LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ENERGY-PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to be informative to those who may be considering the development of an energy planned and environmentally sustainable subdivision. South Sun Estates on the Lake is a 38 acre, 29 lot development located on Beaver Lake near the town of Rogers, Arkansas. The subdivision protective covenants were written to assure that future homeowners, designers, architects, contractors and builders will conform to the vision and purpose of the developer. Enforcement of the covenants, as the result of violations, has been challenging, and to date unsuccessful, particularly with regard to one of the property owners. Defined in this paper are specific recommendations to others who may be considering developing such a community. The developer is the writer and presenter of this paper. The developer lives in this subdivision.
