Flower gardens are encouraged in the front or side as a compliment to the landscape installed by builders. Architectural Design The architectural character of the homes in Peak View is intended to reflect regional character with a variety of interesting and compatible relationships of form, texture and style. Additionally, economic factors, environmental concerns, and construction practices prevalent in the industry are important influences. These DAS are intended to promote a high level of design quality, assure compatibility between residential products within the community, and quiet character and form. Together, these key components comprise an essential part of the Peak View image. There is not single "correct" architectural style for homes or commercial structures in Peak View, yet all design elements are expected to be related clearly to one another in order to establish a unified design theme. This identification and compatibility with in the established architectural theme will be achieved at all levels of design identification, including individual dwellings, commercial center structures and "street scenes," to create a totally unified and architecturally harmonious community. Color The color of exterior material will generally be subdued to blend with the color of the natural landscape. Generally muted color tones are recommended, although occasionally accent colors used judiciously and with restraint may be allowed. Use of highly chromatic or "bright" colors is to be avoided. Materials The front of each single family and multi -family home shall have a minimum of 25% brick, stone or dryvit, excluding the area of the garage door. Exterior surfaces shall blend and be compatible with the community and the landscape. Use of brick, wood stucco and stone is preferred. Exposed concrete blocks, painted concrete, multicolored masonry, mirrored glass, metal siding, prefabricated metal buildings, simulated brick, unnatural brick tones, and Purpose and Intent The following Design and Architectural Standards ("ADS") have been prepared to ensure that the goals and vision are realized for properties in the Planned community known as Peak View. The purpose of these ADS is to provide specific design criteria for the subsequent improvement or modification of landscape within the community. The ADS are designed to establish and maintain a quality community appearance, assure compatibility, direct character and form, and enhance value. All residential development within Peak View Estates is to abide by the applicable criteria established by these DAS in addition to the development standards established by the City of Fort Collins. Community Concept and Character The community design concept for Peak View Estates provides for a development of single family and attached multi -family dwelling units, centered by a common open space. An extensively landscaped perimeter treatment is punctuated by bicycle path connecting West Elizabeth to Overland Park. Relationship of the Design and Architectural Standards (DAS) to other regulations The DAS is not intended to supersede applicable federal, Colorado, or Fort Collins codes or ordinances. In case of conflict or discrepancy or for subjects not addressed in the DAS, the more restrictive DAS, governing agencies, coeds and/or regulations shall take precedence. The DAS are to be used by owners when modifying or upgrading homes or landscaping on individual residential properties within Peak View Estates. The DAS will also be used by the Peak View Estates Architectural Review Committee ("ARC') in reviewing proposals to determine their relative conformance to the overall design objectives and criteria. The Homeowners Assoc. shall be FHA Certified by an Attorney. The DAS are intended to cover each site -specific or lot -specific issue, and community issues such as edge treatments, and relationships to adjacent land uses. SITE PLANNING AND DESIGN Accessory Structures Accessory structures, i.e., "storage sheds," are not allowed on any property without specific approval of the ARC. The home builder and homeowner is encouraged to provide for storage space in garages; provided, however, such storage may not interfere with the primary use of garages. Any accessory structure must be architecturally compatible with the residence or home, EXCEPTIONS TO REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND CODES Peak View PUD will comply with all City of Fort Collins Standards, with the following exceptions: The lot size for single-family residential lots shall be a minimum of 4,000 S.F. with an average lot size of approximately 5535 S.F..
