DESERT RIDGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION By purchasing property at Desert Ridge, you became a member of the Desert Ridge Community Association. The Desert Ridge Community Association Board of Directors and Master Developer oversees all activity within the Desert Ridge Master Planned Community. The Board is also responsible for appointing the DRDRC. The DRDRC’s role is to assure the high quality of living and maintain high property values at Desert Ridge through conformance to the Design Guidelines. DESERT RIDGE SPECIFIC PLAN Desert Ridge is a 5,700-acre Master Planned Community. It is the first of its kind in the State of Arizona in that it is the first development to fall under a “Specific Plan”.

FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED TO SUBMIT TO THE DRDRC PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR MODIFICATION 6 Northeast Phoenix Partners, the Master Developer, has undertaken the planning effort subject to the direct supervision of the Arizona State Land Department. The Desert Ridge Specific Plan seeks to create and implement a desert community through the sensitive integration into the existing Sonoran Desert by controlling all aspects of development. Strict design review standards governing site design, vegetation preservation, grading, architecture, landscape architecture, signage, etc. will ensure a quality of development that will establish the standards of Desert Ridge. CITY OF PHOENIX The Specific Plan is the governing land use document of the City of Phoenix for Desert Ridge. It provides the underlying zoning controls of the Village Center and resort areas, establishes the future planning framework and subsequent zoning processes for the balance of the project and specifies the phasing and construction of infrastructure necessary to serve the area. STATE OF ARIZONA All buildings and structures erected within the Fireside at Desert Ridge, and the use and appearance of all land within Fireside at Desert Ridge, shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, County and City of Phoenix Zoning and Code requirements as well as the CC&R’s effective June 14, 2006 and all Amendments therein.

The location of the improvement with respect to topography and finished grade elevation is also considered. Neither the DRDRC, nor the Board of Directors, nor the Declarant shall have any liability in connection with or related to approved plans, specifications, or improvements. The approval of the plans does not mean that judgment is passed on the structural soundness of the improvement nor its effect upon existing or future drainage. The review of the plans is for aesthetic purposes only. Approval Expiration: Other than initial Landscape installation, construction must be started within 90 days of the date of the DRDRC’s approval of the application, or the DRDRC’s approval shall be deemed withdrawn and plans must be resubmitted in accordance with these Rules.

Grades along party walls and fences must be maintained unless grade changes are approved by the DRDRC. Fine grading is a critical aspect of landscaping. Each lot has been graded such that all storm water will drain away from the house. It is important that this drainage pattern is maintained when preparing the landscape design, especially if mounding or berming is proposed. In all cases, the installation must comply with the City approved grading and drainage plan. Every effort should be made to make mounding appear natural. Mounding and berming within an area measured seven (7) feet behind the back of the curb along the entire lot is discouraged. No mounding having a slope greater than 3:1 horizontal to vertical will be accepted. All mounding, berming and grading should appear natural. Mounding or bermed areas must be covered with groundcover (i.e. granite or ground cover plants).

Boulders should be used as an accent. Boulders or any other coarse landscape rock may not cover more than 10% of the landscape and large massings are discouraged. Visible rip-rap (heavy cracked stone used for erosion control) is not allowed in front or visible yards, but “coarse landscape rock” may be allowed based on the submittal of a sample for approval. Coarse landscape rock may be used in front yards for drainage purposes only. Acceptable colors are: Autumn Gold, Palomino Gold, or Desert Brown. Size shall be 3” – 6”. Native rock, pit run rock, or river run rock may be allowed. Color samples shall be submitted to the DRDRC for approval. FOLLOWING THESE GUIDELINES DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED TO SUBMIT TO THE DRDRC PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR MODIFICATION 17 MAINTENANCE Each Owner, at Owner’s sole cost, shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of all landscaping on the Owner’s Lot or Parcel.

All landscaping shall be maintained in good condition, including but not limited to irrigation, mowing, fertilization, shrub and tree pruning, pest and disease control and trash removal. Dead, damaged or dying plant materials and damaged or deteriorating structural elements shall be replaced as soon as possible when an unsightly or potentially hazardous condition becomes apparent. If such maintenance is not performed by the Owner, the DRDRC may enforce these guidelines using the procedures described in Article 13.4 of the CC&R's. Owners are responsible for dust, erosion, and weed control of their Lots or Parcels. This will ensure the highest quality of life for all Desert Ridge residents and visitors. The DRDRC and/or the Property Management Company shall have the right to inspect the DRDRC-approved improvement during and after construction to monitor compliance with the approved plans and conditions. The owner shall grant access to rear yard areas within one (1) week of request by the DRDRC or Property Management Company.
