more than two (2) pets in the aggregate may be kept on any Lot, other than fish, birds, and other similar small pets for indoor enjoyment. In addition, the pets must be either leashed, fenced, caged or otherwise reasonably restrained and shall not cause a nuisance to other owners, their families and guests.
• Garbage Container: No garbage, or refuse, shall be deposited on any Lot, street, sidewalk, driveway or parking area, unless placed in an appropriate closed container. Containers provided by the Lot Owners shall not be placed on any street, sidewalk, driveway, or parking
• Lawn & Exteriors: Weeds and grass shall be kept cut to reasonable standards on all Lots.  The exterior of all dwellings on Lots, including lawn areas, must be properly maintained so as to present a well-cared-for appearance.
• Tool Shed: Only one single-family detached house, including an attached garage, may be constructed on any Lot f or living purposes. Metal tool sheds which are separate structures from the house and/or garage are specifically prohibited, unless approved by the Board.
• Lot Slope & Configuration: Except during the original development of and dwelling construction on a Lot, the existing slope or configuration of any Lot shall not be altered nor shall any structure, retaining wall, planting or other activity be undertaken which retards, changes or otherwise interferes with the natural flow of surface or drainage waters to the actual or threatened injury of any Lot or to the Common Areas, or which creates erosion or sliding problems.
• Fencing:Fencing shall only be allowed in the rear yard of any Lot and shall only be permitted to extend up to the rear building corner on adjacent Lots. (See the Fencing Alignments attached as Exhibit IICII for typical sketches of permitted fence configurations). Any and all such fencing shall be constructed only of cedar, redwood or pressure treated lumber; shall be four (4') feet in height; shall be designed and constructed for privacy of the area enclosed in only a shadow-box configuration and shall only have a finished top which is straight. Nothing herein precludes the need for any Montgomery Township or other governmental approval that may be required in conjunction with fence installations.
• Dish: There shall be no free-standing antennae, aerials or satellite dishes permitted to be erected on a dwelling or a Lot without prior written consent from the Board of Trustees.
• Structural Improvements:The Lots have been approved to be improved with structures and shall be developed in accordance with the Zoning ordinances of Montgomery Township (the "Ordinances"). The referenced ordinances limit the extent of construction on a Lot by providing building setback requirements and limits on the amount of floor area and impervious area that may be provided on each Lot. By recording of this Declaration, each Owner shall be deemed to be aware that certain Lots approved to be developed by Declarant approach the maximum limits of allowed construction as per the Ordinances. Lot owners anticipating the installation of additional improvements to their Lot or the dwelling thereon beyond those improvements initially constructed by Declarant ("Future Owner Improvements") , including decks, swimming pools, hot tubs, etc., are deemed to be aware of these limitations set forth in the Ordinances. Future Owner Improvements which exceed the then-applicable requirements of the Ordinances will require a variance from the ZBA.
• Wooded / Common Areas: Wooded, open areas of the Common Areas shall remain in their natural state, with the exception of any improvements therein or thereto which shall have been approved for installation by the ZBA or Montgomery Township, including recreation facilities, mulched walking paths with benches, etc. Any clearing of wooded areas of the Common Areas is strictly prohibited. Further, the use of any part of the Common Areas for composting, storage of materials (including firewood) or any other use not intended by this Declaration or the Approval granted by the ZBA is prohibited. Within the open areas of the Common Areas are areas of "wetlands" (so-called) as delineated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (11DEP11). All wetlands are important in protecting supplies of fresh water and providing storage areas for this fresh water. Wetlands areas are regulated by DEPE and the United States Army Corp of Engineers. Further, certain conservation easements in favor of Montgomery Township and buffer easements around such wetlands areas in favor of DEP have been placed on these wetlands areas and their surrounding buffers to insure their protection. Any and all use of wetlands areas in Common Areas shall be in accordance with the requirements of those agencies regulating wetlands and the referenced conservation easements. Limitations and guidelines on and for the use and maintenance of the wetlands and wooded portions of the Common Areas may be appended hereto and made a part hereof in the future.
• Adding Trees / Landscaping in Common Areas: Owners and the Association shall be prohibited from altering any landscaping originally installed in the Common Areas by Declarant but may add landscaping to the Common Areas provided such additional landscaping has been reviewed and approved by the Association. Any such additional landscaping may not be added to those portions of the Common Areas that have been subjected to recorded conservation easements or restrictions unless such proposed, additional landscaping has been explicitly reviewed and approved by the Township and/or its designated landscape architect and any other approving authority as the circumstance may require.
• Snowmobiles & ATVs: No snowmobiles or all-terrain vehicles (ATV's) or similar motorized vehicles shall be permitted to be operated or used on or about the Common Areas.
• Windows:All Owners shall comply with the following regarding windows in dwellings on Lots: (i) on the first floor of a dwelling on a Lot, within five (5) feet of any side Lot line, no windows shall be permitted; (ii), on the first floor of a dwelling on a Lot, on a wall located less than ten (10) feet but more than five (5) feet from a Lot line, windows shall be a minimum of five (5) feet above the outside grade directly adjacent to the window; (iii) on the second floor of a dwelling on a Lot, on walls located within ten (10) feet of a Lot line, window areas shall not exceed 20% of the wall area on any individual room, however windows will be at a minimum where feasible, and (iv) on walls of a dwelling on a Lot, greater than ten (10) feet from a Lot line, no restrictions shall apply.
• Landscaping in Individual Lots: By the municipal Approval granted, certain landscaping is to be placed on individual Lots for the benefit of the Owner and the overall "Yorkshire Woods" community. Each Owner is responsible for the maintenance of this landscaping (including watering) upon acquisition of title by such Owner. Removal of this landscaping without written authorization of the Association is prohibited.
