Chestnut Hill Subdivision Design Guidelines (updated on 8.26.2018)

Chapter 1: Architectural Review Committee Intent

A. INTENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE

The function of the Architectural Review Committee (the ARC) is designed for the enforcement

of the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines have been established to provide property

owners, designers, and contractors with parameters for the preparation of architectural plans and

specifications. The performance of its duties with respect thereto shall be on a best effort basis -

to reasonably protect the aesthetics and property values within Chestnut Hill and the health,

safety and welfare of all the property owners therein as a community.

The design guidelines described herein shall not take precedent over any other design guidelines

or specifications that may not directly correlate with the Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions

filed with the Madison County Chancery Clerk.

Any person or party owning any lot in Chestnut Hill understands and agrees to the terms and

criteria set forth and agrees to be governed thereby.

B. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE

While the ARC will encourage creativity within the context of the requirements of the Covenants

and Design Guidelines, it is important to note that the authority to approve or deny any plan rests

solely with the ARC. The intent is not to dictate a specific architectural style, but rather

encourage a harmonious aesthetic in the community that will reflect high quality design and

craftsmanship as well as help maintain and improve property value. The aesthetic review and

approval of all design improvements is the initial critical step in obtaining all permits related to

construction. There are certain key elements of the application package that the committee will

always scrutinize:

1. The suitability of the house for the site on which it is being planned as well as the sensitivity

to the existing landscape of each site. 2. The harmony of the architectural style, exterior materials, and proposed footprint, with

adjacent houses and houses in the neighborhood.

3. Excellence of architectural design and properly executed and detailed construction documents.

4. The location of drives, walks, walls, fences, porches, decks, outside compressors, etc.

with respect to any possible impact on adjacent properties.

Chapter 2: General Overview of the Review Process

You are encouraged to contact the ARC (Architectural Review Committee) early in the planning

stage of your home. This meeting will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions, explain

any circumstances unique to your project, and should help expedite the permitting process. The

Committee will provide assistance and guidance in the preparation of the application.

Final design approval shall be effective for a period of six (6) months from the final

2

approval date upon the approved set of plans. Commencement of construction shall begin

within that 6 month approval window and be completed within 18 months or the design

shall require re-approval. The application for approval, fees and all other materials specified

herein for Committee consideration shall be sent to the following people in this order:

1. An Application Fee of $1,000 and a Damage Deposit of $2,000 should be mailed to

Stephanie Wilson at 106 Chestnut Hill Rd, Flora, MS 39071. Fees must be received

BEFORE any plans will be reviewed. In addition, HOA annual dues and any fees must be

current.

2. PDFs of plans should be emailed to chestnuthillarc@gmail.com two weeks prior to the next

scheduled ARC meeting. This is to allow the committee time to review the plans before the

meeting.

3. Application and 3 sets of construction plans should be dropped at the office of Specialty

Management located at 700 Avignon Drive, Suite A-2, Ridgeland, MS 39157, between 9:00

am – 3:00 pm. (Phone: 601-605-8380) Plans must be received 2 weeks in advance of the

next scheduled ARC meeting in time to be reviewed by the consulting architect.

It is the sole responsibility of the Property Owner to acquaint his or her architects, advisors and

Contractors with the architectural review process and the Architectural Design Guidelines,

compliance with the design review process and the architectural design guidelines being the

joint and several obligations of the Property Owner and his agents and contractual participants.

Compliance with all local and state governmental regulations and obtaining all necessary

permits and fees shall be the obligation of the Property Owner. A fee of $1,000 payable to

Chestnut Hill HOA is required with the Application to offset the cost of architectural

consultants for the ARC. Additional charges above the $1,000 fee may be incurred if plan

changes are submitted during the review process and after the final approval is given.

The ARC shall not consider applications from parties who do not own a lot in Chestnut Hill.

Below is a list composed of the requirements for your application package. This list shall be

complete before the ARC members will review your application.

1. SITE ANALYSIS

(a) TOPOGRAPHICAL AND TREE SURVEY: One of the first steps in preparing a site

analysis is obtaining a Topographical/Tree Survey (Tree Survey as needed refer to CC&Rs) and

Boundary Survey for the property. The Tree Survey must be dated within twenty-four (24)

months of its submittal. This survey must be at 1” = 20’-0” scale and should include the

following:

1. Recorded property lines, easements and setbacks.

2. The topographical contours of the lot (2’ contour).

3. The location, genus and species of all trees in excess of 6” in diameter at 4’ height.

4. Any prominent natural features of the site.

5. Utility locations and other easements.

(b) PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT: This analysis should be drawn on a copy of the

Topographical/Tree Survey and should include, but is not limited to the following:

3

1. Building footprint, pool, walks, driveways, decking locations, etc.

2. Existing drainage patterns

3. Site access from right-of-way

4. Dumpsters and portable toilets

5. All existing trees

6. Trees to be removed

7. Site lighting

8. Relationship to adjacent site features i.e.: lake edge, etc.

All variances must be brought to the attention of the ARC during the review process. Certain

variances may also require the approval of the County of Madison, Mississippi.

2. PLANNING THE PROJECT

The house plan and the lot should be mutually compatible. The two must work in harmony;

certain styles of houses are simply not suitable for certain lots. Below is a sample checklist of

some of the things you will want to consider:

• Basements

• Views from your house and your neighbors.

• Size of house.

• Orientation of house on lot.

• Size of nearby houses.

• Location of decks or patios.

• Location of neighbor’s decks or patios.

• Drainage.

• Driveway and parking facilities.

• Setbacks and easements.

• Architecture design

• Architecture of neighboring house

• Colors and Materials

• Trees and rocks

• Location of outside compressor (heat pump)

• Retaining walls

• Fences

• Sewer Grinder Pumps (Specific stats required by Bear Creek Water)

• Swimming pools

Since all exterior construction projects in the subdivision require a permit, it will save both time and

money if you can plan for and include on your initial application any fences, screens, retaining or privacy

walls, swimming pools, irrigation systems, etc.

3. PERMITTING PROCESS

The ARC meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month (please check to verify dates). Two weeks

PRIOR to the meeting week, the building permit application, three (3) sets of the house plans,

ARC specification sheet, all submittal fees, and all other required documents and material/color

samples must be submitted. A complete checklist of the requirements is in –Appendix 2

Reference ‘A’ of these Design Guidelines.

All HOA Fees must be current prior to submitting plans. PDF versions of plans are required

and should be submitted electronically to chestnuthillarc@gmail.com, two weeks PRIOR to the

meeting week.

The most important documents, as well as the ones which generally require the greatest amount

of planning and preparation include.

1. Architectural Plans with Initialed Checklist – Appendix 2 Reference “A”

2. Site Plan with Initialed Checklist (to include grading & drainage Plan) –

Appendix 2 Reference “A”

3. Landscape Plan with Initialed Checklist – Appendix 2 Reference “A”

3. TIME FOR COMPLETION OF SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS

Construction activities must start within 6 months of the issuance of the permit. Failure to begin

work within this time frame may cause your permit to be revoked and all assessments and

deposits forfeited. Beginning with the date of issuance of the permit:

The interior and exterior shall be completely finished, final grading, drainage, foundation

landscaping, and ground cover completed, within eighteen (18) months.

No final inspection will be performed until the ARC Office has received the

Certificate of Occupancy.

4. FOUNDATIONS

Site-specific foundation investigations are encouraged, but not required for lightly loaded

residences. In the absence of site-specific foundation studies, great care should be taken in the

design of the foundation to insure the adequacy and structural integrity of the building.

Foundations of any structures constructed within the 100 Year flood line shall be designed to

withstand flood conditions and forces.

5. BUILDING SETBACK LIMITATIONS

Building setbacks are available from the ARC and should be verified by the owner prior to

advancing on the design process. Although these setback limitations are site specific, absent

such stipulations the following are typical setback dimensions as measure perpendicular from

the appropriate property line:

Sixty (60) feet front setback

Twenty (20) feet side setback, Forty (40) feet if on street side (corner lot)

Fifty (50) feet rear setback

during construction and after completion.

(c) Sign – Seal – Deliver:

Three (3) copies of the Site Plan with original seal and signature must be delivered to the ARC

drop off location.

7. GENERAL

(a) Licensed Professional:

The terms “registered architect”, “architect”, “registered professional engineer”, “engineer”,

“registered landscape architect”, or “landscape architect” as used herein shall mean that such

professional is licensed to practice or allowed to practice in the State of Mississippi by authority

of said state. An approved Energy Auditor shall mean that such professional is licensed and has

been preapproved by the ARC. When said professional’s design, inspection, certification, or

approval is required, that professional’s signed and dated seal shall be affixed to said documents.

Building plans, at a reasonable scale, and building specifications, which shall be prepared by or

certified by an architect and shall include the location, nature, shape, height, materials, type of

construction floor plans and elevations, gross square footage and other characteristics for

State law requires that contractors be licensed by the State of Mississippi Licensing Board. A copy

of the contractor’s license shall be on file with the ARC Administrator’s office.

The use of unlicensed contractors, overseers, consultants, superintendents, etc. will be cause for

denial or revocation of permit.

(b) Flood Plain Conditions:

The ARC requires a flood certificate from licensed engineer prior to construction of all lots

and/or parcels within a flood plain. Any permanent facilities or equipment subject to flood

damage must be located above, or flood-proofed to, the 100-year flood plain elevation, as

applicable at that site.

No building or structure shall be erected, and no existing building or structure shall be extended

8

or moved, unless the lowest habitable finished floor of said building or structure is placed at least

two (2) feet above the elevation of the 100-year flood plain elevation.

(c) Minimum Square Footage:

The minimum square footage of all heated floor areas per dwelling unit for residences is 3,500

square feet. For two story dwellings, the floor at street grade shall contain at least one-half (1/2)

of the minimum square footage, exclusive of open porches and garages.

8. RETAINING WALLS

All retaining walls with a maximum height of more than three (3) feet above grade must be

designed and inspected by a registered professional engineer or architect. The construction of all

retaining walls shall be in accordance with the plans as designed and permitted and shall be

inspected by the registered professional engineer or architect, or their representative, and

approved, with evidence thereof submitted to the ARC.

All walls shall be in accordance with all applicable building codes. The safety and structural

integrity of the retaining wall is the responsibility of the property owner and contractor.

Walls such as those used in landscaping, which are subject to low levels of horizontal pressure,

and which are over three (3) feet in height, require a permit from the County of Madison,

Mississippi.

Retaining walls shall be built of durable materials, including, but not limited to, reinforced

concrete, steel, pressure treated-wood, stone, brick, and other approved materials.

Finishes for retaining walls shall be in neutral tones. No bright or fluorescent colors are

permitted.

9. HEATING/COOLING AIR UNITS AND PADS

Units should be placed in an area having minimal negative impact on adjoining properties. No

unit or pad is to encroach into the utility easements.

10. RADIO AND TELEVISION ANTENNAS

A permit shall be required for each exterior antenna. Application for permits shall include:

Drawing showing location, type and size;

Description of permanent screening;

Complete specifications;

Compliance with FCC Regulations, particularly regarding electromagnetic interference.

Justification for need.

11. IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

If a lawn sprinkler system is planned or anticipated, the location of the piping should be shown

on the Site Plan. If the routing of the sprinkler system is not known at the time the permit

application is submitted, it should be noted and discussed with the ARC prior to install. Lawn

9

sprinkler systems require the installation of a reduced pressure back flow preventer when

connected to a potable water system (often, a larger water service is needed).

You may use the utility easement, building setback areas, or the street right of way (areas not

used for vehicular or pedestrian travel) to place sprinkler systems. However, property owners

are cautioned that any damage done to, or caused by the sprinkler system being placed in these

areas, as the result of utility work, mowing, or vehicles parked on the right-of-way, or for any

other reason or use, is strictly the responsibility of the property owner. Said property owner

agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Developer and HOA from any liabilities or damages.

The sprinkler system should be installed and maintained in such a manner as to prevent water

being sprayed on the traveled portion of the street right-of- way. In the event HOA requires that

the sprinkler system be removed from the street right-of-way for any reason, the property owner

shall promptly comply and remove the system.

12. EROSION AND DRAINAGE CONTROL

Erosion and drainage control measures shall be maintained during and after construction.

Measures shall be taken to ensure that any excessive run-off, silt, and sediment is contained and

not allowed to contaminate adjoining properties and common areas. Except in extreme

circumstances, a properly installed silt fence is usually adequate. The silt fence shall be

properly installed and maintained in order to trap silt and shall not allow silt or debris to be

washed over, under or around the fence.

Water drainage shall also be controlled during and after construction, and provisions for this

should be planned at the time at which the house is being oriented. Water must not be allowed

to:

• Run onto the streets.

• Run across the street to other properties.

• Be unnecessarily and unreasonably diverted to adjacent properties.

In most instances, these objectives can be accomplished by properly utilizing the utility and

drainage easements, natural swales, and the ditch at the roadway. Some drives may require a

grate or swale to divert water into the ditch-way. The driveway tile must be cleaned out and

maintained by property owner.

When installing a drain tile the full width of the lot, approval must come from the ARC.

A “Temporary Limestone Gravel Construction Drive” is required during construction to

keep mud out of the street during construction and provides a hard base when the drive

is installed. Must be installed before any construction has begun.

Chapter 4: Design Guidelines

The proper integration of the site and form, color, materials, architectural language, etc. is a key

to the design objective of these guidelines.

1. AESTHETIC DESIGN OF BUILDINGS

10

All buildings and structures shall meet the minimum requirements for aesthetics as established

by the ARC, including, but not limited to, the following:

(a) Windows: Windows on homes built in Chestnut Hill are required to have muntin bars

unless the ARC deems them not necessary due to the design and style of the home. Window

and door muntin bars must be true or simulated divided lights which are appropriate to the

architectural style of the house. Snap-in or removable mullions/ grids are strictly prohibited.

(b) Window Shutters: When shutters are used they must be appropriate to the architectural

design and style of the home. Shutters must be sized to match the window opening and will be

mounted on hinges. “False” decorative shutters which mount directly to the wall and shutters

which do not match the height and the ½ the width of the window opening are not acceptable.

False shutters are acceptable but, must be recessed and appear to be operable with proper hinges.

Shutters for doubled or grouped windows are not acceptable unless they are actually sized to

match the total width of the opening.

(c) Colors: All exterior colors shall be neutral and/or soft tones and blend harmoniously

with the neighborhood. Exterior components such as front doors and shutters may be an accent

color if such color(s) complement the exterior colors. No colored metal roofs are permitted. No

colored clay tile roofs are permitted.

(d) Materials: The use of natural materials such as wood, stucco, stone and brick are encouraged.

Fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie, is acceptable. Chimney surfaces must be brick,

stone, or stucco - no siding. Windows and doors must be wood or wood clad, no vinyl. None

of the following exterior finish materials shall be allowed: concrete block, clay block, asphalt

siding, asphalt shingle siding, vinyl siding, or EIFS (synthetic stucco).

(e) Roofing: Roofing materials shall be architect grade shingle (30 yrs. Min.), wood shakes or

shingles, slate/slate select. Metal accents may be allowed on roof but must be approved by the

ARC. Any material other than those listed will be approved only at the discretion of the ARC.

Roof penetrations for venting should be located away from dominant views toward the structure,

where feasible and be painted to match or complement the roof color.

(f) Harmony with Surroundings: The ARC will review and compare the plans of the proposed

house exterior architecture and foundation footprint with the adjacent and other neighborhood

houses to determine if such plans are in harmony with the neighborhood and surroundings.

(g) Outbuildings: Storage space, garages and other uses for outbuildings should generally be

included in or attached to principle structure. However, consideration will be given to granting

a permit for an outbuilding if the shape or size of a lot requires such consideration for either new

home construction or additional space for an existing home. The following guidelines will be

considered in reviewing the application for a permit:

• The outbuilding shall coordinate with the architectural style and design of the home.

• The outbuilding exterior material composition shall be consistent with all items including but

not limited, to veneer and roofing.

• Site built outbuildings are preferred.

• Shielding views by an initial planting of suitable evergreens may be

required.

11

2. LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES: The following is a list of submittal requirements to ensure

proper review of the proposed site development:

a. A landscape plan (at 1”=10’ scale) must be prepared and submitted. b. Tree and topographical surveys are to be dated within twenty-four (24) months of their

submittal to the ARC.

c. The entire site must be documented. If areas are to remain natural, it should be indicated as

such on the plan.

d. Driveways, parking areas and elements such as service areas and utilities must be well

screened from the street and adjoining lots.

e. Garage doors must not face the street to which the front of the dwelling is oriented.

f. Water discharge areas and erosion control measures must be indicated in the National

Pollutant and Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Plans, as well as the Mississippi

Department of Environmental

Quality (MDEQ).

3. EXISTING VEGETATION: The existing composition of tree canopy, understory and

water edge vegetation provides a backdrop for visual beauty and natural habitat. Alterations of

this environment should be minimized and considered only after extensive analysis and

evaluation.

The ARC or, in its discretion, Mississippi and/or the County of Madison, Mississippi, in the

same manner outlines the following guidelines in an effort to provide your design team ways to

minimize any adverse impacts of site development:

a. Any removal of trees or areas if understory requires the prior approval of the ARC or their

designee. If select trees are determined to be diseased or in immediate danger of falling, please

contact the ARC immediately for assistance in prompt review.

b. Proposed tree removal and understory clearing required for proper execution of the proposed

improvements should be clearly represented on preliminary drawings, as part of the design

review process. Clearing limits and tree protection during construction is critical to maintaining

the health and natural condition of the lot vegetation.

c. Pruning or selective clearing during construction or upon occupancy should be conducted

carefully to balance the need for improved views and maintenance of sensitive edge conditions.

Alteration to existing tree line and understory vegetation must be approved by ARC Staff prior

to the activity.

It is recommended that this activity be considered after a structure is sufficiently built to allow

the property owner and the ARC the opportunity to customize the pruning activity with as-is

conditions.

4. SOFTSCAPE GUIDELINES:

a. Trees

1. The ARC reserves the right to require additional trees to replace those removed during

construction and to provide a vegetative buffer. A minimum of two-thirds of the replacement

trees should be of native species for the purpose of reforestation.

2. Landscape plans shall show and label species and sizes of proposed trees.

12

b. Shrubs

1. All primary foundation shrubs shall be a minimum size of three gallons.

2. The ARC may require larger material (6’-8’ in height) to be planted to reduce the scale of

tall foundations.

3. Straight-line plantings (hedges) along the property lines are not allowed.

4. Planting beds near side property lines are encouraged to blend with adjacent properties in

both plant material and design. Native plants are also encouraged alongside the edges.

5. The use of native or drought tolerant plants is recommended to reduce irrigation needs.

6. Foundation plantings may be required to be at least one-third the height of the foundation at

time of installation, and should encompass the entire home.

c. Grass, ground cover and mulch

1. The ARC generally discourages the use of large expanses of sod.

2. Areas shown to be grassed should be sodded (as opposed to seeded or sprigged) to ensure

proper soil stabilization. Where surface drainage interfaces with grassed areas, sod is required.

3. Roadside rights-of-way disturbed during construction must be re- graded and re-grassed

where grass preexisted. Likewise, areas of nearby lots damaged during construction must be

returned to their previous condition.

4. Ground cover is encouraged in shaded areas where it is hard to grow grass.

5. Pine straw or hardwood mulch can be used as a ground cover in areas of medium or dense

shade.

6. The ARC encourages the use of rain sensor gauges on irrigation systems.

It should be noted that approval of a landscape plan is conditional, pending a field review of the

in-place installation. Additional landscaping may be required then.

5. HARDSCAPE GUIDELINES:

a. Each lot is permitted to have only one driveway access from the street, unless otherwise

approved by the ARC.

b. Driveways should be paved with concrete; however, the ARC may consider the use of soft

pervious material such as natural stone materials. The ARC prefers, and will likely require,

driveway colors that are subdued and natural in tone. The use of exposed aggregate is excluded.

c. No driveways or walkways may be sited closer than ten (10) feet from property lines, unless

otherwise approved by the ARC.

d. The Site Plan (at 1”=10’ scale; 1”= 20’-0” scale for lots larger than 1 acre) should indicate

the location of a properly sized culvert under the driveway unless deemed unnecessary by the

ARC. All driveways shall be designed and constructed so as to not interfere with and/or block

road drainage

e. Driveway aprons from entrance to property line are required to prevent main road damage.

Aprons should be of concrete and should extend to the property line. Refer to Appendix 3 ‘Detail

B’ for precise direction in constructing the driveway apron.

6. PARKING SPACE

The following standards shall apply to each dwelling unit:

Each dwelling shall have a minimum of (2) permanent garaged parking spaces and a minimum

of (2) off street guest parking spaces. Each parking area shall be served by adequate driveway

space for access to the street. Driveways shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet in width.

13

Materials shall be: hot-mix asphalt concrete, Portland cement concrete, brick, or other durable

material so as to provide a dust-free, all-weather surface. Loose surface materials are not

permitted, e.g.: gravel, sand (all exposed aggregate/washed gravel finish prohibited)

7. FENCES AND WALLS

All fences and walls shall meet the following requirements:

• Regarding fences to be built on recreational area lots or public streets, please refer to ARC.

• No fence or wall shall be built closer than one (1) foot to a property line unless the permit

application includes documented consent by the adjacent property owner, and, the survey

line is adequately staked to eliminate property line disputes.

• No fence or wall shall be built out of chain link, chains, galvanized metals, concrete blocks,

barbed wire, chicken wire, woven wire, unfinished metals, cord wood, gravel rubble, rip-rap,

brush, refuse, or other objectionable materials.

• Fences for non-estate lots must be the ARC approved design (Appendix 3, Detail C). For the

estate lots, any fence design or material other than the approved option must be submitted to

ARC for approval.

• Exposed block foundations must be properly stuccoed or bricked. Poured concrete

foundation walls shall be properly finished and painted or bricked.

• All finish colors shall be in neutral and/or soft tones. No bright or fluorescent colors are

permitted.

Periodic maintenance of fences is required, i.e., pressure washing, painting, replacement, etc.

8. SWIMMING POOLS

The following standards shall apply to all swimming pools:

No swimming pool or part thereof, including aprons and walks, shall protrude into any front

yard, construction setback line, or easement. Discharging of backwash water shall not be

permitted into the holding tank or any other part of the sewer system and shall be controlled so

that it will not wash across the adjoining lot or into any of the lakes.

Any private residential swimming pool and/or spa unit shall be constructed in the rear of the

dwelling and screened from public view. The actual pool or spa (not surrounding patio or deck)

may not be built closer than twenty (20) feet from either side yard lot line or twenty (20) feet

from the rear property line. A secure restrictive fence no less than five (5) feet high shall enclose

the pool or spa area or larger area in which the pool or spa is located.

9. LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTS AND STRUCTURES:

Landscaping ornaments installed on an owner’s lawn should be restricted to a limited number

of small to medium objects that are tasteful and are in harmony with the neighborhood and

surroundings. These types of ornaments require a permit from the ARC. Examples of acceptable

ornaments are arbors, lattice, flagpoles, lawn and/or home exterior lighting systems, water

fountains, and waterfalls with collection pools. Unacceptable examples include whole or parts

of automotive vehicles, agricultural equipment, aircraft, marine equipment, trailers, and motor

homes.

14

Landscaping structures are defined as objects that require purchasing of building materials and

either constructing, erecting, or assembling the materials on-site. These types of items require a

landscaping structure permit.

Site cleanliness shall be maintained at all times during construction. Extreme care should be

given to minimize debris spillage during driving to and from the site. It is imperative that all sites

be maintained in a clean and tidy manner. The following are rules that are enforced on all

construction sites:

a. Trash Containers:

During all construction activities, the lot shall be kept neat and free of excess trash and building

materials. A TRASH CONTAINER SHALL BE PROVIDED for cans and bottles, paper, and

any materials that might be blown from the site. Other building debris shall be kept condensed

and removed from the site on a timely basis. Workers shall be cautioned about any intentional

and unintentional littering while on the job or while traveling within the neighborhood. Litter

violators will be subject to a fine of up to $500.00.

b. Lot Line Markings:

After a permit for any work has been issued, the side lot lines shall be defined with string,

surveyors tape, or other means. Further, all building activities and materials shall be restricted to

the lot for which the permit was issued. Use of adjacent lots, or common property for access to

the building site is also prohibited. In rare instances in which it might be essential to use adjacent

properties for access, prior permission from the property owner is required AND written proof

of this submitted to the ARC Office.

c. Care of Streets:

The streets shall be kept clean and free from mud, rocks, and debris from the building site. In

order to help keep streets clean, the contractor must put rock in the driveway at the beginning of

construction. Any damage to the street or within the street right-of- way must be promptly

repaired. If necessary, the Public Works Director will take corrective action and will bill the

contractor and/or property owner for all expenses involved in the clean-up or repair. If there is

an unpaid balance at the time final inspection is requested, final inspection will be withheld until

the balance is paid. Extreme circumstances can result in the suspension of the permit.

d. Toilet Facilities:

Toilet facilities shall be made available to the personnel on the building site.

e. Parking at Construction Sites:

Limited to one side of road to prevent impeding the flow of traffic.

f. Site Clean Up:

Final clean-up is required, including the removal of all building materials, building debris,

stumps, portable toilets, etc. before the final observation will be completed.

g. Noise:

Noise on a construction site may be considered a nuisance. Loud music or broadcasts from

radios, televisions, or other similar devices AND loud, offensive or abusive language or behavior

is strictly prohibited.

h. Liquid Containment:

Construction liquids and all other construction materials shall be contained within the property.

No runoff is permitted. Excessive amounts shall be contained and disposed of in a manner

prescribed by local, State and Federal Laws.

15

2. ENFORCEMENT

These standards may be enforced by the Association in the same manner as any violation or

threatened violation of the Declaration, including, but not limited to, the lien rights of the

Association for any costs or charges incurred in connection therewith.

With the steadily increasing number of building permits issued, enforcement of the “Rules”

becomes of greater importance to property owners because of the impact on the aesthetics of the

neighborhood. The ARC recognizes the need for enhanced enforcement during the construction

period. Therefore, it has instituted a three (3) part program to minimize, and ultimately eliminate,

ongoing construction period violations.

a. Site Observations:

An ARC-authorized representative will make regular, but randomly, scheduled observations of

permitted construction sites. The representative will look for rule violations such as, but not

limited to: fires, mud on roads, trash collection, toilet facilities, silt fences, encroachment on

adjacent lots, common property, final clean-up, etc. These observations are not conducted to

check compliance with building codes and standards, but rather to see that the home reflects the

ARC approved plans and processes. Any alterations to the design will require a

re-submission to the ARC.

b. Notifications:

Notice of any violations will be posted at the job site by placement of an orange sticker on ARC

building permit. The ARC will then notify the property owner and general contractor by certified

mail of the violation(s) and allowing ten (10) calendar days to correct the violation to avoid

penalty.

c. Penalties:

Upon failure to correct the violation(s) within the 10 days, the ARC building permit will be

revoked and physically removed from the site. All construction at the site shall cease;

continuation of construction will bring other remedies at law available to the HOA.

Reinstatement of a revoked construction permit requires the following:

• Correction of the violation(s) cited.

• Re-inspection.

• Paying the reinstatement fee of $500.00 to the HOA.

In the event of subsequent violation(s) on a given site the same procedure as above applies,

however, a reinstatement payment of $1,000.00 for the second, and $1,500.00 for the third

violation and subsequent violations.

3. DAMAGE DEPOSIT POLICY AS OF July 01, 2017

(1) In addition to the $1,000 Initial Architectural Review Fee as described in Appendix 1

herein, the Property Owner or Contractor shall place a cash deposit with the Architectural

Review Committee at the time of submittal for final design approval. This deposit, (hereinafter

"Damage Deposit"), as established by the Committee is $2,000.00. This $2,000 deposit will

16

be refunded upon completion of all work, improvements and landscaping, and upon

acceptance by the Committee provided there is no damage by the Owner and/or his Contractors

or agents to public and private improvements, common areas, roads, or other lots within the

community* and all trash and debris have been disposed of in a timely basis

according to these Chestnut Hill Architectural Design Guidelines. In the event intervention is

necessary to resolve any job site issue, i.e. non-compliance with any approved submittal, trash

or mud removal, silt fence installation or maintenance, access drive conditions, or similar issues,

the damage deposit shall be forfeited to the extent these funds are used to resolve the issue. The

Chestnut Hill HOA Board is not obligated to intervene but can and will if it is necessary to

protect the interest of other lot owners, Declarant, or the Chestnut Hill Community. Payment

of the deposit and fee shall be made with two separate checks in the amount of $2,000.00 for

damage deposit fee and $1,000 for the ARC fee payable to the order of "Chestnut Hill

HOA” * In the event said Deposit is reduced because of some act of, action or failure to act or

noncompliance by Owner as stated herein, then upon demand of the ARC the Owner shall

within fifteen (15) days, restore the balance to the amount set forth in this paragraph. *Refer

to notes on erosion control.

(2) The Applicant acknowledges that the ARC has the right to deposit such damage deposit

in an interest-bearing account as designated by the HOA. The Applicant hereby agrees that

all such interest that accrues on the damage deposit shall be earned by the HOA and become

the property thereof. Applicant hereby waives any rights in and to the interest so accrued.

The Design Guidelines herein are not intended to amend, alter or supersede the Declaration of

Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Chestnut Hill, as recorded in the office of the

Chancery Clerk of Madison County. In the event these Architectural Design Guidelines

conflict with said Declaration, the Declaration shall control. No approval of plans and

specification, nor these Architectural Design Guidelines shall ever be construed as representing

or implying that a structure is properly designed.

Such approvals and standards shall in no event be construed as representing or guaranteeing that

any structure will be built in a good workmanlike manner. It is the sole responsibility of the

Lot Owner to make sure that construction meets the criteria of Chestnut Hill Covenants and

Design Guidelines.

EFFECTIVE this 1st day of July, 2017.
