Justice SCHROEDER,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent from the decision of the Court. The anomaly is that I read the same words and find them unambiguous, clearly prohibiting the rental of the property. Section 10 provides that “no commercial or industrial ventures or business of any type may be maintained or constructed upon any residential lot.” The Brooks are clearly using the property for a commercial venture and maintaining a business upon a residential lot. They are renting the property in the same manner as a motel. Reference to the Uniform Building Code does not subtract from the fact that Section 10 provides that “no commercial” venture or “business of any type” may be “maintained” on the property. This is a commercial venture, a business.
