The Board shall have the right to prohibit the maintenance of any pet which, after Notice and Hearing, is found to be a nuisance to other Owners. No animals may be kept for commercial purposes. No dog shall be allowed in the Common Area unless it is under the control of a responsible person by leash or other means. Each Owner or Invitee shall restore the Common Area to the condition it was in immediately preceding its use by any dog permitted on the Common Area by the Owner or Invitee.

    4.5 DRAINAGE: No Owner shall impede, alter or otherwise interfere with the drainage patterns and facilities in the Project until plans have been submitted and approved pursuant to Article XI and approved by any public authority having jurisdiction thereof. This Declaration provides notice that many Lots were carefully graded by Declarant to provide positive drainage to a common drainage system. Positive drainage is achieved by shaping and cutting drainage swales or channels in the ground. These swales are engineered progressively lower than the adjoining surface ground areas on the Lot and provide a receptacle and conduit to drain water away from foundations and into the streets or Project storm drainage system. Swales also help to prevent surface drainage water from flowing to adjacent Lots. All drainage on each Lot must flow away from the foundation of the Residence, must tie into the common drainage system and may not drain onto the Golf Course unless expressly approved by the Golf Course Owner. Each Residence must have a roof gutter system and downspouts which are directly connected to the Project's storm drainage system or piped through .. the curbs into the streets and the Owner of the Residence may not construct or alter a Residence or install landscaping in any manner which results in additional roof waters draining anywhere other than directly into such pipes or the Project ' s storm drainage system.

    4.6 ENGINEERING REQUIRED: No Owner shall grade or fill or otherwise alter the slope or contour of any Lot, as established by Declarant, without first retaining a soils engineer or civil engineer, as appropriate, licensed by the State of California, and receiving from such engineer written recommendations, plans and specifications regarding such proposed grade, fill and/or alteration.
