SECTION I

DESJGN REVIEW

101 POLICY STATEMENT

Property in WEKIVA COVE is subject to Deed Restrictions. These restrictions provide that .the improvement of any propertY or the design and construction of any buildings require the review and approval of the Deelarents thereto, who have delegated this power to the WEKIVA COVE Environmental Control Committee. At some futtlre date, this Committee will be replaced by an Architectural and Landscaping Committee as provided by WEKIVA COVE Homeowners Association, Inc.

The WEKIVA COVE Environmental Control Committee was established to carry out a mandate to enhance the environmental quality and economic value of all properties in WEKIVA COVE and to work in cooperation with the property owners, to help make this community a uniquely desirable place to live, work and play.

The Committee does not seek to restrict individual taste or preferences. In general,

its aim is to avoid harsh contrasts in the landscape; to foster thoughtful design so

that there is harmony between the buildings and their sites as well as among the structures themselves: to encourage freedom of individual expression in the development of land and buildings, limited only by those protections which seem to be mutually advantageous to all of those residing within WEKIVA COVE's boundaries. "The Committee intends to be completely fair and objective in the design review process and impartial and understanding of individual goals. It is the intent of the Committee to eliminate serious environmental problems through its special knowledge of local conditions.

102 DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS

All applicants are required to submit plans and specifications in duplicate for final review and approval. Though not mandatory, it is strongly suggested that the required documents be submitted for preliminary review and approval. In this manner, the applicant will have every opportunity to communicate with the Committee on matters of concept and basic form prior to investing in completed, fully detailed architectural and engineering drawings and specifications.

For multi·family, residential and commercial or special use categories of development, a preliminary as welt as final review is mandatory, except for minor remodeling and exterior refinishing programs.

~rl<.'"''

A period of five (5) ~days after receipt of each application should be allowed for

Committee preliminary review of final review and approval. In aU cases, the Committet will make every effort to expedite review of applications in a shorter period of time.

The application may be acted upon in one of tnree methods:

1 ••• approved (with or without comments) 2 ••• approved as noted (with commenu)

3 •.• not approved (revision and resubmissio,:, required)

No application may be withdrawn if such application has been reviewed and action

.taken by the Committee, either p~eliminary or final, •

Where an application is permitted to be withdrawn, the applicant snail not be entitled to the return of any applicatioc:H_!!S.

106 APPEAL

.'

If an application has been denied,' or the approval is subject to comments or conditions which the applicant determines to be unjust and not fair, the applicant may request

I hearing before the Committee. Any request for a hearing shall be made in writing, stipulating all pertinent facts having bearing on the nature of the appeal; within two

(2) weeks, the applicant will be notified of the time and place of the hearing.

SECTJON II DESIGN STANDARDS

201 DESIGN STANDARDS - GENERAl.

.. Oesign standards have been formulated in an attempt to· improve the design qualitY of the individual elemenu that will make up the WEKIVA COVE communitY.

202 DESIGN DUPLICATrON

The Committee encourages potential home owners to plan their structures in an original design with emphasis on relationship to existing site conditions and neighboring structures.

It is the hope of the Committee that all Owners will seek professional help in plarrning their homes, particularly when site conditions present special problems.

Design duplications in anyone street are discouraged in the WEKIVA COVE community. Design changes may be required to avoid any possible accearance of mass production. Developers constructing a prototype or packaged residential unit must choose site locations carefully so as not to create an appearance of duplication or saturation.

Stock plans will be approved on their individual merit only, The approval of a stock plan for a specific site does not imply that the same plan will be approved in another location of WEKIVA COVE.

203 SITE PLANNING AND USE

203.1 General: The site design, architecture and landscaping should work as a unit. In locating each element or structure on its site every effort shall be made to preserve natural features of the site and to prevent obscuring the principal views of surrounding properties.

Building conformation should take advantage of change in grades, tree locations, and orientation to sun and views.

. Walks, stairs, terraces, patios, exterior paved areas, fences or walls shall be unobtrusive. natural in appearance, and shall be designed as an integral part of the overall design.

203.2

Accessory Facilities: All garbage or trash containers, oil tanks or bottled gas tanlCs (J B

shall be located at the rear or side yard of the structure served, and shaU be installed .fl, IV

underground or rocated within an acceptable screened or a walled-in area so enclosed f1 (j

area is not visible from any street or adjoining property. Any such screened or walled'furf 6 1 in area shall be constructed in such a manner as to be inaccessible to animals.

Sanitary, capped containers will be required for all garbage. /)

. J f)

No outdoor clothes drying shalf be aHowed except in an area shielded from view of

the streets or adjoining property a~d shall b!! subject to comminee approval.

Rear service and storage areas, screened from public view, should be provided; screening can be by means of fencing or by substantial landscacing.

Ih I~ Utility and servi~ boxes shall be shie:ded from public view. Exposure to the skyline

II N I) of utility vent stacks, air handling equipment, etc., shall be reduced to a minimum.

V ' No exposed TV antennas are permitted.' .

II

~

203.3

203.4

XExterior air conditioning compressors and related equipment shall be installed at the / 'rear of the house.

Utilities: All utilities are installed underground in WE K IVA COVE and all services shall be brought from the point of utility company connection underground to the building or structure. Overhead services will not be permitted, except as approved for temporary services.

Meters shall be located in a manner so as to be inconspicuous. Transformers and gas meters shall be appropriately screened from public view.

Grading and Drainage: No bulldozing or clearing of trees, or excavation of lakes or ponds shall be commenced until plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape and location of work have been submitted and apprpved by the Cornrnittee. . Fill shall not be deposited at any location without prior Committee approval. Cut or fill shall be replanted with plant materials which shall blend with native vegetation, Cuts and fills should be designed to compliment the natural topography of the site.

Special attention shall be given to proper site surface drainage so that surface waters will not adversely affect neighboring properties or interfere with natural drainage flows.

Paved areas shall be so designed that surface waters shall be collected at intervals in a manner that will not obstruct the movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic or will not create puddles or ponding in paved or swale areas.

203.5 Parking and Circulation: Consideration shall be given to the proper design and Iccation of parking areas, drives, and pedestrian traffic ways with respect to structures, landscaping, shade and wind patterns.

Arrangement of parking areas shall be safe and convenient and shall not detract from the design of the proposed building and neighboring properties. Utilize tree islands, contoured landscape berms and wide landscape strips to eliminate large, unbroken

ex panses of paving.

Off-street parking is required incidental to residential uses as required by Seminole County Standards. Residential single family parking shall be further qualified to provide 2 fully enclosed spaces per single family residence.

In single family and multi-familv residential areas, Owners or residents of

WEKIVA COVE will not be permitted to park, store or keep any commercial vehicle, boat, truck, trailer, camper, mobile home, bus, trailer coach, tractor, or other such vehicle, unless such vehicle is parked, stored or kept in a totally enclosed structure or. is appropriately screened from view of all surrounding properties, without specific approval from the Architectural Control Committee.

203.6 Fencing: All fences shall be of commercial QU3lity and approved by the Committee.

Fences must be well maintained and shaH be of a decorative character. Chain link

,.,

205 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION - GENERAL

205.1.

Buiiding Height Restrictions: Within a residential district. no dwelling structure of four units or less shall exceed 25· in height unless a variance is granted by the Committee. Applications for all such structures in excess of 25' will be subject to approval of the Commit~ee and the County Zoning Officials.

~

205.2 Exterior Design: The overall building design will be evaluated in terms of mass,

material, texture, color and detail.

205.3

The exterior materials and texture should give a feeling of unity. Directional changes and the application of secondary materials for effect must be accomplished with particular sl< ill when it becomes an integral part of the design concept, not mere exterior surf~ decoration. Generally, the Committee prefers to see the dominant wall material carried throughout the exterior of the house.

E.x terior doors, windows and other such openings shall be designed to afford a consistent, harmonious appearance. Vertical and horizontal lines shall be related throughout in the window placement to create paneled effects or to provide pleasing designs; windows should not be arbitrarily placed without regard to the total design. Window types and treatments should be uniform throughout the exterior of the house. For example, if wood shutters are used on the front elevation, they should be used on side elevations as well.

All exterior service elements such as air conditioner compressors should be shown on the plans and placed in an innocuous location, preferrably at the rear of the residence in single family areas.

Exterior Materials: Certain materials and finishes aopeer to be more epprcpr iate than others. Materials not listed or new building materials es they al'e developed or become available, will be given special consideration provided their use harmonizes with the community oeveloornent.

Properly used in the design, the following materials would appear to be appropriate:

A. Exterior Rough Hardware: Hot-dipped galvanized, aluminum or stainless steel.

8. Wood: Timbers, logs, boards, board and batten, grooved, textured and patterned plywood, wood siding, rough sawn lumber, wood shingles and shakes. Cypress and cedar are particularly recommended for their natural weathering characteristics.

C. Stucco: To be considered on its individual merit.

D. Masonry: Stone, brick (buff and brown tones), concrete, "split-rock" and decorative concrete block (in limited application). No exposed painted block elevations permitted.

1:. Metals: Factory finished in durable ancxtyzed or baked-en enamel colors.

Muted colors are encouraged over garish colors.

LANDSCAPI NG

WEKIVA COVE's natural setting oHers a unique environment which should be recognized as a framework for development. This natural environment is ecologically fragile and is difficult to replace once it has been disturbed.

The basic objectives of landscaping and revegetation are to preserve the land in its natural state insofar as possible. to enhana the new structures and improvements to strengthen vistas, to direct pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and to screen visually objectionable elements such as service areas, storage yards and utilities from public view. Construction landscaping, as an integral part of the project design, is encouraged by the Committee.

.

Submittal appro",al may be conditioned upon completion of landscaping to reduce the visual height of a tall structure, to provide erosion conrrol, or for other reasons. All new planting should be an extension of the natural VI!Of!t3ticn_

Tree and natural landscape removal shall be kept to an absolute minimum. Ground areas disturbed by grading shall be replanted at the earliest opportunity. or otherwise retained by placement of rip·rap or visually aesthetic material to provide for erosion control.

All areas outside of a building must be improvechnd landscaped in accordance with the approved landscaping plan. 100% of the total tract area must be landscaped with grass, approved ground cover, shrubs, trees and/or accectable alternatives. All areas ·around plantings will be covered with wood mulch. One shade tree of an approved type must be planted for every 2,000 SQuare feet of gross lot area or fraction thereof, such trees to be a minimum of 8·10 feet in height, with a minimum trunk diameter of 2" measured 3' above the ground.

Approved types are:

-~

Mahogany Black Olive Bischofia Sea Grape

Or any reasonable alternative

Such trees must be distributed over the lot area with particular emphasis on the southwest exposure. Existing healthy trees on the site which are more than two inches in diameter, measured at a p.oint three feet above the ground, will be credited toward the above requirement.

A minimum of 25 ornamental shrubs (one gallon size! must be planted on each lot. Type of shrub is subject to approval by the developer.

The type and extent of grassing must be shown on the plans.

Regardless of the existence of a sidewalk, all lawns planted adjacent to any street must ex tend to the pavement line of said street.

Irrigation facilities shall be provided where necessary for landscape maintenance; method shall be shown on the landscape plan.

No existing tree which is more than two inches in diameter. measured at a point three feet above the ground. shall be cut, removed or otherwise disturbed until approval

has been received from the Committee. Builders and contractors shall exercise great care to minimize the damage to root systems. Insofar as possible, trenches shall be located in such a way that no tree roots will be damaged. No fires shall be permitted in tree areas; vehicles shall not be parked or driven near trees during construction opera f ions.

Wherever possible, healthy trees which require removal, shall be transplanted to a suitabte area to be developed as a part of the landscape program.

Where fill is placed around trees which are to remain, to such depth so as to cause possible damage or deterioration of the tree, suitable tree wells, root drains, or other acceptable methods shall be used to guarantee the life of the tree.
