ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 1

ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION

One of the most important functions of the Association (hereinafter referred to as the

Association) is the preservation of the architectural character of the planned

development of the Orchard Glen Community. The Design Review Committee has

been charged with the administration and enforcement of architectural control and

design review within the community by the authority given to it in Article V of the

Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Reservation of Easements

for Orchard Glen (hereinafter referred to as the CC&Rs). The CC&Rs provide for a

Design Review Committee to be appointed (Article V, Section 5.1) to review all plans

and specifications for any Improvements proposed to be constructed within Orchard

Glen, and to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove such proposed

Improvements. The CC&Rs authorize the Design Review Committee to establish,

amend, repeal and promulgate Design Guidelines. The Design Review Committee will,

in either event, administer the Design Guidelines. The Board also has the right to

remedy violations of the Restrictions (as defined in the CC&Rs), other than nonpayment

of any Assessment, and the cost of such remedy shall be charged to the Owner as a

Special Assessment. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and phrases

used herein shall have the meanings given them in the CC&Rs.

Section 1.1 Intent of the Guidelines:

These guidelines are principally concerned with the physical appearance of the

community environment. No construction, reconstruction, installation, removal or

alteration of any outdoor Improvement on a Lot, including landscaping, grading,

excavation, filling or other alteration to the grade or level of the land, may be

commenced by any Owner without prior Design Review Committee approval.

Owners must obtain Design Committee approval prior to commencing any construction,

installation or alteration of any Improvement in Orchard Glen. There are two levels of

concern in the Design Guidelines: “architectural Improvements,” including, but not

limited to, room additions, patio covers, and gazebos, and “landscape Improvements,”

including, but not limited to, planting, flatwork, pools, spas, walls and fences. All

proposed architectural and landscape Improvements are to be submitted to the Design

Review Committee for approval. All submittals must include a completed Submittal

Checklist along with a completed Design Review Committee Application to be

considered. No work is to start prior to Design Review Committee or Board approval of

the proposed plans.

Section 1.2 Design Guidelines:

The Guidelines contained herein have been developed for the Orchard Glen in

accordance with the CC&Rs in the manner set forth above in the Introduction to this

Article. The Design Guidelines establish general procedural rules and a range of

deposits and fees to cover Improvements that range from minor landscaping

Improvements to major architectural and landscaping Improvements. The Design

Review Committee has been given the authority by the Board to establish on an

individual case basis the exact procedural rules and the exact amount of the fees and

deposits required to be paid by an Owner within the parameters of the guidelines


established by the Design Guidelines based upon the type and the nature of the

proposed improvement for which plans have been submitted.

Section 1.3 Approval:

The Design Review Committee shall approve an application only if it determines that (a)

installation, construction or alterations of the Improvements in the locations proposes

will not be detrimental to the appearance of the Properties as a whole, (b) the

appearance of the proposed Improvements will be in harmony with the existing

Improvements and the overall design theme in the Properties, 9c) installation,

construction or alteration of the proposed Improvements will not detract from the beauty,

wholesomeness and attractiveness of the Properties or the enjoyment of the Properties

by the Owners, (d) maintenance of the proposed Improvements will not become a

burden on the Association, (e) the proposed Improvements are consistent wit the

Governing Documents, and (f) the proposed change does not violate any governing

provision of law. The Design Review Committee may condition its approval of plans

and specifications with such changes it deems appropriate and may require submission

of additional plans and specifications or other information or materials prior to approving

or disapproving plans and specifications. The Design Review Committee shall deliver its

written approval, disapproval or request additional information or material to the

Applicant no later than forty-five (45) days after the Design Review Committee has

received the complete application. In the event the Design Review Committee fails to

approve or disapprove plans and specifications within forty-five days (45) after receipt

by the Design Review Committee of all materials requested, such plans and

specifications shall be deemed approved. This forty-five day (45) period shall begin and

the submittal package will be deemed to be complete when the Design Review

Committee (Article V, Section 5.3.2) deems that all of the requirements of the Design

Guidelines for the approval of plans and specifications have been complied with.

Section 1.4 Inspection:

Failure to complete Improvements in substantial conformance with approved plans and

specifications within the time limitation established for such Improvements in the Design

Guidelines is a violation of CC&Rs which may require disciplinary action as described in

Article V, Section 5.7 of the CC&Rs and Article XII, Section 12.1 of the CC&Rs and

Article VII of the Bylaws. An Owner should complete the Improvements and notify the

Design Review Committee immediately upon the completion of such Improvements

within a timeframe that will ensure that the Improvements will be approved by the

Design Review Committee within the time limitation established by the Design Review

Committee for such Improvements allowing time for the Design Review Committee, or

designated representatives, to make Inspections of completed Improvements, for the

owner to perform any corrective work that may be required in the event that one or more

Notices of Noncompliance are issued by the Design Review Committee.

Owners must also comply with the architectural control requirements of Article V of the

CC&Rs and other provisions of the Association Management Documents. The Design

Guidelines may be more restrictive than the provisions of any other Restrictions,

ordinances or regulations as long as the provisions of the Design Guidelines do not

conflict with the provisions of any other Restrictions, ordinances or regulations. In the


event of any conflict between the provisions of the Design Guidelines and the provisions

of the CC&Rs, the provisions of the CC&Rs shall prevail as set forth in Section 1.2.3 of

the CC&Rs.

Section 1.5 City/County Approval:

Please be aware that approval of the Design Review Committee is for aesthetic

purposes only and that all necessary City of Corona building permits must be obtained

and that all city and county regulations must be adhered to at all times. After the

Committee has approved the plans for aesthetic purposes, the local regulatory agencies

must be contacted to be sure that the plans are in compliance with all building, zoning,

health and other applicable regulations currently in force.

ARTICLE II GENERAL SUBMISSION PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS

The approval of any Improvement by the Design Review Committee does not waive the

necessity of obtaining the required city and county permits. Obtaining a city or county

permit does not waive the need for Design Review Committee approval.

Section 2.1 Application Submittal:

All applications are to be made to Encore Property Management, the managing agent

for the ORCHARD GLEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. Applications may be

mailed or delivered to:

ORCHARD GLEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

C/O Encore Property Management

526 Queensland Circle, Corona, CA 92879

P.O. Box 1117 Corona, CA 92878-1117

Telephone inquiries should be directed to: (951) 279-3934

All requests for Design Review Committee approval must be made on the standard

Orchard Glen Homeowners Association Design Review Committee Application forms

and include a completed copy of the Submittal Checklist and Neighbor Awareness

Form. One set of application materials is provided with these guidelines or may be

obtained from the management company and the model home sales office during

business hours. Faxed copies will not be accepted.

Applications submitted to Design Review Committee members will not be accepted and

will be returned to Applicant for submittal to the management company.

Section 2.2. Required Copies:

Three (3) complete sets of plans, showing the items requested in Article IV of these

Guidelines that apply to the appropriate housing type, must be submitted with the

application.


Section 2.3. Construction Drawings:

Plans must be prepared in accordance with applicable building codes and with clarity

and completeness. It is recommended construction drawings for work involving major

Improvements, or work requiring variances, be submitted at the preliminary drawing

stage for review by both the Design Review Committee and the City of Corona.

Samples of all proposed architectural and hardscape materials must be submitted with

the construction drawings. Photographs and/or brochures are acceptable provided the

color, shape, size and character of the proposed materials is depicted.

Section 2.4. Right of Entry:

If construction work requires the use of Common Area for purposes of transporting labor

and materials, or for the temporary storage of materials for the work, the applicant shall

obtain written permission from the Association for the “Right of Entry” during the course

of construction. A copy of this letter granting permission shall be filed with the Design

Review Committee prior to the commencement of construction.

Section 2.5. Neighbor Awareness:

The intent of this portion of the Architectural Application form is to advise neighbors who

own property adjacent to the proposed work in an attempt to avoid potential conflicts.

This will necessitate obtaining the signature of your neighbor(s) on the application blank

in the spaces provided. The neighbors who must sign the Neighbor Awareness form

must also initial each and every sheet of drawings they are provided for review. Please

contact the management company to determine which neighbors you must obtain a

signature from. In the event of neighbors that are in escrow or uncooperative in

reviewing plans, a good faith effort must be made to obtain the signatures as evidenced

by furnishing copies to the Design Review Committee of a registered letter transmitting

plans and requesting review. The neighbor awareness form is intended as a notification

tool only. By requiring notification, this will promote discussion between homeowners

and hopefully resolve any disputes before the Improvements are submitted for approval.

The approval or disapproval of architectural plans by the Design Review Committee is

not based solely on the homeowner awareness form. No application will be

considered a complete submission until the neighbor awareness condition has

been met to the satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.

Section 2.6. Design Submittal Fees and Design Review Fees:

There is a one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) application review fee payable to Orchard Glen

Community Association that must accompany all submittals. For the initial buyers purchasing

from Centex Homes this fee will be collected during the escrow process. Subsequent buyers

must pay the fee at the time of submittal. Each additional submittal will require the fee to be

paid. There is also a $25.00 Application submittal fee payable to the management company.

The Design Review Committee and/or Board of Directors may amend all submittal fees and

review fees from time to time as the cost of professional consultants change.

Section 2.7. Incomplete Submittals:

To avoid unnecessary delays and expenses, the management company shall not

accept incomplete submittals for consideration. Incomplete submittals shall be returned


to the applicant along with a noting the area of deficiency. Should the Management

Company and/or Design Review Committee accept an incomplete submittal either by

exception or error, the “acceptance” does not deem the submittal complete. The Design

Review Committee may proceed with the review and deny formal approval until a

complete package is submitted.

Section 2.8. Non-Liability:

Plans and Specifications are not approved for (a) engineering design, (b) compliance

with zoning and building ordinances, and other applicable statutes, ordinances or

government rules or regulations, (c) compliance with the requirements of any public

utility, (d) any easement or other agreement, or (e) preservation of any view. By

approving or not approving such plans and specifications neither the Design Review

Committee, the members thereof, the Association, the Owners, the Board, nor

Declarant assume liability or responsibility therefore, or for any defect in any

Improvement constructed from such plans and specifications or for any obstruction or

impairment of view caused or created as the result of any Improvements approved by

the Design Review Committee (Article V, Section 5.3.3 of the CC&Rs).

Section 2.9. Disposition:

Upon approval, disapproval, or in the event the Design Review Committee requests

clarification or additional information, all submissions shall be distributed as follows:

(a) One plan shall be retained by the Design Review Committee as its

working copy.

(b) One approved plan shall be placed in the Association files.

(c) One approved plan shall be returned to the owner who shall be required to

maintain the same at the work site during the course of construction until

such time as a final inspection has been made by the Design Review

Committee or its designated representative.

(d) Disapproved plans or those requiring clarification or additional information

shall be returned to the Owner. Said plans shall be included in

subsequent submittals.

Section 2.10. Time Period:

Each Owner is required to have his rear yard landscaping completed within One Hundred-Eighty

(180) days from the close of escrow date.

Section 2.11. Inspection:

The Design Review Committee or its duly authorized representative may inspect any work for

which approval of plans is required under this Article. (Article V, Section 5.7). When the Work

is complete, the Applicant shall immediately provide the Committee with written notice of

completion on the form prescribed by the Committee. The Design Review Committee’s right to

inspect the Work and notify the responsible Owner of any Noncompliance shall terminate on the


date that is sixty (60) calendar days after the date of delivery of the written notice of completion

(Article V, Section 5.7.1).

Section 2.12. Appeals:

All requests for reconsideration must be in writing and submitted within 30 days

following the final decision of the Design Review Committee. A written request or

written appeal to the Board of Directors to reconsider the complete Application at an

open meeting of the Board will be responded to with notice of the date upon which the

matter will be reconsidered at an open meeting of the Board. (Civil Code 1378.) Notice

of the open meeting shall be given at least 4 days prior to the open meeting. (Civil

Code 1363.05 and 1378.) The open meeting will be the next scheduled regular meeting

of the Board. A decision on the Appeal will be in writing to the homeowner within 30

days after the decision of the Board of Directors. Refer to Article 5, Section 5.10 of the

CC&Rs.

of the CC&Rs and may require modifications or removal of work at the expense of the

Owner.

Section 2.14. Violations:

All residents have the right and the responsibility to bring to the attention of the Design

Review Committee any violations of any of the Design Guidelines or the provisions of

Section 2.15. Amendments:

These Design Guidelines, along with the provisions set forth in the CC&Rs, form the

basis and criteria for evaluation of plans and specifications submitted for review and

approval by the Design Review Committee. Any condition or material not defined in the

Restrictions shall become a matter of discretionary judgment on the part of the Design

Review Committee acting in good faith on behalf of the best interests of the Association

as a whole.

The Design Guidelines may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion

of the Design Review Committee or the Board as set forth in the CC&Rs for any

purpose that includes, but may not be limited to, more fully defining their original

intent of the existing structure with respect to massing and enclosure.

(ii) Other Structures:

Maximum height of the occupiable area of all other structures including

patio structures, trellises and gazebos shall be limited to ten (10) feet in

height. All portions of proposed structures that are decorative and

unoccupiable and exceed the ten foot (10) limit are subject to review by

the Design Review Committee.

(b) Setbacks:

Minimum setback guidelines for the community are established in conformance

with the applicable City of Corona building and zoning codes. These guidelines

affect all Improvements, including without limitation, buildings, out-buildings,

garages, carports, pools, recreation facilities, parking areas, awnings, patio

covers, balconies, stairs and decks. In the case of irregular shaped lots or flat

lots, the Design Review Committee may establish front, side and rear yard

setbacks, consistent with the approved minimum guidelines, to allow alternative

siting of Improvements. Freestanding structures shall occupy the lesser of a

maximum of 10% of rear yard area or 150 square feet provided the City of

Corona Planning Department minimum lot coverage requirement has not already

been met. The rear yard area shall be measured from the back of the house to

the rear and side property lines. All freestanding structures, regardless of size,

require approval from the Design Review Committee.

(c) Chimneys:

No chimney may extend higher than the maximum height as required by the


Building Code of the City of Corona.

(d) Fences and Walls:

Fences, walls and gates shall not be installed, removed, reconstructed, relocated

or modified as to structure, finish or color without the prior written consent of the

Design Review Committee and the City of Corona. The City of Corona’s General

Plan Shall be consulted when new designs are brought before the Design

Review Committee. Double walls constructed side by side shall not be

permitted. (See also Article II, of the CC&Rs). Fences, walls and gates shall not

exceed six (6) feet in height. Retaining walls are subject to the approval of the

Design Review Committee and City of Corona. Such approval shall be as to the

aesthetic appearance of the wall but shall not be deemed to warrant or approve

in any manner the engineering or structural design of the wall. Planter walls

cannot backfill or retain against existing walls. Structural framing and/or

unfinished sides of fences or walls shall not be exposed to any public right of

way, common area or other lot. Side yard return walls shall be masonry with

wood or wrought iron gate, however, all walls, fences and gates must properly

screen any element as required in these guidelines. Wood fences are prohibited.

(1) Side-Yard Walls

The Design Review Committee will approve requests to modify side-yard

walls if the owner first obtains the approval of the adjoining neighbor and

the City of Corona and agrees to construct the wall so that it matches the

existing wall in terms of material, color and height. The existing side yard

walls are slump stone block by Orco Block Co. The color is La Paz. The

specifications shall match the details on the approved fence and wall

plans. The owner must also agree to consult with a professional soils and

structural engineer as to the design of the wall.

(2) Side-Yard Gates

The side yard gates shall be tubular steel to match existing in the tract.

The specification shall match the detail on the approved fence and wall

plans.

(3) Perimeter Walls

The perimeter walls shall be rebuilt to match the existing perimeter walls.

No modifications to the perimeter wall design or location shall be allowed

unless the homeowner gets written permission from the City of Corona

Planning Department and approval from the Design Review Committee.

The Perimeter walls are double-sided split-face Orco block that is grey in

color. The location and design is per the City of Corona’s General Plan as

well as the approved fence and wall plans. The owner must also agree to

consult with a professional soils and structural engineer as to the design of

the wall.

(4) View Fence

No modifications to add additional view fence in lieu of perimeter wall or

side yard wall shall be allowed unless the homeowner gets written


permission from the City of Corona Planning Department, approval of the

adjoining neighbor(s), and approval from the Design Review Committee.

The Design Review Committee will approve requests to modify rear yard

view fence with perimeter wall if the owner first obtains the approval of the

adjoining neighbor(s) and the City of Corona. The new wall must match

the existing wall in terms of material, color and height. The specifications

shall match the details on the approved fence and wall plans. The owner

must also agree to consult with a professional soils and structural

engineer as to the design of the fence.

(e) Planter Walls:

Building materials used to construct decorative planters should blend in and

compliment the style of the home and match any architectural element such as

stone, brick or stucco on the front exterior. These materials are subject to the

Design Review Committee’s approval. Planter walls cannot backfill or retain

against existing walls. All planter walls shall also have an approved drainage

system located near the wall footing.

(f) Antennae:

No radio station or shortwave operators of any kind shall operate from any lot or

dwelling unit. No outside antenna shall be constructed, erected or maintained at

any time on any lot (except as specifically permitted pursuant to the regulations

of the Federal Communications Commission in promulgating the

Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Section 1376 of the California Civil Code)

unless they are contained within a building or underground conduits. Appliances

or installations upon the roof of any residential or accessory structure, except for

solar panels or other appliances installed by the builder, shall not be permitted

unless they are approved by the Design Review Committee. All electrical,

mechanical or other equipment on any roof of any building in the properties, shall

be completely screened, so as not to be visible from any portion of the

properties, the Public Parcel, or any other point outside the properties.

(g) Authorized Antennae:

No Authorized Antenna, as defined in Section 2.10 of the CC&Rs shall be

constructed, erected, altered, placed, or permitted to remain on any Lot without

the prior written approval of the Design Review Committee except as specifically

permitted pursuant to the regulations of the Federal Communications

Commission in promulgating the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Section

1376 of the California Civil Code. The size of the Authorized Antenna must be

compatible in scale with its location. Further, an Authorized Antenna will not be

approved by the Design Review Committee unless the Authorized Antenna is

reasonably screened from view by adjacent Lots and common area with the use

of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials chosen by the owner and

approved by the Design Review Committee. The Authorized Antenna must be

screened by landscape that is, or will be, located solely on that owner’s Lot. Any

Authorized Antenna designed to look like a patio umbrella must also receive

approval under these criteria. Any cables must be painted to match the house so


as to blend in with the surrounding area.

The goal of the Design Review Committee will be to balance the aesthetic

requirements of the community with the reasonable functionality of the

Authorized Antenna. The Committee shall:

(i) Strive to prohibit the location of the Authorized Antenna from the

front yards or portions of the roof that face the front yard.

(ii) Require reasonable screening of the Authorized Antenna from view

by other surrounding properties where the dish is approved for the roof.

Such screening shall be accomplished, for example, by modifying the roof

in order to inset the Authorized Antenna into the existing roofline or by

augmenting the roof structure such that it remains consistent with the

existing form of the roof.

(iii) Require reasonable screening of the Authorized Antenna from view

by surrounding properties where the Authorized Antenna is located in the

yard of a Lot. Such screening shall be accomplished in order of priority

by:

(A) Lowering the grade elevation of the pad supporting the

Authorized Antenna such that the top of the dish shall not exceed

the height of any existing opaque perimeter Lot wall or fence.

(B) Installing landscape materials around the dish to screen the

Authorized Antenna from view.

(C) Installing walls/fences around the dish to screen the

Authorized Antenna from view.

(D) Combination of the above.

(iv) Operate in good faith and in the best interests of the community in

reviewing applications for Authorized Antennae. The Committee shall

require reasonable mitigation of the visibility of the Authorized Antennae in

order to promote aesthetic compatibility of the Authorized Antennae with

the surrounding properties. If it is determined by the Committee that

Authorized Antennae are regulated by City, State, or Federal Agencies

such that these or other Design Guidelines of the ORCHARD GLEN

HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION may be limited in their enforceability, the

adoption of these guidelines shall not be construed as an absolute

obligation of the Association to litigate the enforceability of its Design

Guidelines for Authorized Antennae.

(v) All architectural applications concerning Authorized Antennae shall:

(A) Include plot plans showing the location of the Authorized


Antenna in relation to adjoining structures;

(B) Specify the “Authorized Antenna’s” shape, height, width,

diameter and shall include a photograph or drawing of the

Authorized Antenna; and

(C) Include a landscaping or fence plan showing the type,

locations, elevation and color (in the case of a fence) of trees,

bushes, shrubs, plants, hedges or fences designed for the purpose

of screening the Authorized Antenna.

The Association will determine if the screening chosen by the

homeowner is appropriate by considering the following criteria:

(1) The effect of the “Authorized Antenna’s” location on

neighboring property;

(2) The location and heights of the “Authorized Antenna”

with respect to visibility, color scheme and aesthetic beauty;

(3) Whether the “Authorized Antenna” conforms and is “in

harmony” of external design with the surrounding and

neighboring structures; and

(4) The location of the “Authorized Antenna” in relation to

the topography, surrounding and natural obstructions, grade

and finished ground elevation of the neighboring property.

(h) Door and Window Coverings:

No visible screen door shall be permitted on any front or main entry door. The

Design Review Committee may permit rollaway-type screen doors after review.

Photographs or brochures or proposed rollaway screen doors must be submitted.

No aluminum, or metal awnings or coverings shall be permitted over windows or

patios. Windows shall not be covered with unsightly material such as aluminum

foil, paint, newspaper, etc. White sheets may be used temporarily until

permanent window coverings are installed. (See also Article II, Section 2.12.3 of

the CC&Rs.)

(i) Exterior Lighting:

No exterior lighting shall be placed or maintained upon any lot so as to cause an

unreasonable glare or illumination upon any other private or common lot.

(j) Clotheslines:

Outside clotheslines shall not be erected, unless they are placed and maintained

so as not to be visible from neighboring properties.

(k) Patio Structures, Sun Shades and Gazebos:


All patio structures, sunshades and gazebos shall be constructed according to

the approved beam, rafter and footing specifications of the City of Corona. Patio

covers must be constructed with wood or alumawood (see below regarding solid

alumawood covers) and may have wood, brick, or stucco support columns that

are compatible with the existing dwelling unit materials. Patio covers and patio

cover columns of stucco or wood shall be designed and painted to match the

style and color of the house or the house trim. Solid alumawood covers will

only be considered. Side elevations of shade structure shall not be enclosed in

any manner, except in the case where a wall of a dwelling forms a natural

enclosure to some or all portions of a side elevation. Patio cover may be painted

white or match the stucco color or trim color of the dwelling.

(l) Sundecks:

No sundecks are permitted on or over any portion of a second story roof (e.g..,

crow’s nests etc.). Floor heights for decks are limited to those of the existing

second floor living levels. All sun decks shall be directly accessible from living

unit levels. A sundeck is further defined as a balcony, open porch, etc., which is

attached to the house at second floor level height.

(m) Mailboxes:

The mailboxes will be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association. No

homeowner may change the mailbox they are provided.

(n) Exterior Colors:

Exterior colors of all existing Improvements shall not be changed or altered

without the consent of the Design Review Committee. All colors shall be

consistent with existing colors of the community.

(o) Flagpoles:

The design, material and installation of flagpoles of any kind (including decorative

or seasonal flags) shall be subject to the review and approval of the Design

Review Committee.

(p) Mechanical and Solar Devices:

All mechanical equipment exposed to the exterior, including pumps, heaters, air-

conditioning compressors, and solar devices including collectors, shall be subject

to review and approval of the Design Review Committee. The design of the

proposed solar panel/mechanical device shall be integrated into the roof design

of the building and be flush with the existing roof slope. Frames must be colored

to compliment the roof. Natural aluminum frames are prohibited. All mechanical

equipment exposed to the exterior shall be located in a manner to minimize

visual impact.

(q) Basketball Backboards:

Basketball backboards may not be permanently attached to that portion of the

dwelling or garage that fronts the driveway without the prior approval of the

Design Review Committee (Article II, Section 2.12.1. Portable freestanding


basketball backboards may be used in front yards or driveway areas but must

be brought indoors or out of the view of other Lots when not in use (Article II,

Section 2.12.1 (d)).

(r) Playground Equipment:

Design of all proposed playground equipment shall be subject to height limit

requirements and must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review

Committee.

(s) Paving Materials:

Pool & Spa Guidelines

FOR ORCHARD GLEN


Exhibit B

SWIMMING POOL & SPA – DESIGN & ENGINEERING

The following general geotechnical recommendations are for the design and

construction of pools and spas within the Orchard Glen community. This information

may be given to Landscape Architects and Pool Contractors for the design of your pool.

Homeowners are advised that while soil-related cracking of most exterior concrete slab

and freestanding walls is generally only cosmetic, cracking of pools and spas and the

accompanying leakage can cause damage to adjacent structures as well as outside the

limits of your property. These recommendations are only a guide; a geotechnical

engineer should be consulted to provide specific recommendations for the construction

of your swimming pools and spas.

Particular attention should be given to the design of any pool or spa located close to the

top-of-slope where slope creep is expected. A pressure release valve system should be

included beneath the pool bottom in the design of the pool or spa to protect the pool

from the effects of perched ground water.

The swimming pool and spa shell should be kept outside of the zone supporting building

loads; alternatively, additional loading due to the building structures must be taken into

account for swimming pool and spa design. Monitoring and/or inspection should be

performed for potential distress and/or movement of the building adjacent to a

swimming pool and/or spa due to partial loss of support during excavation. The need

for shoring or support for the building during swimming pool and/or spa excavation

should also be taken into consideration.

No unlined planters should be placed in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool

and/or spa. No elevated planters or additional soils should be placed near the pool and

spa without the review of a geotechnical engineer.

Homeowners should consult and hire a licensed professional engineer and contractor.

These recommendations are general guidelines and should not substitute for specific

design recommendations for your pool and/or spa.
