FILING I - RIGDEN FARM RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS

THIS DOCUMENT IS CURRENT AND EFFECTIVE FROM AND AFTER JULY 1,2000 AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. ALL PREVIOUS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS SHALL HEREINAFTER BECOME NULL AND VOID AND THESE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS SHALL PREVAIL.

. The following information is intended for use as an outline only. Please refer to the recorded Covenants for the Rigden Farm Residential Community for additional detail. The Covenants require that all items are to be submitted to the Architectural Design Review Committee, ('IADRC'Y for review and specijic approval.

ARTICLE I

Concept, Intent and Purpose

1. The Rieden Farm Overall Development Plan Concept. The concept is to create within the Rigden Farm Overall Development Plan (ODE!), hereinafter "Rigden Farm" the feel of an old-fashioned rural small town neighborhood. The project is comprised of a mix of single family and multi-family residences, in a multitude of price ranges, along with complementary commercial uses centered around the relocated Johnson farmstead community center formerly located at Drake and Timberline. Residents should be able to walk out their front door and feel like they are stepping back to a simpler, friendlier time. Single and multi-family home conlmunities, with their own identities, will be linked by a network of tree-lined streets and bicycle paths to area parks, retail and service establishments. Detached sidewalks will set back from parked cars, noise and traffic by a tree-lined parkway, inviting pedestrians of all ages to safely walk and bicycle to schools, parks, shopping, and work. Rigden Farm will promote neighborliness in the old-fashioned sense. By design, people will stop to visit with one another at community areas such as the community gardens, the centralized mail facilities or at the refurbished historic Johnson farmstead community center coffee shop. At the community center, kids will play a pick-up game of baseball or soccer, families will picnic together or just share an iced tea and good conversation. Rigden Farm will embrace the best of times gone by, with its commercial areas having the feel of Old Town Fort Collins, and with many Rigden Farm residences featuring garages set back from the street, or sometimes behind the house off an alley. The project's public areas, including the inviting Rigden Farm entry features, the unique architecture of every home and commercial building, as well as the beautifully designed recurring landscape features, shall all be specially designed to promote and preserve the feel of a neighborhood with a rural small town atmosphere.

2. Intent of Rieden Farm Architectural Standards. The intent of the Rigden Farm Architectural Standards is to promote a thoughtful combination of the best of small town planning and neo-traditional architectural design for the benefit, safety, pleasure and convenience of the residents of the community. These standards are generally intended to cover and govern all types of construction at Rigden Farm. The language of these standards and procedures is to address the residential character of the community and the standards are also intended to cover, on a broad brush basis, the intent for all of Rigden Farm. The major emphasis of these standards is to establish a benchmark by which to assure the construction of a traditionally flavored neighborhood. Residences will be varied, with many dwellings having large and gracious front porches and less prominent garages. Multi-family buildings will blend with and enhance the single-family residences. (See attached Exhibits A and B which may change from time to time, for more detailed information.)

3. Purpose of the Architectural Design Review Committee ("ADRC"). The main purpose of the ADRC shall be to ensure that a well-designed review procedure is available to developers, builders, and owners of all types of properties within Rigden Farm. It will ensure that all buildings conform to and embrace the Architectural Design Standards established for Rigden Farm. It shall be the responsibility of the ADRC to accept, review and act upon each formal submittal, (submitted as per Exhibit C hereto) rendering approvals or disapprovals based upon the confornlance of the proposed building or development with these Architectural Design Standards.

The Architectural Design Standards may be amended by the ADRC as it sees fit in order to maintain the Rigden Farm Overall Development Plan Concept.

ARTICLE I1

Submittal Requirements, Procedures, and ADRC Aaproval

I. When Shall ADRC Approval Be Reauired. Within Rigden Farm, all exterior improvek&ts made to single and mul;i-family buildings, all landscaping, andor ancillary uses constructed, altered, andlor modified on any Lot shall be designed and built in accordance with the Architectural Design Standards. Interpretation of the Architectural Design Standards shall be made solely by the ADRC ("ADRC Approval"). In the residential area, if ADRC Approval is required, a complete formal submittal to the ADRC must be approved in writing by the ADRC prior to the applicant's applying to the City of Fort Collins for review or approval, and/or building permit issuance and commencement of construction. In the commercial and multi-family area, ADRC procedures allow for a conceptual review with the ADRC and the City of Fort Collins in the staged approval process. If ADRC Approval is not received prior to any construction, ADRC may, at its sole discretion, require or cause any unapproved structure to be removed without expense or liability to the ADRC, any homeowners' association, or any resident of the Rigden Farm development. In the event the ADRC fails to approve or disapprove the submittal within 30 days of submission of the complete submittal (see Section 3 below) to the ADRC, then such approval shall not be required and shall be deemed to have been given. Commercial buildings shall also require prior written ADRC approval prior to submittal to the City.

2. Preliminary Consultations and Informal Submittals. Although not required, preliminary consultations between the ADRC and the applicant as well as informal submittals are strongly encouraged. The ADRC will review any developer's, builder's or owner's plans, preliminary sketches or conceptual drawings at any stage before the applicant files a formal submittal and without the requirement of a submittal fee. This is intended to help Lot Owners avoid the expense and frustration of possible ADRC disapproval of a formal submittal, requiring multiple re-submittals and project delays.

3. Formal Submittal Package. Any applicant seeking ADRC Approval of intended construction work shall submit to the ADRC complete descriptions of the proposed work which adequately describes the proposed construction. The submittal shall include, but not be limited to, elevations, plans, surveys, sections, specifications, samples of materials and colors, plot plans and landscape plans which show the location of the proposed work. Landscaping plans shall include specifications of all plant materials, landscape work, drainage plans, complete construction plans for any and all proposed buildings (including structural design), elevations sections, specifications, samples of materials and colors of the proposed construction work. The ADRC shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to request additional materials or documents deemed necessary by the ADRC in order to carry out its stated purpose. Until all required materials are received, the application shall be deemed incomplete, and the ADRC may postpone review of the proposed work until the formal submittal is deemed complete in the ADRC's sole judgment.

A formal submittal will not be deemed by the ADRC to be complete unless and until two (2) sets of full construction plans, all drawn on uniform sheet sizes of 24" x 36", and depicting all of the items described within this Section 3 are submitted to the ADRC:
