All structures will be designed to utilize the natural land contours with a minimum of grading. Careful attention will be paid to the retention of forested areas to provide natural screening of structures. Prescribed allowable building/development envelopes for each cabin site and recreational lot will control clearing and provide screening for privacy between units, while maintaining the forested character of the Resort. Design Guidelines The Design Guidelines for the development of MountainStar include the following: Exterior Colors. Exterior colors will be darker subtle colors that reflect the colors and or hues of the surrounding forest to help buildings recede and blend into the landscape. Building elements (roofs, walls, trim, doors, window cladding) are to generally fall within the following color ranges; brown, gray and/or green in hue. Fences are to be stained to match the house and blend in with surrounding tree trunks. Balconies, decks, porches and railings shall use natural materials consistent with the exterior finish of the Residence. Exterior paints and stains are to have a flat, non -glossy finish. Stains or opaque and semi-opaque paints are to be used to protect wood from weathering, to give it a more refined texture and to achieve a darker hue. Clear finishes and stains may be appropriate on log and natural wood elements. Exterior Walls and Trims. The predominant materials to be used for exterior walls at Suncadia are to be wood and stone. Stucco is to be used sparingly at Suncadia and only as an accent material. Owners may propose use of other materials for consideration by the DRC. The aesthetic merits of any combination of exterior materials are subject to review and approval by the DRC in order to maintain the architectural consistency of the visual experience at Suncadia. Site and Landscape Design. Site and Landscape Design on individually owned homes sites will conform to the plans submitted to and approved by the DRC prior to site construction and or landscape installation. Site and Landscape design will achieve the following: • Preserve, protect and enhance the existing forest and natural environment. • Situate homes such that they preserve the integrity of the surrounding forested landscape by maintaining a natural buffer between the house and street, neighboring Homesites, Common Areas and the golf course. Limit tree removal to what is necessary to accommodate the home, improve forest health across the entire homesite, create defensible space as may be required under the International Fire Code, and selectively open up views while ensuring that off-site views are protected.
