DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE APPLICATION ............................................................................................ 1A
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 1
ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION
One of the most important functions of the Association (hereinafter referred to as the
Association) is the preservation of the architectural character of the planned
development of the Orchard Glen Community. The Design Review Committee has
been charged with the administration and enforcement of architectural control and
design review within the community by the authority given to it in Article V of the
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Reservation of Easements
for Orchard Glen (hereinafter referred to as the CC&Rs). The CC&Rs provide for a
Design Review Committee to be appointed (Article V, Section 5.1) to review all plans
and specifications for any Improvements proposed to be constructed within Orchard
Glen, and to approve, conditionally approve or disapprove such proposed
Improvements. The CC&Rs authorize the Design Review Committee to establish,
amend, repeal and promulgate Design Guidelines. The Design Review Committee will,
in either event, administer the Design Guidelines. The Board also has the right to
remedy violations of the Restrictions (as defined in the CC&Rs), other than nonpayment
of any Assessment, and the cost of such remedy shall be charged to the Owner as a
Special Assessment. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and phrases
used herein shall have the meanings given them in the CC&Rs.
Section 1.1 Intent of the Guidelines:
These guidelines are principally concerned with the physical appearance of the
community environment. No construction, reconstruction, installation, removal or
alteration of any outdoor Improvement on a Lot, including landscaping, grading,
excavation, filling or other alteration to the grade or level of the land, may be
commenced by any Owner without prior Design Review Committee approval.
Owners must obtain Design Committee approval prior to commencing any construction,
installation or alteration of any Improvement in Orchard Glen. There are two levels of
concern in the Design Guidelines: “architectural Improvements,” including, but not
limited to, room additions, patio covers, and gazebos, and “landscape Improvements,”
including, but not limited to, planting, flatwork, pools, spas, walls and fences. All
proposed architectural and landscape Improvements are to be submitted to the Design
Review Committee for approval. All submittals must include a completed Submittal
Checklist along with a completed Design Review Committee Application to be
considered. No work is to start prior to Design Review Committee or Board approval of
the proposed plans.
Section 1.2 Design Guidelines:
The Guidelines contained herein have been developed for the Orchard Glen in
accordance with the CC&Rs in the manner set forth above in the Introduction to this
Article. The Design Guidelines establish general procedural rules and a range of
deposits and fees to cover Improvements that range from minor landscaping
Improvements to major architectural and landscaping Improvements. The Design
Review Committee has been given the authority by the Board to establish on an
individual case basis the exact procedural rules and the exact amount of the fees and
deposits required to be paid by an Owner within the parameters of the guidelines
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 2
established by the Design Guidelines based upon the type and the nature of the
proposed improvement for which plans have been submitted.
Section 1.3 Approval:
The Design Review Committee shall approve an application only if it determines that (a)
installation, construction or alterations of the Improvements in the locations proposes
will not be detrimental to the appearance of the Properties as a whole, (b) the
appearance of the proposed Improvements will be in harmony with the existing
Improvements and the overall design theme in the Properties, 9c) installation,
construction or alteration of the proposed Improvements will not detract from the beauty,
wholesomeness and attractiveness of the Properties or the enjoyment of the Properties
by the Owners, (d) maintenance of the proposed Improvements will not become a
burden on the Association, (e) the proposed Improvements are consistent wit the
Governing Documents, and (f) the proposed change does not violate any governing
provision of law. The Design Review Committee may condition its approval of plans
and specifications with such changes it deems appropriate and may require submission
of additional plans and specifications or other information or materials prior to approving
or disapproving plans and specifications. The Design Review Committee shall deliver its
written approval, disapproval or request additional information or material to the
Applicant no later than forty-five (45) days after the Design Review Committee has
received the complete application. In the event the Design Review Committee fails to
approve or disapprove plans and specifications within forty-five days (45) after receipt
by the Design Review Committee of all materials requested, such plans and
specifications shall be deemed approved. This forty-five day (45) period shall begin and
the submittal package will be deemed to be complete when the Design Review
Committee (Article V, Section 5.3.2) deems that all of the requirements of the Design
Guidelines for the approval of plans and specifications have been complied with.
Section 1.4 Inspection:
Failure to complete Improvements in substantial conformance with approved plans and
specifications within the time limitation established for such Improvements in the Design
Guidelines is a violation of CC&Rs which may require disciplinary action as described in
Article V, Section 5.7 of the CC&Rs and Article XII, Section 12.1 of the CC&Rs and
Article VII of the Bylaws. An Owner should complete the Improvements and notify the
Design Review Committee immediately upon the completion of such Improvements
within a timeframe that will ensure that the Improvements will be approved by the
Design Review Committee within the time limitation established by the Design Review
Committee for such Improvements allowing time for the Design Review Committee, or
designated representatives, to make Inspections of completed Improvements, for the
owner to perform any corrective work that may be required in the event that one or more
Notices of Noncompliance are issued by the Design Review Committee.
Owners must also comply with the architectural control requirements of Article V of the
CC&Rs and other provisions of the Association Management Documents. The Design
Guidelines may be more restrictive than the provisions of any other Restrictions,
ordinances or regulations as long as the provisions of the Design Guidelines do not
conflict with the provisions of any other Restrictions, ordinances or regulations. In the
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 3
event of any conflict between the provisions of the Design Guidelines and the provisions
of the CC&Rs, the provisions of the CC&Rs shall prevail as set forth in Section 1.2.3 of
the CC&Rs.
Section 1.5 City/County Approval:
Please be aware that approval of the Design Review Committee is for aesthetic
purposes only and that all necessary City of Corona building permits must be obtained
and that all city and county regulations must be adhered to at all times. After the
Committee has approved the plans for aesthetic purposes, the local regulatory agencies
must be contacted to be sure that the plans are in compliance with all building, zoning,
health and other applicable regulations currently in force.
ARTICLE II GENERAL SUBMISSION PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS
The approval of any Improvement by the Design Review Committee does not waive the
necessity of obtaining the required city and county permits. Obtaining a city or county
permit does not waive the need for Design Review Committee approval.
Section 2.1 Application Submittal:
All applications are to be made to Encore Property Management, the managing agent
for the ORCHARD GLEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. Applications may be
mailed or delivered to:
ORCHARD GLEN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
C/O Encore Property Management
526 Queensland Circle, Corona, CA 92879
P.O. Box 1117 Corona, CA 92878-1117
Telephone inquiries should be directed to: (951) 279-3934
All requests for Design Review Committee approval must be made on the standard
Orchard Glen Homeowners Association Design Review Committee Application forms
and include a completed copy of the Submittal Checklist and Neighbor Awareness
Form. One set of application materials is provided with these guidelines or may be
obtained from the management company and the model home sales office during
business hours. Faxed copies will not be accepted.
Applications submitted to Design Review Committee members will not be accepted and
will be returned to Applicant for submittal to the management company.
Section 2.2. Required Copies:
Three (3) complete sets of plans, showing the items requested in Article IV of these
Guidelines that apply to the appropriate housing type, must be submitted with the
application.
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 4
Section 2.3. Construction Drawings:
Plans must be prepared in accordance with applicable building codes and with clarity
and completeness. It is recommended construction drawings for work involving major
Improvements, or work requiring variances, be submitted at the preliminary drawing
stage for review by both the Design Review Committee and the City of Corona.
Samples of all proposed architectural and hardscape materials must be submitted with
the construction drawings. Photographs and/or brochures are acceptable provided the
color, shape, size and character of the proposed materials is depicted.
Section 2.4. Right of Entry:
If construction work requires the use of Common Area for purposes of transporting labor
and materials, or for the temporary storage of materials for the work, the applicant shall
obtain written permission from the Association for the “Right of Entry” during the course
of construction. A copy of this letter granting permission shall be filed with the Design
Review Committee prior to the commencement of construction.
Section 2.5. Neighbor Awareness:
The intent of this portion of the Architectural Application form is to advise neighbors who
own property adjacent to the proposed work in an attempt to avoid potential conflicts.
This will necessitate obtaining the signature of your neighbor(s) on the application blank
in the spaces provided. The neighbors who must sign the Neighbor Awareness form
must also initial each and every sheet of drawings they are provided for review. Please
contact the management company to determine which neighbors you must obtain a
signature from. In the event of neighbors that are in escrow or uncooperative in
reviewing plans, a good faith effort must be made to obtain the signatures as evidenced
by furnishing copies to the Design Review Committee of a registered letter transmitting
plans and requesting review. The neighbor awareness form is intended as a notification
tool only. By requiring notification, this will promote discussion between homeowners
and hopefully resolve any disputes before the Improvements are submitted for approval.
The approval or disapproval of architectural plans by the Design Review Committee is
not based solely on the homeowner awareness form. No application will be
considered a complete submission until the neighbor awareness condition has
been met to the satisfaction of the Design Review Committee.
Section 2.6. Design Submittal Fees and Design Review Fees:
There is a one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) application review fee payable to Orchard Glen
Community Association that must accompany all submittals. For the initial buyers purchasing
from Centex Homes this fee will be collected during the escrow process. Subsequent buyers
must pay the fee at the time of submittal. Each additional submittal will require the fee to be
paid. There is also a $25.00 Application submittal fee payable to the management company.
The Design Review Committee and/or Board of Directors may amend all submittal fees and
review fees from time to time as the cost of professional consultants change.
Section 2.7. Incomplete Submittals:
To avoid unnecessary delays and expenses, the management company shall not
accept incomplete submittals for consideration. Incomplete submittals shall be returned
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 5
to the applicant along with a noting the area of deficiency. Should the Management
Company and/or Design Review Committee accept an incomplete submittal either by
exception or error, the “acceptance” does not deem the submittal complete. The Design
Review Committee may proceed with the review and deny formal approval until a
complete package is submitted.
Section 2.8. Non-Liability:
Plans and Specifications are not approved for (a) engineering design, (b) compliance
with zoning and building ordinances, and other applicable statutes, ordinances or
government rules or regulations, (c) compliance with the requirements of any public
utility, (d) any easement or other agreement, or (e) preservation of any view. By
approving or not approving such plans and specifications neither the Design Review
Committee, the members thereof, the Association, the Owners, the Board, nor
Declarant assume liability or responsibility therefore, or for any defect in any
Improvement constructed from such plans and specifications or for any obstruction or
impairment of view caused or created as the result of any Improvements approved by
the Design Review Committee (Article V, Section 5.3.3 of the CC&Rs).
Section 2.9. Disposition:
Upon approval, disapproval, or in the event the Design Review Committee requests
clarification or additional information, all submissions shall be distributed as follows:
(a) One plan shall be retained by the Design Review Committee as its
working copy.
(b) One approved plan shall be placed in the Association files.
(c) One approved plan shall be returned to the owner who shall be required to
maintain the same at the work site during the course of construction until
such time as a final inspection has been made by the Design Review
Committee or its designated representative.
(d) Disapproved plans or those requiring clarification or additional information
shall be returned to the Owner. Said plans shall be included in
subsequent submittals.
Section 2.10. Time Period:
Each Owner is required to have his rear yard landscaping completed within One Hundred-Eighty
(180) days from the close of escrow date.
Section 2.11. Inspection:
The Design Review Committee or its duly authorized representative may inspect any work for
which approval of plans is required under this Article. (Article V, Section 5.7). When the Work
is complete, the Applicant shall immediately provide the Committee with written notice of
completion on the form prescribed by the Committee. The Design Review Committee’s right to
inspect the Work and notify the responsible Owner of any Noncompliance shall terminate on the
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 6
date that is sixty (60) calendar days after the date of delivery of the written notice of completion
(Article V, Section 5.7.1).
Section 2.12. Appeals:
All requests for reconsideration must be in writing and submitted within 30 days
following the final decision of the Design Review Committee. A written request or
written appeal to the Board of Directors to reconsider the complete Application at an
open meeting of the Board will be responded to with notice of the date upon which the
matter will be reconsidered at an open meeting of the Board. (Civil Code 1378.) Notice
of the open meeting shall be given at least 4 days prior to the open meeting. (Civil
Code 1363.05 and 1378.) The open meeting will be the next scheduled regular meeting
of the Board. A decision on the Appeal will be in writing to the homeowner within 30
days after the decision of the Board of Directors. Refer to Article 5, Section 5.10 of the
CC&Rs.
Section 2.13. Enforcement:
Failure to obtain the necessary approval from the Association may constitute a violation
of the CC&Rs and may require modifications or removal of work at the expense of the
Owner.
Section 2.14. Violations:
All residents have the right and the responsibility to bring to the attention of the Design
Review Committee any violations of any of the Design Guidelines or the provisions of

Section 2.15. Amendments:
These Design Guidelines, along with the provisions set forth in the CC&Rs, form the
basis and criteria for evaluation of plans and specifications submitted for review and
approval by the Design Review Committee. Any condition or material not defined in the
Restrictions shall become a matter of discretionary judgment on the part of the Design
Review Committee acting in good faith on behalf of the best interests of the Association
as a whole.
The Design Guidelines may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion
of the Design Review Committee or the Board as set forth in the CC&Rs for any
purpose that includes, but may not be limited to, more fully defining their original
intent.

Committee as not meeting the guidelines shall be reworked to meet those guidelines or
removed and the lot Improvements restored and any damage or destruction to common
area caused by such Improvements be repaired or replaced to the condition that existed
prior to commencement of the work by the owner. In the event the owner refuses to
rework, remove and/or restore as called for above, the Design Review Committee shall
request the Board of Directors to cause such rework, removal and/or restoration and the
cost thereof shall be assessed to the owner as provided in Article VII, Section 7.4 of the
Bylaws.
Section 5.2. General Development Guidelines:
(a) Heights:
(i) Dwellings:
Heights of Improvements other than landscaping shall be restricted to the
maximum height of the existing structure and must be compatible with the
intent of the existing structure with respect to massing and enclosure.
(ii) Other Structures:
Maximum height of the occupiable area of all other structures including
patio structures, trellises and gazebos shall be limited to ten (10) feet in
height. All portions of proposed structures that are decorative and
unoccupiable and exceed the ten foot (10) limit are subject to review by
the Design Review Committee.
(b) Setbacks:
Minimum setback guidelines for the community are established in conformance
with the applicable City of Corona building and zoning codes. These guidelines
affect all Improvements, including without limitation, buildings, out-buildings,
garages, carports, pools, recreation facilities, parking areas, awnings, patio
covers, balconies, stairs and decks. In the case of irregular shaped lots or flat
lots, the Design Review Committee may establish front, side and rear yard
setbacks, consistent with the approved minimum guidelines, to allow alternative
siting of Improvements. Freestanding structures shall occupy the lesser of a
maximum of 10% of rear yard area or 150 square feet provided the City of
Corona Planning Department minimum lot coverage requirement has not already
been met. The rear yard area shall be measured from the back of the house to
the rear and side property lines. All freestanding structures, regardless of size,
require approval from the Design Review Committee.
(c) Chimneys:
No chimney may extend higher than the maximum height as required by the
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 12
Building Code of the City of Corona.
(d) Fences and Walls:
Fences, walls and gates shall not be installed, removed, reconstructed, relocated
or modified as to structure, finish or color without the prior written consent of the
Design Review Committee and the City of Corona. The City of Corona’s General
Plan Shall be consulted when new designs are brought before the Design
Review Committee. Double walls constructed side by side shall not be
permitted. (See also Article II, of the CC&Rs). Fences, walls and gates shall not
exceed six (6) feet in height. Retaining walls are subject to the approval of the
Design Review Committee and City of Corona. Such approval shall be as to the
aesthetic appearance of the wall but shall not be deemed to warrant or approve
in any manner the engineering or structural design of the wall. Planter walls
cannot backfill or retain against existing walls. Structural framing and/or
unfinished sides of fences or walls shall not be exposed to any public right of
way, common area or other lot. Side yard return walls shall be masonry with
wood or wrought iron gate, however, all walls, fences and gates must properly
screen any element as required in these guidelines. Wood fences are prohibited.
(1) Side-Yard Walls
The Design Review Committee will approve requests to modify side-yard
walls if the owner first obtains the approval of the adjoining neighbor and
the City of Corona and agrees to construct the wall so that it matches the
existing wall in terms of material, color and height. The existing side yard
walls are slump stone block by Orco Block Co. The color is La Paz. The
specifications shall match the details on the approved fence and wall
plans. The owner must also agree to consult with a professional soils and
structural engineer as to the design of the wall.
(2) Side-Yard Gates
The side yard gates shall be tubular steel to match existing in the tract.
The specification shall match the detail on the approved fence and wall
plans.
(3) Perimeter Walls
The perimeter walls shall be rebuilt to match the existing perimeter walls.
No modifications to the perimeter wall design or location shall be allowed
unless the homeowner gets written permission from the City of Corona
Planning Department and approval from the Design Review Committee.
The Perimeter walls are double-sided split-face Orco block that is grey in
color. The location and design is per the City of Corona’s General Plan as
well as the approved fence and wall plans. The owner must also agree to
consult with a professional soils and structural engineer as to the design of
the wall.
(4) View Fence
No modifications to add additional view fence in lieu of perimeter wall or
side yard wall shall be allowed unless the homeowner gets written
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 13
permission from the City of Corona Planning Department, approval of the
adjoining neighbor(s), and approval from the Design Review Committee.
The Design Review Committee will approve requests to modify rear yard
view fence with perimeter wall if the owner first obtains the approval of the
adjoining neighbor(s) and the City of Corona. The new wall must match
the existing wall in terms of material, color and height. The specifications
shall match the details on the approved fence and wall plans. The owner
must also agree to consult with a professional soils and structural
engineer as to the design of the fence.
(e) Planter Walls:
Building materials used to construct decorative planters should blend in and
compliment the style of the home and match any architectural element such as
stone, brick or stucco on the front exterior. These materials are subject to the
Design Review Committee’s approval. Planter walls cannot backfill or retain
against existing walls. All planter walls shall also have an approved drainage
system located near the wall footing.
(f) Antennae:
No radio station or shortwave operators of any kind shall operate from any lot or
dwelling unit. No outside antenna shall be constructed, erected or maintained at
any time on any lot (except as specifically permitted pursuant to the regulations
of the Federal Communications Commission in promulgating the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Section 1376 of the California Civil Code)
unless they are contained within a building or underground conduits. Appliances
or installations upon the roof of any residential or accessory structure, except for
solar panels or other appliances installed by the builder, shall not be permitted
unless they are approved by the Design Review Committee. All electrical,
mechanical or other equipment on any roof of any building in the properties, shall
be completely screened, so as not to be visible from any portion of the
properties, the Public Parcel, or any other point outside the properties.
(g) Authorized Antennae:
No Authorized Antenna, as defined in Section 2.10 of the CC&Rs shall be
constructed, erected, altered, placed, or permitted to remain on any Lot without
the prior written approval of the Design Review Committee except as specifically
permitted pursuant to the regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission in promulgating the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Section
1376 of the California Civil Code. The size of the Authorized Antenna must be
compatible in scale with its location. Further, an Authorized Antenna will not be
approved by the Design Review Committee unless the Authorized Antenna is
reasonably screened from view by adjacent Lots and common area with the use
of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials chosen by the owner and
approved by the Design Review Committee. The Authorized Antenna must be
screened by landscape that is, or will be, located solely on that owner’s Lot. Any
Authorized Antenna designed to look like a patio umbrella must also receive
approval under these criteria. Any cables must be painted to match the house so
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 14
as to blend in with the surrounding area.
The goal of the Design Review Committee will be to balance the aesthetic
requirements of the community with the reasonable functionality of the
Authorized Antenna. The Committee shall:
(i) Strive to prohibit the location of the Authorized Antenna from the
front yards or portions of the roof that face the front yard.
(ii) Require reasonable screening of the Authorized Antenna from view
by other surrounding properties where the dish is approved for the roof.
Such screening shall be accomplished, for example, by modifying the roof
in order to inset the Authorized Antenna into the existing roofline or by
augmenting the roof structure such that it remains consistent with the
existing form of the roof.
(iii) Require reasonable screening of the Authorized Antenna from view
by surrounding properties where the Authorized Antenna is located in the
yard of a Lot. Such screening shall be accomplished in order of priority
by:
(A) Lowering the grade elevation of the pad supporting the
Authorized Antenna such that the top of the dish shall not exceed
the height of any existing opaque perimeter Lot wall or fence.
(B) Installing landscape materials around the dish to screen the
Authorized Antenna from view.
(C) Installing walls/fences around the dish to screen the
Authorized Antenna from view.
(D) Combination of the above.
(iv) Operate in good faith and in the best interests of the community in
reviewing applications for Authorized Antennae. The Committee shall
require reasonable mitigation of the visibility of the Authorized Antennae in
order to promote aesthetic compatibility of the Authorized Antennae with
the surrounding properties. If it is determined by the Committee that
Authorized Antennae are regulated by City, State, or Federal Agencies
such that these or other Design Guidelines of the ORCHARD GLEN
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION may be limited in their enforceability, the
adoption of these guidelines shall not be construed as an absolute
obligation of the Association to litigate the enforceability of its Design
Guidelines for Authorized Antennae.
(v) All architectural applications concerning Authorized Antennae shall:
(A) Include plot plans showing the location of the Authorized
ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 15
Antenna in relation to adjoining structures;
(B) Specify the “Authorized Antenna’s” shape, height, width,
diameter and shall include a photograph or drawing of the
Authorized Antenna; and
(C) Include a landscaping or fence plan showing the type,
locations, elevation and color (in the case of a fence) of trees,
bushes, shrubs, plants, hedges or fences designed for the purpose
of screening the Authorized Antenna.
The Association will determine if the screening chosen by the
homeowner is appropriate by considering the following criteria:
(1) The effect of the “Authorized Antenna’s” location on
neighboring property;
(2) The location and heights of the “Authorized Antenna”
with respect to visibility, color scheme and aesthetic beauty;
(3) Whether the “Authorized Antenna” conforms and is “in
harmony” of external design with the surrounding and
neighboring structures; and
(4) The location of the “Authorized Antenna” in relation to
the topography, surrounding and natural obstructions, grade
and finished ground elevation of the neighboring property.
(h) Door and Window Coverings:
No visible screen door shall be permitted on any front or main entry door. The
Design Review Committee may permit rollaway-type screen doors after review.
Photographs or brochures or proposed rollaway screen doors must be submitted.
No aluminum, or metal awnings or coverings shall be permitted over windows or
patios. Windows shall not be covered with unsightly material such as aluminum
foil, paint, newspaper, etc. White sheets may be used temporarily until
permanent window coverings are installed. (See also Article II, Section 2.12.3 of
the CC&Rs.)
(i) Exterior Lighting:
No exterior lighting shall be placed or maintained upon any lot so as to cause an
unreasonable glare or illumination upon any other private or common lot.
(j) Clotheslines:
Outside clotheslines shall not be erected, unless they are placed and maintained
so as not to be visible from neighboring properties.

ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 16
All patio structures, sunshades and gazebos shall be constructed according to
the approved beam, rafter and footing specifications of the City of Corona. Patio
covers must be constructed with wood or alumawood (see below regarding solid
alumawood covers) and may have wood, brick, or stucco support columns that
are compatible with the existing dwelling unit materials. Patio covers and patio
cover columns of stucco or wood shall be designed and painted to match the
style and color of the house or the house trim. Solid alumawood covers will
only be considered. Side elevations of shade structure shall not be enclosed in
any manner, except in the case where a wall of a dwelling forms a natural
enclosure to some or all portions of a side elevation. Patio cover may be painted
white or match the stucco color or trim color of the dwelling.
(l) Sundecks:
No sundecks are permitted on or over any portion of a second story roof (e.g..,
crow’s nests etc.). Floor heights for decks are limited to those of the existing
second floor living levels. All sun decks shall be directly accessible from living
unit levels. A sundeck is further defined as a balcony, open porch, etc., which is
attached to the house at second floor level height.
(m) Mailboxes:
The mailboxes will be the responsibility of the Homeowners Association. No
homeowner may change the mailbox they are provided.

ORCHARD GLEN DESIGN GUIDELINES 05/16/18 Page 25
Exhibit B
SWIMMING POOL & SPA – DESIGN & ENGINEERING
The following general geotechnical recommendations are for the design and
construction of pools and spas within the Orchard Glen community. This information
may be given to Landscape Architects and Pool Contractors for the design of your pool.
Homeowners are advised that while soil-related cracking of most exterior concrete slab
and freestanding walls is generally only cosmetic, cracking of pools and spas and the
accompanying leakage can cause damage to adjacent structures as well as outside the
limits of your property. These recommendations are only a guide; a geotechnical
engineer should be consulted to provide specific recommendations for the construction
of your swimming pools and spas.
Particular attention should be given to the design of any pool or spa located close to the
top-of-slope where slope creep is expected. A pressure release valve system should be
included beneath the pool bottom in the design of the pool or spa to protect the pool
from the effects of perched ground water.
The swimming pool and spa shell should be kept outside of the zone supporting building
loads; alternatively, additional loading due to the building structures must be taken into
account for swimming pool and spa design. Monitoring and/or inspection should be
performed for potential distress and/or movement of the building adjacent to a
swimming pool and/or spa due to partial loss of support during excavation. The need
for shoring or support for the building during swimming pool and/or spa excavation
should also be taken into consideration.
No unlined planters should be placed in the immediate vicinity of the swimming pool
and/or spa. No elevated planters or additional soils should be placed near the pool and
spa without the review of a geotechnical engineer.
Homeowners should consult and hire a licensed professional engineer and contractor.
These recommendations are general guidelines and should not substitute for specific
design recommendations for your pool and/or spa.
