    INTRODUCTION

    Proximity to nature, magnificent surroundings and unspoilt sea views combine to make Tierboskloof a truly unique site. To preserve this, the Association aims to attain an architectural and environmental cohesiveness by proposing a contemporary controlled development which will endeavour to recapture the traditional sympathetic rural relationship between buildings and the landscape. The following architectural and building constraints evolved from a defined architectural theme, which aims at protecting the environment and the investment value of the development by establishing and safeguarding an appropriate rural character, as well as ensuring a quality development.

    All members of Tierboskloof are compelled to adhere to the guidelines as outlined below. Whilst this Design Manual serves as a guideline, members are still subject to final approval by Executive Committee (Excom) / Home Owner’s Association (HOA).

    CONCEPT

    The intent is to develop a contemporary village strongly influenced by rural traditional villages. The proposed single development of strings of houses in the tradition of Victorian row and mission villages (e.g. Elim, Wuppertal) will form an axis with a cohesive space and scale setting the theme for the entire development. These units will retain very much a cottage type scale and placed with specific relationship to the roads so as to maintain and reinforce the charm of country lanes and village architecture.

    The desired variation of density will be achieved by planning the position of units, with house site restrictions ensuring visual harmony between the village development and the larger rural surrounding erven and ultimately the general community of Hout Bay.

    THEME

    The architectural character of Tierboskloof is set by a sensitive and sympathetic attitude towards the environment. The theme is manifested in fine and simple forms and elegantly scaled structures combined with a rational use to of materials. Housing styles to have uniformity, symmetry, harmony and variety, forming an articulated union of domestic elements.

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 3 of 18 November 2018

    This approach to domestic architecture is exemplified by the traditional Western Cape mission, Southern and Eastern Cape settlers, humble coastal farm and Cape Victorian/Colonial type buildings.

    The language of this architecture is characterized by a symbiosis of English and Cape Dutch influences and is determined by restraint, clear plain surfaces, simple forms and refined details.

    UNDERLYING PRINCIPALS OF THE STYLE

    This traditional domestic architecture was developed on the basis of naturally available materials with historical and cultural influences.

    Location of the house was the result of an awareness of “a sense of place” and so forming an integrated relationship to the existing vegetation. Although maintaining a certain presence on the site, these houses have an ability to blend, almost disappear against their background.

    The scale and proportion of the form was a result of the limitation of the maximum width, controlled by rational use of structural materials. Houses were generally not more than one room wide and two or three interleading rooms long on a load-bearing structure, with veranda addition. They were not higher than two stories using eaves/attic space. Extensions were skilfully integrated or repeats of the original form subtly connected, forming courts of simple rectangular form and proportion.

    The roof dominant architecture evolved from the basic requirement for shelter. The connection with the natural environment was manifested in the veranda and terrace serving to connect by gradual transition the house with the landscape so developing the veranda facades. The veranda formed a sheltered circulation space with shade to doors and windows. The courtyard offered security, privacy and additional living space protected from wind.

    These principles will be applied to any re-builds, renovation or additions made to any homes. Whilst building materials and techniques have changed the fundamental design concepts for the estate remain and will be applied.

    BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES

    GENERAL

    All buildings must conform to the criteria set out in this manual in addition to municipal or national building regulations

    • Slope of land is to be retained by fragmentation of a large planned residence into a series of connected cottages stepping down the slope

    • Cut and fill should be minimal and should relate to natural features wherever possible

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 4 of 18 November 2018

    • Vehicular access may be taken to each site at only one point selected to create minimum environmental damage

    • To avoid construction on unsuitable slopes and to ensure the protection of indigenous vegetation the siting of buildings must conform with the building guildlines.

    BUILDING LINES

    The intention of the building lines is to guarantee views and the amenity of abutting properties

    The Association reserves the right to call for adjustments to the building lines where a particular design affects views from other erven

    1. Street building lines: 4.5m

    2. Side building lines: 1.5m for single storey lean-to roofs

    3. Side building lines: 4.5 for pitched roofs

    4. Garages: 1m from road if single pitched or double flat pitch falling towards or away from road

    Exceptions: Erf 6279 has an additional side building line as indicated on the plan where the building height is limited to single storey flat roof

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 5 of 18 November 2018

    SCALE AND PORTION

    • Heights

    Building heights are restricted to a maximum of 6m measured from the floor to the centre point between eaves and ridges. (Note: Erven 6271, 6270, 6269, 6268, 6267, 6266, 6265 and 6264 are restricted to a maximum of 6m measured to natural ground level directly below ridge)

    o All building heights are to be measured from natural ground level directly below ridge to the centre point between eaves and ridges or to the top of ridge in the case of erven 6267 to 6271, 6265 and 6264.

    • Widths

    Maximum width for double pitched roof section is restricted to 6m (5m is recommended). House width can be increased by addition of lean-to or an adjoining double pitch roof

    • Elements

    The use of verandas and (stone) plinths is recommended to control height scale. Dry pack stone retaining walls to cope with level changes.

    FORM

    House forms must be of simple interconnected arrangement. Repeats of the original simple pitched, rectangular or composite rectangular is recommended

    There should be no excessive overhang to any roofs, verandas or lean-tos may be used to extend over.

    GUTTERS

    Gutters and downpipes should be as insignificant as possible. Domestic pattern extruded aluminium gutters and downpipes are recommended

    WALLS

    The scale of walls is to be controlled using (stone) bases, plinths and openings with simple mouldings.

    Wall materials are limited to stone, horizontal boarding stained or painted, or plaster painted with textured paint. Paint or tinted /coloured lime wash to match approved tinted plaster colours may be considered but are not recommended.

    Please see below for a complete list of permitted paint colours

    The wall materials finish and colour should be consistent on a particular property. Plinths and mouldings may be finished in a complementary colour/ texture

    Exposed concrete, face brick, unplastered cement blockwork, vibracrete-type walling and excessive texturing as Spanish plaster, will not be permitted

    External board cladding may run vertically or horizontally

    BOUNDARIES

    (Includes gate posts, boundary walls, courtyard walls, screens, fences and retaining walls)

    These are recommended as extensions from the house and are restricted to 1.8m above finished landscape level. Plinths and simple mouldings are preferable. All yard walls, etc., must be indicated on the plan

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 8 of 18 November 2018

    • Fences - Fences create a strong visual impact and are therefore restricted to 1.5m height game fencing, which may be disguised with creepers. Other fencing that is aesthetically pleasing and in keeping with the Estate, made from natural materials and within our colour palette will be considered. All fencing is subject to approval by Excom/HOA

    • Gates- Tierboskloof was originally designed as a non-gated estate and therefore gates are not encouraged. However due to security needs on application Excom/HOA will be amendable to hearing arguments as to why gates (and fences) are required. Once again the design will need to conform to the Estate design and is subject to approval

    • Retaining Systems -The use of Terraforce retaining systems are not permitted in any visible areas. In extreme cases where this system is necessary and is visible, these blocks MUST be stone clad. Gabions can be used subject to approval

    DRIVEWAYS

    Driveways to house sites must be approved by the Landscape Architect. Driveways are limited to 3m wide (preferably 2.5m). Driveways must avoid large rock outcrops and specimen vegetation. Earth coloured roll-crete or an agreed alternative must be used to surface the driveways. Low dry-packed stone walls, together with informally placed boulders are to be used to stabilise and retain, cut and fill slopes. Retaining walls must not be higher than 1.5m

    Locate all electrical and telephone cables underground and align these preferably along the driveways

    VERANDAS

    Verandas are recommended in either the modern simple form or the traditional ornate style

    BALCONIES

    First floor balconies tend to be obtrusive and increase visual impact and are therefore subject to approval

    PERGOLAS AND DECKS

    Pergolas and decks must be of timber construction, painted or stained. Simple or decorative balustrades of traditional patterns, timber posts, pillars and copies are recommended

    PARAPETS

    Parapets are simple extensions of walls: A height of 250mm above roof line is recommended. Simple moulded copings are recommended

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 9 of 18 November 2018

    CHIMNEYS

    Exposed chimneys are important traditional elements. Traditional forms with mouldings for weathering of tops are recommended. There is a wealth of typical examples on Victorian and Cape Dutch buildings

    For timber frame houses stainless steel chimneys are permitted in place of brick. The chimney finish colour must be acceptable in terms of the current requirements

    OPENINGS

    Openings in walls carrying pitched roofs are restricted to single windows/doors. When a veranda or lean-to is added, these walls are classified as internal and therefore openings are not restricted. Openings in walls carrying lean-to roofs are unrestricted provided a vertical glazing pattern is used

    DOORS & WINDOWS

    The shape and proportions are controlled with the traditional form being recommended

    • Large doors are permitted if set back under a veranda of a minimum width of 900mm

    Page 12 of 18 November 2018

    • Solar heating panels must be flush with roof and inconspicuous

    • All boreholes must be registered with the City of Cape Town as per current legislation

    • With regard to boreholes, neighbours must be informed of all details during the drilling process. When the drilling is to start and all inconvenience caused during the drilling process

    • Air conditioner/heat pump units/pool pumps etc must be considerately placed and generally hidden from views or screened with appropriate timber or similar approved panels for noise and visual limitations

    The HOA's decision is final and can be withdrawn at any time

    ACCESSORIES (Includes plumbing and signage)

    All accessories must be fully concealed. No protruding radio, TV aerials, outdoor radio systems or satellite TV dishes are permitted. Signage should be of simple, unobtrusive design

    All unsightly objects dustbins, refuse containers, wash lines and storage areas, kennels etc must not be visible from roads, parklands, nature areas or other stands

    A note on painting – any paint work that is to be commenced needs pre-approval from the EM. This ensures the protocols ( cleaning materials etc) can be adhered to. Samples for approval must also be viewed, avoiding costly owner re-painting due to contractor errors.

    THE SCRUTINY PROCESS

    All plans need pre-approval from the Estate Committee. This involves a 4-stage process viz

    1. Plans sign-off

    2. Surveyor approval of ground floor height

    3. Wall plate heights approval prior to roof installation

    4. Final completion approval. The cost of this will be debited to the pavement deposit. Any lack of compliance and resulting work will be borne by the homeowner

    A check list of points to consider will be supplied to the HO on application to build/renovate

    LANDSCAPING AND GARDENING

    Tierboskloof was established in 1993 as a Nature Estate. Within the estate, it is an Afromontane Forest that includes many rare and protected indigenous trees. Afromontane forests generally occur in well-watered areas, including ravines and north-facing slopes and the Tierboskloof example is one of very few in the Western Cape. Bordering onto the Table Mountain Reserve, the mountain offers a unique natural environment. Of the 8 200-plant species found here, approximately 80% of these are fynbos and many are endemic

    Due to our close proximity to the Table Mountain Reserve and in the best interests of preserving the fynbos and afro-montane forest species, our intent is to keep the Estate as an indigenous Estate. For this end and to ensure that the Estate remains the wonderful natural atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, Environmental controls have been put in place as outlined below

    ALIEN & INVASIVE TREES AND PLANTS

    Tierboskloof will abide by The National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) (Act 10 of 2004) – Alien and Invasive Species (AIS) regulations, which was gazetted on 1 August 2014 and became law on 1 October 2014. In terms of NEMBA, alien and invasive species are divided into four categories:

    • Category 1a - Invasive species which must be combated and eradicated. Any form of trade or planting is strictly prohibited

    • Category 1b - Invasive species which must be controlled and wherever possible, removed and destroyed. Any form of trade or planting is strictly prohibited

    • Category 2 - Invasive species, or species deemed to be potentially invasive, in which a permit is required to carry out a restricted activity

    • Category 3 - Invasive species which may remain in prescribed areas or provinces. Further planting, propagation or trade is, however, prohibited

    There are various species of pine tree growing on both the common property and on private erfs in Tierboskloof Estate. In order to manage these exotics going forward, whilst still being sensitive to owners, the following measures have been agreed upon:

    • In the case of the Stone Pines (Pinus Radiata) (Category 2 of the NEMBA Regulations) all specimens on the estate which were in existence when the estate was established and have a trunk diameter of more than 400mm will not be felled until they die off or pose a danger to property or persons or become a security threat (These include specified pines)

    • Other pines and aliens which are category 1b (Pinus Pinaster, Pinus Patula) and located on both communal or private erfs which have been established after the formation of the estate in 1993, whether by deliberate planting or by virtue of natural seed propagation and have since been allowed to grow to maturity will have to be removed

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 14 of 18 November 2018

    The Estate has decided as per their legal obligation to remove all alien trees in category 1a, 1b and 2 from the Estate common ground as and when our budget permits.

    Body Corporate wishes to bring to the attention of all residents that as per the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act (NEMBA), all alien trees as specified in the above categories need to be removed from residents’ private properties as and when feasible. Consent for transfer on sale of a property could be withheld, if this has not been adhered to.

    GARDEN DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT

    Owners must please take note of the following Estate rules when designing or landscaping their gardens:

    • Topsoil stockpiled during construction is to be used in landscaping. If additional topsoil is required, this must be free of weed and invasive plan seeds and the source thereof must be approved by the horticulturist or Landscape Architect.

    • Only organic fertilisers, weed killers and pesticides may be used from a list approved by the Association.

    • Existing indigenous plants and specimen trees identified on any sites must be retained

    • Footpaths not in the immediate surrounds of the houses must be low key and of natural local material.

    • Invasive Kikuyu grass is prohibited. Only indigenous Buffalo grass or Kweek grass is permitted.

    • Trees should not be planted in positions which will affect views from other sites.

    • Landscaping, i.e. lawns, shrubs, groundcovers and trees, is to be confined to the immediate surrounds of the building

    • Bush clearing within the building area is to be done under supervision of a horticulturist or landscape architect. The mulched or chipped material is to be re-used for restoration work

    APPROVED PLANT LIST

    The Approved Plant List should be used by all landscapers and homeowners as the definitive list of allowable plants. Only those plants on the Plant List or other indigenous plants, which occur in the Peninsula, may be planted on the erven

    At the time of compiling this guideline there are some exotic plant species in the Estate and on private erven. Whilst we will be active in removing exotic plants on common property the process that we will follow on private erven is as follows:

  • DESIGN MANUAL (INCLUDING LANDSCAPING) - ANNEXURE A

    Page 15 of 18 November 2018

    • We will be tolerant of exotics that are currently planted on private erven. However, no new exotics may be planted. At the time of sale, all exotics will need to be removed prior to the transfer request being approved

    • All plants named as Category 1 &2 of the Nemba Act must be removed. Those on category 3 cannot be planted. For a comprehensive list of invasive plants please refer to the following website: www.invasives.org.za. We will have a list of common Tierboskloof invasive plants available on the website; however, this list is not all inclusive.
