1 The Park at Willow Creek Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S) The Park at Willow Creek was developed with the intention of creating the premiere Townhome project in San Marcos and the only upscale "move down" project. Our Lock and Leave lifestyle was designed for active adults seeking less maintenance responsibility, a secure and comfortable environment along with upscale finishes in an affordable package. Our location at the entrance of the prestigious Willow Creek Estates is unsurpassed. Willow Creek contains almost 400 homes ranging in value from the $200,000's to over $700,000. Willow Creek has long been considered one of the finest neighborhoods in San Marcos, with easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment and medical services. The Park at Willow Creek is currently platted for 41 homes. Each of the 11 buildings will contain 3, 4, or 5 townhomes. There are four floor plans, which can be combined in a variety of combinations, intended to create different front elevations along Stagecoach Trail. How many floor plans are offered? We currently offer 4 different floor plans. Two of the plans are single level and two of the plans are two-story. Our plans range in size from 1,689 to 2,274 square feet. All of our homes feature three bedrooms, although architectural options are created should a purchaser prefer a study option instead of a third bedroom. The first floor of all the homes feature 10 ceiling height; the second floor features 9 ceiling height. Please describe owner maintenance obligations. The Courtyards are the only area that the homeowner is required to maintain. The buildings have been crafted of 100% masonry exteriors with an architectural profile composition shingle roof. The only area requiring regular upkeep will be the painted fascia and soffit of each building, which is the responsibility of the Homeowners Association. The irrigation and landscaping will be under the control of the Homeowners Association as well.

2 What are the Homeowners Dues? The initial dues have been established at $125 per month. This initially includes irrigation, landscape maintenance, and maintenance of the vehicular access gates. In the future, the Association will establish replacement reserves that will be utilized for exterior painting, roof replacement, and replacement or maintenance of common area elements. The Owners, based upon a professional estimate of future replacement cost will determine the amount. Where can I see the Homeowners documents? All documents are available on our website at What is the construction of the common wall between units? The shared walls between the townhomes are a pair of independent 2x4 walls. Their independent nature avoids the drum head effect because they do not come in contact with one another, thus minimizing the transfer of sound waves. Each owner s wall (both of the 2x4 walls) will have a layer of batt insulation that will provide noise damping and energy efficiency characteristics. Separating the pair of walls in this double frame is a double layer of 1-inch thick Silent Shaft drywall framed in a metal track. While the primary purpose of this UL listed system is to provide a 2-hour fire rating between the units, the Silent Shaft drywall product is commonly used for elevator shafts for sound insulation. What warranty will I receive? The builders warranty is available for review on our website, Please explain the various pricing found on the same floor plans. Base unit pricing for each model can be found at our website. The builder and decorator for each respective unit have revised completed unit pricing based upon upgrades that were selected. An option and upgrade sheet is available in each completed model so that you can see which items are not considered a standard finish. 2

3 What decorative items can I select if I purchase a unit? Depending upon the stage of construction of the unit you select, you can choose whether you want a study, formal dining room, or second living area in selected units. You may choose all decorative finishes including cabinet wood and finish color, wall color and finish texture, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, door and bath hardware, countertop surfaces, tub and shower tile, flooring types, i.e.: tile, stone, wood, carpet, and you can choose from 6 front door styles. Additionally, we offer options of kitchen appliances, whirlpool tubs, pavers or stone courtyards, framed mirrors in the baths, second fireplaces in select units, and several other items. Please feel free to ask. We encourage personalized finishes as we are in no way a production-housing product. How do I select the decorator finish items? Your purchase price includes 8 hours of decorator assistance from our interior designer. Additional hours may be arranged directly with our decorator at the rate of $50 per hour. You are under no obligation to utilize our decorator, however she is certainly the person most familiar with our project. May I select items from any vendor? Yes, however that option may not result in optimum pricing for you as we have pre-established discounting available from selected vendors. What is the standard finish for the Courtyard? The standard finish for each courtyard is grass, however in building one we have completed the courtyards in a variety of ways to show options available to the purchaser at an additional cost. Tell us about the garage options? All homes feature two car garages off the private rear access driveway. The ninefoot high garage doors with the ceiling height just over 10 feet allows the homeowner ample room for oversize vehicles, ceiling mounted racks for sporting equipment, storage rack systems, wall mounted storage cabinets, or any variety of other storage options. 3

4 Will there be a swimming pool? The developer has reserved an area in which a swimming pool could be built in the future, should the homeowners elect to do so. It is not included in your home price. Are there other planned amenities? An area has been reserved for the HOA to establish a community garden. Where is guest parking planned for the neighborhood? Each home will feature a driveway adequate in size to park two vehicles. In addition, there will be guest parking on the opposite side of the rear access driveway near the main project entrance. Parking is not prohibited along Stagecoach Drive, so your guests may also park there and enter via sidewalk through your front door. Will the entire project be fenced? No, there will be wrought iron fencing from each vehicular access gate to the nearest building, along certain areas at the rear of the project, between adjoining buildings and at the main entrance however the front of each individual building is not intended to be fenced. The Park is designed to prohibit vehicular access to the private access drive. How many vehicle access gates will there be? There will be three, as the project is completed. The main access gate at Stagecoach will feature a phone system allowing a visitor to call a specific home as identified on the directory by owner name. The owner could then open the gate through the system allowing their guest access to the private driveway. Why has the landscaping not been completed? As you may know, Central Texas is suffering through an unprecedented drought. Not only would it be an irresponsible use of our precious water to install extensive landscaping at this time, but also the City of San Marcos currently prohibits the installation of new landscaping in the current phase of water rationing. Landscaping will be installed at the earliest opportunity and we are confident you will be pleased with our finished product. 4

5 How long will it take to complete the Park at Willow Creek? It is difficult to estimate sales absorption, however we estimate 3-4 years to complete all units in the project. We will construct buildings in an orderly fashion, from Snyder Hill Drive, North and East toward Hunter Road. This should minimize the inconvenience to our residents during our construction process. How close are medical facilities? Close! At the entrance to Willow Creek Estates is the Stagecoach Professional Center, home to a number of physician offices. Central Texas Medical Center is less than five minutes away, and that area also is home to the majority of medical services and physicians for the San Marcos area Is financing available? Yes, from a variety of sources. Ask our sales representative for a list of mortgage options. Additionally, our Realtor can assist you with the best option to suit your specific needs. Who is the builder? RDC-Park, Ltd. is the building entity. They have contracted with Chris Wood, a well-respected local builder for the construction of the project. Who is the subdivision Developer? WDG-Park, Ltd. Is the Development entity. The President of that entity is Robert W. McDonald III, who has developed many residential and commercial projects in our community over the past 25 years.
