In the ground permanent permitted structures are not allowed in the subdivision.  
  3. Cannot operate within 10’ of any burnable object or structure. Examples: house, car, garage, tree, bush, shrub, etceteras. Never operate units within the home, in a garage, under eaves of roof, or under any covered area.
  4. Recreational fire pits or home barbeques should only be operated at reasonable times that take into consideration the rights of property enjoyment of others in the subdivision. Smoke, odors, and flames from your fire pit or barbeque should not be a irritant for your neighbors . . .
