3. Lake Bank. The outer boundary of the Lakes will extend beyond the edge of the water line and the top of the bank to the rear or side lot lines of any adjacent Lots. The Residential Owner of a Lot which has a rear or side Lot line which abuts the portion of any Lake which is immediately adjacent to the edge of the water line (a “Waterfront Lot”) shall be required to maintain the adjoining area located between such Residential Owner’s Lot and the edge of the water line of the adjacent Lake as if said area were a portion of the Lot owned by such Residential Owner. The area between a Waterfront Lot and the edge of the water line of the adjacent Lake shall be seeded for grass and/or landscaped by such Residential Owner and any embankment shall be maintained by such Residential Owner so that grass, planting or other lateral support to prevent erosion of the embankment shall not be changed without the prior written consent of the Committee. If the Residential Owner of a Waterfront Lot fails to maintain such embankment area as part of the landscape maintenance obligations as required by this Section, the Association shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon such Lot to perform the required maintenance, all at the expense of the Residential Owner of such Lot.
