Board Proposed Covenant Change To Cottage Industry

Cottage industry is defined in 3.08 as Cottage Industry. An industry whose labor force consists primarily of family or communal units working at home

Because this definition limits the size and location for operating a small business, I suggest the following change is needed to further define where, and how a cottage industry may operate within the Community.

5.08 5.06. Cottage Industry and Light Manufacturing. Nothing stated herein shall prevent a Landowner from carrying on cottage industries, home occupations, home businesses, professions, warehousing and activities of light manufacturing located entirely in a Landowner’s dwelling or the one auxiliary building allowed per parcel which produce no substantial sound, odor or vibration such as to be a nuisance to others and which are not in violation of any other provision of these covenants and do not change the residential nature of the Community.
