B DECLARATION OF EASEMENTS, COVENANTS, CONDITIONS
AND
RESTRICTIONS for ROCKFIRE AT THE LAKE SUBDIVISION
Design Standards
These Design
Standards provide general guidelines for the creation

a community providing a unique mixture of single-family
dwellings, secondary dwellings to be used in connection
with single-family dwellings, duplexes, and living units
appurtenant to primary dwellings for the use and convenience
of the owners and occupants of primary dwellings. In
order to achieve a traditional neighborhood ambience
for RockFire At The Lake Subdivision, each owner shall
submit to the approval of the Design Review Committee
legible copies of the proposed site plan, elevations,
floor plans and specifications, and colors for building
materials for the exterior elevations, surfaces and
roofs. Furthermore, certain Design Standards have been
adopted, including, but not limited to:
1. Residence Design.
(a) Colors, materials, finishes and building forms
shall be in conformity with the requirements hereof
and integrated with the particular landscape and topographical
character of each site.

the proposed improvements, including the house, parking,
drives, and Screening.
(c) Finished grades and elevations must be compatible
with neighboring sites, particularly with regard to
drainage and views.
(d) The design of each residence shall be subject
to the approval of the Design Review Committee and,
without limiting the foregoing, shall comply with

Lot within the triangular area formed by the street
property lines and a line connecting them at points
15 feet from the intersection of the street lines, or
in the case of a rounded property corner from the intersection
of the street lines extended. The same sight line limitations
will apply on any Lot within 10 feet of the intersection
of a street property line with the edge of a driveway
or alley pavement. No tree will be permitted to remain

26. Building Setbacks. Developer
reserves the right to impose minimum building setbacks
upon any of the Lots, from time to time, more stringent

by Developer, especially for unique lots, may vary
from typical standards.

residences (either attached or detached) are permitted
on each Lot, provided, however, that the size and

occupancy thereunder. All leases or rental agreements
shall contain a provision to the effect that the rights
of the tenant to use and occupy the Lot or residence
thereon Lot or residence thereon shall be subject
and subordinate in all respects to the provisions
of this Declaration, the Community Association Bylaws,
and to the Community Association Rules. The provisions
of this paragraph shall not apply to any institutional
mortgagee who obtains possession of a Lot or residence
thereon as a result of any remedies provided by law
or in the mortgage, as a result of a foreclosure sale
or other judicial sale, or as a result of any proceedings,
arrangement, or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
30. Enforcement. The Community Association,
Developer, or their authorized agents may enter any
Lot on which a violation of these restrictions exists
and may correct such violation at the expense of the

and all other rights and remedies available at law
or equity shall be available in the event of any breach
by any Owner, Occupant or other Person of any provision
