The restrictions hereby imposed on the use of the

hereby entitled to enforce, shall be as follows;
1. No industrial or commercial activities, with

residential or farm building without the obtaining of an
exception from the applicable zoning laws, including
sales of farm products by the owner to the public.
2. No building or structure may be built or
maintained on the property other than (i) farm buildings
or structures and (ii) a single-family dwelling and
outbuildings commonly or appropriately incidental
thereto, including a garage or farm laborers' quarters.
3. The property may not be subdivided without the

4. No signs, billboards or outdoor advertising

and the name and address of the occupant; (ii) to
advertise an activity permitted under paragraph 1 above;
and (iii) to advertise the property for sale or rental.
However, this paragraph shall not limit the grantee's
right, hereinafter described, to display on the property

5. No dump of ashes, sawdust, bark, trash,
rubbish or any other unsightly or offensive material,
except that which is for regular agricultural use, may be
permitted on the property visible from the public roads
and highways.
6. Timber lands shall be managed in accordance
with sound forestry practices, and trees may be
selectively or clear cut from time to time in such manner
as will not alter the character of such land as forest
lands subject to the approval of the Maryland
Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph the
foundation may approve the clearing of timber land for
agricultural use subject to any conditions deemed
appropriate.
