APPENDIX E – BUILDER’S RULES AND REGUALATIONS

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 Occupancy. Pictures of any construction trailers or portable field office that will remain on site more than 1 night need to be shown at this meeting and approved by the DRB. 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.

d. A track-out pad is required previous to any concrete or asphalt and must be shown on the plan.

Preconstruction Conference.

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.

Subcontractor whose work is so damaged.

d. Upon entering Wohali property, Owner and/or Owner’s Agent should report directly to their construction site.

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

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.
