What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Ohio
I am interested in purchasing a home, but I really need to buy one where I can construct a separate garage for my hobbies (building a plane).
The home I'm interested in is in an older subdivision circa 1973, the home has an attached 2 car garage, and the plot drawing has the following wording: "ALL LOTS IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE KNOWN AND DESCRIBED AS RESIDENTIAL LOTS. NO STRUCTURES SHALL BE ERECTED PLACED OR PERMITTED TO REMAIN ON ANY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PLOT OTHER THAN ONE DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING NOT TO EXCEED TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT AND A GARAGE FOR NOT MORE THAN TWO (2) CARS."
The town zoning allows a detached structure, but I'm not sure how to interpret the plot map wording.
To me, it seems I am allowed to have a single family residence and a garage, the existing garage being a part of the residence. Also, the development has may sheds, which appear to not meet this covenant. Can I assume that the covenants are no longer being enforced?
Thanks
