Wohali is a Native American word honoring the eagle. The architectural essence of Wohali Resort

he eagle is as much from the sky as it is from the land, a sort of linking creature, wings stretched in perfect balance, talons a part of the earth on and off, space celebrated in pure belonging, all of it forming an ancient language of wilderness that speaks of an essential connection to elegance; a new presence perhaps, a new relevance, that offers a unique way of life we call Wohali *.

Wohali Village architecture – Wohali Style – has been inspired by the natural world, in every instance an architecture of two fundamental parts that are in constant dialogue, a bit like a dance of worlds that cannot be anything else but pure harmony: from below will come a building nestled into the landscape, subterranean in parts, as if rocks and boulders and stones have become walls and rising elements intimately touched by the leaves and grasses and soft lawns, thereafter giving way to lighter structural limbs that might be seen to be singing in a designed leap

with the sky, just like the way glass captures the clouds for a moment if you look carefully; great timber beams and gentle timber lattices might feather into prairie air, steel might reach out delicately, and carefully shaped chimneys might rise at just the right moment. Each piece of architecture – each finished building – will constantly remind us of where we are, the privilege of being in this special place, its memory alive, yet every inch of it gently evoking the future.

An architecture of dichotomy such as we recommend, has great importance today, and it is therefore an aesthetic we wish to emphasize: the heavy anchored base and a light delicate top; the ancient and the new; the historical and the contemporary; the vernacular and the modern; a past style becoming something altogether fresh; now becoming tomorrow like a sun rising, a moon setting, a season changing to the call of the eagle.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines iv

A very great vision is needed and the man who has i t must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.

Vision

Located in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains, Wohali village resort is a haven where residents can experience wild nature, world class golf, an exclusive spa treatment, and a relaxing front porch seat where they can enjoy the sunsets and socialize with neighbors. Wohali is indelibly connected to the western landscape of stone cliffs, canyon streams, groves of trees, open fields, and stunning views.

Wohali’s site plan and architecture take inspiration from historic western settlements with old world village roots. It is a place where simple structures are clustered along tree lined walkways leading to village greens. The lodge and village squares anchor the community. Views of natural landscapes and mountain peaks are visible from every home.

Wohali is designed with a deep knowledge and respect for the land and its unique character. Natural processes and site conditions, including habitats, water flows, seasonal change, and geological characteristics were taken into account to create an environmentally sensitive place of stunning beauty.

1.1 Development Description

The mountainous terrain of Wohali encompasses grasslands and intermountain vegetation, valleys with scrub oak and maple trees, and heavily vegetated canyon riparian areas. Wohali Village is situated on a bench resting below a band of picturesque rock cliffs with views of the Eagle Golf Course to the East, Lewis Peak & bowel to the South and the Nest short course thoughtfully meandering through the property. It is the gateway and the center of Wohali with its resort lodges, restaurants, amenities, squares, and residences located along landscaped walkways and garden courtyards.

The Estate Lots are sensitively located on the stepped Highlands with a few nestled in canyon lowland and side country areas. The Golf Course makes its way through much of Wohali’s terrain, stepping down slopes and along ridges, with greens surrounding Lake Wohali and meandering along the edges of riparian areas.

1.2 Intent

These Design Guidelines are meant to promote visual consistency throughout Wohali’s built environment and to set best practices for site development. The Village and Estate Lots will relate as a connected community with a cohesive architectural character and common intertwining open spaces of golf course and natural habitat.

These Design Guidelines are not a “building code,” but recommendations for harmonious design. They are intended to be used in conjunction with a formal review process and are meant to give the property owners and their architects and builders an accurate sense of what the Design Review Board (“DRB”) will be seeking. Their purpose, in part, is to help clarify the broad spirit of Wohali, as well as to apply code and approval requirements to specific design issues. Flexibility and design freedom have been incorporated into the framework of these Guidelines, allowing creativity and personality within the parameters of harmonious community development. In case of conflict or interpretation between these Design Guidelines and the CC&Rs for Wohali, the CC&Rs will govern.

II. PLANNING AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES

A. General Site Character and Conditions

Wohali consists of more than 1,650 acres of land within Summit County, Utah. It is land with a rich history of pioneer ranching; its past owners have been stewards with a deep respect for the land. Development is a continuation of this history and is to be carried out with best practices that preserve and protect its natural character. Wohali is neither urban nor suburban, it is a close-knit community fully integrated in its mountain setting.

These guidelines ask that all structures and houses be designed and built so they fit their natural surroundings, relate to their neighbors, and become part of the fabric of Wohali. Homes and their associated appurtenances must be designed and built to have the least possible impact on the landscape.

2.1 Vegetation

The distribution of vegetation types in the Wohali area is limited chiefly by annual precipitation and moisture content of the soil. These factors are a function of elevation, slope, aspect or sun exposure, wind, vegetation cover, and the nature of the underlying material. There are four distinct natural plant communities or zones within the site, with a variety of plant material occurring within most zones. The four zones within Wohali are: i) Subalpine Conifer ii) Mountain Shrub iii) Alpine and iv) Submontane Brush and Riparian. Sagebrush and oak brush cover much of the site with cottonwoods and some conifers in canyon drainages and aspens and conifers in the higher elevations.

2.2 Topography

The Wohali property ranges in elevation from 5,880 feet to almost 8,600 feet above sea level on the backcountry promontories. The topography is dramatic; it is made up of a series of ridges and canyon drainages running southwest to northeast. Upland meadows on top of ridges gently undulate. Distinctive stone outcroppings form the top of steep ridges.

2
Architectural and Site Design Guidelines

The climate of Wohali is influenced by its proximity to the crest of the Wasatch Mountains. The area is classified as “semi-arid continental” and receives between 20 and 30 inches of precipitation annually. The predominant precipitation occurs as snow, with approximately 150 inches falling each year. Summer temperatures are moderate, with highs approaching 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. January daytime temperatures average 25 degrees Fahrenheit, with winter lows ranging from 0 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit.

B. Wohali Masterplan

Wohali Village is organized by a series of walkways punctuated by green open spaces and courtyards. All walkways terminate in courtyards and plazas; following the stone outcropping on the ridge that forms the Village’s eastern edge.

The Village is anchored on two sides by community gathering spaces and landmark architectural structures which includes the Amphitheater on the north, and the Lodge, Golf House and Plaza on the south. The Entry Cabin, Wohali Square, and common amenity buildings and trails that give Wohali its unique visual character. In doing so they set the

architectural theme and visual standards of Wohali.

Residences and common amenities establish the texture, scale, and overall character of the Village. Their structures define the boundaries of green spaces and walkways, they provide visual interest and create sense of place.

Wohali Estate Homesites have been carefully located on the site to preserve views and respect existing topography. Estate, Ranch, and Cabin structures are predominantly low and unobtrusive, they connect to the site and preserve existing vegetation when possible to allow the eye to sweep the countryside unobstructed.

The golf course is set within Wohali’s topography of meadows, ridges, and valleys, its open greens weave through the community providing dramatic views of the Village and surrounding mountain landscape.

C. Wohali Design Principles:

Wohali’s beautiful mountain setting has informed and defined its design approach. The site presents the opportunity to create a restorative retreat with a high quality of life connected to the natural environment.

Wohali’s site design preserves and celebrates:

• Topography

• Geology

• Native Habitat

• Open Space

• Quiet

• Dark Sky

• Views

• Clean Air

These Guidelines are intended to uphold the principles on which Wohali is designed, which are to:

• Preserve existing topography is as much as possible

• Maintain views

• Provide all residents with direct access to open space

• Establish a walkable traditional Village to be enjoyed year round

• Create distinct Village architecture

• Use authentic materials that harmonize with the existing natural environment.

• Create a cohesive visually rich community with a broad range of housing and building types,

• Use a predominantly native and adapted plant palette

• Provide a broad range of outdoor experiences and outdoor environments that are accessible to all, from private gardens to mountain trails

• Create clear edge between Village and natural areas

III. ESTATE LOTS DESIGN GUIDELINES

A. Site Evaluation

Site planning is critical to successfully integrating buildings and improvements within the natural landscape. Every home site within Wohali has been designed with a building pad designated on the lot. This building pad identifies the location on the lot that maximizes site attributes and minimizes potentially adverse impacts on any sensitive areas within the lot and adjacent property. Nevertheless, property owners and their chosen design consultants shall conduct a site evaluation to specifically site the proposed structure within the building pad location and review the site’s unique opportunities and constraints.

An evaluation of the site’s parameters should include the following:

• Land features such as ridges, buttes, slopes, rock outcroppings, and water bodies

• Existing vegetation, especially significant trees

• Existing grades

• Prevailing winds and solar orientation

• Existing and potential access

• Views

• Noise sources

A well-prepared site plan must be completed in concert with the architectural design and shall respond to building siting and orientation, views, grading, access and other design issues. A creative site plan will find a balance between preserving and enhancing the natural features of the site, while addressing the design objectives of the owner. A site plan reflecting existing conditions and proposed construction will be required as a part of the design review submittal package.

B. Building Pad Locations

Building Pad locations are areas designated on each lot within which improvements on the lot, except utility connections and driveways, must take place. These

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 5
Wohali Master Plan

building pads are shown on individual Lot Features Maps presented to the buyer of each lot. The building pads are not reflected on the Recordation Plat. These building pad locations were determined based on the specific characteristics of each lot and on the design objectives of Wohali, specifically:

• Protecting ridgelines from within and outside Wohali

• Optimizing views within and outside of each lot

• Protecting view corridors from other properties or common use areas

• Protecting sensitive environments

• Protecting and utilizing distinctive natural features

• Maintaining existing drainage patterns

• Preserving the dominance of the natural setting by fitting buildings into the existing landscape

Prior to purchase of a lot at Wohali, the potential lot owner is provided with an individual Lot Features Map showing specific lot setback requirements and existing site features that may be unique to the particular lot. Lot purchasers are required to sign-off on the Lot Features Map as to their understanding of the lot’s specific features and requirements at the time of lot closing.

Any alteration of the Building Pad or encroachment outside of the Building Pad will require the approval of all adjoining lot owner and the approval of the Design Review Committee.

All buildings, including garages, decks, patios, terraces, pools, structural retaining walls, landscape walls and fences, and similar features must be located within the area defined by the building pad. Protrusions of the home can extend outside of the building pad with specific approval by the DRB. Hence, the building pad represents a very important consideration in the design of a home. Homeowners and their consultants are encouraged to meet with the DRB early in the design process in order to understand specific site opportunities and constraints that may exist on their property. As previously noted, buildings and improvements shall be sited to blend with the surrounding environment, rather than dominating natural site characteristics.

Driveway access (including grading and retaining walls necessary for site access) and landscape improvements may be located outside of the building pad.

Unless necessary for driveway access, the removal of trees outside of the building pad is prohibited, without specific approval by the DRB.

C. Site Development

3.1 Homesite Design

Where possible, buildings shall be situated in openings within existing tree masses in locations where they exist. Where this is not possible, buildings shall be placed at the edge of wooded areas to blur the boundary between developed and undisturbed land and create a sense of harmony between the two areas. When locating a home next to existing wooded areas, establishing defensible space between the home and trees per the 2006 Utah Wildland-Urban Interface Code is recommended. Residents of Wohali will adhere to all fire restrictions, fire related ordinances and policies adopted by North Summit Fire District and Coalville City.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 6
Typical Lot Feature Map

In order to respond to site characteristics, consideration should be given to designs that create a composition of smaller building forms clustered around outdoor spaces such as courtyards, porches and verandas.

3.2 Landscaped Areas

Areas outside the building pad are to be left in their natural state with the exception of limited landscaped areas, trails, walkways, roadways, driveways and utility corridors unless otherwise approved by the DRB. Any areas disturbed by construction are to be restored with indigenous plant material that is consistent with the adjacent undisturbed area.

Within the building pad, landscape design and appropriate plant materials may be used to establish privacy. Landscaping must provide a comfortable transition into the native vegetation or transitional landscape zone at the perimeter of the building pad. These areas are required to be landscaped with the following minimum tree and shrub densities per total square footage of the house (including garage area):

• Deciduous trees

• (1) 2” caliper per 1,000 square feet and

• (1) 3” caliper per 1,000 square feet (one clump of trees may be substituted for one 3” caliper tree requirement)

This is particularly important for designs where buildings are situated on open land. Without large trees or other vegetation to scale the building to its natural surroundings, it is important for the designer to create outdoor living spaces that blur the distinction between what is indoors

• Conifers

• (1) 10-12’ tall per 1,000 square feet and

• (1) 12’+ tall per 1,000 square feet

• (2) 6’ tall Rocky Mountain Junipers may be substituted for one of the above conifer requirements

To minimize the use of water and reinforce integration of improvements with the natural environment, formal ornamental gardens, such as large expanses of mulched shrub beds and large manicured lawns are discouraged, particularly when they are visible from neighboring lots.

Landscape designs should incorporate plants from the approved plant lists that correspond to Wohali’s native plant communities. Lots are Step residence to conform to natural slope and what is not. located within four plant communities, a lot’s plant community will be indicated on the Lot Feature Map. Plant lists corresponding to each plant Buildings on sloping lots shall be stepped with the existing contours of the land. Buildings shall be located within the building pad to allow for convenient and safe driveway access.

community are included here in Appendix A.

Installation of invasive plant materials is strictly prohibited. Invasive plants are non-native species that may affect the native ecosystems and

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 7

species living in Wohali. Landscape designs should define outdoor spaces and entries, frame desirable views, screen undesirable views, buffer prevailing winds, provide seasonal shade and add color and interest to courtyards, patios, pools and other outdoor spaces. Consideration should be given to size, color and texture of plant materials. The use of drought tolerant plant materials and the installation of mo isture sensors, drip irrigation and automatic irrigation systems that co nserve water are encouraged.

Landscape plans shall address the building pad, transitional and the native landscape areas. Design goals are different for each of these areas and, thus, require different design solutions. A variety of landscape improvements and materials are permitted within the building pad, but plant materials and improvements are more limited in the transitional and native landscapes outside the building pad. These guidelines have been established with the intention that over time the restoration and enhancement of areas disturbed by development will blend and become a common natural landscape feature visually linking the entire community.

New plantings shall be used to protect important view sheds, help to define use areas on lots, and screen outdoor service areas and other improvements from adjacent lots and off-site views. Landscape improvements shall incorporate, rehabilitate, and enhance existing

vegetation, utilize indigenous species, and minimize areas of intensive irrigation. The following guidelines apply to all landscape areas:

• Provide new trees and shrub plantings in a mix of sizes and textures that will blend naturally into the surrounding vegetation.

• Place large specimen trees in areas close to homes to assist in blending structures into the site.

• Locate plant materials in an informal, natural manner rather than in straight lines, circles or other unnatural patterns.

• Take cues from nature, using soil filled planting pockets nestled among rocks to mimic the wild species that grow in alpine settings.

• Inside the building pad, limit the use and size of high-maintenance turf areas. Turf should be used judiciously, sized as a play area or a gathering pace within the native setting.

• Irrigated landscaped areas over 3,500 square feet are prohibited.

• Design building improvements around existing major stands of trees on the property.

• Protect riparian and wetland areas from disturbance during construction.

• Bark or mulch, if used, must be of a natural color and organic material.

• Inorganic mulch, such as rock chips or pebbles, if used, must be a natural color and match or blend with the native environment.

• Natural areas disturbed by construction will need to be revegetated using a seed mixture composed of endemic plant species.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 8
Native landscape is dominant element

As stated, special consideration must be taken to preserve the natural landscape’s visual integrity and prominent physical site features. Large indigenous plant material shall be used to replace the natural vegetation lost during construction and to reduce the apparent height of any buildings as viewed from off site.

Thinning, pruning, or removal of existing plant material and, in particular, specimen trees (over 6 inches in trunk diameter), is prohibited without the prior approval of the DRB.

3.3 Grading and Drainage

Grading shall be designed as a combination of cuts, fills and retaining walls that protect stands of trees, existing slopes and landforms as well as blend into and/or appear to be extensions of existing natural terrain. Cut and fill slopes of 3:1 maximum are encouraged unless matching adjacent steeper existing slopes. Slopes shall not exceed 2:1 and should not extend the cuts and fills horizontally for large distances. Whenever possible, natural slopes are to be used instead of structured slope techniques.

Site grading and the handling of drainage shall comply with the following guidelines:

• Site grading shall be limited to no more than what is necessary to accommodate the residence or building, porches, patios, driveways and sidewalks.

• Excessive re-contouring of a site, or over-lot grading, is not permitted unless otherwise approved by the DRB.

• Grading shall be confined to the building pad and approved driveway alignment unless otherwise authorized by the DRB.

• Grading shall be designed to blend with the natural contours of the site by feathering cuts and fills into existing terrain.

• Grading, landscaping and site improvements shall not interfere with the functional aspects of natural drainage courses and easements.

• Drainage and utility corridors that are disturbed by construction

must be re-vegetated to match adjacent existing landscapes.

• Property owners are responsible for controlling drainage that results from construction within their building pad; no drainage may be directed onto other lots or tracts unless such drainage ways are located within designated easements specifically designed for such use.

• Drainage from roadways shall be accommodated using culverts under driveways. Culvert ends shall be cut to match finished grade and faced with stone to match stone used on the main residences or to match existing riprap. Culverts and stone facing are the responsibility of the property owners.

• In general, natural drainage courses must be protected and existing drainage patterns maintained. New drainage ways shall be designed to appear and function like natural drainage ways. Headwalls, ditches and similar drainage structures shall be built of an approved stone similar to other stone used on the site.

3.4 Outdoor Living Spaces

Outdoor living spaces can provide effective transitions between residences and the out-of-doors while reinforcing the visual connection of a building with its site. Terraces, verandas, patios, porches, decks, pergolas and courtyards should be integral elements of the home design. These elements shall not be free-standing unless approved in advance by the DRB. The number of these elements shall be limited to avoid visual clutter. Fire pits and associated sitting areas are allowed in the Building Pad and Transitional Zone areas and as approved by the DRB and in adherence to North Summit County Fire District Outdoor wood burning fireplaces are not allowed.

Attention should be paid to patterns of sunlight in planning exterior spaces in relation to buildings. The objective is to create exterior spaces around homes that will be used, so it is important that these spaces are placed to receive as much sunlight as possible over the course of the day. Consideration shall be given to the role building surfaces, colors and material choices play in reflecting sunlight into adjoining exterior spaces.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 9

Materials and roofs for outdoor living areas shall be consistent with materials and roof designs used on the main residence. Paths, outdoor stairs and terraces shall be designed to blend with the natural topography and vegetation. Decks and trellises shall be built of wood, stained and/or sealed. Greenhouses shall be simple and straightforward in their design.

3.5 Landscape Walls, Fences and Retaining Walls

Wohali should reinforce the openness and continuity of

the overall community. For this reason, the landscape walls and fences shall be limited to:

• Creating and establishing privacy around outdoor living spaces

• Screening of service areas;

• Retaining walls

• Providing an edge between landscaped areas and native vegetation

Perimeter fencing of the building pad or lot boundary is prohibited in the estate lots. Regarding lots under 10 acres, walls and fences must comply with the following guidelines:

• Retaining walls and landscape walls must be located with in the building pad unless otherwise permitted within these guidelines or otherwise approved by the DRB.

• Design of landscape walls and fences, as well as pet enclosures

such as dog runs, must be integrated with the design of the residence, must be six feet or less in height, and must be constructed of materials consistent with materials used on the main residence.

• Architecturally textured concrete retaining walls are preferrable to boulders because this style supports a minimalist prairie ambiance. However, boulders, laid stone, mortared on-site stone, stone-face concrete or wood may be used.

• Unacceptable materials include raw concrete, decorative concrete block and brick

• Retaining walls must be constructed of stone or stone veneer consistent with stone used on the residence or other retaining walls along the roadways adjacent to the lots.

• Retaining walls must not exceed six feet in height and, when feasible, shall be designed as architectural extensions of the residence to visually tie the building to the property.

• Fences, when allowed by the DRB, must be constructed of split rail or similar rough wood surface, metal or wrought iron.

• Plastic, vinyl, chain link and other like materials are strictly prohibited.

• Structural retaining walls in excess of four feet must be designed and stamped by a structural engineer.

3.6 Exterior Service Areas and Equipment

Trash disposal, outdoor work areas, and outside equipment including metering devices, transformers, air conditioning units, generators, propane tanks and satellite dishes, are to be completely screened from off-site views and, as appropriate, made inaccessible to wildlife by using architectural features integrated into the building design and form, materials and colors of the site walls. Utility meters must be wall-mounted on the home and connections must be enclosed, incorporated into the design of each home, or screened from view by walls, fences or landscaping. No free standing utility meters will be allowed. Satellite dishes must be screened from the road and adjacent lots.

3.7 Wildfire Safety Measures

In order to reduce the risk of wildfire in Wohali, homes must include

Architectural
10
and Site Design Guidelines
Attention should be paid to sunlight direction and angles

sprinkler systems. Roads should provide natural fire breaks. Thoughtful planning, design, and preventative landscape maintenance can greatly reduce the threat of wildfire. The goal of fire-safe landscaping is to reduce the amount of potential fire fuel immediately surrounding a home. When locating a home next to existing wooded areas, establishing defensible space between the home and trees per the 2006 Utah Wildland-Urban Interface Code is recommended.

Along with the use of low fuel loading plant material, a residence’s landscape should be maintained as follows:

• Dispose of slash and debris left from thinning foliage.

• Water plants near the home to maintain healthy growth and vegetation. Do not allow plants to dry out. Less frequent deep watering is recommended.

• Keep shrubs pruned, do not allow them to grow against structures or into the branches or crowns or trees.

• Avoid planting large trees such as aspens and conifers within 15 feet of buildings.

3.8 Roadways, Driveways and Other Paved Surfaces

All paved surfaces at Wohali shall have a scale and character in keeping with the design of the community and should respond to climate, terrain, and the palette of natural materials and colors suggested by the surrounding environment. Where paved surfaces are used, the choice of material and the alignment of the path, driveway or road shall be based on both aesthetic and functional considerations.

Acceptable paving materials include: concrete, tumbled pavers and surface applied aggregate coating. Unacceptable materials include: ceramic tile, tumbled stone and astro-turf. Paving designs shall be simple and straightforward, using two different materials at most.

Driveways must align with roadways at not less than a 45 degree angle from perpendicular to the road. As per the Summit County Fire Chief, driveways shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide unless a variance can be obtained by the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief, upon his approval, may allow 16 feet of hard surface with 2 feet on either side of drivable surface which may be gravel, turf block or pavers.

Driveways, turnarounds and off-street parking must be designed to blend into the site and must be buffered from the road using landscaping and earth forms. Driveways shall not dominate the front of the residence, nor should they be a circular or looped drive. Stone, wood or lighted columns at the beginning or along the driveway are strictly prohibited. Wohali Resorts will construct a discrete monument at each driveway entry to designate the properties address.

• Remove tops of annual and perennial plants located near the home after they have gone to seed.

• Remove dead limbs, leaves, needles, and other flammable material.

• Prune branches of large trees 8 to 15 feet above the ground to help prevent low fires from reaching the tree crowns and spreading to nearby structures.

Driveways exceeding 12% grade up to a maximum of 15% grade must receive DRB approval and must be heated. In any case, the first and last 20 feet of the driveway must have a maximum gradient of 5%. Driveways shall follow alignments that minimize grading, tree cutting, or other site disruption.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 11
Attention should be paid to sunlight direction and angles

3.9 Driveway Gates

Driveway gates may be considered by the DRB under the following conditions:

• The minimum lot acreage is 4 acres, However, some lots on Wohali Way may be given an exception;

• The gate must be set back off the road right-of-way a distance to be determined by the DRB;

• Gate design and location to be subject to DRB approval; and

• Gate must be signed off and acceptable by North Summit Fire District for access and life/safety measures.

3.10 Garages and Garage Door Locations

Driveway access and garage location lend significant shape to the design and placement of a home. One of the greatest contributors to negative feelings about residential communities is the often-present row of garage doors aligned along the street with oversized driveways leading to them. Every effort must be made to keep this view from becoming prevalent at Wohali. In order to minimize the impact on the community, garage doors facing a public street or any common area are not allowed. Two exceptions to this rule are if a side entry garage would require grading that may have more impact than would a front facing garage or if height restrictions limit building orientation. This issue must be resolved during the pre-design conference (see Chapter VI).

To determine whether the garage vehicle entrance faces a potentially acceptable direction, lines shall be projected perpendicular to each side of the garage door openings until such lines cross a built structure or an undeveloped neighboring buildable area. If one of these lines crosses into a street or common area, the garage doors are not facing a potentially acceptable direction.

Exceptions to this rule may be made at the discretion of the DRB due to insurmountable obstacles existing on the home site or for home sites that can accommodate garages in the rear portions of the property. In this

latter case, the intent would be to recall the image of a carriage house behind the main residence. Only designs that clearly place the mass of the home significantly closer to the street than the garage will be considered. The home’s front entry (entry for people) shall appear dominant over the entry for vehicles. Architectural features such as overhangs above the doors and significant detailing matching the residence are required to help mitigate the visual impact of the garage doors, and to create a cohesive look and feel between house and garage.

The intent of these requirements is to minimize and direct views from community areas away from vehicular components of a residence. Home sites in prominent locations may have additional requirements relative to garage door placement. These requirements will be communicated to owners and their consultants at the pre-design conference (see Chapter VI).

3.11 Lighting

The clarity of the night sky at Wohali is a primary amenity to be preserved. Light pollution is a threat to the clear skies that are central to the heritage of the West. Exterior night lighting should be minimized and used essentially to meet the requirements of safety and to easily identify entrances, driveways, and buildings.

Elsewhere, low intensity lanterns at pedestrian scale or indirect light sources and cut-off (light source screened from view) fixtures are to be used. Light sources shall be shielded and directional and may be incandescent, LED, halogen, or amber, except for temporary

Architectural and Site
Guidelines 12
Design
Well articulated, single garage doors are preferred with d00rs recessed 0n side and rear elevation of building.

Christmas decorations. Up-lighting of landscaping trees and shrubs and building facades is prohibited. Summit County has a Night Skies Ordinance. Home Owners should review this Ordinance and comply with it in their lighting designs.

Every landscape plan submittal to the DRB shall include a plan detailing night lighting with accompanying specifications, such as fixture cut sheets, and other material to assist the DRB with its evaluation. Excessive use of lighting in landscaped areas is discouraged.

3.12 Utility Easements

Utility easements have been established throughout Wohali in order to facilitate the installation and maintenance of utilities. Owners and their consultants are responsible for providing utility service lines to their homes. All utility lines serving individual homes must be located underground and, when feasible, shall be grouped and sited under or alongside driveways to minimize site disturbance.

IV. ESTATE LOTS ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

A. Architectural Theme

Architectural character of the structures built in the estate lots should reinforce architectural themes established in the Village. Homes of one story are encouraged, but not required. It is intended that the architecture present a focused design and theme that will define the special character of Wohali. Architecture must blend with the natural landscape, maintain a sensitive “human” scale and use carefully crafted details with indigenous materials such as timber, stone and bespoke expression of concrete, steel and glass.

B. Design Considerations

4.1 Form

Buildings should have a profile that steps with the contours of the site’s terrain. Buildings should appear to have grown out of the site through the use of terrain-integrated foundation walls and terraces. The foundation walls should serve as a podium for the larger structure, allowing a strong

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 13
Architecture designed in an old-world village theme

base and transition back to natural grades. Major roof forms shall be medium in pitch from 0:0 - 10:12. Roof forms shall be used to shed snow away from building entries, patios, decks, porches, garages, driveways and other areas of activity. The overall form of buildings should be designed as one low dominant mass. Secondary forms can then become additive to create an interesting composition of simple elements that step with the terrain. For instance, a campus-type collection of building forms are encouraged; reminiscent of clustering (pod-style) vernacular farm buildings.

4.2 Structural Expression

The architectural theme of Wohali emphasizes a direct expression of structural enclosure, whether through massing of walls or the use of framing. Often the materials of the expressed structure become the visual detail and finish surfaces of the architecture, such as stone bearing walls. The success of this type of architecture depends on the straightforward expression of structural components—mass walls should read as load bearing walls with deep window and door reveals, while truss and beam framing should be visually integral to the primary structure and not used merely as additive decoration.

4.3 Exterior Materials

The palette of materials for Wohali relates directly to the historic theme of the development. In general, materials and their uses shall be as follows:

4.3.1 Exterior Walls

The primary wall materials shall be natural. Real stone, wood siding, wood shingles and timbers are expected. Cultured stone is not allowed in Wohali. Hand troweled, old world type plaster over lath and wood are allowed. The use of stucco is strictly prohibited unless i) it can be made to look like plaster, ii) it is used in limited quantities and iii) its color is closely controlled and approved by the DRB.

The use of stone to define or enclose a component of the building is encouraged. It can be used to anchor a home at the lower level (walk out)

basement. Stone wainscot above the main level of a home is acceptable but not encouraged and will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the DRB.

4.3.2 Roof Material

Approved roof materials include slate, ceramic and concrete tile (if, of an approved color), synthetic shakes and shingles which resemble cedar, cement shakes and metal shingles (copper, zinc, terne and Corten steel). Standing seam and corrugated Corten steel roofs are also allowed. Fire resistant synthetic shingles may also be used. Especially when using metal roofs, design consideration must be given to the potential danger of snow shedding on pedestrian paths and building entries.

4.4 Design Expression

The basis for design expression at Wohali is revealed in proportion, scale, use of materials and crafted detail. Important elements of the design theme include:

4.4.1 Entries

Building entries should be inviting and designed to avoid the danger of snow shedding from overhead roofs. Entry portals and enclosures should exhibit a high level of artistry in the detailing of structural connections, doors, windows and trim.

4.4.2 Windows

Window proportions should be based on a vertical or square unit, whether set into a wall or grouped together in horizontal openings. Viewing windows shall be set back under roof overhangs or other recesses in the structure to place the glass in shadow, thus avoiding reflection and glare. Analysis should be done to minimize summer solar gain and maximize the effects of the winter sun.

4.4.3 Roof Expression

Roofs should provide a minimum of 36” overhangs to provide a sense of shelter and enclosure. Gable rake fascia should be appropriately scaled to the Architecture of the structure and made up of either two or three

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 14

boards layered, or one heavy timber deep enough to be substantial in depth. Shed roofs are also encouraged, in keeping with a historic village style, it is important to feature several types of roof structures to keep one form from dominating. This creates a unique place that appears to have grown organically over time.

4.4.4 Chimneys

Chimneys should have a proper proportion, preferably built of stone and be integral to the architecture and roofscape. All efforts should be made to vent through chimney with Chimney cap. If approved by DRB a vent may be made outside of the cap but needs to be in copper or black steel.

V. ESTATE LOTS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES

Architecture within Wohali is intended to reinforce and enhance the resort residential design objectives of the development

A. Residence Size

Maximum residence size will be 7,000 square feet on lots that are less than 2.5 acres, 10,000 square feet on lots sized between 2.5 acres and 10 acres and 15,000 square feet on lots over 10 acres in size. Minimum residence size is 3,000 square feet for lots smaller than 2.5 acres, 3,500 square feet for lots smaller than 10 acres, and 4,500 square feet for anything over 10 acres.

Maximum home heights for lots will be defined on the recordation plat and also on the individual Lot Features Maps for each lot. Homes shall be “residential” in scale, having low, horizontal forms which remain below treetop level. It is important that the massing of buildings be scaled in such a way that the structures relate to the environment and harmonize with the area and its natural features.

No unbroken expanse of building mass may exceed 60 feet in length unless otherwise approved by the DRB. When the 60-foot limit is reached, one of the following must occur:

• The building mass must be articulated.

• The wall line must be offset a minimum of 10 feet.

• The roof-line must shift up or down at least 5 feet or take on a different ridge alignment.

The intent of this stipulation is to ensure that buildings do not become overpowering. Changing the plane of walls, changing direction and providing some variety in the roof form gives diversity and visual interest.

B. Building Height

Single-family homes may not exceed thirty five feet (35’) unless otherwise

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 15
Stone Haven Cottages in the Village

noted on the recorded plats and/or Lot Features Maps, and will be measured vertically and parallel to existing grade, excluding chimneys. Include a diagram of the building height with the Design submittal to the DRB. Any finished building facades shall not exceed thirty five feet (35’) in height. The following diagram describes how heights shall be measured from this average grade plan. Some lots may require less building height due to physical lot constraints and County identified ridgeline encroachments. Height requirements will be defined on the individual Lot Features Maps

and should keep moisture protection of the structure in mind.

D. Building Walls

Building walls should relate to the structural nature of the building they are enclosing. Building walls occur above foundation walls, and express the more subtle “middle of structures” using neutral materials.

Materials used on building walls offer the opportunity to convey a sense of unified vision for Wohali. A limited palette of similar materials shall be used to accomplish this vision. No more than four primary building siding materials are permitted on any single structure within the Wohali. Timbers used structurally, or for accent and architectural detail, should

and in some cases on the recorded plat. The intent of the height guideline is to present a human-scaled roofscape, one which steps with the contours of the terrain and recalls the natural setting.

C. Foundation Walls

For the purposes of these Guidelines, foundation walls are those walls which seem to “grow” out of the ground. On sloped sites, they are the walls which form the lower-level walkout. On level sites, they are the building walls at the lowest level above grade. In either situation, they should be expressed as anchors to tie buildings to their sites. Durable materials, such as stone, stone veneer, board-formed concrete or concrete with an exposed aggregate, shall be used to protect the entire foundation exterior wall structures from impact and snow damage. Other materials may be used at this location, but they are subject to review by the DRB

be sized to maintain an appropriate scale to the features of the structure. These timbers or logs should be a minimum of 6” in width, true heavy timbers, not dimensional lumber. Natural transparent or semi-transparent stain is encouraged for these elements. Painting of these timbers is strictly prohibited. If possible, these elements should be actual structure articulated to the exterior detailing of the building.

Wood siding, either vertical, horizontal or shingle, may be used on buildings and must be compatible with Wohali’s climate.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 16
Example of building height conforming to the slope Natural material combined with steel and glass

Natural stone, not cultured stone, is allowed as siding as long as it does not dominate or give the appearance that the house is too heavy. The use of stucco in Wohali is strictly prohibited, however, hand-troweled, old world style plaster on lath is allowed if a sample board is presented for review by the DRB. Other acceptable secondary building materials include wrought iron, wood trim, stone, and painted or non-reflected metals. These materials shall be used in accent areas only and in a manner consistent with the architectural language of the building and overall character of Wohali.

F. Colors

Building colors for residences should be chosen to blend buildings with their surroundings. Earth tones and other low-intensity colors taken directly from the natural site shall be predominant. Colors inherent to their materials, such as natural stone, naturally-weathering woods, and clear-finished or semi-transparent stained rough-hewn timbers or logs generally offer the textures desired in Wohali.

Materials such as stone and wood shall not be painted or covered in opaque stains, unless otherwise approved by the DRC. Trim colors on residences shall be in concert with field colors. Colors foreign to the Wohali landscape shall be avoided.

Roof material colors should also be natural in nature. It is discouraged to have roof colors that stand out in the landscape or are not in concert with the natural colors found around Wohali.

A digital Materials Board illustrating samples and colors of exterior materials are to be submitted to the DRC as part of the Preliminary submittal for the structure. The DRB reserves the right to request physical material samples or physical mock-ups for approval of materials using a 6” x 6” dimension for each sample

G. Windows and Exterior Doors

In keeping with the resort village theme, windows and exterior doors in

stone foundation walls should be expressed as relatively deep reveals. In the frame walls, these elements shall be expressed as infill materials between structural members with surfaces recessed from the members to reinforce the notion of field versus frame. Trim shall be incorporated into the design of windows and doors, either as bucks within stone walls or surface trim on planar materials such as wood siding. Fenestration shall not be treated as punch-outs within a wall surface and shall be proportioned appropriately for the surrounding material. The intent of the door and window guidelines is to recall the heritage of Wohali through the thoughtful design of fenestration, yet allowing for relatively unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape.

5.1 Window Sizes, Shapes and Types

Windows in general shall compliment the overall design of the home. They are to be carefully and proportionately placed, adding aesthetic appeal to the home. Major windows may be vertical, horizontal or square in shape. Secondary may be triangular, hexagonal or circular. They will be approved on a case by case basis by the DRB. Scissor truss windows not matching the roof pitch in a gable will are not acceptable. Lintel overhands shall not be less than two inches away from wall. Large view windows shall occur in frame walls only and shall be recessed under exaggerated roof overhangs or porch soffits to minimize reflections from off site. They shall be scaled for the surrounding structure supporting them—windows between large, rough-hewn timbers, for example, will be considerably bigger than those between smaller timbers. Window sizes shall also relate to their locations on structures.

Approved window types include picture, fixed, double-hung, awning, casement or sliding. Jalousie or similar multiple opening type windows and pivoting or hopper windows are permitted by the DRB on a case by case basis.

5.2 Window Materials and Colors

Windows can be made of full wood or be clad in maintenance-free metals such as copper, aluminum or steel with a baked enamel finish.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 17

Copper cladding may also be left to patina naturally, provided it loses its reflective properties within one year after installation. Baked enamel colors for aluminum and steel clad windows and doors shall be harmonious with trim and siding colors and in hues in keeping with the field colors and accent elements. Window color samples, specifications and exterior staining color samples and applications must be submitted upon request by DRB.

Shutters are permitted around windows if they are operable. Design and placement of shutters shall be consistent and shall not appear random or haphazard. Design freedom is encouraged within the context of other architectural elements on the buildings. Wood shutters shall be stained to match wood windows or trim or painted to match baked enamel colors.

5.3 Window Glazing

Windows shall be insulated (double-glazed as a minimum) with at least a single low-emissivity coating on one of the glazing. Glazing shall be non-reflective to minimize off-site glare. Large vision panels within window walls shall be tempered.

5.4 Exterior Door Sizes, Shapes and Types

Door sizes should be appropriate to their materials, with “heavy” doors used in stone and “lighter” more open doors used in window wall assemblies. Doors in heavy timber or stone walls shall be supported by deep wood, steel or cut stone lintels. Lintels shall be wider than the doors they span. Large, predominantly glazed view doors shall be recessed to minimize reflections from off site. They shall be scaled for the surrounding structure supporting them. The most-detailed doors on the building should generally be reserved for primary entries, where over-sized, finely-crafted portals are most appropriate. All doors shall be generally rectangular in shape. Double doors are encouraged at grand entrances or as elements within window wall assemblies or access onto decks and patios.

Approved door types include standard swing, pivot swing, sliding and terrace. Within Guideline parameters, custom designs are encouraged

for doors, particularly at primary entries.

5.5 Exterior Door Materials and Colors

Exterior doors shall be wood or wood-clad in maintenance-free metals such as copper, aluminum or steel with baked enamel paint in earthen colors. Glass doors are also permitted. Again, copper cladding may be allowed to patina naturally. Baked enamel colors for aluminum or steel cladding shall be in concert to trim colors with hues similar to field colors or stained wood colors. Doors constructed of solid wood may be built of panels, planks or timbers—hewn, distressed or similarly finished.

5.6 Exterior Door Hardware

Variations in designs and materials used for exterior door hardware are encouraged to bring a level of fine detail to buildings within the development. Approved materials include brass, copper, wrought iron, wood and aluminum or steel. Aluminum and steel shall be pre-finished. Industrial, highly-reflective finishes such as polished metals are not permitted.

H. Porches

Porches are a traditional element of the relaxed Wohali lifestyle. Covered and wrap-around porches are encouraged as they emphasize horizontality while complimenting the relaxed community atmosphere. Materials for porches shall be in harmony with the primary building materials. Approved materials for porch floors include plain or rough-sawn wood, stone, exterior slate and tile. Railings can be made of metal, cast iron or naturally weather-resistant wood such as cedar, redwood or fir. Glass railings will be considered on a case by case basis by the DRB which reserves the right to approve or deny.

I. Roofs

Roof shape is the major element of building form and one of the most important contributors to the human scale. All roof forms must complement and create a visually pleasing relationship to the existing terrain. The

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 18 v.2

overall roof profile should undulate such that the home creates a visual interest and relationship to the existing landscape. Primary roofs within Wohali are to be single gabled accented by secondary roofs such as low sheds, double gables, window dormers or porch roof elements that extend from the main structure. Single pitched roofs as the major roof form will be addressed on a case by case basis by the DRB. Primary roofs are defined as roofs which cover more than 60% of the square feet of roof area for single-family residences. Secondary roofs are those which cover less than 40% of the square feet of roof area.

Clipped gables, multiple stacked gables, conical, single pitched roofs and flat roofs will be treated on a case-by-case basis, and if permitted with prior approval from the DRB, they can only be used as accent features on the home and not major features of the roof design. Mansard, false mansard, gambrel, curvilinear (organic in shape) and domed roofs are not permitted at Wohali, unless otherwise is approved by the DRB. Roofs descending from the ridge of the predominant or primary roof must have the same slope, but need not be the same length. Broken-back gables, or roof elements where a gable turns into a shed roof, are allowed as long as they are in keeping with traditional authentic forms.

On sloped lots, roof structures and roof lines should step down the hillside providing the appearance that the home follows the terrain. Roof framing should be expressed wherever possible, particularly through exposed ridge beams, outriggers, rafter tails and fascia boards. Either cold roof or super-insulated roof construction may be used.

5.4.1 Roof Pitch

Approved pitches for primary roofs are between 0:0 - 10:12, inclusive, unless a hardship can be proven to the DRB. Roofs sharing the same ridge must share the same pitch—“flying” shed dormers and the like are not permitted. Pitch breaks (or broken-back features) are permitted when they occur at architecturally appropriate locations such as plate line or changes in plane.

5.4.2 Roof Overhangs

Roof overhangs protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow

and contribute to a building’s character. Roofs shall overhang walls a minimum of 36 inches. Overhangs that are less than 36 inches must be approved by the DRB.

5.4.3 Materials

Roof surfacing materials are important as a means of blending the new construction to the existing character of the area. Primary roofing materials will be limited at Wohali to present a coherent and harmonious image for the community. From a functional standpoint, the choice of materials depends on the slope and assembly of the roof. Approved roof materials include slate, ceramic and concrete tile (if of an approved color), synthetic shakes and shingles which resemble cedar, cement shakes and metal shingles (copper, zinc, terne and Corten steel). Standing seam and corrugated Corten steel roofs are also allowed. Fire-resistant synthetic shingles may also be used.

5.4.4 Roof Appurtenances

Dormers, clerestories, and skylights are roof appurtenances that help to create interesting, pleasant interior spaces. Their location on the roof is critical to avoiding an over-decorated and visually confusing appearance. Dormers can be shed or gable in shape. Dormers can be placed at the roof eave or within the field of the roof.

Skylights must be placed flush against or no more than 4 inches above the roof’s surface. Skylights placed at an angle with the roof plane must be avoided. Skylights shall not extend to the eave line. Clerestories shall be placed within the field of the roof and shall not extend to the eave line. In general, roof ornaments such as finials, ridge scrolling, turrets or barge and eave boards are discouraged.

Wohali encourages passive solar design. Solar panel design must demonstrate consistency with the design of the home and will be reviewed by the DRB. Due to the reflective nature of solar panels, it must be demonstrated that the panels are non-reflective and match as close as possible, the color of the roof or applied surface. Active solar application requests will be considered and assessed by the DRB on a case by case basis.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 19

Rooftop access stairs, mechanical and electrical areas, and antennae shall be confined within the roof and roof dormers and shall not be allowed to protrude from the roof or form awkward-looking bulges in the roof field. All roof vents and roof penetrations are to be contained within mechanical chimneys and enclosures and screened from sight, however if needed to perforate roof, the vent should be wrapped in copper or black steel.

Roof decks must have approval from the DRB.

5.4.5 Snowguards, Gutters, and Downspouts

Snowguards should be used wherever significant amounts of snow may accumulate over pedestrian areas such as entries, patios, porches, driveways, garages and decks. Pitched roofs which face north are particularly susceptible to snow and ice accumulation. Snow and ice accumulation on metal roofs—which heat quickly during sunny winter days—is especially dangerous to unsuspecting persons or equipment. Metal roofs which face south shall be equipped with snowguards or snow clips to prevent injury to people or property. Snowguards shall be constructed of painted plate steel vertical supports with timber or steel horizontal members that relate to nearby structural members. Metal snow clips may also be used.

Outdoor gathering areas facing south, which are not completely covered, are exposed to water drip from the roofs above. These locations are ideal candidates for gutters and downspouts. Where roofs are in constant shadow or have northern exposures, gutters and downspouts used in conjunction with heat tape are often effective. Gutters shall be designed to take the load of accumulated snow and ice on them.

Approved materials for gutters and downspouts include aluminum or steel with baked finish, and copper or lead-coated copper. Gutter sections may be traditional or half-round. Specifications and finish selections must be submitted upon request.

J. Fireplaces and Chimneys

5.4.6 Fireplace Requirements

The use of indoor wood burning fireplaces or stoves is permitted at

Wohali. Fireplaces shall be designed to meet all applicable codes. Exposed flues and vents for gas-operated fireplaces or other equipment such as furnaces shall be hidden from primary views and painted to blend with the nearest building materials.

5.4.7 Chimney Sizes and Shapes

All flues six inches in diameter or greater shall be designed with chimneys. Chimneys shall be in scale with the architecture of the building—not small enough to be lost in the architecture of the structure, but not large enough to overwhelm the building. Chimneys shall be designed in proportion to the structure with heights greater than widths, and in tapered or rectangular profiles. Heights of wood-burning chimneys relative to their nearest rooflines shall comply with applicable codes. Heights of gas-burning chimneys or boiler flues shall be designed to proportionally match their wood-burning counterparts to lend authenticity and consistency to the overall roofscape. When chimneys are placed on an exterior wall, they shall tie to the ground.

Chimneys within Wohali shall be covered in stone veneer (to match stone used on the building veneer), copper, Corten or steel. Chimneys may terminate in decorative caps of stone or metal. When flat or pitched stone caps are used, they shall have a minimum thickness of four inches. Chimney caps shall be designed to screen spark arrestors and other utilitarian equipment as much as possible.

K. Radon Gas Mitigation

There is the potential that radon gas exists naturally in some of the soils on Wohali. In order to mitigate the buildup and potential harmful effects of radon gas in lower levels of homes, such as basements, crawl spaces and first floors, the homeowner’s Architectural Design Team should consult with a Geotechnical or Soils Engineer to determine if Radon Gas is present on a specific lot and to develop specific mitigation techniques if gas is found. It is more cost-effective to include passive radon resistant techniques while building a home than to retro-fit a radon reduction system once the home is built and occupied.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 20

VI. Construction Rules and Regulations

A. Rules and Regulations

See Appendix E for Rules and Regulations including agreement of acceptance that is to be signed by the Builder.

B. Performance Deposit Required

In order to preserve and ensure that the construction of a home is completed to the satisfaction of the DRB, a completion bond in the amount of $15,000 will be required.

Concurrent with Final Plan Submittal, the owner shall deposit with the DRB the sum of FIFTEEN THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS

($15,000.00) (the “Performance Deposit”). Furthermore, owner shall execute and deliver to the DRB a deposit agreement in the form attached hereto (see Appendix C). The Performance Deposit shall be held in escrow pending the completion (including clean up) of all improvements described in the final, approved plans and constructed on the owner’s individual lot.

In the event that the owner, the contractor or their respective agents, representatives or employees (i) cause any damage, (ii) fail to construct the improvements in accordance with the approved plans or (iii) fail to comply with the Guidelines, the Declaration or any rules or regulations adopted or promulgated, the DRB may use the Performance Deposit to, among other things, (a) repair and/or rectify the damage or (b) enforce the Guidelines, the Declaration and any other rule or regulation thus violated and cure any defect or problem caused by said noncompliance. Following the DRB’s use of all or any portion of the Performance Deposit, the owner shall immediately pay to the DRB an amount sufficient to replenish the Performance Deposit to the sum initially deposited. Failure to replenish the Performance Deposit within seven (7) days following the DRB’s delivery of written demand shall be deemed a material breach of the Guidelines and the Declaration and

shall entitle the DRB to (i) deny con- tractor’s access to the community (including any of contractor’s suppliers, subcontractors, employees and material men) and (ii) lien the lot in an amount equal to the Performance Deposit deficiency. Upon tendering the Performance Deposit, the owner shall execute and deliver to the DRB a Notice of Voluntary Lien in the form attached hereto (see Appendix D).

Upon completion of the improvements approved by the DRB (including clean up), the owner shall certify in a letter to the DRB (the “Certification”) that:

(i) The improvements constructed upon the lot have been built in compliance with (a) the approved plans, (b) the Declaration,

(c) the Guidelines and all other rules and regulations adopted for the community;

(ii) All appropriate cleanup has been made;

(iii) All required landscaping improvements have been completed; and

(iv) Neither the owner, the contractor, nor their respective agents, employees nor representatives have caused any damage or, in the alternative, that all damage caused by said individuals/entities has been repaired or rectified to the satisfaction of the DRB.

The Certification shall be delivered to the address so designated by the DRB, which body shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt thereof to confirm the Owners compliance with all applicable requests of the DRB and then deduct the Street Impact Fee from the Performance Deposit and return the remaining funds. The Street Impact Fee for Building in Wohali is: 0-3,000 total square feet-$4,000

i. 3,001-6,000 total square feet -$8,000

ii. 6,001- 9,000 total square feet-$10,000

iii. Greater than 9,001 total square feet-$12,000

In the event that the DRB refuses to return all or a portion of the Performance Deposit due to the owner’s non-compliance which will be detailed in writing to the owner, the owner shall have the opportunity to resubmit a supplemental Certification upon remedying the issues/problems identified in the DRB’s notice of non-compliance.

A. Pre-Design Conference

Prior to preparing preliminary plans for any proposed improvement at Wohali, the owners and their consultants (including some or all of the following: architect, landscape architect, engineer, and contractor) must meet with a representative of the DRB to discuss proposed plans and to resolve any questions regarding building requirements at Wohali. This informal review, which should occur on the property, is intended to offer guidance and answer questions prior to the initiation of preliminary design.

The parameters and directives identified at each Pre-Design Conference remain valid for six months only. If the submittal of a preliminary design does not occur with six months of this Conference, a supplementary Pre-Design Conference will be required to review any changes in site conditions or revisions to the Design Guidelines that may have occurred.

B. Preliminary Design Submittal

The preliminary design submittal must follow the Pre-Design Conference within six months and must include the following exhibits:

VII. DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS

Site sensitive design is fundamental for development at Wohali. Design drawings should evolve from the careful and thorough analysis of a site’s specific setting and features. Consequently, Owners and their consultants should approach a site with an open mind, creating development that fits within the environment in which it will be placed.

The DRB may also require on-site staking of building corners and other improvements. The submittal must include two sets of plan prints and a digital copy of the plans. A complete submittal package must be received at least five days prior to a scheduled DRB review meeting in order to be placed on the agenda for that meeting.

Architectural and Site Design Guidelines 23

The DRB will review final submittal packages and respond in writing within 15 days but no later than 30 days after a complete submittal has been received. Results of reviews will not be discussed over the telephone and Owners and their consultants will only be included in review meetings at the invitation of the DRB. Responses to the DRB by Owners and/or their consultants must be in writing. DRB’s final approval is valid for 12 months from the date of approval.

At the discretion of the DRB, an on-site inspection may be conducted prior to final design review to confirm that plans reflect actual site conditions. A Design Review Submittal Check List is included as Appendix B.

D. Resubmittal of Plans

In the event that plan approval is denied for either a preliminary or final submittal, a resubmission of plans shall follow the same procedure as an original submittal.

E. Construction Commencement

On receipt of final approval from the DRB and all other reviewing agencies, and upon obtaining a building permit from the Summit County Building Department, the Owner may begin construction in accordance with the approved plans immediately or not later than 12 months following final approval. If construction has not commenced within this time period, approval will be considered revoked.

In any event, construction must be completed within two years from commencement except if completion is impossible due to labor strikes, national emergencies or natural calamities. If the two year deadline will be breached, Owners or their representatives must notify the DRB, indicating the reasons for the delay and the revised timeline for completion.

At the discretion of the DRB, work in progress may be inspected and notice may be given of noncompliance with approved plans and/or these Design Guidelines. The DRB reserves the right to hire an independent inspector at the property Owner’s expense should circumstances dictate. Absence of such inspection or notification

during construction does not constitute an approval by the DRB of work in progress or compliance with the Design Guidelines. Any such inspection shall not be construed as an acceptance of any improvements or conditions, or as a waiver of any provision of these Design Guidelines or of any condition of approval established by the DRB.

F. Modifications to Plans after Approval

Any modifications or additions to plans, whether architectural or site designs, including color or materials changes, must be submitted to the DRB for approval prior to implementation.

G. Review Criteria, Variances

The Design Guidelines are intended to provide a framework for improvements but they are not all-inclusive. In its review process, the DRB may consider the quality of workmanship and design, harmony of external design with existing structures, and location in relation to surrounding structures, topography, and finish grade elevation, among other things. DRB decisions may be based on purely aesthetic considerations.

However, the DRB shall not grant approval for proposed construction that is inconsistent with the Design Guidelines unless a variance is granted. The DRB may grant variances when circumstances such as, without limitation, topography, natural obstructions, hardship or environmental considerations are deemed by the DRB to be reasonable issues to support such variances. The DRB may grant a variance so long as the variance does not result in a material violation of the Declaration and is compatible with existing and anticipated uses of the adjoining properties. No variance shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a majority of the DRB members. Any approval of a variance shall not be deemed to set a precedent for future requests; nor shall it obligate the DRB in any way to approve the same or similar variances, even if similar conditions exist.

Architectural and
Guidelines 24

H. Right of Waiver

The approval by the DRB of any plans, drawings or specifications for any work done or proposed to be done shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any right to withhold approval of any similar plan, drawing or specification subsequently or additionally submitted for approval.

Failure to enforce any of the Design Guidelines shall not constitute a waiver of same.

The DRB reserves the right to waive or vary any of the procedures set forth herein at its discretion for cause.

I. Construction Completion

Construction activities including landscape installations must be completed within 24 months of construction start. Upon certificate of occupancy, the DRB will inspect the property and issue a certificate of final construction approval.

APPENDIX E

Builder Rules & Regulations for Construction at Wohali

To preserve good order and discipline in the Wohali Community and maintain the preservation of natural areas of Wohali it is critical to the community to have a set of regulations that govern construction. To ensure that natural areas surrounding every home site are preserved to the maximum extent possible and the nuisances inherent in any construction process are kept to a minimum, the following regulations will be enforced during the construction period. An “Owner’s Agent” is defined as any person responsible for representing the Owner’s interests throughout all project phases. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent will be responsible for violations of these Guidelines whether such violation occurs on the owner’s property or elsewhere in the community. Applicable Occupation Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations and guidelines must be observed at all times during construction.

1. Preconstruction Conference

a. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent must schedule and attend a Preconstruction Conference with the Design Review Board (DRB), prepared with a Construction Site Plan which details access points for the construction, parking (including showing parking capacity designed to accommodate construction vehicles such that all will be off of the road), concrete washout locations, portable sanitation location and identified smoking areas. Prior to site disturbance, trees and all natural areas which are to be preserved must be marked and protected by flagging, fencing or barriers. The DRB has the right to flag major terrain features, trees or plants it deems should be protected. In preparing the Construction Site Plan, access can be scheduled with a Wohali representative.

b. A construction schedule will also be required at this meeting detailing the following: Survey (unless accomplished previously) Silt and other Environmental Fencing, Excavation, Grading, Framing inspections, 4-way Inspection, Completion of Exterior (Roof and Exterior Walls), Completion of Landscape, Date of Final

All trailers and site offices need to have an appearance that is suitable for being a temporary part of this impressive development. The type, size and color of any portable office must be approved so please bring photographs to this meeting. Old, dilapidated, or unsightly by appearance trailers or site offices will be denied.

Upon approval of the building permit and not sooner than two weeks prior to commencement of continuous construction, the construction trailer or portable field office may be located on the building site, clear of all setbacks unless otherwise approved by the DRB. Temporary power and telephone may be installed when the field office is placed on site.

A picture of the intended-for-use trash receptacle that includes a cover must be submitted for approval at this conference as well. Receptacles shall be positioned along the access drive, clear of adjacent road rights-of-way and neighboring properties. Trash receptacles must be emptied on a timely basis to avoid overflow of refuse and disposal must be off site.

c. An Engineered Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required. If any blasting is anticipated, Engineered Blasting Plan is also required at this meeting. A Fire Danger Plan is also required.

Regulations, which acknowledges that Owner and Owner’s Agent are bound by the terms and conditions of the rules and regulations set forth herein.

2. Worksite Conditions

a. In accordance with the limits of disturbance on the approved site plan, and in addition to silt fence, a 6’ tall temporary, chain link mesh fence is required along the entire limits of disturbance of the project. Where driveways longer than 100’ are required to access the primary limits of disturbance area, green “safety fence” may be substituted in place of the chain link fence for the driveway area only. All fencing must be properly maintained, remain upright and in good condition for the duration of the construction project.

b. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent shall be responsible for supplying and maintaining reasonable sheds and trailer(s), onsite offices as necessary for the storage of materials and equipment pertaining to the Work, securing them will be the responsibility of the Owner and/or Owner’s Agent. The DRB will not be responsible for any lost or stolen materials from Owner and/or Owner’s Agent jobsite and we encourage the Owner and/or Owner’s Agent to carry insurance that protects against such theft.

c. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent shall not cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to the DRB or to any other Contractor on site and shall bear the cost of all damages done to the work, materials or equipment of the DRB or other Contractor by its employees. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent will repair all damages to adjoining streets, sidewalks, and premises done by it or its employees and shall be directly responsible to any other Contractor or Subcontractor whose work is so damaged.

d. Upon entering Wohali property, Owner and/or Owner’s Agent should report directly to their construction site. Owner and/or Owner’s Agent should refrain from leaving their jobsite to access other areas within the Wohali development unless there is a clear

and compelling reason to do so. If there is a compelling reason to access another area within the Wohali development, the individual must be accompanied by a the DRB representative.

Within 24 hours of the DRB providing notice to the Owner and/or Owner’s Agent, they can begin the repair. The cost will be deducted from the Performance Deposit, per the Wohali Design Guidelines, will be obligated to replenish the Performance Deposit within 7 days including payment for any excess above the amount of the initial Performance Deposit.

f. The DRB reserves the right to begin repair immediately on damage resulting from negligence of the Owner and/or Owner’s Agent when the DRB feels that, in their best interest and judgement, that waiting to allow the Owner and/or Owner’s Agent to resolve the damage would cause a delay that could either further damage property at Wohali or impede the progress of the DRB or any other Contractors working within Wohali. At this time, a market appropriate amount will be charged to the Performance Deposit and the Owner will be obligated to replenish the Performance Deposit in addition to paying any amount in excess of the Performance Deposit.

g. Driving across neighboring property or golf property to access the lot of Owner’s project is prohibited unless written approval is received.
