The new amendments read as follows:
Section III.  Paragraph I.  House numbers
All house numbers shall be cast concrete, ceramic, plaque or cast aluminum.  House numbers made of any other type of material such as plastic, brass, vinyl or wood are prohibited.  All house numbers shall be either mortared or mounted to the front exterior of the house or mailbox.
Note:  Approximately 25% of the homes in Bretton Woods do not comply with this covenant.  If you decide to install cast concrete numbers, these numbers can be purchased from Tulsa Casting 366-1272.  If you need a mason, one suggestion would be to contact Larry Honeycutt with MasterCraft Masonry 378-2729.  (He recently completed the new Bretton Woods entrance sign at 71st and Butternut Place.)  If you decide to install ceramic, plaque or cast aluminum numbers, these numbers can be purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Section III.  Paragraph K.  Outbuildings
Outbuildings are prohibited except that each lot may have one outbuilding no larger than 6.5' x 6.5' at the base and 6.5' in height made of hard rubber, blown molding or resin type material (for example: a Rubbermaid type storage building) provided the outbuilding is not visible from any public street.  Outbuildings constructed of any material such as wood or metal are prohibited.  No storage building shall be constructed on a concrete slab.
Note:  When selecting a Rubbermaid type storage building, remember no part of the storage building can be seen from any public street.  If you are not able to place the 6.5' x 6.5' x 6.5' storage building on your lot without it being seen from a public street, you need to consider selecting a smaller model.  If you currently have a Rubbermaid storage building which can be seen from a public street or a storage building which does not comply to this covenant, it will need to be relocated and/or replaced with a model which does comply with this covenant.
Section III.  Paragraph L.  Swimming Pools
Above ground swimming pools are prohibited.
Note:  If you currently have an above ground swimming pool (temporary or not), it will need to be removed from the yard.
Section III.  Paragraph M.  Fencing
Interior fencing or walls shall not extend beyond the building lines of a lot and, if a residence is built behind the front building line of the lot, no fence may extend beyond that point nearest the street at each end corner of the residence, provided however, on corner lots fencing may extend to within 12.5 feed of the street right-of-way forming a side yard boundary of the lot.  Fences shall be of wood, ornamental iron, brick, stucco or stone.  Fences made of any other type of material such as chain link, barbed wire or wire mesh are prohibited.  Wood fencing must be of natural wood or natural wood stain in color.  Ornamental iron fencing must be black in color.  Brick, stucco and stone fencing must match the exterior of the home.  No fence shall exceed 6 feet in height.
Note:  When installing a fence or with any other covenant issue, it is always best to contact the architectural committee for approval to make sure the proposed request is in compliance with the current covenants.
Covenant Compliance Timeline
Homeowners will have until Januray 1, 2005 to make any changes necessary to assure that the property in which you own is within compliance with the current covenants.  These covenants will be strictly enforced.
