Ashbury Park I and II will be allowed access to Spring Farms' swimming pool.
The conservancy lots will have separate requirements in terms of minimum square
footage and requirements and will not be required to pay into a homeowners association
or maintenance fees, etc. The conservancy lots are 6 1/2 acres each.
