Article VII / General Restrictions
Activity:
No obnoxious or offensive activity shall be conducted or permitted to exist upon any Lot, or in any Dwelling Unit, nor shall anything be done or permitted to exist on any Lot or in any Dwelling Unit that may be or may become an annoyance or private or public nuisance.
No Lot, Driveway, or Common Area shall be used for the purpose of vehicle repair or maintenance.
Animal Control: Danbury Mill and Seminole County Rules on Animal Control:
Our community by-laws on the subject of animal control are consistent with Seminole County. Seminole County rules on animal control state the following:
Section 4-12 (Animals At-Large Prohibited; Custody and Confinement Authorized) states the following:
(a) It shall be unlawful for any animal owner to allow his animals to run at-large upon public property, or upon private property of others, including common areas.
(b) When any animal is found at-large anywhere within the County, whether licensed or otherwise, and whether owned or otherwise, said animal may be taken into custody by the Animal Welfare Officer or other law enforcement officer to be impounded at the Animal Shelter.
Sec.4-14 Urinating and Defecating
It shall be unlawful for any animal owner to permit, either willfully, or through failure to exercise due care and control, any animal to soil, defile, urinate, or defecate on any private or public property, other than that of the owner.
Danbury Mill's covenants state the following on animal control:
No livestock, poultry, or animals of any kind or size shall be raised, bred, or kept on any Lot or in Dwelling Unit provided, however, that dogs, cats, or other common domesticated household pets may be raised and kept provided such pets are not kept, bred or maintained for any commercial purposes. Such permitted pets shall be kept on the Owner's Lot and shall not be allowed off the premises of Owner's Lot except on a leash. No permitted pet shall be allowed to make noise in a manner or of such volume as to annoy or disturb other Owners.
This pertains to a neighbor's yard, as well as all common areas and private property. The animal owner is solely responsible for clean up. The offense is a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by 60 days in jail and/or $500 fine. Offenders can be reported to our management company, or Seminole County Animal Control (407-323-2500).
