Solar panels shall be ground mounted or laid flat on same plane as the roof. Solar panel shall not project above the pitch of the roof. Exterior mounted antennas are prohibited. Building Code All structures will conform to all applicable building codes and ordinances. Approval by the ARC does not constitute or imply compliance with such codes and ordinances. LANDSCAPE DESIGN Purpose and Intent The landscape design criteria is intended to supplement the Site Planning and Architectural Design criteria in order to integrate residential structures into the community. Additionally, landscaping should have compatibility with adjacent properties. The project's streetscape, and ultimately transition into perimeter landscaping. The ARC reserves the right to require landscape components as a part of the architectural approval, if in the option of the ARC, the architectural design needs specific assistance to meet the intent of the design guidelines. Timing and Components All landscaping for the development (i.e. rear and side yard landscaping) shall be the obligation of the developer and shall be installed within one year of the building construction. Site Drainage and Grading Structure and landscaping elements shall be placed on the property so that the existing topography shall not be disturbed. Finish grading shall prevent pounding or washing of water into the site or adjacent properties. Drainage shall be directed away from all structures. Newly graded areas shall be protected agents soil erosion. The developer has incorporated measures to utilized soil engineers and landscaping professionals to help ensure proper drainage and erosion control measures are maintained. Plant Materials Plant materials used in the landscaping should be native or naturalized to the area. Plant material selection should be made from locally available nursery or garden center stock. The Colorado Nurseryman's Association Rocky Mountain Plant Guide lists acceptable Materials. Lawn Lawn areas should be kept at least six (6) feet away from the foundation of the dwelling unit or as recommended by a professional soil engineer or landscape professional, to ensure proper drainage is maintained. Foundation Planting Planting beds should surround the foundation of each structure and provide a minimum of two (2) feet of planting area from the dwelling unit foundation to the lawn areas to ensure proper drainage. In all instances, watering near the foundation should be a minimal (e.g. drip irrigation systems) to avoid possible structural damage to the dwelling unit. Common Yards and Edging Landscaping in the common yards of development shall be installed by the builder, and shall be maintained by the Homeowner's Association in a condition at least as good or as better than the condition at the time of installation. The additions of concrete curb type edges are discouraged. Rock and Mulch The DAS will also be used by the Parkside East 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 issue, and community issues such as edge treatments, and relationships to adjacent land uses. SITE PLANNING AND DESIGN Accessory Structures Storage space in garages is provided, however; such storage may not interfere with the primary use of garages. Parking Areas Parking areas are not to be expanded without prior written approval of the ARC. No RV on -site parking will be allowed. Architectural Design The architectural character of the multi -family dwelling units in Parkside East are 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 products within the community, and quiet character and form. Together, these key components comprise an essential part of the Parkside East image. This identification and compatibility with in the established architectural theme will be achieved at all levels of design identification, including "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 Exterior surfaces shall blend and be compatible with the community and the landscape. Use of brick, wood stucco and stone is preferred.

ARCHITECTURAL AND RESIDENTIAL LOT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS For information only, these standards will not administered by the City of Fort Collins, but will be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Committee of the Rigden Farm Developer. The following is intended as an outline of architectural and condominium development standards that will apply to the construction of multi -family dwelling units within Rigden Farm Development. Prototypical Architectural Elevations have been prepared with these plans to help illustrate the aforementioned design standards for the multi -family dwelling units. The covenants for the development will require that a developer submit to the Architectural Review Committee, plans and specifications for their review and approval prior to the construction of any improvements on any parcel. The applicant must submit to the Building Department a letter of approval issued from the Architectural Review Committee, related to all said construction, prior to receiving a Building Permit from the City of Fort Collins. INTRODUCTIONS 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 community known as Parkside East at Rigden Farm. 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 development within Parkside East 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 Parkside East provides for a development of multi -family dwelling units. An extensively landscaped perimeter treatment is punctuated by a brick entry to the community and project identity signage. 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 the developer and future owners when modifying or upgrading landscaping on common area properties within Parkside East.
