The Committee may grant such exceptions to this restriction as the Committee shall deem desirable, subject to any applicable Township ordinance regarding the use of certain exterior materials. Windows and doors shall not be considered visible exterior walls for purposes of this section. No unpainted (or non-factory painted) metal doors may be used in the exterior of any Dwelling or appurtenant structure.

SECTION 7. WALLS AND FENCES. No fences or wall of any type shall be permitted for the purpose of enclosing any Lot. Wrought iron fencing (but not fencing of the wire type commonly known as "Cyclone Fencing") may be used on any Lot for the purpose of enclosing a permitted swimming pool, in locations approved by the Committee. The side yards and rear yard (but not the front yard) of any Lot may be enclosed by landscaping pursuant to a plan approved by the Committee, provided that the street side of a corner Lot shall be considered a second front yard for purposes of the foregoing limitations.
SECTION 8. SWIMMING POOLS. No swimming pool may be installed on any Lot any portion of which is higher than one (1) foot above the finished grade of the Lot. No above ground swimming pool may be erected, placed or permitted to remain on any Lot, either temporarily or permanently.
SECTION 9. ANIMALS. Except as hereinafter set forth, no animals or fowl shall be kept, bred or harbored on any Lot. Not more than two (2) domesticated animals, of a type commonly deemed to be household pets, may be kept on any Lot (but not kept or bred for commercial purposes), as long as each such pet shall have such care and restraint as not to be objectionable or offensive to others due to noise, odor or unsanitary conditions. Any such pet shall be kept either on a leash, or in a run, pen or kennel (in any event, a "pen"), and shall not be allowed to run loose or unattended. No pen shall be erected, placed or permitted to remain on any Lot unless located within the rear yard of such Lot adjacent to a wall of the Dwelling or garage, and facing the rear or interior of the Lot, and such pen shall not be permitted to extend into either side yard. All pens shall be made of wood, decorative block or approved fencing materials, or any combination thereof, and may not exceed three hundred (300) square feet in area or four (4) feet in height. The exterior side of a pen shall be landscaped with plantings to screen the view thereof from adjacent Lots, and such pen shall be kept and maintained in a clean and sanitary condition. The construction and landscaping plans for a pen are subject to approval by the Committee.

No structure of a temporary character, trailer, commercial vehicle, recreation vehicle, shack, garage, barn, storage shed, tent, tree house, or other similar outbuilding, may be used or occupied at any time, on any Lot, either temporarily or permanently, except that (i) tents for entertainment purposes may be erected on any Lot for periods not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours; (ii) an appurtenant swimming pool bathhouse may be maintained on any Lot, provided that the plans for such swimming pool and bathhouse shall have been approved by the Committee and Township; and (iii) a temporary storage building for the storage of materials and supplies to be used in connection with the construction of a Dwelling on any Lot may be kept and maintained on such Lot during the period of such construction.

SECTION 12. ANTENNAS. No exterior radio, television or other communications antenna of any type, or any saucer, dish or similar device, may be erected, placed, maintained or permitted to remain on any Lot, except that the Committee may, upon appropriate application with regard to any Lot, determine that the absence of an outside antenna will cause a substantial hardship, and, upon such finding, may permit an outside antenna to be used in connection with such Lot under such conditions as the Committee shall deem reasonable.

Without the consent of the Committee, no compressor or other component of a central air conditioning system (or similar system, such as a heat pump) shall be visible from any adjacent Roadway, and, to the extent reasonably possible, all such external equipment shall be so located on any Lot so as to minimize the negative impact thereof on any adjoining Lot, in terms of noise and appearance.
