EXHIBIT A – RECOMMENDED PLANT MATERIALS ....................................................................... 13 2 2 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 number of the lot Owner and design professionals responsible for the preparation of the plans submitted for review. This shall include, but not be limited to: architectural design, soils engineering, structural engineering, and land survey. Each drawing shall be drawn to an appropriate scale, include a north arrow, graphic scale, lot number, date prepared (including revisions) and clearly delineate required information. b. DRB REVIEW PHASES i. There are two phases of DRB review– A Preliminary Review and a mandatory Final Review. ii. Under no circumstances may any construction be commenced until Final Review approval has been obtained in writing from the DRB pursuant to Section 4.2 herein below. c. FEES i. The DRB will process the submissions for the following fees: Preliminary Design Review $___________ 9 9 Final Design Review (Mandatory) $___________ ii. These fees are based upon the review of a single submission and one resubmission to address DRB comments. If any changes are made to the plans that are not a requirement of the DRB, the Resubmittal fee will be charged. Additional charges will be imposed for additional reviews. d. PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW Each preliminary design review will include the preliminary design review, one meeting related to the review, one resubmittal of the preliminary design review, approval letter, phone calls, miscellaneous copies, and administrative costs. The Preliminary Review should be utilized to avoid a substantial investment in plans and drawings that may not be acceptable and to allow the DRB the opportunity to provide the applicant with comments of a general nature before said plans and drawings are finalized Applicants are encouraged to meet periodically with the DRB as design progresses to discuss any questions. The Preliminary Review approval shall automatically expire one year from the date of issuance. e. PRELIMINARY DESIGN SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The submission requirements for Preliminary Review are contained within Section 4.1.1 through 4.1.3 herein below. 1.
