consistent development <strong>and</strong> maintenance of property in <strong>and</strong> about the Project, including without<br />

application to residential properties.<br />

12.2 Aaalication of Proiect Documents. Declarant may, in the Tract Declaration<br />

Recorded with respect to a Non-Residential Parcel, fully exempt that Non-Residential Parcel kom<br />

such provisions of this Declaration <strong>and</strong> the other Project Documents as Declarant sees fit, or modii<br />

the effect on that Non-Residential Parcel of one or more provisions of this Declaration <strong>and</strong> the other<br />

Project Documents in such manner <strong>and</strong> to such extent as Declarant sees fit. Further, <strong>and</strong> without<br />

limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as <strong>and</strong> to the extent otherwise expressly provided in<br />

the Tract Declaration Recorded with respect to a Non-Residential Parcel, the provisions of Sections<br />

3.2 through 336, inclusive, <strong>and</strong> Articles 5.6 <strong>and</strong> 7 of this Declaration shall not apply to that Non-<br />

Declaration, establish the number of Memberships <strong>and</strong> votes (if any) to which the Owner($ of that<br />

Parcel will be entitled (<strong>and</strong> any limitations or restrictions on the right of such Owner@) to cast such<br />

all of its rights as Declarant under the Original Declaration, as amended, to Declarant by that<br />

certain Assignment of Declarants Rights recorded on November 8, 1999, in Document No.<br />

99-1026274 in the Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona (the "Assignment"). The<br />

STETSON HILLS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC.<br />

Amended <strong>and</strong> Restated Design Guidelines<br />

I. INTRODUCTION<br />

Stetson Hills is a community designed to respect the climate <strong>and</strong> regional character of its location, minimize<br />

environmental impact <strong>and</strong> maximize water <strong>and</strong> energy conservation principles. In order to implement <strong>and</strong><br />

preserve these principles, these Design Guidelines have been established to maintain certain st<strong>and</strong>ards by<br />

which the community may grow <strong>and</strong> develop. The Architectural Committee henceforth shall be known as the<br />

Architectural Review Committee (ARC).<br />

The Design Guidelines provide an overall framework <strong>and</strong> a comprehensive set of guidelines by establishing<br />

criteria for the design, size, location, style, structure, materials <strong>and</strong> color of architecture <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>scaping, as<br />

well as relevant criteria for the construction or modification of all Improvements made by any party other than<br />

Del Webb’s Coventry Homes, Inc. (the “Declarant”). They also establish a process for the judicious review of<br />

proposed Improvements or alterations. However, the Design Guidelines are not the exclusive basis for<br />

decisions of the ARC, <strong>and</strong> compliance with the Design Guidelines does not guarantee approval of any<br />

application. An Application form for repainting <strong>and</strong> other projects is attached. Application forms are also<br />

available online at http://www.stetsonhills.us/ or by calling the <strong>Community</strong> Manager. Please ensure you are<br />

using the most currently adopted form.<br />

The Design Guidelines, which have been adopted by the Stetson Hills <strong>Community</strong> Association, Inc. (the<br />

Association”), are an Amended <strong>and</strong> Restated version of the original Design Guidelines dated June 1, 1999<br />

prepared by the Declarant. All terms used but not defined herein shall be given the meanings ascribed to<br />

them in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions <strong>and</strong> Restrictions for Stetson Hills (the “Declaration”) <strong>and</strong><br />

any supplements or amendments thereto, unless the context requires otherwise. The Design Guidelines will<br />

be administered by the ARC pursuant to Article 5, Section 5.11 of the Declaration. The ARC monitors any<br />

portion of any Lot which is Visible from Neighboring Property. Visible from Neighboring Property is defined in<br />

the Declaration as any given object that is or would be visible to a person six (6) feet tall, st<strong>and</strong>ing at ground<br />

level on any part of an adjoining Lot, Common Area or street. This would include backyards which are<br />

visually open to other Lots or Association Common Areas.<br />

In the event of conflict between the Design Guidelines <strong>and</strong> any government ordinance, building code or<br />

regulation, the more restrictive st<strong>and</strong>ard shall prevail.<br />

II.<br />

IMPROVEMENTS/MODIFICATIONS TO A LOT<br />

A. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL REQUIRED<br />

No Improvement shall be constructed or installed within the <strong>Community</strong> without the prior written approval<br />

of the ARC. No addition, alteration, repair, change or other work which in any way alters the exterior<br />

appearance (including but without limitation, the exterior color scheme) of any property within the<br />

<strong>Community</strong>, or any Improvements located thereon, shall be made or done without the prior written<br />

approval of the ARC. Each Owner is responsible for removing or otherwise curing, at its expense, noncomplying<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or unapproved Improvements.<br />

B. ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN CHARACTER<br />

1. The architectural design of all additions, alterations <strong>and</strong> renovations to the exterior of any Residential<br />

Unit shall conform to the design of the original Residential Unit in style, detailing, materials <strong>and</strong> color.<br />

2. The height of any addition to an existing Residential Unit shall not be higher than the original roof line.<br />

3. All additions to Residential Units shall be built within the setback lines originally established for<br />

Stetson Hills or as changed by the Declarant or Developer with the requisite approval of the City of<br />

Phoenix.<br />

4. All materials used in the maintenance, repair, addition <strong>and</strong> alteration of any structure or Improvement<br />

subject to review hereunder, shall match those used in the initial construction of the Improvement as<br />

to color, composition, type <strong>and</strong> method of attachment. The ARC may allow substitute materials if it<br />

deems such materials to be compatible with the theme of the <strong>Community</strong>.<br />

5. No addition, alteration or renovation of an existing Residential Unit or any other activity on a Lot may<br />

alter the established Lot drainage (as established by the Declarant).<br />

6. Any addition or change to a Residential Unit shall be within the model selection choices offered by the<br />

original Builder, or if it was not offered by the original Builder, may not exceed ten percent (10%) of<br />

the footprint of the Residential Unit.<br />

7. The quality of workmanship evidenced in construction, must be equal to or better than that of<br />

surrounding properties.<br />

III.<br />

DESIGN GUIDELINES<br />

A. ANTENNAS AND SATELLITE DISHES<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ard television antennas as well as other over-the-air reception devices (including satellite dishes) of<br />

less than one (1) meter in diameter must be located in the rear yard of the property <strong>and</strong> within the<br />

confines of the fence walls. Over-the-air reception devices that require towers or poles exceeding the<br />

height of the fence so as to be Visible from Neighboring Property are prohibited. Installation of such overthe-air<br />

reception devices shall comply with these Design Guidelines to the maximum extent feasible<br />

under applicable Federal regulations.<br />

B. AWNINGS AND OTHER ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES<br />

Awnings, canopies, shutters, security shields, tile, iron, stone or other such architectural features on the<br />

front of the Residential Unit must conform to the theme <strong>and</strong> color scheme of the Residential Unit <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Community</strong>. Awnings or canopies must be a high quality <strong>and</strong> durable fabric of a solid color. Patio<br />

awnings must be retractable, horizontally stabilized <strong>and</strong> made of quality material. The total square<br />

footage of the patio must not exceed ten percent (10%) of the livable square footage of the Residential<br />

Unit. Submittal of such items must include a drawing with the location of the proposed installation, a<br />

sample of the material to be used, colors <strong>and</strong> designs. Owners shall be responsible for the maintenance<br />

<strong>and</strong> repair of such items. The Association retains the right to determine when items must be cleaned,<br />

repaired or replaced due to weathering, fading, tearing, etc.<br />

C. BASKETBALL EQUIPMENT<br />

No basketball goal, backboard or similar structure or device shall be placed or constructed on any Lot or<br />

Parcel so as to be Visible from Neighboring Property without the prior approval of the ARC, including<br />

without limitation, approval as to appearance, height <strong>and</strong> location. Notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing the above, portable<br />

goals may be placed on a Lot without prior written approval of the ARC, provided, however, that such<br />

portable goals are promptly stored as not to be Visible from Neighboring Property when not in use. All<br />

shall be fully independent <strong>and</strong> will have full authority for approval or denial of any such matters.<br />

2. The ARC will review each submittal <strong>and</strong> respond within sixty (60) days after receipt of a complete<br />

Members) indicating the Committee’s decision, in one of the following three forms:<br />

a. “Approved” – The entire document submitted is approved in total.<br />

b. (b)“Approved with Stipulation” – The document submitted is partially approved. An Owner may<br />

proceed with the work to be performed, unless noted otherwise; however, the Owner must<br />

comply with any <strong>and</strong> all notations on the submittal. The response will set forth suggestions for<br />

bringing disapproved items into conformity with the Declaration <strong>and</strong> these Design Guidelines.<br />

c. (c)“Rejected” – The entire document submitted is not approved <strong>and</strong> no work may commence.<br />

not applicable) with the submission of the additional information by the Owner.<br />

3. In the event the ARC fails to respond by the Response Date, the document submitted will be deemed<br />

to have been approved, except as to those submittals <strong>and</strong> requirements which are otherwise imposed<br />

by or required under these Design Guidelines or the Declaration. ARC decisions shall be based<br />

solely on the information contained in the submittal. Owners must call the Association Management<br />

Company prior to starting any work if written approvals have not been received to ensure<br />

correspondence has not been lost in the mail. The approval of the ARC may contain a deadline for<br />

commencement <strong>and</strong>/or completion of work for which plans have been approved. If no deadline is<br />

specified in the approval or per the Declaration, the deadline for completion of the approved work<br />

shall be deemed to be sixty (60) days. If construction is not timely commenced <strong>and</strong>/or completed, the<br />

ARC’s approval will be deemed withdrawn <strong>and</strong> such incomplete construction will be deemed to be in<br />

violation of these Design Guidelines.<br />

The ARC, the Association <strong>and</strong> their designated agents shall have the right, but not the obligation, to<br />

enter any Lot to inspect any work requiring approval of the ARC, both during performance <strong>and</strong> after<br />

completion of such work. Any work which has not been approved by the ARC, or which is not being<br />

performed in accordance with the plans approved by the ARC, will be immediately removed by the<br />

Owner of the Lot at such Owner’s sole cost <strong>and</strong> expense.<br />

D. FEES<br />

In accordance with Article 3, Section 3.2.9 of the Declaration, the ARC may establish <strong>and</strong> charge<br />

reasonable fees for review of application hereunder <strong>and</strong> may require such fees to be paid in full prior to<br />
