The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It seems clear that the rule announced in Macy v. Wormald, Ky., 329 S.W.2d 212 , would preclude construction of duplex apartments in face of Restriction 8 [the “only one residence” restriction], unless that restriction has been deleted by agreement of all the lot owners in the subdivision. In Macy a restriction provided: ‘Said lots shall be used only for residence purposes, and only one residence shall be erected upon each lot * * There we held that ‘only one residence’ means exactly what it says and cannot be enlarged to mean four residences. McMahan v. Hunsinger, Ky., 375 S.W.2d 820 , recognized that a restriction to ‘residence’ purposes, standing alone, does not prohibit multiple dwellings but that a different rule obtains when the modifying term ‘a,’ ‘one,’ or ‘a single’ is prefixed to the word ‘residence.’” [Emphasis added.] 426 S.W.2d 480 at 481 .”
