OCEAN RIDGE

BEAUTIFICATION ORDINANCE

The primary purpose of the Declaration ofRlghts, Restrictions, Affirmative Obligations and Conditions Applicable to all Property Owners in Ocean Ridge formerly Oristo Subdivision on Edisto Beach, SC and the foremost consideration in the origin of same, has been the creation of a community which is aesthetically pleasing and functionally convenient.

As Ocean Ridge continues to grow through the development of additional parcels of land, we feel the need to set forth more specifically the property owner's obligations and responsibilities, as well as those ofthe property owner's association. These are obligations as they pertain to maintaining an "aesthetically pleasing" community.

Article III, paragraph 4 states. "It shall be the responsibility of each owner to prevent the development of any unclean, unsightly, or unkempt conditions of building or ground on such lot, which tend to substantially decrease the· beauty of the neighborhood as a whole, or the specific area."

Whole ownership owners and condominium, villa and timeshare associations will be responsible for correcting the following conditions within thirty (30) days of the initial violation notification.
