We find the following Grace Covenant phrase unenforceable as written:
Covenant 10.6 – … dogs must be kept on a leash and be under the physical control of a responsible person at all times while outdoors…
Cherokee County Ordinance #2007-O-004 states … It is on a leash and under the control of a competent person, or it is off leash and obedient to and under voice command of a competent person who is in the immediate proximity of the dog any time it is not restrained as provided for in subsections (1) or (2) above, while on the owner’s property.
The Board will enforce the county ordinance until such time as the Grace Covenant is modified or removed. All other wording within Covenant 10.6 will be fully enforced.
