4 Article I Introduction 1. Classic View Estates Homeowners Association Responsibilities One of the responsibilities of the Classic View Estates Homeowners Association ("the Association") is the control of the physical character of Classic View Estates (the "Community") and to enhance the desirability and attractiveness of the Community. The Association is charged with the administration and enforcement of Architectural Control within the Community by the authority given to it in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the "CC&R s ) of the Association. The CC&R s provide for an Architectural Control Committee (the "Committee") with the authority to review and approve all drawings and plans submitted to it for all proposed improvements within the Community. The CC&R s authorize the establishment of guidelines (the Architectural Guidelines") to be administered by the Committee. The CC&R s provide the Committee with the authority to establish procedural rules appropriate to the type and nature of the proposed improvement for which drawings or plans have been submitted. 2. Purpose of Architectural Guidelines The purpose of the Architectural Guidelines is to provide continuity for the physical character of the Community. The intent is to give specific design criteria to property owners ("Homeowners") for subsequent property improvements after the completion of original construction by the developer as well as to maintain an esthetically harmonious design within the Community. The Architectural Guidelines are written to preserve a high quality of appearance, to assure compatibility between property improvements, and to protect and enhance the Community's overall value. The Architectural Guidelines are intended to be used by Homeowners and consultants in preparing drawings for architectural, landscape, and other improvements. The Architectural guidelines are used by the Committee in reviewing submitted drawings and property improvement requests for conformance with the stated objectives. The Committee reviews proposed property improvements for aesthetic purposes only. It is the Homeowner's responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, and local building codes as well as to obtain any required permits. 3. Prior Architectural Control Committee Approval Required Each Homeowner s proposed design for any exterior modification or property improvement to an existing home (unless otherwise noted herein), completed lot, or structure on a lot, shall be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Control Committee prior to the commencement of the modification. All Homeowners must submit the design, site plan and/or description of the modification to the Committee and receive approval prior to beginning the modification or property improvement. If a homeowner is conducting maintenance to the property that does not change the appearance, i.e.: Painting the exterior the same color, replacing the roof with like material/color, replacing/repairing a fence, replacing or removing dead or overgrown landscaping, ACC approval IS NOT needed. Not every Architectural issue is addressed within these guidelines. If you are uncertain whether a particular improvement will require Committee approval, please contact the Committee. Article II, Section 1.2 (p) Driveways/Sidewalks/Parking Areas amended 5/1/2017 1
