A.
The maintenance
of all land, buildings and other improvements in the property is the
continuing responsibility and obligation of the respective owners,
who shall keep and maintain their properties in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration. Compliance with the standards of maintenance
set forth in this Article shall be determined and enforced by the
Board of Trustees, based upon the terms and provisions of these covenants
and the intent of these covenants to create a modern and prestigious
business and technology park and the following general standards shall
be observed:
1.
All land areas between building lines and property lines, including street rights-of-way adjoining the same of a building site which has been improved with a building and not used for drives, walks or parking areas, must be attractively landscaped and maintained in conformity with the Design and Construction Standards, Article IV. Weeds and undergrowth must be kept mowed to a height of not more than twelve (12) inches on all other unimproved land areas. Common areas shall be maintained in a manner consistent with the conditions required of owners.
2.
No trash,
debris or litter shall be permitted to accumulate on any lot and it
shall be the responsibility of each owner and tenant to conduct business
in a manner which will not result in trash, debris or litter being
generated on the lot.
3.
Exterior
surfaces of buildings and other improvements, including all paved
areas, must be kept in a good condition and state of repair and otherwise
in conformity with the intent of these covenants. Exteriors shall
be maintained and renewed or replaced as necessary to maintain consistency
with the plans for said improvements originally approved by the Sikeston
DED Executive Board or its designee.
[R.O. 2009 §16.50.601]
Improved building sites shall be landscaped in accordance with the Design and Construction Standards, Article IV. No tenant or owner shall occupy a building or construct improvements until landscaping plans with adequate provisions or implementation have been approved by the Sikeston DED Executive Board or its designee. It is the intent of this Declaration that landscaping shall be provided in a manner to properly complement building improvements and to properly screen parking, loading and outside storage areas.
[R.O. 2009 §16.50.602]
Owners and tenants shall be responsible for maintaining landscaping
features and vegetation on their respective lots in such manner as
to present a reasonably attractive appearance at all times.
[R.O. 2009 §16.50.603]
The Board of Trustees shall have the right to hire a maintenance company to maintain unsightly lots and to charge a fee to the owner or tenant thereof for such services rendered. If owner or tenant does not comply with the maintenance provisions of this Article within ten (10) days after written notice of non-compliance is given to the owner by the Board, the Board shall have the right to enter onto the property and perform the work specified in such notice and the owner or tenant shall pay the cost thereof upon demand. If the cost of such work is not paid within ten (10) days after demand for payment is made, the cost shall become a lien upon the property which shall be enforceable as provided for assessments in Article VIII of this Declaration.
