DESIGN GUIDELINES
OF
BRAMBLERIDGE VILLAGE PATIO HOMES ASSOCIATION, INC.
1.0
OVERVIEW
All homeowners should have a copy of the BrambleRidge Village Patio Homes Association Declaration of Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions ("BRV-CCR's") which contains broad, general objectives regarding the architectural control in the BrambleRidge
Village community. These objectives, simply stated, are to keep the community attractive for the enjoyment of homeowners and
the protection of property values.
The covenants provide for the formation of an Architectural Review Committee (ARC'). A minimum of three (3) representatives
must be appointed by the Board of Directors of the BrambleRidge Village Patio Homes Association. Of course, there may be
additional members appointed to the ARC Committee with a limit of five (5) members total. Any changes to the ARC membership
must be approved by the Board of Directors ("Board"). Members of the Architectural Review Committee appointed by the Board
may be removed at any time by the Board. Terms, to begin January 1st through December 31st of each year; if three (3) members,
two (2) members will serve for a two year term and one (1) member will serve a 1 year term; if five (5) members, three (3)
members will serve for a two year term and two (2) members will serve a one (1) year term, or until resignation or removal by the
Board.
For purposes of this document, the ARC referred to herein consists of the ARC Committee members appointed by the
Board.
The ARC is not liable in damage to any person submitting requests for approvals or to any homeowner within the Common
Interest Community by reason of any loss, damage, or injury arising out of or in any way connected with the performance of the
duties of the ARC, unless due to the willful misconduct of the party to beheld liable. In reviewing any matter, the ARC shall not be
responsible for reviewing, nor shall its approval of an Improvement be deemed approval of the Improvement from the standpoint
of health, welfare, or safety, whether structural or otherwise, or conformance with building codes or other governmental laws or
regulations.
Guidelines for Improvements that Require Architectural Review Committee Approval
An Improvement is defined in the BRV-CCR's Definitions (page 4, Item 15) as: "Improvements" means all exterior improvements,
structures, and any appurtenances thereto or components thereof of every type or kind, and all landscaping features, including but
not limited to buildings, outbuildings, swimming pools, tennis courts, patios, patio covers, awnings, solar collectors, painting or
other finish materials on any visible structure or surface, additions, walkways, sprinkler systems, garages, carports, driveways,
fences, screening walls, retaining walls, stairs, decks, landscaping, hedges, windbreaks, plantings, trees, shrubs, flowers,
vegetables, sod, gravel, bark, exterior light fixtures, poles, signs, exterior tanks, and exterior air conditioning, cooling, heating and
water softening equipment". Other examples include, but are not limited to, antenna and satellite receivers, outdoor sculptures or
artwork, storm doors, security doors, windows, storm windows and siding.
Design Review Expenses
The ARC may require the reimbursement of actual expenses incurred by the Committee in the review and approval process
(BRV-CCR's. Article V, Item 2). Such amounts, if any, shall be assessed to the homeowner requesting the Improvement.
Design Guidelines and Rules/Regulations Manual
The BrambleRidge Village Patio Homes Management Company will send out a copy of this Design Guidelines Rules/Regulations
Manual with the Welcome Packet within approximately thirty (30) days after they are notified of a closing and/or property
transfer.

ARC REVIEW PROCEDURE
Any decision of the Architectural Review Committee will be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of all materials required by
the ARC, unless such time period is extended by mutual agreement. In the event the ARC Committee fails to take action within
thirty (30) days after a request has been submitted and all information has been received by the committee, approval will be
deemed denied per BRV-CCR's, Article V, Item 3. The homeowner will have the right to appeal any decision by the ARC,
pursuant to Section 4.0 below of these Guidelines.
A simple majority vote of the ARC will be required for approval or disapproval of proposed improvements delegated to the ARC
Committee's authority. Written records will be maintained of all applications submitted to it and of all actions taken.

HOMEOWNER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
The ARC has adopted the following procedure to comply with the responsibility to review applications for approval:
1)
Submit ONE (1) complete copy of the BrambleRidge Village Patio Homes Architectural Review Application with the
appropriate forms, including copies of relevant drawings and descriptions explaining your proposal. A planned completion date
must be specified.
Send the submittal to:
Signature Management Services
Attention; Rebecca -- BrambleRidge Village ARC
4 West Dry Creek Circle - Suite 215 Littleton, CO 80120
For painting or building modifications (such as, deck expansions, patio covers, etc.) see Paint Specifications in Appendix A and
the applicable submission forms in the Exhibits. These forms MUST BE COMPLETED and submitted with the Architectural
Review Application package.
2)
The documentation will be accepted as complete, or it will be returned with a description of missing information.
Incomplete submittals do not qualify for the 30-day review period. A revised submittal will initiate a new 30 day review period.
All requests must be submitted with a plot plan and should be drawn to scale, as close as possible. Plot plans should depict the
property lines of the lot and the outside boundary lines of the home as located on the lot. Drainage patterns should also be
indicated with directional arrows. A plan, as well as a profile view, if appropriate, is helpful. Use a copy of the improvement
survey or plot plan of your lot, obtained when you purchased your home, as the basis for such plan drawings. Please include
dimensions, colors, samples and/or descriptions of materials to be used in detail to aid the ARC in reviewing your request.
3)
The ARC will evaluate your proposals compliance with these Design Guidelines and Rules/Regulations (see the Specific
Project Guidelines section in this manual), as well as its overall conformance with our community schemes.
4)
You will be notified of the ARC’s decision (approval, approval with conditions, referral to the Board, or disapproval) on
or before the expiration of the thirty (30) day review period. The ARC may reasonably extend this deadline if the proposal from
the Owner is complex or requires input from experts. Should this occur, the request will be denied pending further review and/or
receipt of materials requested.
5)
Upon completion of your Improvement notify BRV’s Management Company in writing, so that the Improvement may be
inspected in order to determine whether or not it is, in substantial compliance with the approval granted. A representative of the
ARC shall have the right to inspect the Improvement within thirty (30) days after written notification from the homeowner is
received to verify compliance with the approved plan.
4.0
APPEAL PROCESS IF PROPOSAL IS DENIED
A homeowner may exercise his/her right to appeal in the event of an adverse decision by the ARC.
ARC DENIALS
1) The first step of the appeal process (within thirty (30) days after receipt of the declination) is to make a written request to
BrambleRidge’s Management Company to set up an Appeal Meeting, to appear before the ARC Committee. At the appeal
meeting, the applicant may then discuss with ARC reasons why their application request should be reconsidered.
2) If the ARC declines such submission request again at the appeal meeting, then the applicant shall have the right to an appeal of
such decision to the Board. The applicant shall then submit a written request for a Board Appeal Meeting to BrambleRidge’s
Management Company within (30) days after such decision by the ARC. The Management Company will then set up a meeting
with the Board and shall inform the applicant of the date and time for the meeting.
2
3)
At the Board Appeal Meeting, the applicant may then address reasons why the application request should be approved.
The Board may then review and discuss the application request among themselves, or with the ARC. The Board will then make a
decision regarding the appeal and this decision shall be FINAL as it relates to the proposal presented.
4)
If the initial proposal is denied, the Homeowner may submit a revised proposal that is in line with this Design Guidelines
and Rules/Regulations Manual and then start the process all over again as a new submission.
5.0
REVIEW CRITERIA
As stated in the BRV-CCR’s Article V, Item 2, the ARC and/or Board shall approve a proposed Improvement only if it deems, in
its reasonable judgment, that all of the improvements conform to and harmonize with the existing surroundings, residences,
landscaping and structures.
The ARC and/or Board shall evaluate all submissions on the merits of the application. Besides evaluation of the particular design
proposal, this includes consideration of the characteristics of the housing type and the individual site.
Design decisions made by the ARC in reviewing applications are not based on personal opinion or tastes. Judgments of acceptable
design are based on the following criteria, which are presented in more specific terms in the Project Guidelines section of this
manual.
1.
Compliance with Covenants. All applications are reviewed to confirm that the proposed Improvement is in conformance
with the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for BRV-CCR's.
2.
Relation to the Natural Environment. Fencing, in particular, can have damaging effects on the feeling of open space.
Other factors, such as disruption of the natural topography and changes in the rate or direction of storm water run-off can also
affect the natural environment. Owners must take into consideration the impact, if any, that their proposed improvement will have
on the natural environment.
3.
Validity of Concept. The basic idea must be sound and appropriate to its surroundings.
4.
Design Compatibility. The proposed Improvement must be compatible with the architectural characteristics of the
applicant's home, adjacent houses, and the neighborhood setting. Compatibility is defined as similarity in architectural style,
quality of workmanship, similar use of materials, color and construction details.
5.
Location and Impact on Neighbors. The proposed Improvement should relate favorably to the landscape, the existing
structure and the neighborhood. Primary concerns are access, drainage, sunlight, noise and ventilation. When a proposed
Improvement has possible impacts on adjacent properties, the ARC may require that the applicant discuss the proposal with his/her
immediate neighbors prior to making a decision on the proposal. It may also be appropriate and expedient, in some cases, to
submit all the neighbor comments along with the application. This does not mean that neighbor approval is required prior to
submitting the request, but merely to note that the ARC has the exclusive authority to approve, disapprove or require additional
data at its discretion.
6.
Scale. The size, in three dimensions, of the proposed Improvement should relate well to adjacent structures and its
surroundings. For example, a large addition to a small house may be inappropriate.
7.
Color. Color maybe used to soften or intensify visual impact Parts of an addition that are similar to the existing house,
such as roofs and trim, must be matching in color. Refer to PAINTING Section 6.24 on page 10.
8.
Materials. Continuity is established by use of the same or compatible materials as were used in the original house. The
options may be limited somewhat by the design and materials of the original house. For example, vertical wood siding on the
original house must be reflected in an addition.
3
9.
Workmanship. Workmanship is another standard which is applied to all exterior alterations. The quality of work should
be equal to or better than that of the surrounding area. Poor practices, besides causing the owner problems, can also cause safety
hazards. The ARC and the Association assume no responsibility for the safety of new construction by virtue of its review and
decision on a proposed Improvement.
10.
Timing. Improvements may be built or installed by residents themselves, rather than a contractor, provided such work is
done in a professional workmanship like manner. However, approved Improvements which remain incomplete for long periods of
time are visually objectionable and can be a nuisance and safety hazard for neighbors and the community. All applications must
include estimated completion dates. If an Improvement remains incomplete for longer than 12 months (1 year) then the
Improvement will be considered to be in non-compliance. Refer to Article V, Item 6 of the BRV-CCR’s.
NOTE: The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) will review and approve all items relating to the individual Homeowner Lots.
The Board exclusively must review and approve all items relating to the Common Areas within BrambleRidge Village Patio
Flumes.

any neighboring properties, provided such location does not preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal. All Antennas shall
be ground mounted, or as low to the ground as possible, and must be blended with the background upon which they are placed by
painting the Antenna the same color as the house or otherwise screening the Antenna from view from any street(s) or adjacent
properties with appropriate landscaping or other materials. Wiring or cabling shall be installed so as to be minimally visible and
blend into the material to which it is attached.
No Antenna shall be placed in a location where it blocks fire exits, walkways, ingress or egress from an area, fire lanes, fire hoses,
fire extinguishers, safety equipment, electrical panels, or other items or areas necessary for the safe operation of the Association or
individual units. No Antenna shall be attached to fencing shared between lots or common areas. No Antenna may obstruct a
driver's view of an intersection or a street.
To the extent that interpretation of these provisions is necessary, such interpretation will be undertaken by the Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) in full compliance with all Federal, State and local statutes and regulations, as may be supplemented or
amended from time to time.

addition, alteration, or direction change.
Any change to the drainage flow, direction, manner, etc. may require Douglas County approval. For example, retaining walls in
easements or drainage ways may present a problem. Applicants are strongly urged to consult with the Douglas County Engineering
Department on any proposed Improvement that may affect drainage. ARC approval does not imply approval by Douglas County.
Homeowners re-routing lot drainage may incur liability for damage to property of adjacent and nearby owners and may also void
structural warrantees.

6.20
LANDSCAPING TREES ADDITION OR REMOVAL VEGETABLE GARDENS SHRUBS AND
PLANTS: Landscaping has been installed by the builder/developer, except for the owner's private landscape area. See below for
Landscape requirements.
6.20-1) LANDSCAPE BORDERS: All borders installed around trees, shrubs, plants, flower beds, etc., located on
landscape sod or any other area anywhere within BrambleRidge Village, MUST NOT be above ground level and should be of the
flexible material designed for such purpose. If using decorative bricks or payers, they must be installed flush at ground level and
cannot be raised. Rocks, stones, wire fence, or other materials that extend above ground level on the landscape sod area that is

landscaping to be installed by the owner on the designated private landscape area. Submit a detailed plan of what is to be planted
or constructed in this area.
6.20-3) HOME FRONT AND SIDE AREAS: ARC approval is required for all additional or any change of the
landscaping around the perimeter of the home.
6.20-4) COMMON AREAS: No change, addition or alteration of existing common area landscaping is permitted
without the Board Approval.
Requirements:
8
a) Should the Homeowner want to plant any additional trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, etc., on any of the common areas, or want to
plant trees on his/her own lot to he maintained by the HOA, the Homeowner(s) must execute and submit a Landscape Agreement
to the ARC for review and recommendation for final approval by the Board of Directors.
b) All landscape planting, clearing, or removing of trees, shrubs, grass or plants from the Common Area, even when such work is
performed h the landscaping contractor, must he approved by the Board.
Guidelines:
All landscaping has been installed by the builder/developer in accordance with the BrambleRidge Village landscape plan.
Landscaping installed by the builder will be maintained by the BrambleRidge Village Patio Homes Association, and may not be
altered without resets and approval of ARC or the Board.
It is important that nothing is installed on the grass/sod areas of the homes that may interfere with the regular maintenance
performed by our landscape contractors, sprinklers, or the designed drainage patterns.
The owner will be responsible for maintaining owner installed landscaping within the residents’ private landscape area (see
BRV-CCR's Article IX, Item 16).
Foundation plantings should not be placed within five feet (5') of the foundation of the house. Decorative rock is a far better choice
than grass and shrubs in these areas. If evergreen shrubbery and grass is used within five feet (5') of the foundation walls, all
irrigation should be by 'controlled' hand watering by the homeowner. Avoid excessive watering at all times. Excessive watering
near the foundation of the home may adversely effect the foundation and may void structural warrantees. Homeowners should
instruct landscape contractors that the dumping of rock, bark or other landscape materials on the streets, driveways and sidewalks
of BrambleRidge Village is PROHIBITED.
6.21
LIGHTS and LIGHTING: Ornamental garage lights either installed by the builder or consistent with the
original builder's design do not require ARC approval. Temporary holiday lighting does not require approval (Refer to Seasonal
Decorations, Section 6.34 below).
All other exterior lighting such as post lights, spotlights, security floodlights or strobes, solar lights and other low voltage ground
lighting (along drives and walkways, accent soft lighting, etc.) DOES REQUIRE ARC approval.
6.22
MISCELLANEOUS MATERIAL STORAGE: No materials, such as building and miscellaneous garden
supplies, may be stored on the front, driveway, side or back of home invisible view. (Refer to Section 6.42, Storage Deck
Box/Bin/Unit).
6.23
ORNAMENTAL/DECORATIVE ITEMS: Any Ornamental/Decorative Item not mentioned herein, must be
submitted to ARC for approval.
Guidelines:
Yard ornaments, outdoor sculptures, flower boxes, flower benches, flower posts, flower pots, natural items such as driftwood,
small rocks and similar items used for decorative or hobby purposes, airborne devices (as defined in "d" below), hanging baskets,
wind chimes, etc., are permitted subject to the following restrictions:
a) Ornamental and decorative items should be installed and maintained on patios and porches.
b) Small ornamental/decorative items and only those which have minimal impact on their surroundings, may be placed in the
gravel perimeter of the Owner's Unit. No such item may conflict with the landscaping, alter drainage, block or divert the watering
or irrigation system, present a material disruption to the architecture of the community, impede maintenance conducted by the
Association or introduce real or potential costs or liability to the Association. In addition, such stems may not pose a safety hazard
or block access to common areas. Additionally, owners must prevent these items from deteriorating or becoming unsightly.
c) No items of this nature are permitted in the grassy areas of the community. Owners will be asked to remove or bring into
compliance any items which do not conform to these criteria.
9
d) Airborne devices, artwork and ornamentation such as windsocks, decorative flags, mobiles, hanging baskets, art work, wind
chimes, etc., may be displayed only from porches and patios so long as they do not create a nuisance condition, impede the
performance of maintenance or materially disrupt the architecture of the unit or the community.
The prudent judgment of the homeowner must be exercised when displaying any decorative flags, airborne devices, artwork or
ornamentation. All miscellaneous improvements that do not conform to the above guidelines will require ARC approval.
6.24
PAINTING: ARC approval is not required for repainting of your home in the identical, original color(s). Refer
to Appendix A. Any color change does require ARC approval. Complete the "Exterior Paint Request Form" for submission and
review by ARC. It is the Homeowner's responsibility to ensure that the exterior paint on the home is maintained in good condition.
(See BRV-CCR's Article VIII, Item 1(d). Also, the Homeowner is subject to BRV-CCR's Article VIII, Item 2).
Special Considerations: The current BrambleRidge Village Color Palette (found in Appendix A) provides for a wide variety of
subtle combinations of field and trim colors that are within a family of hues. The intent is to provide the homeowner with the
opportunity to have a combination of colors that appeal to their aesthetic desires and, at the same time, compliment adjacent
homes. Again, if repainting with the identical original tome colors, approval is not required.
The BrambleRidge Village selection list of approved color combinations is based on the original colors selected by the builder.
The list gives you the opportunity to simply select colors that have been previously approved within the community. Should you
find that a specific field or trim color is not contained in the list, you may submit your specific colors as your request, and if the
ARC determines that your colors are compatible with the BrambleRidge Village color palette, your request will be approved.
As time passes, tastes change. Colors used during the original development may no longer be in vogue. It is the ARC's intent to
maintain a contemporary color selection that satisfies the majority of homeowners. It is a responsibility of the ARC to assure that
new colors will not adversely affect the existing approved paint palette and colors in use.
Guidelines:
a) Color: Acceptable colors are those combinations identified on the BrambleRidge Village Color Palette, found in Appendix A.
Specific trim colors go with specific field colors. Adjacent house colors affect the field colors that may be approved. It is
imperative that clusters of similar field colors are avoided.
If you are submitting color names that the ARC is unfamiliar with, please provide one (1) set of all color chips of field, trim,
garage door and front door colors with your request.
Caution: You are responsible for the color of your home. If you contract the job, make sure that you are protected if the
contractor's work fails to match the approved paint colors. You maybe in violation of the CCR's if the contractor does not match
the approved color.
b) Permanence: Expect 3-5 years of wear between paintings. You will likely find the trim deteriorating more quickly than the field,
especially for those areas that receive frequent exposure to sunlight
6.25
PARKING: The following shall apply to parking of vehicles within the Community:
