| Architectural Guidelines We have revised the architectural review packet to clarify and specify materials for items that were previously vague. Also, disregard to the architectural guidelines by some builders and / or homeowners has necessitated the enactment of a required $5,000.00 cash before approval will be given. If, upon completion of the house, no Architectural Review Committee guidelines or specifications have been compromised, this bond will be refunded in full. However, if the house is not completed as approved by the Committee (such as, but not limited to, putting a 25 year rated shingle on the roof rather than the 30 or 40 year quality specified in the Architectural Review Packet), a claim will be made against the bond. The following is a list of highlights of the contents of this review packet; further detail is on accompanying pages. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A COPY OF THE FOLLOWING LIST BE GIVEN TO YOUR ARCHITECT BEFORE THE DRAWINGS ARE STARTED! This may prevent costly revisions and changes as well as delays in the approval process with the review committee. ARCHITECTURAL PLANS The exterior appearance of the home, including the front elevation and color, must be substantially different then another home (including one not yet constructed where the committee has approved plans) within 1,000 feet of such home. Soffits and fascia must be cedar and stated as such on your plans. Square footage requirements (2500 for a ranch, 3000 for a two-story) refer to the INTERIOR square footage (measured to inside of outside walls). This square footage measurement should be broken down by floor, and noted on the architectural plans. Overhead garage doors may be wood or steel, but in either case, fully grained, raised panel style, and stated as such on the plans. A stone address block with 5” numbers must be included on the front elevation of the house. If asphalt shingles are to be used for the roof, they must be a 30 or 40 year rated architectural or dimensional shingle and stated as such on your plans. SITE PLAN Culvert pipe must be 15” diameter, made of concrete, and have a flared end section on each end. Yard lights are mandatory and must be shown on either your site plan or your landscaping plan. It is suggested that these lights be controlled by sun sensors, as our subdivision has no streetlights. In an effort to maintain the natural topography of the subdivision, top of foundation heights should be only as high as necessary for construction – excessive “build-up” and grading changes should be avoided! Again, these are the HIGHLIGHTS of the review packet. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU READ ALL THE FOLLOWING PAGES** TO ENSURE THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AND COMPLY WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA. If you need further clarification on anything at all, please call. Mario Conte 630-540-0167 **The complete document is available for your viewing in MS Word format.
