Homestead Trails | Design Guidelines �

INTrODUCTION

Homestead Trails is a master planned community including separate and distinct neighborhoods (also referred to as Filings or Sub-Filings) within a network of open space and greenbelts connecting the neighborhoods. References herein to the Association shall mean the Homestead Trails Property Owner’s Association, Inc.

These Guidelines have been adopted to give direction to builders, designers and owners in preparing plans and designs that reinforce the appearance of quality neighborhoods within the master planned setting. These Guidelines applytonewconstructionaswellasmodifications,additionsandalterationsmadeonortoexistingimprovements.

Due touniquecharacteristicsof individualfilingsandsub-filings,certainspecial requirements, relating tohousedesign, site planning, landscaping, fencing, or any other facet of new construction, may be applicable to a particular filingorsub-filing. Thesespecial requirementsareset forth in Site Specific Requirements forsuchfilingorsub-filing.AlthoughtheSite Specific Requirements are distributed separately, they are, by this reference, incorporated in these Guidelines with the same force and effect as if the full text of such Site Specific Requirements were set forth in these Guidelines. Builders and owners should become familiar with the applicable Site Specific Requirements attheoutsetofthedesignprocess.IfthereisanyconflictbetweenapplicableSite Specific Requirements and these Guidelines, the Site Specific Requirements shall control. Additionally, due to unique characteristics of individual lots and/or groups of lots, certain additional special requirements, relating to house design, site planning, landscaping, fencing, or any other facet of new construction, may be imposed by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) during the review process. The ARC may determine that what was acceptable in one situation may not be acceptable in another.

ExceptionsAs described in Section 16.5 of the CC & R’s “Phase 1 lots shall be held to the architectural and landscaping requirements that were provided in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Village East Subdivision recorded at Reception No. 794308 and Amendment Number One thereto recorded at Reception No. 852429. Those original requirements have been incorporated herein as Exhibit A.

Who administers the procedures set forth in these guidelines?

The design review procedures are described below and are administered by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC is composed of three members. The Declarant has the right to appoint the Architectural Review Committee members as provided in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions Restrictions and Easements for Homestead Tails (the “Declaration”).

The ARC approval of any proposed construction is within the sole and unfettered discretion of the ARC and the ARC may, in its discretion, determine to enforce or waive, in whole or in part, any or all of these Guidelines, including any applicable Site Specific Requirements.

TheARCrecommendsthateachlotownerretaintheservicesofaqualifiedbuilder,architectorresidentialdesignerto assist in the design process and in compliance with these Guidelines, including any applicable Site Specific Requirements. If owner and builder are the same they should thoroughly review these guidelines to make sure the house they envision building will meet these guidelines.

The Declaration provides that “No improvement or landscaping will be erected, placed, reconstructed, replaced, repaired or otherwise altered, nor will any construction, repair or reconstruction be commenced until plans for the improvements shall have been approved by the ARC. Improvements that are completely within a dwelling structure may be undertaken without such approval.”

The Declaration goes on to give the ARC broad discretion in reviewing and approving plans and in describing the array of considerations, which the ARC should take into account in reviewing submittals. The purpose of these Design Guidelines is to specify, in more detail, the submittal requirements for various proposed improvements within Homestead Trails, the procedures, which will be followed by the ARC in reviewing the submittals, and the information which the ARC expects relative to each aspect of construction and improvement within Homestead Trails.

II. DESIGN AND CONSTrUCTION OF NEW DWELLINGS

A. OVERVIEW

This section outlines the procedures and requirements for making an application to the ARC for the construction of new dwellings.

1. Prior to development of plans for a new dwelling, there will be a pre-submittal meeting between the applicant and a member or members of the ARC. Thefirststepintheconstructionofanewdwellingisthepre-submittalmeeting.Thismandatorymeetingis attended by at least one ARC member, the applicant or representative. The purpose of this meeting is to acquaint the applicant with the ARC Design Review Process, to review general and unique features of the lot that may impact the location and the design of the dwelling, and to explore and try to answer questions regarding building in Homestead Trails. This informal review is to offer guidance prior to the initial submittal. Neither the ARC nor the Association are bound by any representations made at the Pre-Submittal meeting. Applicants will be required to acknowledge the Pre-Submittal meeting on the New Dwelling Submittal Application Form. An appointment for a Pre-Submittal meeting should be made a least one week in advance by calling the Executive Board of the Homestead Trails Property Owners Association, Inc. (the “Homestead Trails Executive Board”) .

2. The applicant then makes and submits: - an Initial Submittal for ARC review - an Acknowledgment of Authority of Homestead Trails Property Association - a Final Submittal if required. - a builders/owners Statement of Completion

4. Review of Initial SubmittalThe ARC will review the initial submittal and provide a written response to the applicant within ten (10) working days after completing the review, but no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the submittal.

5. Additional Submittals - If RequiredIn the event of disapproval or approval with conditions of the submittal by the ARC, the applicant may submitmodifieddocumentsfollowingthesameprocedureasanoriginalsubmittal.

6. Review of the Additional Submittals

The ARC will review the additional submittals and provide a written response to the applicant within ten (10) working days after completing the review, but no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the submittal. All submittals will be approved with no conditions, approved with conditions listed, or disapproved.

7. Compliance DepositAfter approval of the submittal but prior to start of construction the Owner/Builder will be required to pay the Homestead Trails Property Owners Association, Inc. (the “Association”) a deposit of One Thousand Dollars ($1000.00). This amount will be held in escrow until Notice of Completion is received by the ARC and the ARC has inspected the work and determined that it has been constructed as approved. If the ARC determines that the work has been constructed as approved, the $1000.00 deposit will be returned to the Owner/Builder. If, however, the ARC determines that the completed work does not comply with the submittal as approved by the ARC, the ARC will retain the deposit until the Owner/Builder remedies the unsatisfactory work and/or brings the work into compliance with the approved submittal. The Owner/Builder must make corrections and complete the unsatisfactory work within a reasonable time period as established by the ARC in its notice. In the event the unsatisfactory work is not corrected and/or completedwithinthespecifiedtime,theARCmayelecttocompleteorcorrecttheunsatisfactoryworkand apply the deposit towards the completion and/or correction. The Owner/Builder shall reimburse the Association for all costs incurred by the ARC in connection with the correction or completion of the unsatisfactory work. Failure to reimburse the Association such costs shall result in the imposition of a lien upon the property of the Owner as provided in the Declaration.

Owner Statement of Completion Form. A copy of this form can be found in the Appendix.

b. Fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Notice of Completion Form, the ARC shall visit the siteandinspectthecompletedwork.IftheARCfindsthattheworkwasnotcompletedordoesnotcomplywiththeapprovedfinaldocuments(includinganyconditionsimposedbytheARC),it shall notify the applicant in writing of such non-compliance. The notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the particulars of non-compliance and shall require the applicant to provide a means of remedial action and a time period within which the remedial action must be completed by applicant.

9. No Waiver.Failure of the ARC to notify an owner of non-compliance after the inspection does not constitute a waiver of any rights of the ARC to enforce or compel compliance in the future and should not be deemed as evidence that the construction complies with the approved plans or the ARC requirements.

F. FORMS AND CHECKLISTS TO BE COMPLETEDThe following four forms must be completed by the applicant in order for the ARC to approve the project:

1. New Dwelling Submittal Application Form2. New Dwelling Checklist3. Acknowledgment of Authority of Homestead Trails Property Owners Association4. Builder/Owner Statement of Completion

Copies of each document are included in the Appendix. The applicant must provide all of the information requested on each form. Items shown on the checklist that are not part of the submittal shall be marked “not applicable” on the form.


III. LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND CONSTrUCTION

A. OVERVIEW

This section outlines the procedures and requirements for making application to the ARC for new landscaping work. This section also applies to landscape plans required as part of Section II “Design and Construction of New Dwellings”.

The properly conceived and well designed landscape program may ultimately be the single most important value enhancing element for the overall community.






C. BASIC DESIGN GUIDELINES

1. GeneralThe landscape concept should be of high quality and harmonize with the surrounding neighborhood, architecture and site character. Special attention should be paid to site drainage, softscape plant forms and placement, hardscape materials, and ground plane treatments. The use of xeric plant materials is encouraged . The plan should address development of outdoor use areas and the utilization of plant groupings, and constructed screens to create separation and privacy.

2. Installation RequirementsPromptlandscapingisveryimportantforbotherosioncontrolandtoprovideafinishedappearance

All landscaping must be installed within 30 days of occupancy during April through September. Extensions of time may be granted by the ARC for work during October through March however the Owner/Builder is encouraged to complete all landscape installation April through September. As a minimum all proposed turf areas will be installed and all planting beds shall be mulched prior to the end of September.

3. Tree Planting Requirements

In the front yard a minimum of 2 trees are required. One of these trees must be a shade tree at a minimum 2 ½” (inch) caliper. The other front yard tree may be a deciduous tree at 2” (inch) caliper or an evergreen tree at a minimum 6 ft. height.

Trees should be integrated into planting beds whenever possible. If trees stand alone in a turf area the base of the tree should be surrounded with mulch.

A list of recommended trees can be found in Appendix C.

4. Planting Bed Requirementsa. Plantingbedsshouldbedefinedbywalkways,patios,steeledgerorotherlandscapeelements.

If adjoining home is landscaped or being planned, coordination of adjoining beds is recommended toachieveamoreunifiedandcohesivelandscapedesign.

b. The front/entry and sides of the house should have significant foundation plantings that arecomplimentary to the architecture of the house. The rear area of the house should have enough plantingtodefineoutdooruseareas,providescreeningifrequiredandwhereadjacenttoopenspace, provide a transition to the native landscape.


c. Planting beds shall have a wood mulch a minimum of 3 inches thick. Wood mulch shall be fibrousinnaturecapableofmattingtogether.Chunkbarkmulchisnotpermitted.Largerivercobble may be used only to create a dry stream bed approach, along drainage ways or as an accent to xeriscape landscape zone.

d. Large expanses of mulch or bed areas of 10 square feet without significant plantings arediscouraged.

e. A list of recommended shrubs and perennials can be found in Appendix C.

5. Turf Grass Seed and SodIn order to achieve some measure of visual continuity, all front/entry and side yard areas visible from the street shall utilize a turf grass in either sod or seed form. Turf Grass Seed may be used in the rear yard, however the use of this area may be limited until proper germination, usually a minimum of one year.

Bluegrass is allowed however a mix that is more drought tolerant is encouraged.

A list of turf grass seed and sod can be found in Appendix D.

6. Native Grasses and RevegetationPromptrevegetationofdisturbedareasisrequiredtocontrolerosionandtoprovideafinishedappearance.All disturbed areas outside the limits of the lot shall be seeded using an approved native seed mix specificallyformulatedforuseintheBayfieldarea. Use of Native Grass seed may be approved in rear yards where adult, child and dog use is not planned and where one is attempting to transition to existing adjacent native landscape.

A list of grass seed can be found in Appendix D.

7. Tree RemovalPermission must be obtained from the ARC for the removal of any trees with a trunk diameter of greater than two (2) inches. The plan must indicate the location of all trees including those proposed to be removed.

8. Non-Plant Landscape Elements and MaterialsNon-plant landscape materials refer to all man-made and natural construction materials, which might be incorporated into a landscape design (e.g., fences, concrete, stone, and masonry paving, wood structures, sculptures, yard ornaments, and landscape lighting fixtures). Natural constructionmaterials includeimported rocks and boulders. All non-plant landscape materials shall complement the material, color, and texture of the adjacent dwelling, neighborhood and the Homestead Trails community.

9. Landscape IrrigationBoth xeric and non-xeric plants will benefit from judicious application of water to aid in healthyestablishment. Once established, properly selected plants will continue to grow with natural precipitation. Althoughanirrigationplanisnotspecificallyrequiredaspartofalandscapesubmittal,theapplicantshallindicate if the proposed planting will include a permanent irrigation system and shall designate the type of system.

10. Water FeaturesWater features such as ponds, streams, waterfalls and fountains shall be integrated into overall landscape design.

The depth of any pond or stream shall be no greater than two (2) feet. Pumps and mechanical equipment shall be the submersible type or shall be completely enclosed in a structure approved by the ARC.\

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES

Wat

er


Calamagrostis acutifolia 'Karl Foerster' or 'Overdam'

Feather Reed Grass

Tall green stalks and leaves. Tawny, elongate seed heads. Turns more orange-brown at end of season and keeps form through winter. 'Overdam' has variegated leaves.

Festuca glauca Blue Fescue Very strong tufts. Keeps blue-grey color into winter.

Helictrotrichon sempervirens

Blue Avena Grass Keeps blue-grey color into winter.

Panicum virgatum Switchgrass Several varieties. Slender tufts, 2 to 4 feet tall. Interesting seed heads. Intense

bronze to burgundy fall color, persisting into early winter.

Schyzachyrium scoparium Little Bluestem Tall clumps, 2 –4’ tall. Bronze, feathery seed heads in late summer. Foliage

turns rust to bronze color in fall which persists into winter.

Sorghastrum nutans 'Blue Sioux'

Indiangrass Blue foliage turns yellow in fall. Good in large plantings.

Stipa tenuissima Mexican Feather Grass

Very airy, light green clumps. Keeps seedheads and golden-tawny stalks through winter.

Elymus glaucus Blue Wildrye Tufts 2 to 4 feet tall with intense blue color. Growth rate depends on moisture. Holds color through winter.

Miscanthus sinenesis Maiden Grass Several varieties. All tufted. Various water requirements and leaf color.

Spartina pectinata Prairie Cordgrass Tufts of arching leaves. Compact flower head above leaves.

Key to Water Regimes: VL = Very Low; no supplemental irrigation.

L = Low; 0.5” 1x/month, or 4-8 gal/sf/year, and no water during rainy periods (similar to streambank wheatgrass lawn).

M = Moderate; 0.5” 2x/month, or 8-12 gal/sf/year, but no water during rainy periods (similar to fescue lawn). H = High; 0.5” 1x/week or 12-18+ gal/sf/year (similar to bluegrass lawn), or use in areas of runoff accumulation.

Key to Height Classes: VL = Very Low; less than 18 inches high at maturity. L = Low; 1½ to 3 feet high under normal conditions. M = Medium; 3 to 6 feet high under normal conditions. T = Tall; greater than 6 feet high normal conditions; some may be pruned to tree form.

Heights (in feet) for trees are after 20 to 30 years, but less than maximums attainable over many decades.

Spread (inches or feet) for trees, shrubs, and groundcovers are typical maximums for mature plants.
