 Architectural Control

              1.1       There is hereby created an Architectural Control Committee (the “Committee”), which shall be composed of three (3) members.  Each member shall serve until his successor is named, as provided herein, and shall be as named in the attached Appendix I.  (See 2002 Amendment)

 A majority of the Committee may designate a representative to act for it.  In the event of the death or resignation of any member of the Committee, the remaining members shall have full authority to designate and appoint a successor.  No member of the Committee, or its designated representative, shall be entitled to any compensation for services performed hereunder.  The record owners of a majority of the Lots in such addition shall have the power, at any time, to file a duly recorded written instrument to change the membership of the Committee, to withdraw powers and duties from the Committee, or to restore the powers and duties of the Committee.  Such action shall be effective upon recordation of a written document properly reflecting the same.

             1.2       It shall be the general purpose of the committee to provide for maintenance of high standards of architecture and construction in such a manner as to enhance the aesthetic properties and structural soundness of the developed Subdivision.  The Committee shall be guided by and, except when in their sole discretion good planning would dictate to the contrary, controlled by this Declaration.  The judgment of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding.

             1.3       No building, fence, wall or other structure shall be erected, in the Subdivision; nor shall any exterior addition to, or change or alteration be made; nor shall any landscaping on any Lot or Lots that would affect drainage or utility easements be undertaken until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials and location of the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing by, the Committee as to harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding structures and, topography.  The Committee may refuse to accept or may require changes, deletions or revisions in such plans and specifications in order to insure that the architectural and general appearance of all buildings and grounds be in conformity with this Declaration and the general appearance of the Subdivision, and that such plans and specifications are not detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community.  Refusal of approval of plans and specifications or required changes, deletions or revisions in same may be based upon any reasonable grounds, including purely aesthetic grounds, which in the sole discretion of the Committee shall be deemed conclusive and controlling.

             1.4       In the event that any plans and specifications are submitted to the Committee as provided herein, and the Committee shall fail either to approve or reject such plans and specifica­tions for a period of thirty (30) days following such submission, approval by the Committee shall be deemed to have been obtained.

             1.5       The Committee shall determine whether the provisions contained in the Declaration are being complied with; however, no act or failure or refusal of the Committee to initiate action to challenge a real or threatened violation of this Declara­tion or otherwise to act on its own initiative, shall be deemed to constitute waiver of any right or duty of the Committee at any time or from time to time thereafter to initiate such action and/or enforce compliance with this Declaration.  The Committee may act or refuse to act in any real or threatened violation of his Declaration, all in the exercise of its sole discretion.

             1.7       Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, it shall remain the prerogative and in the jurisdiction of the Committee to review applications and grant approvals for exceptions to the provisions herein.  Variations from these requirements and, in general, other forms of deviations from these restrictions imposed hereby, may be made when and only when such exceptions, variances and deviations do not in any way detract from the appearance of the premises, and are not in any way detrimental to the public welfare or to the property of other persons located in the vicinity hereof, all in the sole opinion of the Committee.

             1.8       The Committee may from time to time adopt certain reasonable building and construction standards which will govern the standards by which all improvements in the Subdivision will be constructed.  The Committee shall adopt such standards and shall make copies of same available to the owners of Lots in the Subdivision upon request.  The Committee may modify or amend such building standards from time to time as in their sole discretion they shall deem appropriate.
