  ARTICLE II

Approval of Construction Plans

 

            1.   Approval of Plans Prior to Construction.  Until one hundred (100%) of the Lots within the Properties have been developed and conveyed to purchasers in the normal course of development and sale, or until assigned by Developer to the Association, the Developer (or the Developer's designated agent or committee) shall have the right to pre-approve all plans for construction on any Lot.  During that time, NO CONSTRUCTION shall take place on any Lot prior to Approval of the Plans for the construction by the Developer (or the Developer's designated agent or committee).  Thereafter, the Association, in its discretion, may establish such procedures for pre-approval of plans for construction, as its Board of Directors determines to be appropriate, from time to time, if any. 

 

            2.   Procedure for Approval of Construction Plans.  An Owner seeking approval for construction on a Lot shall submit to the Developer two sets of plans and specifications.  The Developer shall retain one set, and one set shall be returned to the Owner with the Developer's decision regarding approval or rejections of the plans.  Plans shall include all details of the proposed construction, including, but not limited to the following: existing and proposed contours and grades; location of improvements, structures, recreational facilities, and access drives on a site plan; front, rear and side elevations for all improvements; floor plans for all improvements; colors for all exterior surfaces, including, but not limited to siding, brick, roof and trim; plants and landscaping materials, and their locations; any fences and/or walls; patios, decks, pools and porches; parking areas; mail boxes; and such other data, information or drawings as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Developer. 

                         

                        All plans submitted to the Developer for original construction of a structure upon any Lot shall include a description or plan of erosion control during the period of construction which plan shall be designed to prevent the runoff of dirt, mud, or other construction related debris on to any adjoining Lot or right of way during the period of construction and until the Lot is seeded or sodded. 

 

                        Plans shall be approved or rejected by the Developer within thirty (30) days after the Developer receives the plans and all such other data, information or drawings as the Developer reasonably requests.  If the Developer fails to take action on the plans within the thirty-day period, the Owner may compel the Developer's action by written notice to the Developer to approve or disapprove the plans within fifteen (15) days after date of the written notice.  Such notice shall be sent to the Developer by certified mail.  If the Developer fails to take action on the proposed plans within the fifteen-day period, then the proposed plans shall be considered approved and the Owner may commence construction in accordance with the proposed plans.

 

            3.         Basis for Approval/Rejection of Proposed Plans.  The Developer's approval/rejection of proposed plans for construction shall be based upon the following factors:

 

                                                a)         conformity and harmony of the plans and specifications with natural features of the site, other structures within the Properties, including structures on adjoining Lot(s), and with the general intent of these restrictions; and

 

                                                b)         view from the golf course to the Lot, if the lot adjoins or is in proximity to the golf course known as "The Bull", and

 

                                                c)         sufficiency of the plan for erosion control during the period of construction; and

 

                                                d)         compliance with the Minimum Architectural Standards, as herein provided.

 

                        Appropriate color of exterior surfaces shall be considered a vital factor in achieving the purposes of these restrictions.

 

            4.   Developer Immunity from Liability.  The Developer, its agents, committees, successors and assigns, shall not be liable to any Person by reason of mistakes, negligence, or nonfeasance arising out of or in connection with the approval or disapproval of any plans for construction submitted to the Developer.  Every Person who submits plans for construction to the Developer shall hold the Developer, its agents, committees, successors and assigns harmless from any and all liability arising out of or in any way connected with the approval and/or disapproval of all or any part of such plans.
