Flying M Ranch Design Guidelines
December 9, 2022
Design Guidelines (“Guidelines”) have been prepared to provide a framework to
guide the design and construction of all improvements in Flying M Ranch. The
purpose of these Guidelines is to enhance the aesthetic experience in Flying M
Ranch, promote harmonious design and to protect and enhance property values.
Development within Flying M Ranch shall conform with these Guidelines and all
applicable approvals issued for the Flying M Ranch Subdivision by the Board of
County Commissioners for Garfield County, Colorado. The Design Review Board
(“DRB”) of The Flying M Ranch Property Owners Association, Inc. (“Association”)
has adopted these Guidelines to be the General Development Guidelines as
referred to in, and in accordance with, the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions,
Restrictions and Easements for the Flying M Ranch Subdivision. The DRB’s role
is to provide assistance to all property owners and their chosen design
professionals and to ensure that the design process is a smooth and satisfying
experience. These Guidelines may be amended from time to time by the DRB and
it is the responsibility of buyers or their representatives to obtain and review a copy
of the most recently revised Guidelines. Where there are conflicts between these
Guidelines and Garfield County codes and approvals, the most restrictive will
govern. Where there are conflicts between these Guidelines and the Covenants,
the Covenants will govern.
1. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
The design philosophy at Flying M Ranch is to create a contemporary neighborhood based
upon the traditional design vocabulary of Garfield County and other western communities.
Within that architectural focus, a diversity of architectural designs and creativity will be
encouraged. While these Guidelines do not dictate one specific architectural style, all
buildings should share a number of common design elements. These design elements include
site design solutions based upon lot sizes, grades, etc., scale of buildings, roof forms,
consideration of surrounding architecture, and compatible materials and colors.
2. SITE AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The goal of the site and landscape design is to assure the sensitive integration of a
building with its site and surroundings.
a. BUILDING SITE
Buildings and improvements should be sited and designed as an integral
element of the lot and should adapt to adjacent lot conditions.
b. GRADING
Site grading should integrate the structure, the site and adjacent lots.
Grading should be designed as a combination of cuts and fills designed as
an extension of existing topography on the site and retaining walls may be
necessary. Re-graded slopes shall not exceed 2:1. Berms shall not exceed
5 feet in height nor exceed a 2:1 grade.
3
3
c. RETAINlNG WALLS, LANDSCAPE WALLS AND FENCES
i. When feasible, retaining and landscape walls should be designed
as an extension of the building or as an extension of the natural
landscape.
ii. The top and ends of walls should be designed to blend with natural
contours to visually tie the wall to the surrounding landforms. Walls
are to be constructed of boulders or laid stone, logs, timbers or
interlocking blocks. Railroad ties are not acceptable for use as
landscape or retaining wall materials.
iii. Fence materials shall be compatible with materials used on the
building. Chain link, aluminum or vinyl-fencing materials are not
permitted.
iv. Fencing will be restricted throughout Flying M Ranch to facilitate
wildlife movements, optimize habitat availability, and reduce wildlife
mortality.
v. Fencing within utility easements is discouraged. Utility companies
are not responsible for the restoration or repair of any fence
constructed within a utility easement.
vi. All fences require Design Review approval prior to construction.
d. DRAINAGE
Grading and drainage for conveyance of storm water and debris flow away
from structures on each lot shall be the responsibility of the lot Owner,
including the construction of debris flow mitigation structures as necessary
to allow for conveyance of storm water and debris flow through such
Owner’s lot to an appropriate street drainage swale or culvert. Drainage
solutions should not cross property lines.
e. DRIVEWAYS AND GARAGES
i. Driveway grades must not exceed 12%. Driveways must be
surfaced and may be constructed of asphalt, concrete, stone
pavers or brick.
ii. The minimum size for a parking space is 9 feet x 18 feet.
iii. Garage doors are not intended to dominate the streetscapes. When
garage doors face the street, garage doors must be set back a
minimum of 10 feet from the front of the building or the entry porch
projection.
f. OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
i. Outdoor living spaces can provide an effective transition between
a building and the outdoors and also reinforce the visual connection
of the structure and the landscape.
4
4
ii. Terraces, verandas, patios, porches courtyards, paths, walkways
and other similar on- grade features should be an integral element
of the design of the building and the landscape by blending with
existing topography. Materials should be consistent with materials
used on the building.
g. LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND MATERIALS
i. The goal of landscape design is to reinforce the integration of
structures and related improvements with the setting of the lot and
to create a pleasant streetscape. Landscape plans shall address
the following issues: appropriateness of plant material to this
climate, the scale of the structure, public vs. private areas, and long
term maintenance.
ii. Plant materials should be indigenous to the surrounding area. A list
of RECOMMENDED PLANT MATERIALS is attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A.
iii. Landscape plans should address the public face of the front and
side yards as well as the private areas of the back yard. The front
yard landscape plan should create a welcoming entrance to the
property. A variety of tree sizes should be used in landscaping.
iv. Coniferous trees should average at least eight (8) feet in height and
deciduous trees shall have trunks with a minimum measurement of
at least two and one half (2.5) inches as measured by a caliper at
a height of three feet from the ground. The balance of the front yard
shall be planted with low water use grasses, ground covers, or
cobble mulch. The additional use of low water use flower and shrub
beds is encouraged. Avoid planting vegetation that will encroach on
the public sidewalk or obscure views at driveway entrances. The
back yard or private areas can contrast to the front uses. Vegetation
can be used to screen utility areas on a structure or to create private
outdoor spaces.
v. Landscape plantings within utility easements should be minimized.
Utility companies are not responsible for the restoration of
landscaping of any kind within a utility easement.
h. LIGHTING
i. Flying M Ranch exterior lighting should be minimal, and used only
to provide a safe, secure and easily identified community.
ii. Where outdoor lighting is required, fixtures shall be shielded so that
no light source is directly visible from the street or neighboring
homes – down lighting is required.
iii. Exterior lighting shall be designed to create pools of light rather than
continuous lighting.
iv. Light standards should be of a low profile design using wood, metal
or stone.
5
5
v. Lights which produce a warm effect, rather than a cool effect, must
be used.
vi. All lighting requires Design Review approval prior to construction
and must comply with Garfield County Lighting Standards.
i. EASEMENTS, UTILITIES, SERVICE AREAS AND SATELLITE DISHES
i. Easements have been provided throughout Flying M Ranch to
allow for the installation and maintenance of utilities. All utility lines
to serve a structure shall be located underground. All utility meters
shall be brought to the building foundation.
ii. Satellite dishes are not permitted.
iii. Roof-mounted mechanical equipment, such as evaporative coolers
are to be located on roof surfaces that do not front streets or
roadways, and must be painted to match roofing.
iv. Utility meters, irrigation controls, phone and cable connections, air
conditioners etc. must be screened from view by structure or
vegetation, or be painted or stained to match their backgrounds.
j. SIGNS
i. Temporary signs advertising garage sales or community events
shall be allowed as long as they do not exceed 2 in number and 12
square feet in aggregate area and are posted on private property.
ii. For other than structures under construction, signs advertising
commercial ventures of any type are prohibited.
3. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
The essence of the architectural design guidelines for Flying M Ranch is to encourage
structures that are designed to appear as a contemporary interpretation of the
traditional neighborhoods of rural Garfield County and other western communities.
These Guidelines also intend to protect the aesthetic values of the community through
elimination of those architectural styles and those building materials that detract from
the appearance of the neighborhood as a whole. Prohibited styles generally are styles
from other regions that are not compatible with regional and traditional vernacular
designs. Prohibited styles include, but are not limited to: A-frames; Domes;
Mediterranean; Tudor; Chalets; Ornate Victorian; Chateau; and Pueblo.
a. BUILDING HEIGHT AND MASS
i. Maximum allowable building heights are not intended to imply that
all portions of a building may be built to the maximum allowable
building height limit. Rather buildings should be designed with a low
profile understated appearance. For large structures, roof planes
are discouraged from spanning the full length of any facade.
Dormers can serve to break up roof planes. Building heights must
conform to the statutes, codes, rules and regulations of Garfield
6
6
County and the Flying M Ranch Planned Unit Development.
ii. Building massing on larger lots should emphasize horizontal scale
and form. Sloped sites may require stepping of massing to connect
the structure to the site.
b. BUILDING FORMS AND MATERIALS
Building form is comprised of three major elements, the foundation, the
building walls and the roof. General parameters for each of these elements
are outlined herein below.
i. Foundations
A site specific geotechnical investigation shall be conducted for
each lot to determine proper foundation design and mitigation of
potential geologic hazards. In order to “ground” a building with its
site, a minimum of exposed foundation concrete is desired.
Masonry materials may help ground the building where foundation
walls are above grade. Siding should be extended to within 6
inches of finished grade to minimize exposed foundation concrete.
A parged finish or stucco coating (finished concrete) or masonry
veneer may cover the exposed foundation concrete to allow a
finished surface to exceed the 6 inches maximum exposure.
Landscape walls may also be used to minimize exposed concrete
foundation walls.
ii. Building Walls
A sample board of exterior materials to be used will be
required for submission to the DRB at the time of final plan
review. Stucco, non-reflective metal panel, wood, stone, or
cement based sidings are encouraged. Other siding materials
may be considered by the DRB on a case-by-case basis.
iii. Roofs
Non-reflective metal, architectural grade fiberglass based asphalt
roofing shingles, and synthetic architectural shingles such as
“Divinci” are recommended. Other roofing materials may be
considered by the DRB on a case-by-case basis.
c. BUILDING STRUCTURE
Exposed structural elements, such as, beams, purlins, rafters and columns
may be expressed in all buildings. Structural expression should be
consistent through all elements of a building - the foundation, the walls and
the roof.
d. WINDOWS AND DOORS
i. Windows and doors provide an opportunity to reinforce building
scale and to add interest and individual expression to a building.
7
7
Windows and doors should be designed as an integral architectural
element of the building. All windows and doors should appear to be
recessed and large areas of glass should be shaded by overhangs,
balconies or similar features in order to establish shadow patterns
to reduce reflectivity of the glass.
ii. Windows and doors shall be designed in proportion with the overall
structure and form of the building. The treatment of all windows and
doors should be consistent on all sides of a building. Window
frames should appear as substantial building elements. The
substantial cross section of framing and trim around windows and
doors creates shadow lines that add interest to a building’s facade.
Windows of unusual shapes and sizes, or the use of colored, highly
tinted or mirrored glass is prohibited. Vinyl or aluminum clad white
exterior frame windows are prohibited.
e. COLORS
i. An underlying goal of Flying M Ranch is for all buildings to be
designed in harmony with the natural surroundings of Garfield
County. All building colors should be selected to achieve this goal.
ii. The colors of exterior building materials shall be in quiet harmony
with the natural landscape of the surrounding hillsides and are
encouraged to reflect the agri-industrial influences of the region.
Natural finishes or transparent or semi-transparent stains may be
used on wood materials. The use of paint requires muted colors,
somewhat darker in value, for the background colors. Accent colors
can be used to add interest to a home, but in no case should accent
colors call undue attention to any single element of a building.
Accent colors should be taken from natural colors found in the
immediate surrounding area.
iii. Acceptable roof colors are weathered greens, grays, browns, black,
and bronze selected in concert with the colors and textures of the
building.
iv. All colors, including but not limited to those for roofing, siding,
stucco, trim, cladding and concrete, are subject to DRB approval.
f. FIREPLACES, CHIMNEYS, VENTS, FLUES AND GUTTERS
Fireplaces are limited to gas or electric devices only. No open hearth solid-
fuel fireplaces will be allowed. Chimneys should be designed in proportion
to the building and generally reflect a simple, understated appearance.
Chimney caps to conceal flues are required. All other rooftop equipment
and vents must be consolidated, concealed and/or painted to match the
roof color. Gutters, when used, must blend in color with the building.
g. PORCHES, BALCONIES AND DECKS
i. Balconies and above grade decks provide outdoor living space and
add interest and scale to a building. Above grade balconies and
8
8
decks should be designed as an integral element of the building.
Balconies and decks should be designed within the mass of a
building, or as a cantilevered element of the building. In no case
shall projecting decks be supported by narrow posts or columns.
ii. The underside of balconies and decks above grade shall be treated
or stained to match the building. Railings on balconies and above
grade decks shall be treated or stained to match the building.
Railings on balconies, decks, stairs and porches should be made
of materials that appear to be natural extensions of the building.
h. DORMERS
The use of dormers should be considered to establish scale to roof forms
and to break up the appearance of large roof planes. When used, dormers
should be in scale and proportion with the rest of the building.
i. SKYLIGHTS AND SOLAR PANELS
Skylights and solar panels shall be integrated into the architectural
composition.
j. ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Accessory dwelling units may be located on Parcel A, Lots A-1, A-2, A-3,
and A-4.
4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND FEES
a. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
The required documents to be submitted for each phase of DRB review are
enumerated below. All plans must list the name, address and telephone

v. Geotechnical Investigation
Lots within Flying M Ranch are subject to geologic conditions and
potential geologic hazards similar to those found in other
developments in the area and are typical of mountainous terrain.
Accordingly, a site specific geotechnical investigation is required for
each lot so as to incorporate engineering solutions and construction
methods appropriate for structures in this locale, to include, where
required, mitigation of rockfall, debris and mud flow and ground
subsidence. A copy of the geotechnical investigation must be
included with the Final Review submittal. The geotechnical
investigation must be prepared and sealed by a professional
engineer.
The geotechnical report must be certified by a licensed professional
in the field. The applicant should not rely on the DRB to evaluate
these documents for adequacy or sufficiency. The role of the DRB
is strictly limited to a determination that such reports and drawings
have been prepared and certified by licensed professionals and
such determination shall in no way be deemed or construed as an
approval or certification by the DRB of the adequacy of such
geotechnical reports or their compliance with applicable statutes,
12
12
codes, rules or regulations. The DRB reserves the right, at the cost
of the Owner, to retain on behalf of the DRB a consultant to advise
the DRB on the submission. The approval is conditioned on the
Owner obtaining appropriate licenses and/or permits from Garfield
County and/or other applicable governmental agencies as a
condition to constructing the related improvements.
