HIGHLIGHTS OF EAGLESGATE COVENANTS.
The key to making and keeping Eaglesgate a wonderful community is the exercise of courtesy and common sense by all residents. When in doubt about what that means exactly, the Covenants provide more specific guidance. The purpose of the Covenants is to promote “the common good and general welfare of all Residents” and to enhance and protect “the value, desirability and attractiveness” of the community. It is the governing document for the sub-division and a contract that all residents enter into when they purchase property in the community. The official name of the covenants is Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions, Easements, Charges, Assessment, and Liens for Eaglesgate.
