ATTACHMENT B
INDIAN SPRINGS RANCH
Eureka, Montana
DESIGN GUIDELINES
1) Introduction and Overview
Indian Springs Ranch is a golf and active lifestyle community located next to state lands in the quaint
town of Eureka, Montana. The natural environment consists of broad grassy meadows with foothills
from softly rolling to steep, several ponds, a wooded area and a spring-fed creek running through
the center of the property. These beautiful and peaceful surroundings must be carefully nurtured to
support the planned Indian Springs lifestyle. The use of native plant species in the landscaping
process is strongly encouraged in order to blend in with the natural grasslands.
An estimated 350 home sites are planned in an approximate 450 acre area. The overall intent is to
create a community where families, singles, empty nesters (retired or working), can live in a
neighborhood setting where children can play safely, couples can walk together, friends can share a
game of golf, and fitness enthusiasts have room to roam. In harmony with the natural landscape, all
can enjoy the spectacular scenery, the climate, and the multitude of recreational opportunities year
round.
Planned offerings for an active lifestyle include a golf course with extensive practice facility and
walking trails for birdwatchers and wildlife lovers.
The Design Guidelines introduced in these pages are to provide an overall framework for residential
design in Indian Springs Ranch. The guidelines are intended to:
a) Preserve and maintain the inherent qualities of the Indian Springs Ranch environment.
b) Guide potential homeowners and builders to plan home designs meeting the intent of the
community with architectural design, landscape design and site planning.
c) Preserve quality, integrity, individuality and enduring value for every Owner.
d) Explain the approval process for home design reviews and construction regulations.
2) Jurisdictional Review and Approval
a) Approval of any project by the DRC does not waive the requirement for permits from local
governing agencies, State of Montana, or any other governmental or quasi-governmental
agency having jurisdiction in Indian Springs Ranch. Nor does the obtaining of all required
permits from local, State of Montana, or any other governmental or quasi-governmental agency
having jurisdiction waive the need for the DRC approval.
b) The Indian Springs Ranch Design Review Committee will not knowingly approve a project that
violates jurisdictional building or zoning codes. The DRC takes no responsibility for plan's
conformance to any criteria other than these Guidelines.
c) Pursuant to Indian Springs Ranch’s Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC&R’s), a Design Review Committee (DRC) will enforce these Design Guidelines.

3) The following items must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee process
before construction begins to ensure guidelines are met:
a) All Lots and Parcels located within the development
b) Each home, shed, drainage/grade plans and any additions to the property.
c) The Design Review Process and Application form appear in the last section of this document.
4) Membership
a) All property Owners are members of the Indian Springs Ranch Homeowners Association (ISRA)
and thereby are subject to the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR’s), and the Bylaws
and Rules of ISRA.
b) The membership and responsibilities of membership also extend to all individuals leasing
property from Indian Springs Ranch property Owners and to Builders who purchase Lots for the
purpose of building custom homes.
c) The Developer and ISRA reserve the right to:
i) Place liens on properties for unpaid fines.
ii) Seek Temporary Restraining Orders for violations of any provision of these Design
Guidelines, CCR’s or ISRA Bylaws.
iii) Use any other remedy available to them under law and/or equity including attorney fees.
5) Design Objectives
a) To retain the natural grassland and rolling foothills feel of Indian Springs Ranch. The homes,
recreation facilities, and features must not overcome the natural environment. Integrating
topography, trees, vegetation and other natural features of the land is critically important.
Accordingly, each home should be oriented and designed in response to the individual
characteristics of its site and the site as a whole.
6) General Guidelines Overview
a) Buildings at Indian Springs Ranch should be low profile, below or matching the skyline when
viewed from a distance, and maintaining sight lines to hills, mountains, woodlands and
watercourses. In short, buildings should blend in, rather than stand out. In general, height
restrictions will limit buildings to 25’ above natural grade or 1-1/2 stories, although some sites
may allow two stories.
b) The exterior shape and design of homes should complement the natural environment.
c) The colors and materials of buildings/homes in Indian Springs Ranch must also complement the
natural environment. This can be achieved with materials appropriate colors. Appropriate
colors include the muted color tones visible in the grasslands, hills and mountains. Harsh
artificial materials and primary colors will not achieve this intent.
d) The landscaping around the finished home must complete the blending of home and land and
provide for proper drainage.
e) Montana Water Rights dictate the maximum volume of irrigation water permissible per historic
usage. Maximum square footage of irrigated grass per lot(s) is:
i) Residential home: 7000 square feet
ii) Duplex lot per side: 3000 square feet
iii) The design review committee can make an exception to the above maximums for large or
irregular shaped lots.
f) Indian Springs Ranch infrastructure includes a community potable water system, irrigation
system and sewer drainage system. All Lot Owners are required to connect to this system and
to purchase and install a septic tank for their personal Home.
g) Prior to any lot excavation, development or construction, the Owner’s architectural and
drainage/grade plans must be reviewed by the DRC. The Design Review Application is provided
at the end of these Design Guidelines and may also be provided by the business office at Indian
Springs Ranch.

7) Building Envelope and Buildings
a) On each site, a Building Envelope will be established to define the area in which a home and any
accessory buildings such as garages and septic tank must be sited. Setbacks from lot lines to
Building Envelope and septic tank will vary with the specific natural features of individual sites.
General Setbacks include 15’ minimum from the road, and 10’ minimum from any adjoining
property. A lot near a waterway will have a Building Envelope set back from the water to limit
the impact on established wildlife habitats. Minor natural areas and washes are important
biological habitats and should be preserved.
b) No more than one home and one guest house may be constructed on any Residential Lot.
c) No more than one indoor kitchen and one laundry facility will be permitted per lot.
d) Where permitted, a guest house should be designed as a single visual element with the Home
and should be visually connected by walls, courtyard or other major landscape elements.

community water system.
b) Normal water usage fees are part of the ISRA overall monthly fee.
c) A properly sized septic tank will be placed on the lot with minimum setbacks of 10 feet from

landscape. The successful residential landscape gracefully transitions from the design elegance
of the structures within the Building Envelope to the inherent rural qualities of the region.
Native landscaped materials, plants, trees, grasses, features, etc. are to be preserved and
protected. Natural prairie grasses, trees and turf grasses, over the entire Lot, should be
