section 1.
PURPOSE: COMMON SCHEME: COVENANT

The Declarant intends that the Properties be planned, developed and constructed in a uniform and aesthetically compatible manner in order to preserve the value of the properties and in accordance with a common, and over-all scheme; said scheme being reasonably intended to promote and preserve the health, safety and general welfare of all Owners, their tenants, invitees and guests and further to promote and preserve the aesthetics of the Properties. In order to promote and fulfill these purposes and intentions, the Declarant for each Lot owned by it within the Properties hereby covenants, and each Owner of any Lot or Unit by acceptance of a deed therefore, whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such deed or conveyance, shall be deemed to covenant and agree that no building, fence, wall or other structure or improvement of any nature shall be commenced, erected, placed or maintained upon the Properties, nor shall any exterior addition to, change of, or alteration of the Properties, the Lots or the Units and the improvements located thereon be made, until the plans and specifications, showing the nature, kind, shape, heights, materials and location of the same shall have been submitted to, and approved in writing as to uniformity of aesthetics and harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography by the Architectural Control Committee.

section 2.
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE

The Architectural Control Committee shall be a committee composed of not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) members. Until such time as the Class B membership of the Association ceases, and is converted to Class A membership pursuant to the provisions of Article XII, Section 2 hereof, the persons who shall comprise the Architectural Control Committee shall be appointed by Declarant; thereafter, the persons who shall comprise the Architectural Control Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors.

The Architectural Control Committee shall be a permanent committee of the Association and shall approve all proposed development or construction of improvements, including all additions, modifications or alterations thereto, or any proposed chance in the use of any part of the Properties. The Architectural Control Committee shall also assist and advise the Board of Directors in enforcing this Declaration and in publishing rules, regulations and guidelines, and may from time to time perform such other duties or functions as may be assigned to it by the Board of Directors. The initial Architectural Control Committee shall be composed of three (3) persons appointed from time to time by, and serving at the pleasure of, the Declarant. For so long as the Declarant has the right to appoint the committee members in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, members appointed to the Architectural Control Committee need not be owners of the Properties. Thereafter, the members of the Architectural Control Committee shall be selected from among the Owners. Nothing herein shall prevent the appointment, as an ex-officio or non-voting member, of any non-resident architect, engineer or other professional whose expertise or advice the Board of Directors deems necessary for the proper functioning of the Architectural Control Committee.

Section 3.
STANDARDS AND PROCEDURE FOR REVIEW

The standards which shall be applied by the Architectural Control Committee when reviewing requests for approval of the activities described hereinabove, shall be promulgated by the Architectural Control Committee; provided, however, that no such promulgated standards may be applied retrospectively to any such request and provided further, that all such standards shall be promulgated, applied and enforced without discrimination.

In the event that the Architectural Control Committee fails to approve, disapprove or approve with conditions, any requests for approval within forty-five (45) days after said plans and specifications have been submitted to it, the approval will no longer be required and the requirement of this Article will be deemed to have been satisfied as to that request.

The Architectural Control Committee may disapprove, or require modification to, any plans or specifications submitted to it for any reason and upon any basis including, but not limited to, purely aesthetic considerations. In determining whether to approve or disapprove of any submitted plans and specification, the Architectural Control Committee shall consider and shall be guided by the following.

(a) Individual lots are situated so as to provide the greatest view, privacy, use of natural topography, and preservation of natural vegetation for each Lot or Unit owner. Therefore the exact location of any structure will be controlled and must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee in each case.

(b) Because individual Lots vary in site, location, topography, and type of vegetation, standard set back regulations will vary in this Declaration. This allows the flexibility to insure that the location of each structure will provide the maximum amount of view and breeze and to insure that structures will be properly located with regard to the location of large trees and other similar considerations, The Developer reserves unto the Architectural Control Committee, its successors and assigns, the right to control absolutely and solely the precise location of any house, dwelling, or other structure to be constructed upon any Lot. This responsibility will be invoked without hesitation to assure that the overall objectives of the project are met; provide, however, that this will be done only after a reasonable opportunity as been afforded the owner to recommend a specific location of the improvements on his property.

(c) Setbacks: As a guideline to individual lot owner: Buildings and structures constructed on the Lots within this Subdivision shall observe the following setback requirements:

1. Front lot line/Right-of-way setback minimum setback shall be 40 feet; the maximum front setback shall be 60 feet.

2. Side lines shall carry a 15 foot minimum set back

3. The rear line shall carry a 25 foot setback with the exception of those lots bordering the outer extents of the approved master plan of Preston Hollow. These lots shall have a rear setback of 35 feet to comply with present zoning regulations. However, swimming pools, screen pool enclosures, and cabanas may be erected up to a distance of 15 feet from the rear line.
