TYPICAL RESTRICTIVE AND PROTECTIVE COVENANTS COVERING
THE PLATS OF PORT LUDLOW NOS. 1,2,3,4,5 AND 6
(For verification as to each plat, reference must be made to the recorded Declaration filed
on each subdivision.)
POPE AND TALBOT, INC., (herein "Grantor"), a Washington corporation hereby
declares and certifies restriction upon the land subject hereto as follows:
1. Membership in Maintenance Commission: The owner of each lot in platted
land now or hereafter subject hereto shall, by such ownership, be a member of LUDLOW
MAINTENANCE COMMISSION, INC. (herein "Maintenance Commission"), a non-
profit corporation, formed under the laws of the State of Washington, and shall continue a
member thereof while an owner, subject to the Articles and Bylaws of said corporation:
"owner" for purpose hereof is the person (or if more than one, then collectively) entitled
by deed or real estate contract to the occupancy of a lot or lots in the platted land subject
hereto.
2. Assessments and Lien: The Maintenance Commission is empowered to
establish assessment upon lots in platted land subject hereto for the common benefit of
such lots as to utilities, roadways, property protection, drainage, landscaping, insurance,
improvement, and payment of taxes upon common property and the holding of ownership
or leasehold therein, or otherwise for common purposes, all as determined pursuant to the
Articles and Bylaws of the Maintenance Commission. Such assessments shall constitute
a lien upon each such lot as of the due date thereof, and such lien may be foreclosed by
the Maintenance Commission in the same form and manner of procedure as the
foreclosure of a real property mortgage lien under the laws of the State of Washington,
each owner, and each party hereafter owning or claiming an interest in one or more lots
within the platted land subject hereto, agreeing and recognizing that expenses of title
examination and assurance, costs of attorney of the Maintenance Commission, court costs
and interest at 10% per annum shall be included with the amount of any delinquent
assessment in the judgment of foreclosure of such lien. The authority to establish
assessments and lien therefore against lots within the plats subject hereto shall, as to each
lot, first arise when the same is first sold by deed or real estate contract from the Grantor
herein, its successors or assigns, as developer of a plat within the property described in
Exhibit A to a grantee or contract purchaser thereof. Assessments shall be assessed and
collected on a fair and uniform basis as among lots subject thereto, subject only to such
reasonable differential as may be established by the Bylaws of the Maintenance
Commission between improved lots and unimproved lots.
3. Land Use: Lots within the area now or hereafter subject hereto shall be
utilized solely for single family residential use consisting of single residential dwelling
and such outbuildings (garage, nor more than one guest cottage, patio structure) as
consistent with permanent or recreational residence. Structure shall be of new
construction and shall not be commenced until building permit or appropriate public body

is obtained, together with architectural control approved as provided in paragraph 4.
Progress of construction shall be steadily progressed and exterior to be completed within
twelve months from commencement of construction. No trailers, mobile homes, tent
houses or temporary structures shall be installed upon any lot except solely as necessary
during active construction period as limited.
4. Architectural Control Committee: No building or structure (including fences
or any manmade obstruction) shall be built or placed or thereafter altered on any lot, nor
shall a lot be cleared or excavated for use, nor shall any tree of six-inch or more breast-
high diameter be cut, until after the details and written plans and specifications thereof
disclosing clearing, size, materials, location, finish and elevation (and as to tree cutting,
with specific identification of individual trees to be cut) have been submitted to and
approved by the committee referred to herein. The Architectural Control Committee
shall consist of five individuals who shall be appointed by and subject to removal or
replacement by the Board of Trustees of the Maintenance Commission. Address of the
Architectural Control committee shall be in care of the Maintenance Commission at its
registered office, 208 Second and University Building, Seattle, Washington 98101, or at
such other registered office location as may hereafter be established. Within thirty days
of submission of plans and specifications to such committee, such committee by a
majority vote and in writing may approve or disapprove or may conditionally approve
plans and specifications so submitted. If such plans and specification be so disapproved
(or if conditionally approved, then unless the condition thereof be complied with) the
projected construction shall not be undertaken, or if undertaken in violation hereof, may
be abated by legal proceedings instituted by any party having an interest in the
enforcement hereof as provided in paragraph 9 below at any time until but not after
completion of the projected construction. Construction, clearing, or excavation
undertaken without submitting details, plans, and specifications as aforesaid, shall be
subject to action under paragraph 9 below, irrespective of time of completion thereof.
The committee shall in good faith exercise discretionary approval and disapproval of
plans and specifications on a basis of minimizing interference with enjoyment of nearby
lots and of enforcing an improvement use and occupancy of the platted area in a pleasing
but not necessarily uniform combination of permanent residences and recreational homes.
5. Easement, Roads and Reserve Property: By this declaration, Grantor confirms
the granting and reservation of easements, the dedication of public roads and the
designation of reserve property, all as shown upon the Plat of Port Ludlow No. One, filed
contemporaneously herewith, and reserves unto itself, successors and assigns, the right
similarly to grant reserve, dedicate and designate such matters in future plats subjected
hereto. Grantor reserves unto itself the right to transfer title or to contract therefore or to
lease or grant the "reserve" property as designated upon the plat or plats which are
subject hereto, to the Maintenance Commission, or to grant, contract or lease easements,
rights or permits for utility services to any utility district, utility company or public body
for purposes of installation, maintenance, replacement or extension of utility services
useful to the area subject hereto. Title to the "reserve" property is reserved to the
Grantor, its successors and assigns until transferred to the Maintenance Commission or
public body. Use or enjoyment of the "reserve" property for any purposes or uses by or
2
It
e
for lot owners is permissive only, and no rights by prescription or adverse user as to the
"reserve" property or any part hereof shall accrue in favor of any lot or lots owners.
6. Nuisance or Offensive Use: No nuisance or offensive use shall be conducted or
suffered as to lots subject hereto, nor shall any lot be utilized for industrial or commercial
use (excepting only, appropriate real estate signs not exceeding 30"x 30" in size, in sale
of lots; Grantor further reserving unto itself, its successors and assigns, as to each plat
which is filed or recorded as subject hereto, the right, for a period of five years from the
filing ofthe respective plats to operate a conventional real estate sales or agency office
upon an unsold lot within such plat), nor as a dump, nor shall there be kept animals or
stock or any kind, other than conventional domestic pets (provided that the Maintenance
Commission may establish permissive rules for the maintenance of trained riding horses).
All garbage and refuse shall be stored on the owner's lot, in sanitary containers, obscured
from public view and shall be regularly hauled by, or for the owner to public dump or
other suitable dump site not within the area subject hereto.
7. Utilities: As to each lot in the area now or hereafter subject hereto, it is
required, as a covenant running with the land, that, upon the raising or maintenance of a
habitable structure thereon, there be established and maintained by the owner of such lot
a connection with electric and water and sewer utility lines, each as then available to the
lot, upon the contract terms (including lien rights for service) then prevailing by the
utility district or company providing such services; and, as such utility services may
become available at a later date, any then existing utility systems including water, sewer,
electric, gas, cable television and telephone, shall be underground exclusively. There is
reserved to the utility district or utility company providing utility service, the exclusive
right to connect improvement upon the lots with the utility service lines, for which
service the lot owner will pay the then prevailing price for such connection as charged by
such utility district or company and the charges therefore shall together with regular
utility service charges, be a lien upon the lot, subject on nonpayment to foreclosure
action, including costs, interest and reasonable attorney's fees, as in the case of a real
property mortgage lien. In those portions of the area subject hereto where sewers are or
become available, the lot owner will, at the owner's expense and before occupancy of
improvements upon the lot (or if sewer service lines become available after occupancy of
improvements, then forthwith upon such availability), request connection thereof to the
sanitary sewer line which is available for such service, the connection to be effected by
the utility district or company providing such utility service, at its then prevailing charge
for such connection. No pit (or equivalent) toilet facility shall be constructed or used and
each residence shall, before occupancy, be connected at owner's expense with either: (i)
septic tank and drain field as approved by public authorities and installed at owner's
expense, if sewer service line is not then available, or (ii) available sanitary sewer service
line, whenever such sewer service line is available. When and for so long as public water
source shall be created or used for lots subject hereto and each residence structure shall
be connected at owner's expense to such public water system.
8. Amendments: This declaration may be amended or terminated by duly
recorded amendatory declaration, signed and acknowledged by owners (as said term is

used herein) of at least 80% of all lots within platted areas which are then subject hereto
(each lot being entitled to one vote), provided that no more onerous restrictions than
those herein may be thereby applied as to have effect as to existing noncompliance
therewith unless the same be unanimously so approved and recorded, and provided
further than the right of assessment and lien and required utility connections, in favor of
the Maintenance Commission, Utility District or company, as above provided may not be
restricted or eliminated except as approved by resolution regularly adopted by the Board
of Trustees of said Maintenance Commission.
9. Enforcement: In the event of violation of the terms hereof, any owner of any
lot subject hereto, or the Maintenance Commission above provided for, may institute
proceedings for abatement or injunction or for property subject hereto, each owner and
the Maintenance Commission being recognized to have a proper interest in the matters
herein provided for, and the matters provided for herein being recognized as specifically
enforceable.
10. Severability: The provisions hereof are severable, and the invalidation of any
part of parts hereof shall not thereby disqualify or invalidate the other provisions hereof
which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
11. Integrity of Lots: Where the terms "lot" and "lots" are used in this
declaration, the same refer to a lot or lots as platted according to a recorded plat thereof
which is subject hereto, as executed and recorded in Jefferson County, Washington, by
Grantor herein; and Maintenance Commission membership, assessments and liens, and
restrictions of use, shall apply to lots as so platted; no platted lot shall be re-platted except
as this declaration be so amended as specifically to permit the same, all in accordance
with the requirements of paragraph 8 hereof, nor shall any division, re-division or
consolidation of platted lots or portions thereof have the effect of relieving the
application of restrictive covenants to the platted lots as platted.

purpose. Only members of the same class of membership interest (i.e., condominium-unit

provided by law for foreclosure of real property mortgage liens. The lien hereof shall not affect
third parties except as to the extent that a notice of claim of lien be placed on record in the office

an affirmative vote in favor of such action shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the
participating lot-owner members and the affirmative vote of a majority of the participating
condominium unit-owner members. "Participating" as used here shall mean attending in person
or by proxy.
SECTION 2. No amendment of these Bylaws shall create any discriminatory provision as to the

3. No Nuisance, Industrial or Commercial Use.
a. No nuisance shall be conducted or permitted on any lot, nor shall any other offensive use be

i. It shall be a nuisance subject to the prohibition of this subparagraph for an
owner to permit to remain on his or her lot a tree, dead or alive, that may reasonably
be expected to be blown down and injure or damage the person or property of
another. If the Operations Committee determines that any tree is a hazard, the owner
shall be informed by registered mail and ordered to remove said tree within 30 days
of receipt of notice? '

7. No Encroachment. There shall be no encroachment upon reserve areas or easements.
8. Maintenance. Owners and occupants of improved lots shall maintain the grounds and
improvements on their premises in a neat, clean and attractive condition, and in good repair,
and in such fashion as not to create a fire hazard. Such maintenance shall include, without
limitation, painting, repair, replacement and care for roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior
building surfaces, walks and other exterior improvements, and glass surfaces. In addition each
owner and each occupant of an improved lot shall keep all shrubs, trees, grass and plantings of

other unsightly materials. Damage caused by fire, flood, storm, earthquake, riot, vandalism, or
other causes shall likewise be the responsibility of each owner.

reasons of enjoyment and property value; so, when landscaping their own lots, owners and
occupants should select varieties of shrubs and trees which will not grow higher than the roof
height limit set for their lots by the ACC. Hedges, shrubs and rows of trees planted by owners
or occupants along property lines shall be pruned so as not to exceed a height of eight feet. A
scattering of tall evergreens is encouraged, however, to enhance the beauty of the neighborhood
as long as views from neighboring lots are not unduly impaired. Trees of six inches or more
breast high diameter may not be cut, therefore, without authorization pursuant to Regulation II,
Article I, Paragraph 2. When owners or occupants of developed or undeveloped lots elect to
prune or remove hedges, shrubs or other brush, or trees from their lots, trunks and branches
shall be removed or burned within a reasonable time not to exceed six months. If the trunks,
branches or other debris are gathered into a burn pile, the pile shall be removed or burned
within two months.
10. Outdoor Burning.4 The wooded environment of Port Ludlow where an open fire creates a
serious hazard necessitates community control of open fires. Outdoor burning is generally
discouraged. Burning of yard debris on owner's property is permitted only under the following
limited conditions:
a. A burn permit must be obtained from the local fire department before burning occurs.
All open fires on a member's property shall be in strict compliance with the conditions
and guidelines set by the Jefferson County Fire Protection District No.3, Port Ludlow
Fire and Rescue and described in the Residential Burning Permit issued by that
agency.
b. Only one open fire fueled with wood, brush or yard clippings and limited to four (4)
feet in diameter shall be allowed at any time. The burning of garbage is prohibited.
c. The burning of lot-clearing debris and construction materials is strictly prohibited.
Such debris and material must be removed and disposed of in an appropriate manner.

APPROV AL REQUIREMENT
1. Approval Required.5 No lot shall be cleared or excavated for construction, nor shall
percolation testing holes be dug, until ACC approval is received. All construction on any
property, including exterior lighting, is likewise subject to approval as prescribed in this
Regulation.
2. Cutting of Trees. No tree of six inches or more breast high diameter shall be cut, topped, or
limbed until it has been individually identified to be cut and ACC approval is received. In
determining whether or not to approve an application to cut, top, or limb a tree, consideration
shall be given to the following:
a. Views and sunlight are important to owners and occupants for reasons of enjoyment
and property value;
b. A scattering of tall evergreens is encouraged to enhance the beauty of the
neighborhood, as long as views from neighboring lots are not unduly impaired; and
c. An important function of large trees is absorption of runoff; so trees should not be cut
if a drainage problem will be created.
d. If the Operations Committee determines that a tree is a hazard and, therefore, a
nuisance under Regulation I, Article I, Paragraph 3 (a), it is required to inform the
owner by registered mail and order the tree's removal by the owner within 30 days of
receipt of notice. The Operations Committee shall inform the ACC of all such removal
orders.6

structures on lots are subject to approval by the ACC.

obstruction or other installation that was originally subject to ACC approval shall have exterior
remodeling or rebuilding, without additional ACC approval in advance. The ACC approval
shall state the time limit within which the remodeling or rebuilding is to be completed, which
may be extended at the discretion of the ACC. Exterior repainting or restaining must conform
with the design considerations set forth in Article II of this Regulation.
5. Antennas: Homeowners are encouraged to use the commercial cable television service to
receive television in their homes. Radio and television antennas may be permitted. Objections
from adjoining neighbors will be considered.

the roof or away from the house and masked by shrubbery, so that its visibility is
minimized to the extent possible consistent with technical requirements for adequate
reception. Tower antennas for ham radios are also subject to Article II, paragraph 20
and Article III paragraph 11 of this Regulation II.
6. Survey. The ACC shall require permanent property corners for each lot to be determined by a
licensed surveyor before granting any required approval of a request for clearing, or for
construction of an improvement. The ACC may, in their discretion, waive the necessity for a
survey in cases where clearing is limited solely to brush and does not involve construction.
7. Agreements Not Valid. No agreement made by ACC or any member of ACC or any trustee of
the LMC with the owner of any lot with respect to improvement of a lot owned by another
