Elie Estates - Aesthetic Code

Intent

The intent of this code is to ensure that all residents of Elie Estates can benefit from the enjoyment and pride of ownership that are part of life in an attractive, well planned community. This goal is accomplished by providing a consistent architectural standard and establishing reasonable time-frames for construction and landscape activities.

This document is subject to change and may be modified at the discretion of Newton Enterprises in order to conform to the intent of the code as the project develops.

Construction Standards

All building sites must be kept safe and well organized during construction. Lots are to be kept clear of debris and waste materials are to be stored in a dumpster that is regularly emptied to avoid overflow. Building materials on site are to kept organized and consolidated in one area of the property where possible.

Contractors to the site will ensure that construction vehicles and equipment on the building site do not interfere with access to neighboring properties.

Architectural Standards

The following minimum standards are established to maintain a similarity in building footprint and quality of finish while allowing for the incorporation of a range of building styles and finishes.

Homes will:

• Occupy no less than 60% of the property width
• Include a main floor area of no less than 1,100 sq. ft.
• Attached garage (if included) must not extend beyond 12’ from the face of the house
• Incorporate quality finish materials and avoid low contrast colors to create strong visual appeal.
• Meet the following setback requirements:

Landscaping

Landscaping is a process that evolves over the life of the property. The minimum requirement is that the lot be finish graded with topsoil and sod installed or grass seed planted.

A driveway is required and may consist of cement, paving stones, asphalt or gravel. Driveways may exceed the width of the garage door but are not to be a focal point of the property.

Timing

There is no time-frame requirement to begin construction.  Once construction begins, it must be completed, and the home occupied, within 12 months of receipt of building permits. Landscaping including the installation of the driveway is to be completed within 12 months of occupancy.
