CONTROL
No
building, fence, wall, outbuilding or other structure or improvement shall be commenced, erected
or maintained upon the Properties, nor shall any exterior addition to or
change or alteration therein be made, nor shall any material alteration,
addition or deletion be made to the landscaping of a Lot, until the plans and
specifications showing the nature, kind,
shape, height, materials, location and all other reasonable detail of
the same
shall have been submitted to and approved in writing as to harmony of
external
design and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography
by an
architectural committee composed of five (5) or more representatives
named in
this Article or subsequently appointed by the Board of Directors of the
Association (the "Architectural Committee"), as hereinafter provided. In the event the
Architectural
Committee fails to approve or disapprove the plans and specifications within
sixty (60) days after the complete plans
and specifications have been submitted to them in accordance with this
Declaration, approval will not be required and this Article will be
deemed to
have been fully complied with. In the event any improvement is destroyed in
whole or in part, the improvement shall be reconstructed in accordance
with the
original plans and specifications approved by the Architectural
Committee and
any subsequently approved modifications thereto, or if the Owner desires
to
change the plans and specifications, all terms and conditions of this
Declaration shall be complied with as if no improvement had been
previously
constructed. Each member of the Architectural Committee must be an Owner.
Thereafter, all members shall serve at the
pleasure of the Board of Directors of the Association. All notices or submission
requests
to be
given to the Architectural Committee shall be in writing delivered by
mail to
the principal registered office of the Association as from time to time
set
forth in the records of the office of the Secretary of State of Florida,
Corporate Division. Three copies of all such plans and specifications to
be
approved shall be furnished to the Architectural Committee. The plans and specifications
shall include the following information:
(1) Building plans showing floor plans and
front, side and rear elevations.
(2) Exterior finish schedule showing material,
style, and color for all surfaces.
(3) Site plan showing location of
buildings, drives, parking areas, sidewalks,
and all other improvements.
(4) Landscape plan. The landscape plan may be
submitted after construction commences,
but must be approved by the Architectural Committee and implemented
before
occupancy.
(5) The contractor who will perform and be
responsible for all work.
The
purpose
of this Article in providing the Architectural Committee with the
authority to approve or disapprove plans and specifications for all
improvements constructed on the Lots is to maintain the value of all
Lots and
to protect all Owners against a diminution of value resulting from the
construction of a residence or other structure
incompatible with the proper development of the Properties. The disapproval of such plans and
specifications shall be in the sole discretion of the Architectural
Committee
and shall be based upon the following factors:
(1) Harmony of exterior
design with
the existing or proposed improvements to the Lot.
(2) General quality in comparison with the
existing improvements to the Lots.
(3) Location in relation to surrounding
improvements.
(4)
Location
in relation to topography.
(5) Aesthetic considerations.
The
Architectural
Committee may establish and specify for any Lot, prior to
construction, standards and requirements relating to excavation, dirt
and fill
storage, digging, backfilling, etc. for utility trenches and house
construction, the color and composition of roofing materials, color and
composition of bricks or siding, and the style of architecture. Such
standards
and requirements may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the
following:
off-site
storage of fill, dirt or construction debris; stockpiling of fill from
utility trenches; backfilling utility trenches; and the general appearance
of the houses. Such standards and
requirements may vary from lot to lot and may be imposed by the
Architectural
Committee in its sole discretion so as to minimize disruption of trees,
tree
roots, existing ground cover, or other natural features. Indiscriminate grading or trenching will be
strictly forbidden to minimize harm to natural features which protect
and
enhance the beauty and privacy of the entire Properties and to encourage
the
aesthetic standards of the neighborhood.
