Category I requests consist of completing a single form along with any necessary brochures, drawings, etc. and submitting to the DRC. Category II requests are more complex and require significantly more information. Please refer to definitions of what is a Category I or II improvement located in the beginning of the Design Review Guidelines. Step 1 Category I Improvements: Owner should fill out Architectural or Landscape Request Form from the Association. All proposed construction must be in accordance with the requirements of all applicable federal, state and local codes and regulations. Please note on the application that Category I improvements only, are being sought. No prior approval is required providing that improvements meet category I requirements. Step 1 Category II Improvements: If owner is requesting Category II improvements, owner is to complete and sign the request(s), attaching three copies of any applicable plans, specifications, drawings, manufacturers brochures, city building permits, signed construction regulations, and/or other descriptions. All submissions must be in triplicate and include all information requested on the Architectural Request Form and these Guidelines. Step 3 Fees: The Request Form and accompanying documentation shall be submitted to the Association, accompanied by an application review fee as listed below: Category I improvements do not require an application fee. Category II Improvements require a $25 application fee. Please note that check is to be made out to Prime Association Services and not the association. For any proposed improvement which will require the use of professional review consultant on behalf on the association, owner will be apprised of that fee which will be determined based upon the need for consultants time. Step 4 Design Review: Applications for approval of plans with documentation and fees / security deposits shall be submitted to: /Design Review Committee C/o Prime Association Services B Country Club Drive, Suite 340 Palm Desert, CA The DRC will review the forms for adequacy of information, as well as whether all required materials (including all accompanying documentation, plans and specifications) have been received. Members of the DRC may visit the site to understand the scope of the modification and/or improvement. Said review shall take place at the first meeting of the DRC following receipt of Owner's application. If an application is determined to be incomplete and/or additional documentation or inquiry is required, the Management Agent shall contact the applicant as soon

9 as possible. In such an event, an application requiring more documentation and/or information shall not be deemed "complete" or "submitted." Should the requested improvement be determined to have substantial effect upon neighbor s property, DRC shall notify affected neighboring property owners of said application and allow two weeks for submission of commentary on said improvement. The DRC shall take such input into account with regard to the approval to the extent deemed necessary by the DRC. After it has determined that all required materials have been received and the application is complete" (as that term is defined above), the DRC shall transmit its decisions and the reasons therefore related to the improvements to the Applicant at the address set forth in the application within forty five (45) days after the DRC has determined that the application is complete. The DRC shall further notify the Applicant if an Architectural improvement Agreement is required. If the DRC fails to approve or disapprove Owners application within forty five (45) days after the application has been deemed complete", approval of the architectural request will not be required. Step 5 - Permits: Upon approval of "Final Design" submittals by the DRC, the Owner may apply for a building permit. Approval of any project by the DRC does not waive the necessity of obtaining the required City and/or County permits. Obtaining a City and/or County permit does not waive the need for DRC approval. The DRC shall not knowingly approve a project which is in violation of any City or County building or zoning codes. For any project involving a contractor's services, the Owner shall advise the contractor to contact the Association prior to starting work for specific conditions and restrictions associated with the conduct of the work within the subdivision. Step 6 Notice of Completion: Regardless of whether you are installing Category I or Category II improvements, a notice of completion is required to verify that completion of the appropriate improvement has been completed. Simply fill out the completion form included in your welcome packet, attach photographs or any additionally required information that will assist the committee in verifying completion of the project and mail it in to management. Step 7 Request for Deposit Refund (If applicable) Each owner has an obligation to install landscaping upon all portions of their lot within 180 days following the initial close of escrow. The developer has installed landscaping in the front yard but an owner must install landscaping on the sideyards and in the rear yard. A $100 refundable deposit to ensure completion of appropriate landscaping installed within this time frame has been collected through the escrow process. If you meet the time-frame obligation, AND have installed either Category I landscaping (which does not require prior approval) or Category II improvements that have been approved PRIOR to installing, the association will refund the $100 deposit if no damage to the common areas including streets, sidewalks, landscaping etc. were incurred as part of your installation. Please complete the appropriate notice of completion form. Step 6 - During and After Construction: Owner shall be responsible for compliance with all Design Review Guidelines found herein and as set forth in Article XI of the CC&R s, and all Construction Rules herein.
