The lots and the tract were created upon the recording of the City of Renton Short Plat No. LUA21-000136 LND20-0653, recorded under King County recording no. _________________ (“Plat”). Each of the eight (8) lots created by the Plat is referred to herein as a “Lot.” The tract is known as Tract A. B. Declarant intends to construct a detached single-family home and associated improvements on each Lot. Declarant intends for the homes on the Lots to be aesthetically harmonious and appear as one cohesive community known as Brennon Landing (“Community”). Thus, this Declaration sets forth covenants and restrictions regarding the uses and aesthetic features of the Lots. C. The Lots also benefit from and are burdened by certain covenants and easements created by and described in the Plat. Such covenants and easements are described herein. D. Declarant hereby declares that the Lots will be held, conveyed, divided, encumbered, hypothecated, leased, rented, used, occupied and improved subject to the following covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, obligations, and rights, all of which are hereby declared, established, expressed and agreed: (i) to be for the benefit of and protection of the Community, its desirability, value and attractiveness; (ii) to be for the benefit of the owners of the Lots; (iii) to run with the land and be binding upon all parties having or acquiring any right, title, or interest in the Community or any part thereof; (iv) to inure to the benefit of every portion of the Community and any interest therein; and (v) to inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Lot owner and of Declarant. Terms 1. Recitals and Exhibit A. The Recitals above and the attached Exhibit A are incorporated herein. 2. Tract A Landscaping. As described on the Plat, Tract A is a common landscaping tract jointly owned by all the Lot owners. The Lot owners are equally responsible for the costs of maintaining, repairing, and replacing the landscaping within Tract A. The landscaping shall be maintained to ensure visual relief, to complement buildings and structures, and to provide an attractive environment for the enjoyment of the Lot owners. No owner shall remove, destroy or otherwise materially change or adversely impact landscaping that is required to be maintained under applicable law, including any landscaping required as part of the governmental approvals for development of the Community. Owners are responsible for confirming that removal or modification of landscaping does not violate any legal requirements. In the event of a conflict between any applicable law or permit condition and this Declaration, the law/permit condition shall govern. 3. Public and Private Utility Easements. Per the Plat, easements were granted to the City of Renton and utility providers, and their respective successors and assigns, under and upon the exterior ten (10) feet of all Lots lying parallel with and adjoining the proposed and existing street frontages (as shown on the Plat) in which to install, lay, construct, operate, maintain, repair, replace, and enlarge underground pipes, conduits, {04713733.DOCX;4 } Page 3 of 8 cables, and wires with all necessary or convenient underground or ground-mounted appurtenances thereto, for the purpose of serving the Community and other properties with electric, gas, telephone, television, water, sanitary sewer, public, and private storm drainage and other utility services, together with the right to enter thereupon at all times for the purposes herein stated.
