The following abridged version of Lakeridge Run covenants (regulations) are provided to all home owners as a guide to their requirements and responsibilities. Please be aware that all residents and homeowners must comply with these covenants regardless of their membership status in LRNA. (For a complete copy, see the Cleveland County Clerk office in Norman, OK.)
1. No building shall be erected, placed or altered on any lot located in section I, II or III until after the building plans, specifications and plot plan showing the location of such building have been approved in writing as to conformity and harmony of external design with existing structures in said subdivision, and as to location of the building with respect to side lot and front building setback lines, by a majority of an architectural committee. If the committee, their representatives and successors, fail to approve or disapprove such design within thirty (30) days after plans have been submitted, and if no suit to enjoin the erection of such building, or making of such improvement has been commenced prior to the completion thereof, such approval shall not be required and this covenant shall be deemed to have been fully complied with.
2. All of the lots located in the subdivision shall be reserved exclusively for use as residential lots or residential building sites.

Moreover, no vehicle may be parked or stored in the side or back yard of any lot unless adequate screening has been provided to totally screen said vehicle from view of any street or other lot and where the architectural committee has approved the screening.
