INTENT/CONCEPT The overall design intent of the Cordillera Valley Club PUD is to insure the preservation and enhancement of the natural beauty of the site and to maintain a high level of quality of architectural and landscape design that will be established as a standard.. The three following general concepts are of major importance in the development of the Cordillera Valley Club PUD: The natural landscape and golf course landscape shall dominate the setting. 2. New development shall blend with existing natural landforms and native vegetation. 3. Vegetation and lanclforms surrounding individual building sites shall be left undisturbed and maintained in their natural states to the maximum extent possible. The design guidelines for Cordillera Valley Club stress the importance of integrating land uses into the natural setting of the site and surroundings. This is the overriding goal. Specific architectural design controls adopted by the Cordillera Valley Club Architectural Review Committee are limited in number but, firmly applied, present a unified visual theme throughout the development. 8 B. SITE DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES Minimize Grading/Preservation of Landscape The intent and goals of the land planners at Cordillera Valley Club is to preserve the natural existing topography and minimize disruption of the existing ecosystem and alteration of topography and vegetation. The prescribed building sites have been located in a manner which minimizes grading and avoids disruption of the primary natural drainage systems. These attitudes and goals must be carried forward through to all levels of development including individual homesites. 2. Building Envelopes The "building envelope" is the area that will be designated on the final plat for each residential single family and primary/secondary lot and defines the portion of the lot in which building may occur subject to the Cordillera Valley Club Design Guidelines. Unless constituting a minor modification as described below, building encroachments outside Building Envelopes require a Building Envelope Amendment. Building Envelopes may be amended by either of the following procedures: a. Minor Modifications Building encroachments outside Building Envelopes (i) of non-habitable space such as roof overhangs, balconies, service areas, porches, patios, carports and garages provided that (a) view corridors of adjacent property owners are not substantially impacted in an adverse manner and (b) that written consent of the Cordillera Valley Club Design Review Board has been obtained for such encroachments, and (ii) of habitable space not to exceed twelve inches, may be approved by the Eagle County Community Development Director. Minor Modifications shall be under the authority of the Eagle County Community Development Director and may or may not require an Amended Final Plat. b. Building Envelope Adjustments Amendments to the Building Envelopes may occur upon approval of one of two of the following processes: Administrative Process -adjustments in the location of the building envelope may be made if approved by the Eagle County Community Development Director. The applicant must submit the following information with their request for a building envelope amendment: a properly executed application clearly stating the reason for the requested change; a list of all property owners within 75 feet of the outer boundaries of the lot in which the building envelope 9 adjustment is being proposed (along with letters of approval from all available described property owners); Cordillera Valley Club Design Review Board approval, and approved building site plans; and five copies of an Amended Final Plat which defines the current building envelope, the proposed change and the percentage change of the envelope. The Amended Final Plat will be referred to appropriate agencies for review and comment. The Community Development Director will review the amended final plat and submittal information based on the following criteria: - the proposed amendment will not substantially impact in an adverse manner the view corridor of any property owner to whom notice of the proposed building envelope amendment has been sent, or is required by geologic or other hazard considerations; - the envelope change does not adversely effect wildlife _ corridors; - the envelope amendment is not-.inconsistent with the intent of the Final Plat; and - the envelope amendment is not an alteration of a restrictive plat note. Upon determination that the above criteria have been met, the Director will request that the Chairperson of the Board of County Commissioners sign the plat. Appeals to the Director's decision may be made to the Board of County Commissioners through the Public Building Envelope Amendment Process. ii. Public Building Envelope Amendment Process -This process would apply to any requested building envelope amendment that cannot meet the submittal requirements for the above Administrative Process. The applicant must submit the following information with their request for a building envelope amendment: a properly executed application clearly stating the reason for the requested change; a list of all property owners within 75 feet of the outer boundaries of the lot in which the building envelope adjustment is being proposed; building site plans; and 10 five copies of an Amended Final Plat which defines the current building envelope, the proposed change and the percentage change of the envelope. The Amended Final Plat will be referred to appropriate agencies for review and comment. Upon completion of the referral period, a public hearing will be scheduled and notice shall be sent to the adjacent property owners at least 30 days prior to the public hearing. The Board of County Conunissioners shall consider the following in their review of the proposal: - the proposed amendment will not substantially impact in an adverse manner the view corridor of any property owner to whom notice of the proposed building envelope amendment has been sent, or is required by geologic or other hazard considerations; - the envelope change does not adversely effect wildlife corridors; - the envelope amendment is not inconsistent with the intent of the Final Plat; and - the envelope amendment is not an alteration of ~a restrictive plat note. - _ Upon determination that the above criteria has been met, the Chairperson of the Board of County Commissioners: sign the plat. Golf Course Edge The edge of the Golf Course in residential areas at Cordillera Valley-Club is of critical design importance. In order to enhance the edge areas where residential development meets the natural landscape setting, landscaping outside the Building Envelope is restricted to very limited additions of native landscape materials and irrigation. These additions may be of only species that are native to the site. In areas along the edge of the Golf Course that are altered during construction of the course, plantings and land forms that form the ground plane will be permitted to continue into the residential land up to the edge of patios or walls of buildings. However, even in this instance it is important that the edge of the golf course be irregular and natural, not geometric. 4. Roadway Corridor Landscaping Master landscape plans will be prepared for the common roadways within Cordillera Valley Club. The planting plan will focus upon revegetation and the reintroduction of native plant species where appropriate, located in informal groupings. Where individual lots abut these common roadways, landscaping shall be provided which blends into the edge condition adjacent to the lot and minimize disruption of areas preserved as native landscaping. A suggested plant 11 materials list will be available from the Architectural Control Committee. C. ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES Each building site within Cordillera Valley Club is unique in terms of its setting and attributes and in order to take advantage of those unique qualities, each site will require different design and construction approaches within the framework of the Cordillera Valley Club Design Guidelines adopted by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The design controls and architectural standards set forth by the ARC should be viewed by each individual lot owner as protection of the Cordillera Valley Club environment. Continuity is of utmost importance to the overall design philosophy at Cordillera Valley Club. The purpose of the Design Guidelines is not to create look-alike residences or to suggest that they all have to have the same colors and materials, but to create a design approach that maintains continuity and a sense of place through the use of conunon themes and ranges. of colors and materials. Material and Colors All building materials and colors including roofs shall be in accordance with those adopted by the ARC within the Cordillera Valley Club Design Guidelines. The color standards adopted by the ARC are intended to be muted, earth-tone colors with light to middle range color values of the native landscape found upon the site. Occasionally, accent colors that are used with restraint may be permitted. No highly reflective surfaces, other than glass, shall be used on exterior surfaces, including roofs. 2. Foundations All exterior wall materials must be continued to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls. 3. Decks, Patios Cour ards All decks, patios, and courtyards should be designed as an integral part of the architecture of the residences so they are integrated into the overall design. Site walls and accessory site structures shall be compatible with the main structure upon the site. 4. Antennae/Utility Lines No antenna of any sort shall be installed or maintained upon any residential lot which is visible from any adjacent property. All service utility lines to each Residence shall be installed underground. 5. Li htin All outdoor lighting will be carefully reviewed to insure that neighboring properties are protected from the view of bright light sources. Illumination necessary for night time activities must be directed downwards. 12 6. Paving It is a goal at Cordillera Valley Club to limit the impervious cover of the ground to the area necessary for the needs of adequate access and parking. Excessive areas of pavement will be discouraged. 7. SS=gns A comprehensive and unified signage and graphics program will be included in ARC's Design Guidelines in order to maintain high visual standards. The ARC will review all proposed signs for conformance with the Guidelines. a. Permitted Signs Main Entrance Sign - Location: East end of the development, north side of Beard Creek Trail at the intersection of Beard Creek North and Beard Creek Road. - Maximum Size: 32 square feet - Features: To be free standing or placed on a stone and/or stucco wall. - Lighting: Spotlights directed on the sign face or tube. light placed in the wall. ii. Clubhouse Entrance Sign - Location: Intersection of Beard Creek Trail and Legends Drive. - Maximum Size: 32 square feet - Features: To be free standing or placed on a stone and/or stucco wall. - Lighting: Spotlights directed on the sign face or tube light placed in the wall. iii. Sub-Project and Neighborhood Signs Sub-Project and neighborhoods within the Cordillera Valley Club PUD, such as Filing 5 (Tract R), Filing 6 (Tract T), Filing 7 (Tract U1), Filing 8 (Tract L) and Filing 9 (Tract M). Located where a roadway serves more than one project or neighborhood additional signs can be located to direct owners or guests. Location: At the entrance road or driveways at each sub- project or neighborhood. 13
