PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO READ THE TWO BOLD AND CAPITALIZED

PARAGRAPHS BELOW.

Dear Members of the Architectural Review Committee:

Attached hereto is my/our application for preliminary/final (circle one) approval, including the
plans and specifications depicting the proposed Improvement. This application has been
completed in accordance with Mayfaire Architectural Guidelines.

I/We acknowledge that the cost and responsibility of obtaining necessary permits, if any are
required, and any subsequent inspections will be borne by the undersigned. I/We acknowledge
that architectural approval by the review committee is not intended to be, nor shall it be
considered a substitute for, approval by the appropriate City and/or County agencies, where such
approvals are required.

I/WE AGREE THAT NO ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES MAY BEGIN UNTIL THE HOA’S
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE GIVES ITS FINAL APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THESE GUIDELINES AND THE CC&R'S. THIS INCLUDES ANY PLANTING TO
GARDEN AND LAWN AREAS MAINTAINED BY THE HOA, INCLUDING ROSES OR ANY
OTHER TYPE OF PLANTS. THIS ALSO INCLUDES ANY PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF A
SATELLITE ANTENNA. THIS ALSO INCLUDES ANY PROPOSED CHANGES SUCH AS A
PATIO COVER OR ANY OTHER STRUCTURE IN THE REAR GARDEN AREA.

I/WE AGREE THAT MY/OUR FAILURE TO OBTAIN FINAL APPROVAL FOR ANY TYPE OF
CHANGE CLASSIFIED AS AN ARCHITECTURAL CHANGE MAY RESULT IN A
REQUIREMENT TO REMOVE OR RELOCATE THE CHANGE AT MY/OUR EXPENSE.

I/We understand that review committee will endeavor to grant final approval as quickly as
possible and no longer than 45 days. The 45-day architectural review period commences upon
receipt of a properly completed and submitted application for final approval.

 Architectural Review Checklist

The members of your architectural review committee would like to expedite the approval process
for your plans. Please make sure that the following items have been addressed in your
submission. Submissions are required for improvements including but not limited to; rear/front
yard landscaping, painting, patio covers, permanent structures (i.e. planters, walkways, etc.),
satellite dishes, tree installation, etc. Should you have any questions concerning the contents of
your package, please feel free to contact your association representative at Lordon Management
for further details.

q Completed architectural application including,

a) Signed Master Application Form
b) Applicant Information Form
c) A brief description of your plans
d) Neighbor awareness forms – Note: all submissions require the “acknowledgment” of all
surrounding neighbors prior to review by the ARC committee.

q Drawing of Proposed Improvement/Plans

Note: Plans may be hand drawn and do not necessarily warrant an architect or civil
engineer, for those plans such as landscaping, patio covers, etc. However, if allowable,
all structural changes, as well as spas, will require more in depth plans. Please make
sure that you address each of the following items on your drawing.

q Drainage

This is perhaps one of the most important items to consider when planning any type of
improvement. While the builder may have provided drainage as part of the finished
grade, any type of modification will require approval and possibly the installation of
additional drains. This includes all hardscape and landscaped areas as well as planters.

q Locations

All improvements must be noted on your plans in relation to the location of your current
structures, property lines, and home.

q Planters

All planter elevations must be included as this may affect the requirement for additional
drainage. For example, if you are planning to build a retaining wall or raised planter, there
must be drainage in the planter areas as well as a water barrier against the fence to
provide for an adequate water/dirt vapor barrier. An approved option is bricks or cinder
block at the rear of the planter.

q Patio Covers & Other Structures

5
 Awnings or patio cover elevations, including; dimensions, color, and proposed materials
must be included in your plans. Please also provide a “site view” plan of your cover, this
is represented by a three dimensional picture of the cover. A manufacturer’s picture is
suitable for submission as part of this requirement.

q Set Backs

In addition to the city requirements for set backs for permanent structure, please note that
all cement must be poured at least three inches away from the fence, or property lines.

q Other Structures

Items such as sheds, waterfalls, play equipment, may be very obtrusive and may extend
above the fence level and be visible from the common areas. Please use caution and
submit your plans prior to work commencement. Include all structural elevations and
construction materials.

q Plantings

Plantings for trees, shrubs, and sod are required to be submitted to the architectural
control committee prior to installation. NOTE: All trees must have root barriers and
identified by type on your plans. Plantings such as general color, roses, or flowers are
ALSO items, which require architectural approval.
