1. GENERAL 1.1 QTS Architects has been appointed as the controlling architect. The Lombardy Estate Homeowners Association Constitution makes it incumbent upon all owners to obtain the controlling architect s approval before commencement of construction and thereafter, before any changes are made to the external appearance of buildings, landscaping and external features. 1.2 The controlling architect shall at all times balance the project and individual owner s requirements with that of the estate and environment and reserves the right to withhold approval if the requirements of the guidelines are in their opinion not met. 1.3 The HOA in collaboration with the controlling architect further reserve the right to make additions and alterations to these guidelines, which in their opinion, is necessary to create and guide the continual growth of the architectural style and character that is envisaged for the entire estate. 1.4 Clients are obliged to appoint Professional and SACAP registered Architects to design the proposed house. Note that the appointed architect must be the author of the design and may not merely supervise a third party. As per the SACAP code of conduct a registered professional may not sign-off on a design or drawing if they are not the bone fide author. 1.5 Construction supervision by the client s appointed architect is compulsory. The intention of this rule is to ensure that the project is completed as per the approved architectural drawings and that any unavoidable changes are handled in an appropriate manner that conforms to the architectural design. We will require written confirmation from the design architect that the project was completed under their supervision as per their design and the guidelines. These reports need to correspond to the 3 set HOA inspections. 1.6 Plans are to be submitted to QTS Architects for HOA approval by the client s architect. 1.7 The client s plans will also require approval by the local authorities prior to any building activities. The restrictions set out in these guidelines are in addition to any restrictions imposed in terms of conditions of title, the town planning scheme and the National Building Regulations. Approval of the HOA Aesthetics committee does not imply or constitute any authority or structural approval. 3 P a g e
1.8 Refer to section 3 aesthetics committee approval process for further detail on the submission process requirements. 1.9 All correspondence with QTS regarding design approvals and construction inspections are to be done by the owner s architect. All correspondence to be submitted via the HOA to ensure that all parties stay informed. 1.10 IMPORTANT NOTES RELEVANT DURING CONSTRUCTION: 1.10.1 Any deviations from the approved building plans will result in a fine of R30 000.00 excluding VAT, payable by the contractor to the HOA. In addition to the fine, it is compulsory to repair defective work and to re-instate the construction work in line with the approved building plans. 1.10.2 The onus rests with the client to notify the HOA that the inspection milestones (as detailed in 3.4.3) have been reached. 1.10.3 A fine of R5000.00 will be levied each time a client fails to notify the HOA of a required inspection. 1.10.4 Clients are not permitted to occupy houses until a council, client s architect and HOA completion certificate has been issued (3 certificates). 1.10.5 Note that council may not approve any drawings that have not been approved and stamped by the HOA. Council may also not give occupation if changes have been made to the completed house that have not been approved and stamped by the HOA and council. 1.10.6 Building work must commence within 1 year of the purchase date of the property. 1.10.7 Building work must be completed within 12 months from commencement of building work. 1.10.8 A building deposit of R15 000.00 is payable at the start of construction in line with HOA contractual requirements. Of this amount, R5 000.00 will be retained as an infrastructure maintenance levy and the remaining R10 000.00 will be returned to the owner upon successful HOA occupation grant. 1.11 All surrounding neighbours need to sign off on new designs using the document in addendum E. The reasons for any objections to a proposed new design need to be clearly stated. These objections will be reviewed by the aesthetics committee and a final decision will be made. 4 P a g e

2.1 DENSITY AND COVERAGE: 2.1.1 The maximum building coverage is 50% (including covered patios and outbuildings, but excluding open patios, pools, etc.).note that in a number of cases the town planning department has insisted that Lombardy Estate and the surrounding area falls under the Peri-Urban Areas Town-planning Scheme, 1975. Under this scheme the coverage is only 30%. The council usually allows a 40% relaxation in these cases. 2.1.2 The floor area of an upper level (including any double volume) may not exceed 60% of the total floor area of the level directly below. 2.1.3 Only one residence per erf is allowed with the exception of staff accommodation or a granny flat (which is limited to 35m² for the estate). These shall not be housed in a separate building. 2.1.4 Houses are limited to a minimum size of 300m² 2.2 MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT: 2.2.1 Single residential plots: Two storeys 2.3 BUILDING LINES: Building lines apply to all residential sites irrespective of erf size to the following parameters: 2.3.1 Street Boundary: 5000mm 2.3.2 Peripheral Park Boundary (erven 403, 404,, 407, 413, 418, 420): 2000mm 2.3.3 Internal Park Boundary (erven 405, 406, 415, 416, 419, 421, 422): 3750mm 2.3.4 Side Boundaries: 2000mm for a single storey, 3750mm for those portions of the house that exceeds 4500mm in height but not exceeding 7500mm 9 P a g e
in height. Where the height exceeds 7500mm, side building lines are 4500mm for that portion. 2.3.5 Side building lines may be relaxed in regard to the positioning of garages and other portions of the house to the discretion of the committee. Standard council approval submission will apply. 2.3.6 According to Clause 12 City of Tshwane Town Planning Scheme, all Southern boundary building lines are restricted to 3000mm for single storey and 4000mm for double storey. Therefore the restriction on any side or rear boundary that aligns predominantly with a South aspect, will be dictated by the City of Tshwane Town Planning Scheme. Lombardy Estate will still allow and approve the smaller Lombardy building line restriction for HOA plan approval but the implication for the purposes of council plan approval will be that a building line relaxation will have to be applied for. This responsibility and cost will be borne by the owner. 2.4 ARCHITECTURAL STYLE 2.4.1 The architecture is based on the timeless and sophisticated prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright, reflecting strong horizontal lines, low pitched tiled hip roofs with large overhangs. 2.4.2 This is contrasted and complimented by chimneys and other vertical accents and the use of rendered (plastered) brick walls in combination with natural stone and other minimalist contemporary elements. 2.4.3 This horizontality of design must be emphasised through the architectural massing and not just facade treatment. The larger ground floor footprint area must be allocated in a manner that enhances the horizontality of the entire building. 2.4.4 The privacy of neighbours must be taken into consideration at all times. 2.4.5 Buildings should be stepped to follow the contours of the site. 10 P a g e
2.4.6 ROOFS: 2.4.6.1 Roof pitch to be 17.5 degrees. 2.4.6.2 Overhangs to be 1200mm in all instances and directions (even when overhanging a flat concrete roof). 2.4.6.3 All pitched roofs to be hip roofs with boxed in overhangs. 2.4.6.4 Pitched roofs with gable ends are allowed as special consideration. 2.4.6.5 Large roofs must be broken down into smaller geometric components to provide a more fragmented mass. 2.4.6.6 The excessive use of valleys and hips is not desirable and must be avoided. 2.4.6.7 Care must be taken with the roof truss design and contractors must be made aware of the complex nature of the roof overhang geometry. 2.4.6.8 Recommended roof tiles are flat un-profiled cement shingles, to approved colour. Marley Modern or Lafarge Elite are good examples. 2.4.6.9 Only concealed gutters & downpipes are allowed. 2.4.6.10 Flat concrete roofs may be used in combination with tiled roofs. 2.4.6.11 The area of flat roofs may not to exceed that of tiled roofs. 2.4.6.12 Visible waterproofing to be covered with pebbles or landscaped features. 11 P a g e

The concealment of these items should not be treated as an add-on or afterthought when the project is complete. 13 P a g e
