(b) The provisions of this section shall apply to any restrictive covenant in existence on the effective date of this act.

(c) The provisions of this section shall not affect the enforceability of a restrictive covenant which regulates or restricts the color, style, dimension or other aesthetic characteristics of roofing material to be used on a residential dwelling if such restrictive covenant meets the requirements of subsection (a).
