Watering of lawns, bushes, and trees is the responsibility of the homeowner. Wheaton regulates when homeowners can water their property. Check with City of Wheaton for regulations, as they may change from time to time.

The addition or removal of any planting must have prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Within the context of this provision, minor planting of flowers within the existing planting beds of the townhome owner that are in good taste and in keeping with the general landscaping scheme of the property of the Association will not require prior committee approval. The Board of Directors reserves the sole right of determining the definition of "good taste".

Absolutely no sod shall be removed without prior written approval of the Board of Directors.

The townhome owner shall be responsible for restoring the property to its original condition should the owner decide that he no longer wishes the change.
