DEPOE HILLS DESIGN GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
The Depoe Hills Design Guidelines aim to create a strong and unique identity for the new community by considering its location and climate. This is achieved by carefully planning and designing the public areas of the community, including the streets, buildings, and landscapes, to reflect the community's values and goals.
The social goal is to build a community that relies on each other, where people can walk safely and comfortably in attractive public spaces. The community welcomes diversity, providing homes for peopleofallagesandincomes,andencouragessocialinteractioninsharedspacesandgatheringspots, with houses designed to face the streets.
The environmental goals focus on sustainability and resilience to the climate. Construction materials and methods are chosen with durability in mind to withstand challenging weather conditions. The landscape design takes into consideration the coastal location, balancing the desire for beautiful views with protection from the wind, while also promoting the well-being of both nature and residents.
In economic terms, the design guidelines emphasize the importance of starting with modest plans but ensure that following the guidelines will increase the value of the properties with each new building. This benefits both the developers and the homeowners, as each building contributes to the overall growth and value of the community.
The interface between public spaces and private properties is a critical aspect of the community's physicalcharacter.Thedesignaimsforharmonyandconsistencyalongstreetfrontsandpreserveslongdistanceviewsforthepublic'sbenefit.Thedesignguidelinesstrivetomaintainasenseofnaturalbeauty and open space throughout the community.
Overall, the Depoe Hills Design guidelines focus on creating a vibrant and inclusive community that values its environment, fosters social interaction, and promotes economic growth, while maintaining its unique identity and connection with the surrounding landscape.
THE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The Design Guidelines for Depoe Hills consist of four components to be used in conjunction with each other to implement the community vision:
1. Master Plan: A map showing the various lot types, location and form of public spaces, and thoroughfare trajectories and types.
2. Site Design Guidelines: Textand diagramsthatregulate those aspectsof private buildingsthat affect the community.The Site Design Guidelines vary according to the lot types of the Master Plan. The Site Design Guidelines define the streetscape with rules that guide building placement, frontage elements, building uses, building heights, andparking.
4. Architectural Design Guidelines:Textthatspecifiesthematerialsandconfigurationspermitted forwalls,roofs,openings,andotherbuildingelementsintendedtoproducevisualcompatibility among the various Building Types and promote a unique identity for the community.
5. Landscape Design Guidelines: Text that specifies materials and configuration of site improvements including a list of plant species with instructions regarding their location and planting layout.Theplantinglistreflectstheoverallsitegoalsofrestoringanativevegetationto the former silviculture and clear-cut land; creating an ecosystem harmonious with the region; developing a unified character for the new community with a forestation that is coordinated with the urban fabric. The selection and disposition of the planting is intended to support the urban-to-rural interface and to create an ecosystem harmonious with theregion.
GENERAL
1. The objective for the Depoe Hills architectural and site design guidelines is to establish a distinguished aesthetic and experiential ambiance. To this end, a set of rigorous regulations has beenestablished,servingasaframeworkforguidingdevelopmentwithintheneighborhood.These regulations are intended to ensure that any residential design harmonizes with a consistent and predictable architectural standard. An emphasis is placed on meticulous design and construction standards, with stringent prohibitions against inadequately conceived or executed designs.
2. Provisions of all the design guidelines are activated by “shall” when required; “should” when recommended; and “may”when optional.
3. Shared facilities in the street rights-of-way and other public spaces, includingstreet lighting, street signs, trash cans, benches, electrical transformers, dumpster enclosures, and other utilities, shall be of uniform design, approved and located by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).
4. The design requirements for Commercial Buildings and Improvements are not addressed in these guidelines. Referto the Commercial Design Guidelines for requirements.
5. Exceptionsto these Design guidelinesmay be granted based on architecturalmerit, site conditions and/or other extenuating or unusual circumstances. When in violation of any locally applicable ordinances, these Design Guidelines shall be overruled, withnotification given to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).
6. The Architectural Review Committee may determine that a certain lot or portions thereof may be held to Primary Frontage (streets and public spaces) standards if it is highly and easily visible from the public realm, even if it does not meet the definition of PrimaryFrontage.
7. Where a material is specified, it is that material that is specified not others that may resemble it.For example, “wood” means “wood”, not wood chips pressed and glued together, or recycled plastic melted and molded to resemble wood. Materials other than those specified in this document may be used if found on the list of Additional Suitable Materials approved by the Architectural Review Committee.
8. Where previously approved materials have since been prohibited or are nolonger permitted, the previously approved material may be used forrepairs.
AUTHORITY
As part of the Depoe Hills Planned Development, in matters of internal urban structure, these Design Guidelines shall take precedence over other typical standards. In matters of health and safety, Oregon and national regulations shall take precedence. These Site and Architectural Design guidelines may be legally binding by contract with the Depoe Hills Owners Association as a condition of the purchase of property within the community.
The Guidelines will be administered and enforced by the Depoe Hills Architectural Review Committee (ARC) in accordance with procedures set forth in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements for Depoe Hills (Declaration). Owners should also carefully review all applicable sections of the Declaration, sometimes referred to as the CC&R’s. In the event of any conflict between the Guidelines and the Declaration, the Declaration shall control.

The Declarant shall have the sole and full authority to amend the Guidelines during the Development Period (as defined in the Declaration) unless the Declarant delegates such power to the ARC. Upon termination or delegation of the Declarant's right to amend, the ARC shall have the authority to amend the Guidelines with the consent of the Association Board.
NON-LIABILITY
Provided that ARC members act in good faith, neither the ARC nor any member will be liable to the Declarant, any Owner, or any other person for any damage, loss, or prejudice suffered or claimed on account of actions taken by the ARC or Declarant. These actions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Approving or disapproving any plans, specifications, and other materials, whether or not they are deemed defective.
• Constructing or performing any work, whether or not pursuant to approved plans, specifications, and other materials.

For example, the ARC may disapprove an item shown in the Final Design Review submittal, though it may have been evident and could have been, but was not, disapproved at the Preliminary Design Review. An oversight by the ARC of non-compliance at any time during the review process, construction process, or during its Final
Inspection does not relieve the Owner from compliance with these Guidelines and all other applicable codes, ordinances, and laws.
Any error, omission, or misjudgment by the ARCin any one instance shall not constitute the creation of a precedent governing future approvals and decisions. The ARC reserves the right to learn from any such errors or misjudgments and shall not be required to approve repetition of them.
ENFORCEMENT AND FINES
As provided by the Declaration, the ARC may at any time inspect a homesite or improvement, and upon discovering a violation of these Guidelines, provide written notice of noncompliance to the Owner, which may include a reasonable timeframe to correct the violation. If an Owner or his agent(s) fails to comply within thistimeframe, the ARC and/or its authorized representatives may proceed with enforcement as provided for in the Declaration.

Sidewalk : the paved or graveled section of the public frontage dedicated exclusively to pedestrian activity.
Story:a habitable level within a building, excluding an attic or raised basement.
StreetScreen : a freestanding wall built along the Frontage Line, or parallel with the Facade.
TerminatedVista : a location visible at the axial conclusion of a thoroughfare.
TurningRadius : the curved edge of a thoroughfare at an intersection, measured at the in- side edge of the vehicular tracking. The smaller the turning radius, the smaller the pedestrian crossing distance and the more slowly the vehicle is forced to make the turn.

SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES
ThesedesignguidelinesapplytoallBuildingTypes,unlessotherwisestatedbelow,andarecoordinated with the requirements of the specific Building Type.
BUILDING DISPOSITION
1. One Principal Building, and in certain Types, one Outbuilding, may be built on each Lot as noted on the individual Plot Plan.
2. Buildings shall be located in relation to the boundaries of their Lots according to Building Type.
3. Buildings shall be placed on Lots with attention to preserving environmental integrity, in relation to slopes, water management, view corridors, and existing trees.
4. Lot lines that coincide with a right-of-way, street or public space are designated Frontage Lines.
5. Setbacks for Principal Buildings and Outbuildings shall be as shown in Building Type. In the case of a Lot between different Types, front Setbacks shall match one or the other of the existing adjacent Setbacks. Setbacks may otherwise be adjusted by approval from the ARC.
6. [reviewthisnewedit]All building elements shall be subject to required Setbacks. Retaining walls, of maximum height 3-feet, with a pedestrian entrance, may be allowed at the sidewalk or Frontage Line with ARC approval.
Allowable Setback encroachments:
a. Architectural features, such as cornices, roof eaves, canopies, sunshades, gutters, chimneys, and flues shall not project more than 24 inches into a required side yard setback or more than 48 inches into a required front or rear yard setback, nor in any case more than one-third the distance into any required setback.
b. Building wall projections, such as bay, bow, and garden windows, fireplaces, and stoves, that encroach into required yard setbacks shall not be longer than 7-feet in length, shall not encroach closer than 5-feet to a side yard property line. There shall be no more than one wall projection per building side, except building sides exceeding a 30 linear foot length may have a maximum of two bay, bow, or garden windows. Bay, bow, and garden windows shall have windows on all sides, and shall not protrude into any required parking space or area.
c. Uncovered decks may encroach no more than one-third the distance into any required yard setback, but covered areas, such as porches, are not permitted such exception. An access ramp no more than 3-feet by 3-feet (9-square feet) and attendant stairway; or ADA compliant ramp may project into a required side yard setback, provided it is the minimum encroachment necessary to provide safe access and is no closer than 3-feet to the property line.
7. Setbacks shall be measured perpendicular to the property line of the Lot; at curved property lines (as at a street), the measure shall be taken perpendicular to the tangent at the centerline of the Lot.
8. Façades and Elevations shall be built to or set back from the Frontage and Lot Lines as shown in the Building Type or Plot Plan.
9. The maximum allowed Lot Coverage (square footage) shall be as noted on the individual Plot Plans. The Lot Coverage shall be the total of the building footprint plus covered porches, patios, decks, and entries.
10. Facades shall be built parallel to the Frontage Line if a straight line, and parallel to the chord if broken or curved. Elevations may deviate from the trajectory of Lot Lines. Thisprimarily makes the distinction between the requirements for a Façade versus Elevations.
11. Buildings shall have their principal pedestrian entrance from a Frontage unless required otherwise by the ARC or individual Plot Plan.
12. Lots facing two streets shall be considered to have two Frontages, as regards set- backs, attachments, and other details, for the purposes of these Design guidelines. Corner buildings must therefore treat both of their street elevations as Facades. Thus, corner buildings have two fronts, one back, and one side.
13. Lots with Alleyor Flag Lane access shall have auto access only from the Alley or Flag Lane and shall not have auto access from adjacent streets.
14. A building Façade shall be the focus of a street or public space Terminated Vista. Driveways and service areas shall not be permitted at Vista Terminations
15. Lots with Pedestrian Passage access only shall treat the Passage side as the LotFrontage.
16. Street Screens shall be located parallel to the building Façade or Elevation line.
17. Alleys shall be screened from street view by walls or landscape extending from buildings along the Frontage. When alleysintersect at other than 90 degrees, buildings shall extend to avoid exposing to the street the parking or garage entry behind the building. [See Exhibit #, Illustrative Photos Examples 38 & 39.
18. Lots with Alley access, except for Types 1, 2, 3 and 4 (editthis) , shall provide a gate to allow pedestrians to pass from the Building to the Alley without having to go through the garage.
19. Where retaining walls in or adjacent to public property exceed a height of 3-feet, a protective fence or railing shall be placed at the higher elevation and shall be setback to avoid interference with the retaining wall structure, and to be concealed from pedestrians below the wall.
20. All outdoor storage, trashcans, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and communications equipment, utility meters, clotheslines, satellite dishes, play equipment, hot tubs, permanent grilles, firewood (except on porches), and the like shall be permitted only behind the front Façade, at enclosed rear and side yards and shall conform to required Setbacks; or on roofs shall be concealed by parapet walls; and shall be concealed from view from Frontages and adjacent yards. Basketball hoops, croquet courts, and gardens (including vegetable gardens) may be permitted in front yards by approval from the ARC.
21. Trash containers shall be concealed from street view, accessed from a rear alleywhere available,
and located within a permanent enclosure.
22. The following Outbuildings and landscape constructions may be permitted by approval from the ARC and shall adhere to the Depoe Hills Design guidelines: garages, workshops, guest houses, artisan studios, garden pavilions, greenhouses, gazebos, trellises, swimming pools and pool houses. Swimming pools and hot tubs shall maintain a low profile and shall be screened from surrounding lots and street views.
BUILDING CONFIGURATION
1. Frontages shall conform to and be located in accordance with Building Type.
2. Building Heights shall be as shown in Building Type. Refer to Building Height definition for additional information.
3. TheMainFloorElevationshouldnotexceed2-feetabove thehighestexistinggradewithinthe buildingfootprint. Floorelevationsandsitegradesthatareartificiallyelevatedarediscouragedand, insomecases, prohibited.
4. Building rooflines shall be simple, with a maximum of two gables per buildingfacing the street. More elaborate rooflines may be allowed by approval of theARC.
5. Buildings shall have relatively flat Facades. No frontage may present more than six exterior corners to public view, exclusive of attachments. More elaborate massing may be allowed by approval of theARC.
6. Each Building shall have a clearly indicated front entry that is visible andaccessible from a street or Flag Lane.
7. Mechanical equipment on the site or on a roof shall be enclosed by a parapet of theminimum height necessary to conceal it from any publicview.
8. All Building and deck Undercrofts shall be enclosed and screened from publicview.
BUILDING USE
1. Buildings shall conform to the Uses described in Building Type. Uses that do not conform to the requirements shall require approval from theARC
2. Accessory Uses of residence or work shall be permitted within the PrincipleBuilding or Outbuilding as per Building Type.
PARKING AND DRIVEWAY STANDARD
1. Vehicular parking quantity requirements shall be as described in Building Type.
2. Required parking shall be provided within the Lot, except one third of the quantity required may be allocated off-site by approval from theARC.Shared parking tofulfill quantity requirement may be allowed by approval from theARC
3. Required off-street parking shall be placed as shown in Building Type.
4. Parking shall be accessed only by the Alley or the Flag Lane when such isavailable.
5. Parking at the rear of a Lotaccessed from an Alley or Flag Lane may be unsheltered,in a garage, or in a carport.
6. Driveways entering from the street shall be maximum 10-feetwide, except forthe 20-feet immediately in front of a garage or carport, where they may be up to 20-feetwide unless otherwise required by the ARC or individual plot plan.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
GENERAL
1. The Architecture Design Guidelines are organized by these categories:
• WALLS:
o Materials
o Configuration and Techniques
• ELEMENTS AND ATTACHMENTS:
o Materials
o Configurations and Techniques
• ROOFS AND EAVES:
o Materials
o Configurations and Techniques
• OPENINGS:
o Materials
o Configurations and Techniques
• COLORS
• LIGHTING
• SIGNS
2. The aim of the Architectural Design guidelines is to give Depoe Hills a special and distinctive architectural look by finding the right balance between similarity and diversity. To do this, draw inspiration from old buildings in Oregon, like those with Agrarian and Coastal styles, Bungalow and Craftsman designs, as well as Neo-Classical and Mission influences. Moreover, consider the local climate and geography when designing buildings, using traditional techniques that have worked well in the area in the past. If you decide to use historical styles in your designs, you should try to represent them accurately and authentically. This way, we can create buildings that truly reflect the history and spirit of the place.
3. The use of a limited variety of exterior materials and a defined color palette will provide a basis of consistency while allowing variations in the architectural character of the community.
4. Constraints on the building form aim to create designs of exceptional quality by avoiding clichés and kitsch, while also supporting urban and environmental objectives and promoting community identity.
5. All materials shall be subject to approval from the ARC.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
GENERAL
1. The Site and Landscape Regulations are organized by these categories:
• GARDENS:
o Materials
o Configuration and Techniques
• FENCES, WALLS, HEDEGES, PAVEMENTS:
o Materials
o Configurations and Techniques
2. The overall goal for the outdoor spaces and landscape improvements of Depoe Hills is to restore and, in some cases, reconstruct its topography, with a predominantly native seaside landscape of ground covers, grasses and shrubs that can withstand coastal wind, rain and salt spray. The vision is of a continuous landscape of native plant materials surrounding buildings nestled into the natural topography, (minimizing cutting and filling). To avoid the aggregation of a variety of fences up and down and across the topography, fencing shall be restricted to enclosing gardens for outdoor living and protection of children and pets, without fencing along lot lines.
3. The landscape design for a lot should complement the architectural design of the home on that lot. The style, architectural character, architectural features, and materials used on the home should inform design decisions and selections for the landscape and hardscapes supporting the home, creating a harmonious solution for the site. Every effort should be made to minimize the disturbance of existing trees and vegetation.
4. Site designs shall maximize topography and slope preservation and minimize grading. Uphill excavation shall be restricted to the footprint of the building, its access from the street or alley, and a small garden space. Proposed plant materials and site slopes must be compatible to ensure proper drainage and plant growth while limiting erosion. In some cases, terracing is recommended for steeper slopes to reduce the possibility of erosion and facilitate maintenance.
5. Downhill filling shall be restricted to the footprint of the building, its access from the street or alley, and a small garden space.
6. Topographic transitions between improvements and existing grades or between Lots shall appear to be natural slopes or to be garden terraces.
7. All site drainage and water runoff from impervious surfaces shall be either held onsite or drained to the Depoe Hills storm drain system or a combination. The community street drainage has been designed to accommodate runoff from individual lots. Owners are encouraged to engage a licensed engineer for improvements on steep sites, sites with complex slopes, and sites with soils that present construction challenges. These conditions may affect the buildingdesign and construction and could impact surface or subsurface drainage.
8. Tree planting shall be considered a permanent improvement of the community landscape. Significant trees must be maintained in good health and must be protected from physical damage and disease. Removal of deciduous trees larger than 4-inch DBH and coniferous trees 6-inch DBH, shall require approval from the ARC. DBH is measured at 4-feet above existing grade. Unauthorized tree removal will result in a fine and remediation may be required.
9. The height of site retaining walls shall be minimized to the extent practicable and blend into the natural topography. Where retaining walls on or adjacent to public property exceed 3-feet in height, a protective guardrail or railing shall be placed at the highest elevation. This guardrail shall be setback 2-feet minimum from the retaining wall with a planted buffer between the wall and railing to avoid interference with the retaining wall structure, and to help buffer the view of the railing from pedestrians below the wall.
10. Illustrative photos exemplifying elements such as stone and concrete site walls, garden pavement, driveways, sidewalks, garden fences, and metal fences can be found in Exhibit #, Illustrative Photos Examples 38 & 39.

CONSTRUCTION RULES
Owners are responsible for ensuring all contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other personnel are aware of and comply with these Homesite Construction Rules. No clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, plant or tree removal, or construction related activities are allowed until an approval has been granted by the ARC for the Final Design Review, all required Compliance Deposits have been paid in full and all building, and related use permits have been obtained from Deschutes County, and lot line ropes and construction fencing are in place.
CONSTRUCTION HOURS
Construction hours are strictly enforced, subject to fine, and limited to the following:
• Monday thru Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM
• Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
• Sunday All construction activity isprohibited.
Construction activity may not occur on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Day.
To request an exception to the construction hours, contact the ARC a minimum of 72 hours prior to the date of the proposed exception. All construction hour exceptions must receive ARC written approval before they can be instituted.
CONSTRUCTION AREA PLAN
The area within a homesite impacted by construction activity, defined as the Construction Area, shall be limited to the immediate area around required excavation and related site improvements, with reasonable allowances made for the practicality of construction, safety requirements, and material storage. The boundary of the Construction Area must be within 50 feet of proposed structures, with exceptions for the driveway and utility improvements. Every effort must be made to limit impacts within lot setbacks and other areas of the site that are to be retained as natural areas.
The Construction Area must be shown on the Construction Area Plan submitted with the Preliminary Design Review submittal and the Final Design Review submittal. The ARC may, at its own discretion, require a reduction in the size of the Construction Area to lessen impacts to existing vegetation, trees, and site features. The Construction Area Plan shall include the following:
• One vehicular access route, which must coincide with the approved driveway location.
• Protection fencing that defines the boundary of the Construction Area.
• Tree Protection Zone fencing.
• The location and size of the construction material storage areas.
• Parking areas with the maximum number of spaces provided within each area.
• The locations of the chemical toilet, temporary construction trailer/structure, dumpster and debris storage, temporary power, and firefighting equipment.
• Fueling and staging areas.
• Concrete wash pit area.
• Areas of utility trenching.
• Limits of excavation.
• The location and size of stockpiles containing excavated materials, topsoil, and duff.
• Site drainage patterns.
• Erosion control measures for the site.
Prior to commencing any clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, or other construction related activities on a homesite, a Construction Area fence shall be established on the homesite. The Construction Area fencingshall meet the following guidelines:
• The fence must be 4- feet in height and placed in the location depicted on the approved Construction Area Plan of the Final Design Review.
• The fence must be a continuous barrier of woven material, 1 ½ inches x 1 ½ inches, with posts spaced to prevent sagging or encroachment on the protected zone.
• Except for the driveway entry, no gates or means of access will be allowed in the fence.
• No construction trailers, parking, material or equipment storage, dumpsters, portable toilet, or construction traffic will be permitted outside the Construction Area.
• Temporary material storage outside the Construction Area may be considered on a case- by- case basis, but the temporary storage site must be reviewed and approved by the ARC in writing prior to placement of the materials on the site. Strict limitations will be placed on the duration of use of the temporary storage site, and a site Remediation Plan must accompany the request for a temporary storage site.
• The Construction Area fencing shall be maintained in a neat, professional appearance and shall remain in place until all structures and related site improvements have been completed.
TREE PROTECTION
Before any clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, or other construction related activities commence on a homesite, Tree Protection Zone fencing shall be installed around all significant trees that are to remain on the site, as established by the Site Plan from the approved ARC Final Design Review. The Tree Protection Zone fencing shall consist of a fence, 4-feet in height, installed at the drip line, which is defined as the outer edge of the leaf canopy formed by a single tree or group of trees. The fence must be a continuous barrier of woven material, 1 ½-inches x 1 ½-inches, with posts spaced to prevent sagging or encroachment on the Tree Protection Zone. No gates or means of access will be allowed in the fence. The Tree Protection Zone fencing shall remain in place until all site improvements and building construction has been completed. See Exhibit ‘G’ for a Tree Protection Zone fence detail.
Any activities that would cause compaction or contamination of soil within the Tree Protection Zone must be avoided. No parking, material or equipment storage, or construction traffic will be permitted within the Tree Protection Zone. To avoid damage to the tree root systems from accidental spills, all liquids and powders must be stored at least 40-feet from any tree that is to remain on the site.
Trees marked for removal within view corridors must remain on the site until acomprehensive analysis can be undertaken to evaluate the impacts and opportunities associated with the tree removal. To that end, the ARC will conduct an on-site visit once the home hasbeen framed to assess the tree removal request and determine which trees, if any, can be removed. Unauthorized tree removal will result in the immediate forfeiture of the Compliance Deposit and suspension of all construction activity on the property. When a Remediation Plan has been reviewed and approved by the ARC and a new Compliance Deposit has been received, construction activity will be allowed to
resume. In addition to the loss of the Compliance Deposit, fines may be assessed for this unauthorized tree removal and tree replacements may be required as part of the Remediation Plan.
EXCAVATION AND GRADING
Prior to commencing any clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, or other construction related activities on a single-family lot, Construction Area fencing and Tree Protection Zone fencing shall be established on the site, as defined on the Site Plan from the approved ARC Final Design Review.
During construction, erosion is to be minimized on exposed cut and/or fill slopes through proper soil stabilization, drainage management, and revegetation. The following procedures and practices are to be employed to reduce any impacts associated with erosion and sedimentation:
• Silt fencing is to be placed around the down-slope perimeter of graded areas taking care to provide adequate space for construction activities. In some areas multiple silt fences may be required.
• Soil may not be placed against the fence, and silt is to be cleared out regularly.
• Grading on the outer slopes of the site is to be completed first and stabilized immediately.
• Modification and/or repairs of storm control measures are to be performed as soon as a need has been identified.
• Erosion control measures should be inspected regularly, paying particular attention to storm cycles that may require pre- and post-storm inspections.
• Emergency erosion control materials, including rice straw bales and silt fencing, are to be stockpiled on-site. These materials are to be covered with medium to dark earth tone plastic or tarps.
• Disturbed areas are to be watered or otherwise treated, as required, to prevent blowing dust.
• Surplus excavation spoils, not otherwise used on the site in accordance with the Site Plan approved by the ARC, shall be removed from the site as soon as practicable.
• Topsoil is to be properly stockpiled within the Construction Area and covered to minimize blowing dust. This topsoil is to be used for required site remediation.
• Slope roughening or terracing may be utilized to stabilize revegetation on exposed cut bedrock slopes.

DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
The design review process has been developed to ensure that all construction, alterations, and renovations involving the site, buildings, associated structures and features, hardscapes, and landscape conform to the principles guiding development within Depoe Hills, as outlined in the Guidelines. The ARC endeavors to encourage creative input and diversity of ideas from Owners and their consultants in the design and construction of homes, while precluding inappropriate design and development. Successful implementation of these objectives will result in the manifestation of the vision created for Depoe Hills.
The ARC evaluates all development proposals based on these Guidelines. Some of the Guidelines are written as broad standards, and the interpretation of these standards is left up to the discretion of the ARC. Owners should note the ARC has absolute discretion when evaluating the appropriateness of a proposed design for an individual homesite and whether the design conforms to the Guidelines. It should be understood, designs and improvements deemed appropriate for one homesite may not be deemed appropriate for another homesite, and the ARC will make that determination at their discretion.
The design review process has been structured to eliminate excessive delays, but the ARC suggests Owners begin the review process early to allow ample time to obtain required permits. What follows are the procedures, submittal requirements, and fees associated with design review.
PREPARATION

Before commencing with any clearing, grubbing, grading, excavation, construction, or related activity on the homesite, the Owner must have an approval from the ARC for the Final Design Review. If there are specific areas of concern or a requirement for more information, the Owner and/or the Owner’s agent may be required to meet with a representative of the ARC to discuss these issues and/or deliver required revised drawings and supplemental information to the ARC prior to the ARC issuing a Final Approval allowing construction to begin.
If construction approval has been granted and construction has not begun within one year of receiving Final Approval, the application and approval expire and 100% of the Application Fees and
deposits are forfeited. In order to proceed with development on the homesite once an approval has expired, the Owner will need to go through the entire review process again, including submitting all required applications, review materials, Application Fees, and Compliance Deposits.
PROJECT COMPLETION
The construction of any building on any Unit, including painting and all exterior finish, shall be completed within eighteen (18) months from the beginning of approval so as to present a finished appearance when viewed from any angle and the Unit shall not be occupied until so completed. If construction has not commenced within twelve (12) months after the project has been approved by the Design Review Committee, the approval shall be deemed revoked unless the Owner has applied for and received an extension of time from the Design Review Committee. In the event of undue hardship due to weather conditions or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Owner, this time period may be extended for a reasonable length of time upon written approval from the Design Review Committee. The building area shall be kept reasonably clean and in workmanlike order, free of litter, during the construction period. All unimproved Units shall be kept in a neat and orderly condition, free of brush, vines, weeds and other debris, and grass thereon shall be cut or mowed at sufficient intervals to prevent creation of a nuisance or fire hazard and to be in compliance with forest fuels management and fire prevention practices required by the applicable Governmental Authority.
Once a Final Design Review has been completed and approved by the ARC, the Owner has 18 months to complete the construction of all structures, site improvements, and landscaping. During this timeframe, construction shall not be idle for more than 30 consecutive days. If a project is idle for more than 30 days or is not completed in 18 months, the application and approval will be revoked and 100% of the Application Fees will be forfeited. In order to proceed with development on the homesite once an approval has been revoked, the Owner will need to go through the entire review process again, including submitting all required applications, review materials, Application Fees, and replenished Compliance Deposit.
Within 30 days of receiving the Certificate of Occupancy and completing all the ARC approved building construction, site improvements, and landscaping, the developer or owner is required to contact the ARC to schedule the final ARC inspection. Failure to do so will result in fines being levied per the Depoe Hills fine and resolution policy.
REVIEW DEFERRALS
The only submittal items that are allowed to be deferred are paint colors and lighting. Paint colors and lighting plans and fixtures must be submitted to the ARC for review and approval within 90 days of receiving Final Design Review approval. It is prudent to plan color schemes well in advance of scheduling painters and, in all cases, the paint colors must be submitted for review at least 30 days prior to the scheduled start of the work.
APPEALS
Appeals to the ARC will be allowed only as provided in the Declaration.
FINAL DESIGN INSPECTION AND COMPLIANCE DEPOSIT REFUND
It is the responsibility of the Owner to contact the ARC to schedule the Final Design Inspection once all building construction, site improvements, and landscaping have been completed. A Final Inspection can be requested from the ARC via email at arc@depoehills.com. During the building season there is a greater demand for Final Inspections, and sometimes inspections are not feasible due to weather conditions. Consequently, a request for an inspection may require extra time to be fulfilled.
Within 30 days of receiving the Certificate of Occupancy and completing all the ARC approved building construction, site improvements, and landscaping, the developer or owner is required to contact the ARC to schedule the Final ARC inspection. Failure to do so may result in fines being levied per the Depoe Hills fine and resolution policy. If Final Inspection is not successfully approved, reinspection is required within 60 days of initial inspection.
Up to 100% of the Compliance Deposit will be refunded upon a satisfactory Final Inspection of the exterior of the building, site improvements, and the landscaping by a representative of the ARC. Refunds will be mailed to the applicant within 30 days of mailing the ARC Final Inspection decision minus any outstanding fines or liens against the lot.
Site completion and Compliance Deposit refund must be completed within 24 months of date of final approval letter, if not, compliance deposit will be revoked and required to be replenished until final inspection has been approved. The compliance deposit will then be refunded to the applicant.
DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FEES AND DEPOSITS

The amount required for Application Fees and the Compliance Deposit may be amended as needed, but the fees and deposit in effect at the time of submittal will be the fees charged and deposited required in all cases.
The current Application Fee and Compliance Deposit schedule is as follows:
DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION FEE
• A fee of $1,500 applies to the Pre-Design Meeting, Preliminary Design Review, the Final Design Review, and the Final Inspection. The Application Fee is non- refundable.
COMPLIANCE DEPOSIT
• A refundable Compliance Deposit is required at the time of the Final Design Review submittal. The Compliance Deposit will be assessed at $1.00 per square foot of total square feet contained within the structure or structures. The maximum required ARC Compliance Deposit Is$6,000, and the minimum required Deposit is $2,000. When the project has met all ARC conditions and is deemed complete by the ARC the Compliance Deposit will be refunded to the applicant.
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS FEE
• Design review applications for additions or alterations to existing improvements require a $500 Application Fee plus a refundable Compliance Deposit assessed at $1.00 per square foot of total space of the additions and/or alterations. The minimum Additions and Alterations Compliance Deposit is $250.
MINOR ALTERATION FEE
• Design review applications for Minor Alterations to existing improvements require a $500 Application Fee plus a refundable Compliance Deposit assessed at $1.00 per square foot of total space of the additions and/or alterations. The minimum Minor Alterations Compliance Deposit is $250.
LANDSCAPE ALTERATIONS
Any alterations to the landscape require review and approval by the ARC. Upon review the ARC will determine if there is a review fee and compliance deposit required.
• Alterations to landscape areas greater than 100-square feet in size require a $250 design review fee plus a refundable Compliance Deposit assessed at $1.00 per square foot, with a minimum Compliance Deposit of $250.
• Alterations to landscape areas less than 100-square feet in size do not require the payment of a design review fee, but the proposed alterations must be reviewed and approved by the ARC. Notify the ARC to confirm plant materials are compliant with the design guidelines and approved plant list. If in doubt, please contact the ARC administrator for clarification.
RESUBMITTALS
When more than two complete resubmittals are required by the ARC or when an applicant, for reasons of their own choosing, makes a complete resubmittal, the Resubmittal Fee is $250. The Resubmittal Fee is non-refundable.
