approved by the Design Committee.
2. Gradinp-
The intent and goal of Diemoz River Ranch is to preserve the
natural existing topography and maintain the delicate system
of natural drainages, structures, washes and creek beds. Any
proposed improvements should be carefully planned to
minimize disruption to the existing ecosystem or alteration of
the topography. The prescribed envelopes have been located
to minimize grading and avoid primary natural drainage
systems. Specifically, new improvements should respond to
the following:
No grading shall occur outside the Building
Envelope except for erosion repair and meadow
repair approved by the Design Committee.
Cuts and fills shall be maximum 2:1 slopes_
Within the Building Envelope, no exposed cuts and
fills will be allowed, including exposed drainage
ditches, to minimize the visual impact of new
.construction.
All disturbed areas which are not graveled shall be
revegetated with appropriate-plant materials from the
recommended Plant List. (See Appendix A).
Major natural drainages that traverse the Lots shall be
maintained in their original configuration_ Eroding
areas must be stabilized and revegetated.
Existing irrigation ditches that traverse Lots shall not
be disturbed without approval of the Design
Committee.

No drainage improvements outside the building
envelope shall be constructed without the approval of
the Design Committee.
3. Utilities
Diemoz River Ranch recognizes the responsibility for
supplying utilities to each Lot. The applicant shall provide an
engineered system which encompasses the following:
All utilities shall be underground and contained
within the driveway corridor or Building Envelope,
unless approved by the Design Committee.
All above ground appurtenances shall be approved
by the Design Committee and be appropriately .
screened from view. Satellite dishes shall be non -
reflective black.
If utilities do not follow the driveway corridor,
owner shall revegetate disturbed areas to standards
included in the Design Guidelines. Any utility line
location not buried within an approved driveway
must be presented at final design approval along with
a detailed revegetation plan.,
All well and septic systems shall meet Eagle County
and State standards. All septic systems shall be site -
specific engineered systems that meet requirements
as may be established by the Eagle County
Department of Environmental Health.
4. Planting
Existing vegetation is one of Diemoz River Ranch's
amenities and an integral part of the natural ecosystem. The
intent of the following guidelines is to protect and enhance
the existing landscape and vegetation. Preservation is
paramount and improvements must respect existing
vegetation types. More specifically;
No removal of vegetation will be allowed outside of
the Building Envelope and access corridor except for
reasons of landscape restoration, wildlife
enhancement, agricultural improvement or the
enhancement of trails.
Landscape scale and overall landscape design shall
be designed so that new vegetation is integral with
the natural landscape and the local plant
communities. New planting shall compliment
existing plant communities and be located to extend
existing vegetation edges orplanted in natural

looking groups. Approved species shall be
appropriately selected from the Plant List (Appendix
A).
Homeowners are encouraged to utilize plant materials
within each Lot that require little water other than
initial periods for establishment.
Homeowners will be required to plant 20 trees at a
minimum size of 1" cal. each. At least six of these
trees must be used on or near the river bank for
improving Riparian lla taL As welt, homeowners
will also be required to plant 20 shrubs. A least six
of these shrubs must be used on or near the river
bank. Newly planted trees and shrubs on or near the
river bank should be fenced to prevent against beaver
damage.
Planting within the Building Envelope in areas
immediately adjacent to the house which are not
visible from neighboring homes shall be relatively
unrestricted and may include ornamental plants_
Manicured or groomed yards shall be confined by
buildings, fences, walls or other edges so that the
visibility of these areas is limited to adjacent
buildings. Trees within the Building Envelope shall
be selected from the Plant List. (Appendix A).
5. Lightin
Outdoor lighting will be carefully reviewed to assure that
neighboring properties are protected from bri ght light
sources and that they have every opportunity to enjoy the
night sky. All exterior lighting must be approved by the
Design Committee prior to any installation. Separate exterior
lighting detail showing source location, wattage and fixture
specification, and building or landscape area illuminated by
such lighting must be submitted to the Design Committee
prior to any installation and final approval. Specifically:
Lighting outside the Building Envelope, visible light
sources, and exterior up- Iighting are prohibited. One
low-level light with a hidden source is allowed at
each entry drive for the sole purpose of locating the
entry and address identification.

6, Wildlife management and Fencing
In an effort to maintain the greatest level of preservation of
the natural character of the Ranch, the ]Design Committee
does not recommend the use of fences. If fencing is used, it
must follow these guidelines. Specifically;
Any fencing must be 42 ", 4 strand or less, with a
I2" kick space between the top 2 strands. Any rail
fencing must be- the split or round rail type, 48 ". 3
rail or less with at least* 18" between 2 of the rails.
Fenced dogs must be restricted to the Building
Envelope. Fencing containment for dogs must be
approved by the Design Committee. Umit to 2
dogs/home with a kennel restriction. Kennel must be
constructed before the c.o. is issued.
Any horse hay must be fenced at the owners'
expense with 8' mesh fencing to- prevent game
damage by deer /elk to the hay.
7. Signage
In order to minimize the visual impact of foreign intrusions
on the Ranch, large signage "statements" are prohibited_
Specifically:
Signage will be permitted only for the address and
name at the driveway /road intersection and shall be
subject to approval by the Design Committee.
Maximum allowable text area shall be
four square feet.
S. WildfureManamment
In order to minimize increase in potential wildfire
occurrences, the following guidelines are established:
Roofs will be-made of fire retarding materials.
- No wood burning devices shall be allowed.
Parking areas shall be kept free of tall grasses and
other combustible materials. Within 30 feet of all
structures, existing trees and shrubs should be
thinned to minimize fuel.
Thinning out continuous tree and brush cover within
a 30 foot defensible area of the home. Generally, the
tree and brush cover is not contiguous across the site
but located along irrigation ditches and river edge so
it is anticipated that extensive thinning will not be
required.

20 of 28 R 0.00 D 0.00 N 0.00 Eagle CO
All slash and debris left from thinning will be
disposed of.
Dead limbs and ground litter will be removed from
the defensible area.
Firewood will be stacked- 15' uphill from the home.
An irrigated manicured space will be created around
each home within the building envelope.
All agricultural pasture areas will be watered during
periods of high fire danger.
Branches of trees within 10 feet of the defensible
space will be pruned and ladder fuels removed
beneath large trees.
Branches that extend over roof eaves will be pruned
and removed within 15 feet of the chimney.
Roofs and gutters will be cleaned to eliminate a fuel
source on the roofs.
B.
Architectural Standards
Diemoz River Ranch Association recognizes the need for an owner,
through his architect, to design with as much flexibility as possible
to meet the owner's needs, taste and individuality. The intent of this
section is to encourage individual expression and outline basic and
simple criteria. These criteria have been established to govern
building massing and color, to reduce visual impact by conforming
to the surrounding topography, and to minimize damage to the
existing landscape. In essence, the architecture should reflect the
natural, quiet mood of Diemoz River Ranch through its massing,
choice of materials and colors. The following standards are
applicable to any structure visible from primary roads or the
Building Envelopes within Diemoz River Ranch, or when otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Design Committee.
1. Building Location
Buildings are to be located within building envelopes
so as to preserve the. view corridor from existing
homes and common areas.
2. Building Form and Massing
In the landscape at Dieinoz River Ranch the major elements
of building mass reveal themselves texturally at the medium
range view. It is essential that the buildings disappear from
the distant views, roads and other Lots. Therefore;
Minimize exposed walls: The maximum continuous
exposed wall height along a building face shall be ten
feet high except that 30% of each building face may
be higher-up to a maximum of twenty eight feet.
The maximum building height shall conform to Eagle
County standards.

639578 06/12/1998 05 :03P 370 Sara Fisher
21 of 28 R 0.00 D 0.00 N 0.00 Eagle CO
Minimize use of continuous flat planes. Provide
variety through stepping of building faces where
possible.
Eave lines to project a minimum of three feet on the
downhill sides of the building to minimize glass
reflection.
Owners are encouraged to establish close'visual and
design ties between all structures through clustering
to minimize impact within the Building Envelope.
3. Roof Desien
Visually, the roof is probably the single most important
element in overall design. Designs for roofs within Diemoz
River Ranch shall adhere to the following:
Pitched roofs shall have pitches not 1 ess than 6:12
and not greater than 12:12.4:12 roof pitches will be
acceptable for attached shed roofs or secondary roof
planes.
Roof overhangs shall be a minimum of 2'.
Roof materials shall include fire retardant wood
shingles, composition shingles, slate, or dark non -
reflectivemetal.
Roof color values and hues will match the darkest
values in the immediately adjacent landscape.
The following roof types are not permitted in Diemoz
RiverRanclu
a. Mansard roofs
b. Curved roofs
C. Domed roofs
Roof designs should reflect, where possible, the
character of the adjacent landscape (i.e., steep
pitched roofs in areas with tall dense tree stands, or
low pitched roofs in lower valleys, flat grasslands
and on ridges).
4. Exterior Walls and Surfaces
Allowed exterior materials include painted, stained or
natural wood, vinyl siding, stucco, stone, shingles,
and logs. Additional materials proposed will be
reviewed by the Design Committee.
5. Foundations
Exposed foundations must be masonry, colored
concrete, stone, split face block, or stucco. No
exposed posts or cross bracing shall be permitted,
since it tends to be unsightly, especially to
neighbors, and provides no visual connection to the
ground.

6. Chimneys Flues, and Roof Vents
Chimneys must be enclosed in stone, brick or
stucco.
Flues and roof vents shall be black if exposed, or
enclosed in structures compatible with the building.
Construction Regulations
In order to protect the wildlife community and to minimize disturbance and
damage, the following guidelines are established for activities specific to
construction.
A. Silt fencing must be placed by contractor to contain any erosion
runoff due to construction activity.
B . Building materials may be delivered directly to the construction site
via existing ranch roads and approved Construction
staging and storage of building materials shall take place only within
the Building Envelope. All staging materials shall be stored no
further than 300 feet from the construction activity area.
C. No firearms or domestic dogs shall be allowed within construction
areas. Possession of dogs or firearms on Diemoz River Ranch
results in a $1,000 fine to the owner /contractor /employee and
permanent expulsion of the employee from the Ranch.
D. Construction activity-shall be limited to a period of time commencing
at 7:00 a.m. and ending no later than 6:30 p.m. each day, with no
construction activity permitted on Sundays.
E. Access to the Ranch is available only to workers employed on the
site and for travel to and from the job. Absolutely no access is
available for persons not employed on the site, nor is access allowed
any employee during evenings or weekends except to accomplish
speck tasks at the site. Violation may result in permanent
expulsion.
F. A road impact fee will be assessed to homeowners and must be paid
to the Diemoz River Ranch Homeowners Association with the final
plan submittal to the DRC. Road impact fees for remodeling will be
subject to review by the Design Review Committee. No final plan
approval for construction will be granted prior to receipt of road
impact fees from the homeowner.
