24. STORM SEWER, STORM WATER DRAINAGE AND STORM WATER DETENTION EASEMENTS. These easements, as shown on the final Plat of Lakeshore Estates East, have been graded in accordance with the approved drainage plan and shall not be regraded for any reason without the prior written consent of the Village Board of the Village of Sherwood. These areas shall be for the exclusive use of the lot owner and can be used as an open area for any and all activities. No buildings or structures of any kind can be erected on these easements. The storm water inlets or catch basins which are located within these easements, shall be kept clear of paper, leaves, etc.. by the lot owners adjacent to each storm water inlet so that in the event of a storm, the inlets will allow the storm water to enter. It shall be the responsibility of the owners of all lots in Lakeshore Estates East to clean, maintain and or repair the storm sewers, storm drainage easements and storm water detention areas which are outside of the street rights-of-way or within the boundaries of the lots. In the event these storm drainage systems require cleaning, maintenance and or repair, and this work is not taken care of by the owners of the lots, the Village of Sherwood shall have the right to enter onto the property, and perform the required cleaning, maintenance and or repair. The Village shall repair the lawn areas to the condition equal to that which existed prior to their entering onto the property and have the right to assess all lot owners in Lakeshore Estates East subdivision an equal share of the cost for said cleaning, maintenance and or repair.

25. POND AND STORM WATER DETENTION. The Pond and a slight area around the Pond are identified as Outlot 1, and will be owned by the Village of Sherwood. Maintenance of the Pond and surrounding area will be the responsibility of the owners of Lots 30 thru 33 and of Lots 35 thru 45. The area included with in the Storm Sewer Drainage & Storm Water Detention Easement, as shown on the final plat shall be seeded and stone will be placed approximately four feet out from the waters edge by the Developers. Each Lot owner of record, or his personal representative, agree to keep this area mowed (max. grass height of 6 inches) and maintained, beginning the day that ownership of each lot is transferred. The Homeowners Association, made up of the owners of the above-mentioned lots, shall bear responsible for the enforcement of this maintenance. If the lawn and stone areas are not maintained, The Association shall hire someone to perform said maintenance and bill the owner of said lot. The Developer will also Purchase and Install two (2) Water Fountains in the Pond. These Fountains will be lighted for evening use, with timers to control the hours of operation. A separate Electric Meter will be installed and the Association will pay the cost of the operation. The Fountains will have to be removed in late fall, stored for the winter, serviced and re-installed in spring. This will be done by a local Company, which is furnishing the Fountains. The Homeowners Association can change this operation with 70% of the Lot owners voting in favor of the change. The Developers will handle this maintenance until 70% of the Lots abutting the Pond are sold, at which time the Homeowners Association will take over. In the event the Homeowners Association fails to properly maintain the Pond area, the Village of Sherwood will perform the maintenance and bill the adjacent Lot owners. The owners of Lots 30 thru 33 and Lots 35 thru 45 are to be aware that the area between the Pond and the line identified as the Storm Sewer Drainage & Storm Water Detention Easement is designed to serve as a Storm Water Detention Pond, and in the event of a heavy rainfall, this area will hold additional water for a reasonably short period of time during and after the rainfall. The reason for this design is to protect the areas downstream from Extreme Storm Water Runoff. This is a protective measure required by the Village of Sherwood and/or Calumet County. It is estimated that under normal conditions, this ponding might occur on an average of once every two years, for several hours after the rainfall has stopped.

26. BIKING/WALKING TRAIL. Owners of all lots along Nature's Way Drive are hereby notified that the possibility exists that a biking/walking trail may be constructed within the right-of-way of Nature's Way Drive between the back of the curb and the street right-of-way line.

The covenants and restrictions herein contained except for the irrevocable covenants and restrictions on the natural reserve area, shall be in effect until January 1, 2025, after which time they shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) years, unless an instrument terminating or reducing the term shall be executed and recorded in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in the following paragraph.
