Section One- Overview A. Introduction It is not the intent of this manual to dictate all aspects of architecture and planning, but

rather to provide direction to residents, designers and builders to produce designs of

proper proportion, materials and scale that together produce homes of the finest

architectural character and design. All homes constructed in PCR must be designed by a

Registered Architect with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) or with a Certified

Professional Building Designer (CPBD) with the American Institute of Building Designers

(AIBD). No homes are to be designed by draftsman or any unlicensed or uncertified

design professional. Design professionals may NOT sign and seal for an unlicensed or

uncertified draftsman’s plans for submission. Doing so will result in an immediate

rejection of the plan and could impact future construction opportunities. The home’s

details must resemble one of the approved architectural styles and incorporate only the

design elements for that style of house. PCR it is not a community of eclectic,

contemporary, or modern architectural styles. Not only should the architectural detail

be represented on the front elevation, but also on all exterior portions of the home. One

should be able to look at the front, sides, and rear of the home, and be able to recognize

that the architecture is similar from all views. The standards, policies and guidelines

outlined in this manual may be clarified, modified or deleted from time to time, if in the

sole opinion of the HOA and ARB, such changes are in the best interest of the

community. In the event of such changes, future editions of this manual will be

published. Any situation out of compliance such as trampolines, play structures, etc.

should be brought into compliance with the ARB Standards prior to closing.

B. The Architectural Review Board The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Pablo Creek Reserve establishes the community’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) and charges that board with the task of administering the processing, evaluation and approval of proposed homes and home site improvements within the community. The ARB’s purpose is to advocate the highest standards of design, material and aesthetic quality for all improvements in the community. This manual is authorized by Section 5.2 of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for the Pablo Creek Reserve Homeowners Association. The ARB will evaluate each plan submitted for its total affect. This evaluation relates to matters of judgment and taste, which cannot be reduced to a simple list of measurable criteria. It is possible, therefore, that a plan submittal might meet the individual criteria delineated in this manual and still not receive approval, if in the sole judgment of the ARB, its overall aesthetic impact to the community is unacceptable. In accordance with Section 5.3 of the CCR’s the ARB may authorize variances from compliance with any Architectural or Landscape Criteria when circumstances support the design elements of the house or topography, natural obstructions, hardships, aesthetic or environmental conditions require the same. Such a variance must be identified on the Architectural or Landscape Plan and stamped/signed approved by the ARB.

In addition, the approval of plans for one home by the ARB should not be construed as creating any obligation on the part of the ARB to approve plans involving similar designs at different locations. C. Items to Be Reviewed The ARB shall review and approve all plans for construction in the community including but not limited to the following improvements:

New home construction, including landscaping

Remodeling or additions to existing homes

Fences, columns, pilasters and walls

Swimming pools, spas, wells, satellite dishes, LP tanks and screened enclosures

Ornamental statues, sculptures only permitted in the back yards.

Fountains, flag poles and play structures

Driveways, walkways and patios

Other improvements visible from the roadway and/or adjacent properties All required approvals from the ARB must be obtained prior to permitting, commencing construction or installation of any improvements listed above. This manual details the procedures established by the ARB for the submittal and approval of proposed improvements.

Section Two- Plan Review Process

A. Submittal and Approval Procedure The Plan approval process of the ARB is a two-step procedure involving a Preliminary review by the PCR Architectural Consultant, followed by an Architectural and Landscape Plan Review with the PCR ARB. A Preliminary floor Plan, site plan and exterior elevation must be provided to PCR’s Architectural Consultant for concept approval prior to submitting the formal working drawings from an AIA/AIBD Professional stamped and signed Architectural Design to the ARB for review. The DWS File Area Calculation must be provided to ARB to confirm Square Footage of heated and cooled space. All plans must be designed specifically for the builder’s or lot owner’s lot. Stock plans not specifically designed for the individual lot will not be reviewed. The design professional should first choose one of the approved architectural styles and then as the floor plans are being developed, they should be cognizant of how each floor plan change will affect the overall exterior design of the home. Designing a floor plan first with no regard to the façade and then adding the exterior façade after the floor plan is complete is not the accepted way to design a home in PCR. A submission of the preliminary floor plan, site plan, and pertinent exterior elevations to the ARB Consultant is required before the ARB will consider reviewing construction drawings. Any plans that do not follow these guidelines are subject to rejection from the ARB. Once a submittal is deemed complete and scheduled for review, the ARB will approve or disapprove (with written comments) thirty (30) business days of the review at the regular ARB meeting. No permitting, site clearing, signage, material deliveries or construction activity of any kind may begin without prior Stamped Plan Approval by the ARB. All correspondence, plan submittals, material samples and other required information should be submitted to the ARB at the following address:

Pablo Creek Reserve ARB

c/o Marsh Landing Management 4200 Marsh Landing Blvd Suite 200

Jacksonville Beach, FL 30050

B. Preliminary Architectural and Landscape Plan Review Submittal The ARB Architectural Design Consultant will review the Preliminary Architectural Plan drawings for concept approval and an ARB Board Member will review the Landscape Plans. The ARB Design Professional will present the Final Plans Stamped and Signed AIA/AIBD Plans to the ARB Board Members when all required documents are received, to include: Architectural, Landscape and Architectural Features Plans, samples for review, forms and checks (Construction Deposit & Plan Review Fee). All required information must be submitted to BCM Services by 2:00 PM the Wednesday before the next scheduled ARB Meeting.

Section Three- Architectural and Planning Design Standards

A. Site Planning Building Setbacks/Envelopes To insure the preservation of the desired privacy between homes and definition of individual home sites, all proposed building structures must be located within the established building envelope as described herein based upon the lot type and setting. Exceptions may be approved by the ARB only in circumstances critical to achieve a more desirable architectural relationship and one that does not negatively affect adjacent properties. Minimum Building Setbacks for Each Home site Are As Follows: Estate Home sites Cottage Home sites Front Setback 50’ Front Setback 30’ Side Setback 20’ (30’ for corner lots) Side Setback 10’ (15’ for corner lots) Rear Setback 20’ Rear Setback 10’ (20’ at cross-lake views) Easements Drainage, utility, conservation and other types of easements may in some cases be located on portions of a home site. Such an easement may affect site work, positioning of the home, construction of fences and installation of landscape material. Permanent structures including patio decks and swimming pools cannot be constructed within these easements. No improvements are permitted within these easements, which would interfere with vehicular traffic or prevent maintenance activities. All such easements are shown on the recorded plat for the community. The site plan submittal must reflect any easements located on the home site. Outbuildings/Garages Construction of outbuildings is encouraged to vary the massing of the residence and to create architectural interest. Outbuildings should be designed to complement the architecture of the principal building and my be used as separate living quarters, guest home, garage, garden/potting shed, pool baths home, artist studio, etc. Covered walkways (including screened walls), trellises, etc. may connect each outbuilding. Screened Enclosures Screened rooms or pool enclosures should relate to the architectural elements of the home and not extend beyond the home’s exterior sidewall planes. The color of the screen fabric and aluminum frames should be black, charcoal or dark bronze. Additional landscaping will be required for screened enclosures to minimize the visual impact to adjacent homes and cross-lake views. No screened enclosure can be installed over the building restriction line on lake lots. Swimming Pools/Spas Swimming pools and spas should be located to the rear of the principle building or within a concealed courtyard. Appropriate barriers around the pool must be installed and maintained in accordance with applicable building codes and requirements. Swimming

Page 12: Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards ......Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards and Procedures Manual Effective May 9, 2018 Table of Contents

12

pool equipment, pumps, heaters or other mechanical equipment must be sited appropriately on a service pad and screened behind a 100% opaque barrier at the time of installation. Refer to the Hardscape Section of this Manual for appropriate screen walls and visual barriers. Parking Parking should be provided on each home site for guests or additional vehicles. At minimum, parking for two vehicles in addition to those intended for the garage should be provided. For Cottage Homes, this parking may be accommodated within the driveway lanes. Estate Homes should provide the additional parking requirement outside of the driveway lanes, and each additional vehicle should be able to exit the property without requiring the driver to back down the driveway. When possible, auto- courts defined by courtyard walls and columns engaged with the residential building structures are desirable to create additional parking. Parking solutions should be discreet, and be located with consideration for adjacent residences and views from adjacent roadways. Parking of recreational vehicles, trailers and boats, travel trailers, campers, personal watercraft or similar vehicles should be within an approved garage structure – this includes covered vehicles. Prior approval is required to park recreational vehicle for no more than three days in a resident’s driveway. No parking of Recreational Vehicles of any type on the streets. No overnight parking of any vehicles on the street. During daylight hours vehicles must be parked with the flow of traffic. No parking side by side on both sides of a street as it blocks larger delivery and trash trucks. Existing Trees- Removal and Preservation Criteria The clearing of mature trees on home sites should be limited to areas required to accommodate the footprint of the structure and its customary accessories, such as open yard areas and those limited areas required to permit utility services and driveways. Where trees are to be preserved, care should be taken to prevent unnecessary disruption of the root systems. Protective tree barriers should be installed prior to commencing construction for all mature trees or stands of trees to be preserved. Trees between the curb and sidewalk will not be removed without ARB Approval. B. Architectural Standards: Preferred Architectural Themes The overall architectural vision for Pablo Creek Reserve has been established to create a

community embodying a “timeless” quality and recognizable Architecture Styles. Pablo

Creek Reserve is not a community of eclectic, contemporary, or modern architectural

styles. There are numerous architectural styles that are permitted and encouraged

Page 13: Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards ......Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards and Procedures Manual Effective May 9, 2018 Table of Contents

13

(See Architectural Designs below). Such a quality will be realized through a variety of

classical and regional architectural styles, with authentic detailing elements and use of

high quality materials.

The appropriate architectural elements which give homes their character are defined within the Pablo Creek Reserve Design Book. Construction must be specific to the Architectural Designs Approved for PCR and must incorporate only those design elements for that specific architectural style. C. Architectural Designs:

• European Old World The European Old World vernacular reflects an architectural heritage inspired by the finest homes and styles based on European roots. Ranging from grand estates to unique cottages, appropriate European Old World homes may reflect the architectural styles of Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, Italianate, Tuscan, European, French Country and English Tudor • Georgian/ Federal Among the most formal homes found in the South, the Georgian and Federal style exemplify neo-classical architecture, which was predominant at the turn of the century. These homes are two story, typically brick, occasionally wood clapboard structures, side-gabled roofed and symmetrical around the center front door. Paneled doors, normally capped by an elaborate decorative crown supported by decorative pilaster columns, and rows of smaller rectangular windows typify these homes. • Farm home The Farm home vernacular reflects a rural, casual style characterized by interaction between interior and exterior spaces. Asymmetrical two-story building residences, broad raised wrap- around porches, horizontal siding with wooden railings and posts, and narrow windows with shutters characterize this style. Garages are often in outbuildings or separate structures connected by a drive though portico. • Craftsman Following the Victorian Era, Craftsman architecture describes a comfortable, fashionable dwelling defined by increasing simplicity in materials. Also known as the Arts and Crafts Style, Shingle Style or Stick Style, the Craftsman Style is appropriate for both large estates and cottage homes. Gable roofs, exposed rafters and wooden brackets, wooden columns with brick or stone bases, and exposed porch structures are hallmarks of this style. • Coastal Colonial Coastal Colonial homes draw their inspiration from the casual elegance of the Coastal South. Generally elevated off-grade and asymmetrical in design, these homes reflect a hybrid style including design elements found in historic St. Augustine, Key West and Carolina Coast. Broad verandas, wood columns and railings, broken-pitch hip roofs and dormers predominate and define this style.

Other Acceptable Designs

French country, French provincial, Tudor revival, Chateau, Cape Cod, Colonial, Dutch Colonial, Georgian Colonial, Federal Colonial, Greek Revival (Plantation), Mediterranean (Mizner), Spanish colonial, Tuscan, Italianate, Italian villa, Shingle style, craftsman, low country, Hamptons, Anglo and Dutch Caribbean, European influenced Neo Classical styles and some Coastal styles.

Prohibited Architectural Design While diversity and creativity in the design of the homes at Pablo Creek Reserve is encouraged, certain architectural styles are not considered appropriate. These include, but are not limited to, ultra-contemporary and postmodern designs such as International Revival, Miesian, and Art Deco; as well as traditional designs such as Cracker, A-frame, Adobe or Cabin design styles. Building Heights Building height limitations have been established to create an appropriate relationship between residences and to suitably reflect the selected architectural style. Maximum building height measurements will extend from the finish grade of improved home sites to the peak of the highest ridge of the primary building structure. Chimneys, cupolas or other similar non-habitable architectural features are typically not subject to compliance with stated height limitations. Where multiple buildings are proposed on a home site, the principle building must be clearly taller than the outbuildings. Cottage Homes are subject to a maximum height of thirty-five feet. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis only on specific homes where the appropriate architectural style dictates an unusually steep roof pitch. Estate Homes are subject to a maximum height of forty- five feet. Outbuildings should not exceed thirty- five feet in height, unless specifically approved by the ARB. Home Size Minimum home sizes have been established to ensure the creation of homes of substance and lasting value. For the purpose of establishing a home’s minimum size, the total heated and cooled square footage should be calculated. Cottage Homes should be a minimum of 3,000 square feet of heated and cooled area, and maximum of 5,000 square feet unless specifically approved be the ARB. Estate Homes should be a minimum of 5,000 square feet of heated and cooled area. No maximum size exists for Estate Homes. Exterior Materials/Elevation Minimum elevation must be a minimum of three courses. Exterior elevations and related materials, finishes and colors should be described on drawings submitted for approval by the ARB as part of the plan review. Approval of exterior materials and elevations will consider mass and scale of materials, textures, colors and finishes. Continuity between primary design elements and secondary surface treatments (placement and detail design of windows, doors and openings) and roofing materials and pitches are important. The massing of the residence should be organized as a whole, and should not appear as a mixture of unrelated forms. Design and detailing should be compatible with the desired architectural style and expected level of quality for the community. Samples of specific material and color selections must be submitted with the ARB Review documents. The

following materials are “permitted” or “not permitted” subject to review by the ARB of the overall design. Other materials that are not listed below will be considered on their own merit by the ARB. Permitted Exterior Materials Include: Stucco- Cement-based finish (5/8” or greater), or Cementitious finish (cement- based or synthetic finish less than 5/8”) smooth and lightly textured finishes are permitted to complement the architectural style. Other textures may be considered based on architectural style. Brick (natural) - Wood mold or tumbled brick are permitted for exterior elevations subject to their suitability with the selected architectural style and overall design approval. Other brick textures will be evaluated on their own merit by the ARB. Modular (7 5/8” W X 2 ¼” H x 3- ½” D and standard 8” W x 2 ¼” H x 3-1/2” D) brick sizes are permitted. Other sizes will be evaluated on their own merit by the ARB, but are subject to disapproval. Painting of brick exterior may be considered based an architectural style. Stone- (natural, manufactured or cast)- Subject to the approval of specific material samples and color selections by the ARB, natural stone and quality manufactured or cast stone products are permitted for exterior wall applications and wainscoting, window sills and trim, lintels and keystones, door trim and surrounds, water tables, corner quoins and pilasters. Stone is also permitted for chimneys, privacy walls, service fences and planters. Where used, stone must be used in like fashion on all exterior elevations. Fiber-cement Lap Siding or Shingles- Fiber- cement siding or cedar shingle siding are permitted for specific architectural styles for use in exterior wall finishes, bay or box windows, fasciae, dormers, cupolas and gable ends. Wall Plates The minimum wall plate heights for Cottage Homes should be as follows: Cottage Homes

10’- 0” in main living areas on first floor

Wall plate heights in secondary bedrooms must be 9’- 0” minimum.

The second floor wall plate height must be no less than 9’- 0”.

Garages for Cottage Homes must have a minimum plate height of 8’- 0”. Estate Homes

Minimum wall plate heights for Estate Homes should be 10’- 0” in main living areas on the 1st floor.

Roofs/Fascia and Soffit Roof structures may be conventionally framed or constructed of pre-fabricated trusses.

Except for flared eaves, the minimum pitch for 1 story homes on cottage lots is 6/12 for

primary roof structures and should reflect the selected architectural style for the home.

For secondary elements or with broken roof pitches, the minimum pitch may be lower

with the approval of the ARB, provided such elements are used on a limited basis and are

considered essential to the overall character of the home. Flat roofs with a parapet may

be approved if it is a part of an integral design element such as an entry portico, covered

porch or a second floor balcony extending over a porch or living space below. Visor roofs

or roof extensions may be used above windows or balconies. Eave brackets should be

included where appropriate. Acceptable roof materials for consideration include

integrally colored concrete, flat tile, barrel tile, “S” tile, roll tile, slate tile and standing

Shutters Decorative shutters are used primarily for ornamental embellishments and are not certified as hurricane shutters (suitable for use in high wind zones.) Two ornamental shutter styles are permitted for permanent installation on a residence, categorized as Colonial (side hinged) or Bermuda (top hinged.) Louver, panel and batten shutter styles are permitted, based upon the approval of the overall architectural design and color scheme of the house. Painted aluminum, polyvinyl, wood or formed synthetics are permitted materials. Each ornamental shutter should have the appearance of a fully operable shutter, with material, installation and color defined for review by the ARB. Shutters should have traditional operable hardware (offset hinges and dog ears.) The approval for the permanent installation of hurricane shutters is required prior to installation. The submittal for ARB approval should include installation details, product photos and color samples. Entry/Garage Doors Front entry doors must be 8’-0” in height minimum. Specialty treatments are encouraged in accordance with the selected architectural design style. Such treatments may include transoms, glass side lights, and surrounds of wood, stucco, stone, brick, or formed synthetics. Entry doors must reinforce the selected character of the home, and may be composed of glass, wood, fiberglass or metal. Garage doors should generally be provided separately for each parking bay, and be sized 8’-0” wide by 7’-0” tall (8’-0” tall for side or courtyard loaded garages). Other garage door configurations may be considered on their merit in individual circumstances. Each garage door must be operated by an automatic remote control opening system. Doors must be decorative, and in a style complimentary to the architecture of the residence. Porches/Columns Porches are encouraged as appropriate within the selected architectural style to articulate the design of the residence and to create exterior living spaces. Front porches should be a minimum depth of 8’- 0”, and should be constructed of paving material appropriate with the design of the home or of wood in an off- grade condition. Porches and front entries should be a minimum of 16” or three steps (risers) above adjacent finish grade. Covered porches should be located within the appropriate building envelope and must either be designed with a foundation wall on all sides, or off grade with louver or lattice detail to the ground, based upon the selected architectural style of the residence. The number, scale and style of columns should be consistent with the architectural theme and massing of the structure. The following exterior materials are acceptable: cast stone, wood, reinforced concrete or concrete block (with stucco, brick and stone.) Where appropriate, columns may be constructed on column bases of stone or brick. Alternate materials will be considered on a case by case basis. Fireplaces/Chimneys The following types of fireplaces are acceptable: masonry firebox and flue (wood burning or gas), prefabricated masonry firebox and flue (wood burning or gas), prefabricated metal firebox and flue (wood burning or gas), or prefabricated metal firebox with direct vent (gas) or vent free fireboxes.

Ridge Vents/Vent Stacks/Plumbing Unless contrary to applicable building codes and municipal regulations, all vent stacks should not exceed 12” in height. Wherever possible, ridge vents or vent stacks should be located on roof slopes concealed from adjacent roadways. Ridge vents, plumbing and vent stacks should be painted to blend with the roof color, except for copper which may remain unfinished. D. Hardscape Guidelines Entry Features/Monuments The entry into each home site is to be distinctive and represent the quality and architectural character of the home. For streetscape enhancement, it is desirable to create a “threshold” at the driveway access to the home site through the complimentary use of hardscape, landscape, and fencing elements. Pilasters and gates may be used to identify and enhance the entry to the property and provide focused glimpses of the home beyond. Drive entries to each home site, including corner home sites, must originate only from the fronting street. Sidewalks All required sidewalks will be built as follows:

5’ wide in width

Broom swept finish

6” wide troweled continuous edges along the entire length and at intermittent expansion joints

Page 19: Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards ......Pablo Creek Reserve Architectural Review Board Standards and Procedures Manual Effective May 9, 2018 Table of Contents

19

The inside edge of the sidewalk will be set back at and run parallel to the property line, and the outside edge will run 5’ towards the street which is in the right of way.

Entry Pilaster/Columns Individual vehicular entry gates, pedestrian scale gates, entry portals and front courtyards that complement the architectural style of the primary residence and the streetscape are encouraged. Pilasters and columns should be made of stone, masonry, stucco or other materials which harmonize with the architecture, materials, colors and forms of the primary residence. Entry column and pilaster design and materials should integrate with the architectural theme of the home and landscape elements and be included in site and architectural plans submitted to the ARB. Street Address Plaques Street address plaques may be placed on an entry monument, column or pilaster. The style of the proposed plaque should complement the architectural style of the home and exterior fixtures, and be placed so as to be clearly viewed from the street. The location and design of any street address plaques or numbers should be submitted as part of the plan package for the ARB. No stick on numbers are permitted. Driveways/Garages Driveways should access the property along the front of the property line only. Three types of garages are permitted: front entry, courtyard and side entry. All homes must have three car garages as a minimum. Minimum 3-car garage on all properties must be either one double bay min. 16 ft. wide, plus one 8-ft. wide bay or three 8-ft. bays totaling a min. of 600 sq.ft. At the curb, driveways should be a single lane width, typically not to exceed 14’- 0”, widening nearer the building envelope to provide garage and overflow parking access as required. Front entry garages may only be used on Cottage Home sites and should not include more than two bays facing the street on which the garage is located. The face of the garage doors must be located a minimum of five feet behind the forward most wall plane of the residence. Front entry garages will require landscaping to soften the view of the garage from the roadway. Side entry driveways should not be closer than 3’- 0” to the side property line to allow a row of shrubs to be installed to screen the view of the garage door from the adjacent property. Cottage Home driveways should be constructed entirely of a brick, stone or concrete paver material appropriate and complimentary to the selected architectural style of the residence. Estate Home driveways should be constructed of brick, stone or concrete paver material extending from the back of the curb to the edge of the front lot line (right-of-way.) Beyond the right-of-way, driveways, sidewalks and parking areas should be constructed of at least 50% brick, stone or concrete pavers, with the balance consisting of salted finish or other approved decorative concrete finish with paver borders and periodic paver banding. Driveway design should be reflected on design drawings for review by the ARB. Stamped concrete, asphalt, crushed rock, shell or gray broom finished concrete are not permitted unless approved by the ARB.

Service Courts Every house should have service courts for storage of trash receptacles, lawn care equipment, LP tanks, utility meters, HVAC and pool equipment, well heads, generators or any other equipment to be stored outside. Service courts must be screened by a 54” high (above slab) wall consistent in color and material with the exterior wall of the house. Any other mechanical equipment such as pool pumps, filters and/or heaters should be adequately screened from view with a 100% opaque barrier including approved fencing and/or landscape material. If the Service Wall opening is visible from the adjacent property front entry a Door/Gate will be required. Trash Cans must be placed at the curb the night before service pickup and returned to the Service Courts or Garage after pick up. Trash Cans must always be stored behind either a Service Court or inside the Garage not visible from Street, Adjacent Property or Lake Views. Mailboxes Mailboxes will be required at each home site and must conform to a standard design, color, size, lettering, post detail and manufacturer as follows:

Manufacturer: Mel Northey Co.

Model: Williamsburg Box with #5523B base [email protected]

(P) 1 (800) 828- 0302 (F) 1 (281) 445-7456

Optional replacement only mailbox black with gold numbers http://www.mailboxandbeyond.com/Mailboxes/PostMount/traditional-post-

mount.html

Antennas/Satellite Dishes One satellite dish or antenna (less than 40” in diameter) may be installed in a location that is shielded from adjacent roadways and located immediately behind the residence. A landscape screen will be required to adequately provide a visual buffer from adjacent properties and/or Roadways. A site plan showing the proposed location of the dish and associate landscape buffer must be submitted to the ARB for approval prior to installation. Flagpoles Flagpoles may not be installed in the ground or on the exterior wall of any house without prior ARB approval and must meet the HOA Florida Statutes. Recreational Equipment The design and planning of recreational opportunities for children and youth at Pablo Creek Reserve is considered an essential contributor to a high quality of life. Recreational equipment, depending upon the type, size and material may be considered counterproductive to the creation of a distinctive community with lasting value. To this end, these guidelines are intended to balance the need for play equipment with the potential impact on street view, adjacent home sites, community trails and open spaces.

21

The location of basketball goals will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the ARB, with the preferred location behind the forward most wall plane of the residence. All basketball goals should have clear glass-type backboards and black pole support. Temporary or portable equipment should be removed when not in use and stored out of view from streets and adjacent home sites. Basketball goals are not permitted to be attached to any portion of a building structure. Additional landscape planting will be required to screen the view of basketball goals from the roadway or adjacent properties. Play structures such as playhouses, swing sets and play complexes should be constructed of cedar or redwood lumber or painted a dark color to blend with the landscape. Play structure Canopy, Slide and Swing Seats must be green, black or brown to blend in with the landscape (no red, blue, yellow colors permitted). Play structures must be screened from view of adjacent properties, street and lake with non-deciduous shrubs/trees that hide the structure within 12 months. Approval will be on a case-by-case basis considering the view from the street, adjacent properties and lakes. Play Structures may be permitted on Lake Home Sites on the side of the home only, not in the backyard. No portion of a play structure may be higher than 9’- 0” above grade. Product photos and color swatches should be submitted to the ARB. Approval of the type, color and location of each play structure will be on a case-by-case basis considering the view of such a structure from adjacent properties and roadways. Trampoline requests must be submitted to the ARB for consideration, to include: color, location/diagram, dimensions and photo. Approval will be on a case-by-case basis considering the view from the street, adjacent properties and lakes. Trampolines must be green, black or brown to blend in with landscape (no red, blue, yellow colors permitted). Trampolines must be screened from view of adjacent properties, street and lake with non-deciduous shrubs/trees that must completely obscure the view of the trampoline within 12 months. This includes screening the safety net. Tree houses are not permitted on any home site. Other recreational equipment including croquet wickets, horseshoe pits, volleyball, tennis and badminton nets, golf driving nets, baseball nets, soccer nets, skateboard ramps, and plastic playhouses, baby plastic pools, and above ground pools are not permitted as permanent improvements on any home site, and must be moved out of view when not in use. Swings, hammocks, etc. that are attached to yard trees must not be visible from the street or lake views. E. Fencing Standards The use of fencing at the perimeter of the home site to create a sense of privacy, provide enclosure for pets and to establish a requisite pool safety barrier is permitted in accordance with the following standards. Wherever possible, the use of landscape plantings, berms and land forms, with limited privacy walls are encouraged in lieu of full perimeter fencing. Wherever fences are utilized, they should conform to an open-picket architectural design consisting of black or dark bronze wrought iron or high quality aluminum. Perimeter fencing should be a maximum of 4’- 0” high unless specifically approved by the ARB. If neighboring fences are on/near the property line, they must be the same height, type and attached to the neighbor’s fence. Other designs may be permitted, provided they are described in approval drawings submitted to the ARB. Fence types and locations will be reviewed on a case by case basis, considering views from adjacent home sites and open spaces.

Locations Perimeter fencing is permitted for the purpose of establishing definition, providing a swimming pool barrier and to enclose small children and pets. Where constructed as a perimeter treatment, fences should be constructed no nearer that 5’- 0” from the side yard property line. Use of intermediate ornamental columns, pilasters or other appropriate treatments which complement the architectural character of the residence, should be incorporated into perimeter fence treatments. Between the side property line and perimeter fence, an irrigated landscape hedge is required to reduce maintenance requirements and to establish a reasonable vegetative buffer from the adjacent home site. Fencing is not permitted to extend closer than 20 feet from the front building facade, unless specifically part of an auto court. Fences should not impede drainage, and are subject to limitations and restrictions of established utility, access or drainage easements. Perimeter fencing adjacent to lakes should extend across the rear lot line (top of lake bank) and not to the water’s edge. Dog Runs/Pet Fencing The use of fences to create a dog run is not permitted on any home site. Electronic underground fencing (invisible fencing) to control pets is encouraged as an alternative to perimeter fencing. F. Landscape Guidelines Overview Pablo Creek Reserve is located on a unique site comprised of sandy ridges, pine flatlands and pristine wetland preserves. It is the goal of these landscape guidelines to effectively enhance and protect the value of the community and the lifestyle of the residents through quality control of landscape design and material specification. In general, the recommended design character for Pablo Creek Reserve should emphasize a natural appearance rather than formal, rigid plantings. All landscape material should be from nursery grown plant stock and be free from disease, pests and defects. Trees and shrubs should be of quality consistent with Florida #1 specifications. All hardscape changes regardless of location on the property must be approved by ARB before work is to commence. ARB approval is required when using river stones or natural rock as they must be used as accents in combination with mulch in the landscape design. Florida friendly landscape is encouraged. Easement and street trees must not be removed or trimmed by owner without ARB approval.

beds should utilize pop- up spray heads, individual trees should be provided bubblers, and sodded areas should utilize rotor heads. Drip irrigation may be utilized in tight areas adjacent to building walls or planters. Irrigation systems are not permitted from lakes. Well System The only type of well approved is a deep well, sometimes referred to as an Artesian Well. Shallow wells 70 to 150 deep are not considered Deep Wells by the ARB as the iron can cause rust on sidewalks and homes. Regardless of the well depth homeowners are responsible for any rust damage as a result of their well. Requests to install a well should be included on the Landscape Plan, identifying the location and screening required to shield the equipment from view. The well head, pressure tank and any visible PVC must be painted a Flat Black or Green to blend into the surrounding area. Additionally landscape will be required to screen the pressure tank and well head.
