SEVEN OAKS SPECIFICATIONS FOR STANDARDIZED FOR SALE and FOR LEASE SIGN

There is only one approved and standard “For Sale” and “For Lease” sign for use in Seven Oaks.  This is to create uniformity in the design and look of this type of sign so as not to detract from the harmony and continuity of the aesthetics of the community.  Therefore, any deviation or modification of the approved sign is prohibited.

3. The post shall be set in the ground approximately 24 inches or sufficient depth so that the sign will not fall or blow over in normal winds.  Overall height of the sign ABOVE GROUND shall not exceed 60 inches.  Sign location shall be in the front lawn of the property, approximately centered between the edge of the driveway and the middle of the dwelling and four (4) to six (6) feet behind (“the house side”) the public sidewalk.
