Architectural Review Board

Important policy changes. See Below

landscaping throughout the community. At the present time the committe members include:

Dwight Kehoe, Chair Larry Pairitz Cliff Lingsch Dan Lyons Bill Adair Tom Savage Larry Larkin

Architectural/Aesthetic Criteria

The new Covenants grant authority to the ARB to propose written Architectural/Aesthetic Criteria
for the Lots subject to the Declaration. In addition to some of the specific requirements which are
set forth in the Declaration, the criteria are to set forth such things as landscape material,
color and materials which the ARB finds acceptable. The criteria recommended by the ARB must be
accepted by the Board in order to be effective. The ARB recommends that this document, or something
similar to it, once it is approved by the Board, be distributed to new Lot owners during the
interview session.

Requirements contained in the Covenants:

Structural Requirements o for Mobile Homes 1. Minimum 24 feet wide and 36 feet long. 2. Minimum 864
square feet of living space. 3. Minimum elevation of 16 inches and maximum of 20 inches. 4.
Requires skirt enclosure and hurricane tie down. o Residences 1. No more than one story in height.
2. Minimum of 1,000 square feet of living area. 3. Requires two car garage. 4. Requires a concrete
driveway. o Note: Plans submitted for both Mobile Homes and Residences must contain other
information which is not included in this document but is contained in the Declaration of
Covenants.

Lawns: Non-constructed areas must be covered by lawns and landscaping. For example, stones, in lieu
of grass, will not be approved.

Fences: No fences or walls will be allowed, except for limited exceptions as provided for in
Section 7.13 of the Covenants (see below.).

Hedges: No hedge higher than three feet will be allowed unless it is located within three feet of
the home, except for limited exceptions as provided in Section 7.14 of the Covenants (See below.).

Yard Lights and Mailbox*: Must be installed and in a manner and shape consistent with others in the
specific neighborhood.

Additional Requirements for both Mobile Homes and Residences:

Color: Only pastel colors will be acceptable for the base color (excluding trim) of a home. Samples
of approved colors from various manufacturers are available in the Clubhouse. Pastel colors being a
soft subdued color.

Landscape: No plants or trees should be planted which would interfere with the illumination from
the required yard light. No plants or trees may be planted in the easement between the sidewalk and
the street. No plants or trees may be planted on or near the property line that would eventually
encroach on the neighbors property.

Materials: Residences, excluding mobile homes, must be primarily of Concrete, Block and Stucco
construction unless an exception is recommended by the ARB and is approved by the Board of
Directors.

Additional Criteria for Architectural Review Board approved by the Board of Directors April 28,
1998

The installation of satellite dish antennas shall be consistent with the aesthetic requirement of
the Governing Documents of the Rivera Golf Estates. Plans for such installations shall be submitted

Criteria for Architectural Review Board approved by the Board of Directors June 13, 2003

Fences, enclosures, and walls (around A/C units, waste containers, mechanical services, etc.) are
not to exceed 54 inches in height and must be sturdily built of approved materials.

A. Approved Materials Include: · cement block or · plastic, or · wood. · No wire fencing is

E. Landscaping, especially trees, to be planted not to obscure neighbor's views. All outside
structures including walkways, patios, etc. must be presented to the office, reviewed by the ARB
Board with the final approval being made by the Board of Directors. This includes all of the items
mentioned in this document.

In order to allow adequate time to review plans submitted by Lot owners and obtain Board approval
of ARB recommendations, we feel that three weeks is required to complete the review process.

If additional information is required by the Board of Directors, please let one of the ARB members
know. We understand that these criteria must be sent to the residents for review prior to adoption
by the Board. If we can assist in that process, please, let us know.

*Board Changes effective January 21, 1997: Recognizing the impossibility of attaining uniformity
with respect to mail boxes, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to eliminate mail boxes from
the requirements of Item 5 of the B Criteria.

from the DECLARATION OF PROTECTIVE COVENANTS -

7.13 Fences: Walls. No fence or wall of any size, shape or material shall be allowed on any Lot
without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors and the Architectural Review Board
(ARB). The term "fence" shall be broadly construed and shall include any and all enclosures,
trellises, lattices or any similar structure. Fences and walls must comply with the ARB, guidelines
as approved by the Board of Directors from time to time. Fences up to a height allowed by law are
allotted on Lot lines that border the perimeter of the community other than Lot lines that border
Riviera Golf Course.

7.14 Hedges. No hedge greater than three (3) feet in height shall be allowed on any Lot unless it
is located within three (3) feet of a Residence or utility shed. A variance on hedge height, at a
height approved by the board, to residents adjacent to cart paths from holes 6 - 7, 8 - 9, and 17 -
18 and the homes adjacent to the County Barn Road entrance and along County Barn is permitted. In
addition, hedges of up to a height allowed by law are allowed on Lot lines that border the
perimeter of the community other than Lot lines that border Riviera Golf Course.

Important Policy Changes

The following policies were put into effect by a resolution of the Board on November 18,2008.

1. The homeowner must advise the office when the work stipulated in the application has been completed. The office will note this on the application in the property file, and advise the ARB.
2. Upon completion of the work, the ARB will inspect the property to see that nothing other that that which was approved was done. This will minimize several violations that have occurred whereby the homeowner submitted specifications that conform to the covenants, but then violated those covenants during modification. The ARB will report these violations to the Board of Directors for further action.
3. All ARB applications will expire one year after the Board of Directors votes to approve the application. If the work stipulated has not been completed, the home owner must re-apply. The purpose of this is to avoid having a situation where an application has been approved, and the Board or the Association subsequently change the guidelines or covenants. The recent change in the paint color chart is an example of this.
