recovery of any financial damages or loss from the City in association with the City’s decision to
issue or withhold any Certificate of Occupancy within The Overlook.
Purpose and Intent
The following Design and Architectural Criteria have been prepared to ensure that the goals and
vision are realized for properties in the Planned Community known as the Overlook at Mariana
First Subdivision. The purpose of these ASDC is to provide specific design criteria for the
subsequent improvement or modification of individual homes and for the development and
subsequent improvement or modification of landscapes within the community. The ASDC are
designed to establish and maintain a quality community appearance, assure compatibility, direct
architectural and neighborhood character and form, and enhance property values.
All residential development within The Overlook is to abide by the applicable criteria
established by these ASDC in addition to the normal development standards established by the
City of Loveland.
Community Concept and Character
The Overlook at Mariana First Subdivision is proposed as a walkable, environmentally-
responsible community with phenomenal views and easily accessible recreational opportunities
at the Mariana Butte golf course, Buckingham Lake, Boedecker Lake, the private open space,
and potential clubhouse facility. This will be a unique community neighborhood of custom
homes linked by greenbelts, tree lined pedestrian walks, and public roadways. A mixture of
home sizes and prices is desired to create a neighborhood where smaller, high-quality jewel-box
homes coexist with spacious ranch estates to provide luxury living opportunities for individuals,
couples, families, and retirees for the enrichment and diversification of the overall community.
Building Code
All structures shall conform to all applicable building codes and ordinances. Approval by the
DRC does not constitute or imply compliance with such codes and ordinances.

4. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS
Purpose and Intent
The architectural character of the homes in The Overlook is intended to reflect the character of
the Colorado foothills with a variety of interesting and compatible relationships of form, texture
and architectural styles. Additionally, economic factors, environmental concerns, and
construction practices prevalent in the industry are important influences. The design criteria are
intended to promote a high level of design quality, assure compatibility between residential
products within the community, and guide character and form. They speak to five-sided
architectural requirements which create finished designs on every side of the home and the roof.
The following architectural design objectives shall be incorporated into the community and shall
be considered when designing the specific architectural building elements.
Architectural Theme, Elements and Character
The country setting of The Overlook defines the community’s architectural character. The
property is situated on a bluff that offers majestic vistas of Mariana Butte, Mariana Butte golf
course, Devil’s Backbone, Buckhorn Creek valley, Buckingham and Boedecker Lakes, Longs
Peak, and the Mummy Range. It is a setting that deserves respect. The goal is for the
architectural character of each home to capture the spirit of the Colorado Front Range foothills
and mountains and reflect the natural textures and colors of the land. This will be accomplished
through the careful use of pitched roofs broken by dormers and gables, deep wrap-around
porches or covered decks with columns, the use of timber and stucco to replicate historic
building styles, and the use of stone or masonry to anchor the home to its site. These Design
Criteria encourage a range of creative architectural expressions. No two homes will look alike at
The Overlook, yet they will all harmonize with their setting and thematically compliment each
other.
Environmental Stewardship
Homebuilders within The Overlook will be leaders in the community who model the use of
technologies, products, and practices that provide greater energy efficiency, reduce pollution,
provide healthier indoor air, reduce water usage, preserve natural resources, improve durability,
and reduce maintenance for new homes. Each home within the neighborhood shall be officially
certified as “Built Green,” or shall have a documented Energy Star efficiency rating of 85 points
or lower prior to issuance of a Certificate of Compliance by the DRC and occupancy by the
homeowner.

5. Building Heights
Single-family residential units shall be either one, one and a half, or two story structures
(exclusive of basements). Two-story structures are not permitted within Lots 7-9 of Block 3 to
minimize the potential negative impact that tall structure height may have on the adjoining Lots
10-17. All building heights shall conform to the City of Loveland Municipal Code.
Building Area
Each residential dwelling shall contain the amount of finished floor space above grade level as
set forth in the table below. All minimum square footages are exclusive of garages, patios,
basements, roofed or unroofed porches, terraces, or accessory buildings.

2200 Square Feet with 1400 sf min on main level
3 7-9 1800 Square Feet
1-1/2 story Permitted, 2-story NOT permitted
Massing
Homes should step down on all sides to minimize walls two stories or greater in height so that
homes do not appear highly vertical. Graduated wall heights are important in maintaining proper
massing and avoiding large, slab-like walls. Rear elevations must be given additional
consideration for lots that may be viewed from the golf course, West First Street, or the
commonly owned green belt outlots.
Elevations
All houses shall express consistent architecture detailing on all four elevations. Architectural
elements such as shutters, vents, highly articulated window bays, covered entries, porches, and
cantilevers may be incorporated into each structure. The rear and side elevations of homes shall
reflect the same materials and architectural detailing found on the front elevation, including
window patterns, building articulation, rooflines, trim, and ornamentation. The exterior finish
material shall be installed to within 6” of the adjacent finished grade on each elevation to
eliminate large areas of exposed concrete foundation walls and to appear as a single structural
element which anchors the home to the site.
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 5 of 24
6. No elevation view shall be comprised of a singular, flat, uninterrupted plane on either the roof or
wall. A minimum of two visible planes shall be incorporated into each wall and roof elevation.
Each plane shall be separated from the other by an offset not less than 12” from the adjacent
plane.
Windows
The size, number, and placement of windows should provide a sensitive counterpoint to wall
surfaces. The size and shape of window openings are to be appropriately proportioned to scale
and to the character of their location in the structure. Larger windows are to be subdivided with
structural members or created by ganging smaller windows. Based on the considerations of view
and day lighting, solar and other energy-use considerations are to be applied with larger window
on southerly exposures and smaller windows on northerly walls.
Posts and Columns
All covered porch and deck columns shall contain a substantial masonry base in proportion to the
overall building mass. The minimum bottom width shall be 24” and the minimum height shall
be 36” for the masonry base. It is recommended that masonry bases for deck posts extend full
height from the ground to the top hand rail. Battered masonry base tapers are permitted provided
that the masonry column cap edges extend laterally at least 4” but not more than 12” past the
supported column or post. The supported column or post may consist of clapboard columns,
masonry stucco supports, timber posts, or decorative columns that architecturally harmonize with
the dwelling as approved by the Design Review Committee. The minimum size of vertical
support posts shall be 8”x8” or 12” diameter for solid timber posts or 12”x12” for framed or
stucco posts. In general, all posts should have a minimum width of 1” of every 1’ of post length.
If two or more columns or timber posts are grouped to form a composite support structure, the
width of the individual columns or timber posts may be reduced to 6”.
Roof Details
The roof shall be considered an architectural element of the home and should receive care and
attention in the design. Expanses of unbroken roof planes or ridge lines are discouraged. Each
elevation shall have a minimum of two visible planes on the roof. Each plane shall be separated
from the other by an offset not less than 12” from the adjacent plane. Architectural details such
as multiple gables, hip roofs, dormers, bird-box corners, and/or varying roof and facade planes
shall be expressed in each custom home built. 24" minimum overhang (soffits) are
recommended at all rake ends of the roof and 16” minimum overhangs shall be incorporated at
all other roof eaves. 16” overhangs at rake ends may be approved by the DRC where deemed
compatible with the proposed architectural style of the home. Secondary roof structures
(dormers, etc.) may incorporate a 12" minimum overhang. Fascia boards shall have a minimum
width of 8” and shall be stained or painted.
Steep roof pitches (10:12 or steeper) are encouraged. Roof pitches flatter than 6:12 shall require
the approval of the DRC as to architectural compatibility and design.
Slate, masonry tile (concrete or clay), or synthetic shake roof treatments are encouraged. All
fiberglass-reinforced asphalt shingles shall be an architectural grade incorporating a raised
textural element and shall be warranted for a minimum service life of forty (40) years. No flat
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 6 of 24
7. asphalt or rolled roofing may be used on the roof of any structure except where specifically
approved by the DRC as a necessary, non-visible element on a dwelling with a flat roof (i.e.
southwest-style architecture). Standing seam metal roofing or weathered corrugated metal
roofing may be considered for approval by the DRC in cases where this material is an integral
component in the building architecture.
The building contractor is required to install all vents in a common chase fenced from view to
the extent reasonably possible. Exposed vent chases, pipes, chimney caps, and attic fans shall be
located on the roof slope facing away from the street whenever possible and painted to match the
trim, siding or roof material. No mechanical equipment shall be permitted on roofs except attic
fans which may be allowed provided they do not protrude more than 12” above the roof surface.
Front Doors
Front entry doors shall appear to be a substantial architectural element of the front elevation.
They shall be constructed of fiberglass, natural wood, or wood composite with raised panels or
geometric carved patterns as appropriate to each house style, and should be installed in exterior
frames that are constructed of wood or are clad to match the windows. No steel or metal front
entry doors are allowed.
Garages
Each home shall include a two-car garage as a minimum. Three-car garages are the expected
norm. The building architecture shall de-emphasize the garages as much as possible. Garage
doors visible as part of front building elevations shall not comprise more than forty (40) percent
of the ground floor, street-facing, linear building frontage. Side loaded garages facing a street on
a corner lot are exempt from this condition. Garages on lots with less than 65 feet of frontage
(measured at the building front setback line) on a public street right-of-way shall not have garage
doors for more than two cars visible as part of the front building elevation. Garage doors with a
height greater than 10’ (ie RV garage doors) are not permitted to directly face the street, and
require approval from the Design Review Committee.
Where a garage is a component of the front building elevation, the garage shall be either: side-
loaded, have a living space directly over the garage space, or have the occupied portion of the
home or a front porch feature which extends beyond the front face of the garage by at least four
feet. Covered porches, for the purposes of this requirement, shall measure at least eight (8) feet
in length (across the front of the building) by six (6) feet in depth (perpendicular to the front of
the building).
Garage facades shall be detailed with windows, soffits, fascias, accent siding, decorative garage
door openings, and/or masonry. Garage doors shall have a hand-crafted appearance and shall be
constructed of wood or resin bonded wood composites. Garage door windows are encouraged.
All street facing elevations for side-loaded garages shall contain at least one window
architecturally detailed to be complimentary and compatible with the habitable portion of the
dwelling. Metal garage doors are discouraged and may not be approved by the DRC unless
covered with a wood veneer on the exterior surface. Excessive garage freeboard space greater
than 24”, as measured between the top of the garage door and the bottom of the eave line, is not
permitted unless visually softened with architecturally detailing approved by the DRC.
Revised 31 October 2008

8. Where a 3rd car bay occurs, the 3rd bay shall be set forward or back from the plane of the main
garage face by a minimum of 2', or it shall be side loaded, or the 3rd bay may be configured in a
tandem location behind the 2 primary bays.
Materials
Materials used on exterior surfaces of all housing types are a key design element in The
Overlook. Unbroken expanses of a single material can overpower the rest of a building and its
surroundings, while too many materials result in visual chaos. All exterior walls should be
finished with a minimum of two façade materials. The secondary façade material(s) should
cover a minimum of 20% of each elevation (exclusive of window and door openings). All
materials shall blend and be compatible with the community and the landscape. Natural textures
are encouraged. Heavy timber utilizing traditional mortise/tenon/pegged joinery and/or masonry
elements are encouraged and may be required by the Design Review Committee. Enhanced
architectural detailing may be allowed in lieu of a secondary material if approved by the Design
Review Committee.
Masonry
The exterior finish on all elevations of each single-family residence shall consist of a minimum
of 80% masonry, natural/synthetic stone, cement stucco with an elastomeric colored finish, or
synthetic stucco colored finish (EFIS). These materials should be used as a visual "base" for the
residence. If masonry is used at the corners of the street-facing elevations, the masonry must
“wrap” the side elevation corners for a minimum horizontal distance of 3’ and extend vertically
full height to the soffits. The DRC may allow wainscot height masonry corner wraps if the
masonry is extended on the side elevation to the nearest inside wall corner.
Siding
A maximum of 20% of any elevation may be finished with cedar shakes, fiber cement textured
synthetic shakes, or horizontal tongue and groove or lap siding (8" maximum visible surface).
Textured fiber cement siding products (such as Weatherboard or Hardipanel), natural wood
(cedar or redwood), or weathered corrugated metal are allowable siding materials.
Trim
Stucco bands, natural/synthetic stone, brick, textured fiber cement siding products (such as
Weatherboard or Hardipanel), textured engineered wood products (LP SmartSide), or natural
wood (cedar or redwood) are allowable trim materials. A minimum trim width of 4” shall be
used around windows and at the top of the siding or stucco adjacent to the soffits. A minimum
trim width of 6” shall be used adjacent to siding or stucco, and at the bottom of the siding or
stucco at the foundation. A 12” wide stucco belly band may be used in lieu of the 6” foundation
trim where approved by the DRC.
Window Wells
Basement window wells shall be constructed of concrete or heavy timbers. Corrugated metal
window wells are not permitted. Visible portions of concrete window wells shall be coated with
stucco to match the home. Timber window wells shall be stained to match the exterior timber
Revised 31 October 2008

9. elements of the home. No window well may encroach into any front, rear, or side yard drainage
or utility easement.
House Numbers.
Each dwelling unit will have the house number clearly displayed and illuminated on a masonry
or cast bronze plaque architecturally integrated into the front yard or the front exterior of the
home. The design and location is to be shown on the house plans and submitted for review and
approval by the Design Review Committee.
Inappropriate Materials
Exposed concrete blocks, painted concrete, multicolored masonry, mirrored glass, prefabricated
metal buildings, painted metal used as a building skin, vinyl or aluminum siding, simulated
brick, unnatural brick and stone colors, high-gloss reflective finishes, hardboard, and masonite
are not acceptable.
Color
Color exerts a tremendous impact upon the visual perception of the community. The color of all
exterior building surfaces shall replicate the hues drawn directly from the soils, rocks, and
foliage of the western Loveland foothills. In general, these hues would be described as earth
tone in character. Trim colors must be complementary and not of high contrast to the primary
base color. Gutters shall be painted to match the material on which it rests or the trim color. All
exterior railing, siding, and trim must be painted, powder-coated, or stained. Bare, unprotected
exterior materials (masonry excepted) are not permitted.
Fire Protection.
All homes in this development shall be equipped with an outside strobe light placed on the
structure exterior in a location visible from the roadway in accordance with City of Loveland
Fire Department requirements. Garage and attic areas in buildings constructed on all lots shall
have heat detectors installed in accordance with City of Loveland Fire Department requirements.
Energy Conservation Equipment. No unsightly finishes, reflective surfaces (which cause glare
to neighboring Lots or streets) or unsightly exposed piping and wiring are permitted on any solar
energy collector panels or attendant hardware or other energy conservation equipment
constructed or installed on the Property.

10. AND
LANDSCAPE AND SITE DESIGN
Purpose and
Intent
The Landscape and Site Design criteria are intended to guide all private landscaping within The
Overlook, respect the Overlook at Mariana First Subdivision Landscape Plan, and provide
compatibility with adjacent properties and the project's streetscape. All common open space area
including buffer yards shall be installed or guaranteed by the Developer prior to the issuance of
the first certificate of occupancy for lots immediately adjacent to each outlot or open space area.
The approved master landscape plan for The Overlook is on file with the City of Loveland
Planning Division. All plantings proposed within utility or drainage easements shall respect the
separation requirements set forth on the master landscape plan notes. It is the responsibility of
the Lot Owner to provide and install all landscaping for their Lot, including street trees.
Landscape Design
Landscape Plan. A landscape plan for each Lot showing the location and identity of all proposed
landscaping elements (trees, shrubs, plants, statuary, ground cover, yard ornaments, ponds,
stones, lighting, retaining walls, dog runs, play houses/equipment, etc.) shall submitted to the
Design Review Committee by each Owner for review and approval prior to installation of any
landscaping on a Lot. The plan shall also show the location of the proposed screening for any air
conditioning units, as well as all existing buried utilities on the Lot. The buried electric wires are
typically placed 2’ behind the sidewalk or 8’ behind the curb where no sidewalk exists. The
buried gas pipes are typically installed 10’ behind the sidewalk or 18’ behind the curb where no
sidewalk exists. The placement shown on the landscape plan should be based on field locates for
the specific lots. The design shall avoid blocking side yard view corridors to the lake and golf
course to the greatest extent possible. The landscape plan may be submitted concurrently with
the dwelling plans, or separately at a subsequent date not later than twelve (12) months after
DRC approval of the dwelling construction plans. Plans which define a rigid property boundary
are discouraged, while plans which blend yards through the use of similar planting materials and
landscaping treatments along property lines are encouraged. Turf areas in the rear yards of all
villa lots (Lots 22-34 of Block 1 and Lots 12-16 of Block 2) shall be contiguous with all adjacent
lots to facilitate mowing by the HOA. Owners are advised to consider an emphasis on
coniferous, rather than deciduous, trees to minimize tree losses due to wildlife damage. A list of
elk-resistant plants can be found on the internet at
http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/cos/info/wildlife_human_interaction/docs/garden.html.
Trees. The landscape plan shall identify the location and species for a minimum of one 2”
(minimum) caliper deciduous tree and one 6’ (minimum) tall coniferous tree for each lot. Estate
lots must also include a minimum of two 1-3/4” caliper ornamental trees. Additionally, where
detached sidewalks have been constructed, one 2” (minimum) caliper street tree shall be shown
in the tree lawn situated between the curb and the sidewalk. Where no sidewalk exists, the street
tree shall be planted 4’ behind the curb. Corner lots shall have a minimum of two street trees
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 10 of 24
11. with one situated on each separate street frontage. Unless otherwise approved by the DRC, street
trees shall be selected from the following list:
Ash (Marshall, Summit, Autumn Purple, Patmore, or Cimmeron)
Maple (Autumn Blaze, Emerald Queen, or Bit Tooth)
Honey Locust (Shade Master or Imperial)
Hackberry
American Linden
Northern Catalpa
All trees be placed a minimum of 4’ away from existing buried utilities.
Shrubs, Perennials, and Annuals. The landscape plan shall identify the locations, names, and
quantities of shrub (5 gallon container), perennial (one gallon container), and annual plants
proposed to beautify the lot and enhance the overall aesthetics of the neighborhood. All shrubs
be placed a minimum of 4’ away from existing buried utilities.
Irrigation. Water sprinkler systems with underground pipes shall be installed at each Owner's
expense for the watering of all landscaped portions of a Lot including any adjacent right of way
and tree lawn situated between the curb and the sidewalk. Lot Owners may install additional
landscaping on adjacent HOA property if the additional landscaping is shown on the Lot
Owner’s landscape plan, approved by the Design Review Committee, and maintained/watered by
the Lot Owner. The landscape plan shall identify the location of the outdoor controller and
shutoff for Lots 22-34 of Block 1 and Lots 12-16 of Block 2. Sprinkler heads shall be installed
and configured to minimize water waste and overspray onto impervious surfaces such as
sidewalks, driveways, and roadways.
Ground Covering. The landscape plan shall identify the proposed location of all ground
covering (rock, gravel, wood chips, or mulch or similar ground covering used in landscaping of a
Lot) shall not make up more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the landscaping on any Lot.
Exceptions may be granted by the Design Review Committee for attractive, professionally
designed xeriscapes that are determined to enhance the character, quality, and aesthetics of the
Property. No Ground Covering shall be allowed within the tree lawn unless specifically
reviewed and approved by the Design Review Committee.
Landscape Elements and Components Not Allowed. No artificial turf or plants of any type are to
be used in the landscape. Areas visible from a public right-of-way shall not have yard
decorations such as plastic or fiberglass animals, birds or human replicas, windmills or other
agricultural equipment incorporated into mailboxes or other unnatural landscape elements.
Bronze, timber, or stone sculpture proposed for front yards shall be submitted to the DRC for
review and approval prior to installation.
Landscape Plan Revisions. Minor revisions to the approved landscape design/plan can be made
by the Owner without review or input from the Design Review Committee. Major revisions to
the approved landscape design/plan (defined as the addition, deletion, or relocation of twenty
percent (20%) or more of the plant material described on the approved landscape plan) must be
submitted to the Design Review Committee for review and approval prior to implementation of
the proposed revision.
Revised 31 October 2008

12. Landscape Construction
Installation. All landscaping elements, as depicted in the approved landscape plan, shall be
attractively installed on the Lot within six (6) months after substantial completion of the exterior
home improvements (ie walls, roof, and concrete flatwork). The installation of landscaping in
the rear yard on estate lots may be phased over a longer period of time if phasing is clearly
indicated on the landscape plan and approved by the Design Review Committee. Landscaping
completion deadlines between October 31st and May 1st are automatically extended to May 31st
due to winter weather limitations.
Intersection Sight Distances. Except as may be required for traffic control signage, no fence,
wall, shrub, planting or other structure shall be placed or planted on any portion of a Lot near a
street junction, if such structure may obstruct the sight lines between two and one half feet (2 ½')
and eight feet (8') above the top of the street curb, within the triangular area formed between
points twenty feet (20') from the junction of such street edges.
Plant Materials. Plant materials used in the open space landscape and on private residential lots
shall be native or naturalized to the area. Plant material selection should be made from locally
available nursery or garden center stock. The Colorado Nurserymen's Association Rocky
Mountain Plant Guide lists acceptable plant materials for this region. The use of elk and deer
resistant plant varieties is encouraged.
Irrigation. All turf areas shall be seeded or sodded, irrigated with a buried sprinkler system, and
kept at least four (4) feet away from the foundation of the home or as recommended by a
professional soils engineer or landscape professional, to ensure proper drainage is maintained.
Outdoor shut-off valves and outdoor controllers shall be installed at each home on Lots 22-34 of
Block 1 and Lots 12-16 of Block 2 to facilitate maintenance by the HOA without disturbance of
the home owners. Sprinkler heads shall be installed in locations to minimize water waste and
overspray onto concrete sidewalks, driveways, roadways, and the ornamental perimeter fence.
Foundation Plantings. Planting beds shall surround the foundation of each home except where
the foundation is bordered by patios, decks, walkways, or driveways. The planting bed shall be a
minimum of four (4) feet from the homes' foundation to the lawn areas in order to ensure proper
drainage. In all instances, watering near the foundation should be minimal (e.g. drip irrigation
systems) to avoid possible structural damage to the residence. All planting beds shall be
separated from turf areas with a 4” (minimum) tall steel or concrete header. All Planting beds
shall be mulched with stone or gravel on top of a commercial grade weed barrier.
Air Conditioning Units. Compressors and fans for central air conditioning systems located
outside the exterior of a building shall be adequately walled, fenced, or screened with
landscaping to prevent unreasonable noise and visible exposure. Air conditioning units extending
from windows or protruding from roofs are not permitted.
Mulch. All planting beds shall be mulched with soft mulch or rock mulch. Rock mulch should
be a minimum of 1-1/2 inch diameter and should compliment the color of the residences.
Multicolored rock (i.e. pink granite or other colors) is discouraged. Red lava rock and white
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 12 of 24
13. stone are not permitted for use as mulch. Large diameter river rock, moss rock or other "feature"
rock may be used as a part of the landscape.
Rock mulch shall be placed over a commercial-grade weed barrier fabric, separated from turf,
and kept in place with a 4" minimum steel or concrete header. All headers shall be installed in
such a manner as to prevent damming of water near the foundation. Drain holes will be provided
in the header as needed for proper drainage.
Landscape Maintenance
Estate Lots. The home builder/owner shall install and maintain all landscaping as shown on the
approved landscape plan in accordance with the requirements set forth herein. Lot owners may
contract separately for landscaping maintenance with the HOA’s landscape contractor or any
other landscape maintenance provider.
Villa Lots. The builder shall install, the home owner shall own, and the HOA shall maintain, all
private yard landscaping and irrigation systems on Lots 22-34 of Block 1 and Lots 12-16 of
Block 2 as approved by the DRC at the time of the new home construction. Home owners shall
be responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing supplemental gardens, plantings, and
water features installed by the home owner (with the prior approval of the DRC), as well as the
irrigation systems for such supplemental gardens and additional plantings. Plantings installed by
the builder shall be warranted for one year from the date of installation. Replacement of dead
plant material during the one year warranty period is the responsibility of the builder and his
installing contractor. The HOA maintenance contractor shall be responsible for replacing any
HOA maintained plants that do not survive while under the care of the HOA maintenance
contractor, except that replacement of plants damaged by vandalism, abuse, animal interaction,
accidental breakage, or acts of God shall be the responsibility of the home owner. Replacement
of dead landscape material shall occur within 30 days of receipt of a replacement notice from the
DRC. All irrigation water will be provided and paid for by the home owner.
Snow removal from front yard sidewalks and driveways shall be provided by the HOA as
reasonably necessary when the snow accumulation depth exceeds 2 inches unless otherwise
determined by the Executive Board. The home owner is responsible to remove snow from
patios, decks, courtyards, and side or rear yard walkways.
Common Areas. The developer shall install, or secure at 110% of cost, all common open space
area landscaping, as shown on the plans for each construction phase, prior to the issuance of a
building permit within the relevant construction phase. All common open space area vegetation
shall be planted and irrigated by the developer and maintained by the HOA. Within any tree-
lawn area, easement or street center median(s), trees shall not be planted within 10' of water,
sanitary or storm main lines. Shrubs shall not be planted within 5' of water, sanitary or storm
main lines.
All open space areas including buffer yards, habitat enhancement areas and wetland mitigation
areas shall be installed or guaranteed by the developer prior to the issuance of the first building
permit for any lot within the designated construction phase. In an effort to ensure ongoing
viability of restoration areas, the City shall evaluate said areas yearly. The thoughtfully designed
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 13 of 24
14. landscape planting and maintenance shall provide a consistent landscape between lots and open
space throughout the development. Project entry sign walls may be constructed at each of the
project entries.
Building Setbacks
No dwelling, accessory building, or deck may be erected upon any Lot closer to the front lot line,
side lot line or rear lot line than the setback distances listed below. Measurements (except for
garage doors) shall be made to the foundation wall, NOT the roof overhangs which may be
closer to the lot lines. Cantilevered elements such as chimney flues or bay windows with widths
no greater than 10’ may encroach into the specified setbacks by no more than 2’. No structure,
roof eaves, window wells or cantilevered elements may encroachment into any easement. The
DRC and City of Loveland Planning staff, working in partnership, are authorized to grant
variations to these setback distances in extenuating circumstances provided that the varied
setback distances are fully compliant with the requirements set forth in Chapter 18.12 of the
Loveland Municipal Code.

provided that a minimum setback of 20’ is provided from the Two Moons Drive right of way.
Lots 29-31, & 34 of Block 1 and Lots 12 & 16 of Block 2 are geometrically constrained and may
use the setbacks described in Sections 18.12.060 and 18.12.070 of the Loveland Municipal Code.
Accessory Structures
Accessory buildings (sheds, storage structures, outbuildings, greenhouses, gazebos, hot tub
enclosures, secondary garages, etc.) provided that the structure is permanently anchored to the
ground, architecturally compatible with the primary dwelling, situated in close proximity to the
dwelling, and constructed using the same materials as found in the construction of the dwelling.
Accessory structures shall have a minimum setback of 5' from side or rear lot lines (with the
exception of Lots 4-28 of Block 1 where the minimum setback to the rear lot line shall be 20’).
Accessory structures are not allowed to encroach into easements or right-of-ways, regardless of
setback requirements.
Pools and Play Structures

be approved by the DRC if the play structure does not exceed 8’ in height and is located within a
rear yard. Placement shall maximize separation from neighboring yards to minimize potential
noise impacts. Play structures shall be painted in subdued earth tone colors designed to blend in
with the home, and shall be screened with landscaping so that at least 75% of the area or object is
hidden from the view of the adjacent properties.
Awnings. No metal, fiberglass, or fabric awnings or roofs shall be permitted over decks and no
patio enclosures shall be allowed on any Lot unless the building materials and architecture are
consistent with the home and are approved by the Design Review Committee.
Fencing
The developer will install and the HOA will maintain a 5’ tall, powder coated, three rail, smooth
top, ornamental steel fence around the outer boundary of the Property. Side yard fencing (4’ or
5’ tall) installed by a lot owner between estate lots may be approved by the DRC if the fence is
constructed of Montage Plus Majestic 3-rail post and panel materials manufactured by Ameristar
Fence Products and is not installed closer to the street than the home. Side yard fences are
discouraged between the villa lots, but may be approved by the DRC if the side yard fences meet
the requirements above for estate lots and are equipped with 48” wide (minimum) gate openings
where needed to accommodate access to the front yard and contiguous rear yard turf areas for
landscaping maintenance personnel and equipment. The home owner is responsible to contain
any household pets indoors and the HOA is held harmless from any responsibility for pets
escaping thru any fenced yard gate opened by landscaping maintenance personnel. Chain link,
privacy, or solid fencing of any type is prohibited along any lot line. Courtyard walls with a
height no greater than 5’ are permitted within the building envelope for the purpose of screening
outdoor living areas or containing pets. Such enclosures shall be consistent with the architectural
character and materials of the home, and should appear as an integral extension of the home. All
fencing shall be located entirely within the boundaries of the lot on which they are located, and
shall not block approved drainage patterns from adjacent parcels. Chain link dog runs/enclosures
are prohibited.
Site Drainage and Grading
No structures or landscape elements shall be placed on the property in a manner that may disturb
the finished-engineered topography. Finish grading shall not create ponding or washing of water
off the site on to adjacent property. The builder, homeowner or HOA shall not modify
engineered drainage swales and drainage structures. Drainage shall be directed away from all
residential structures. Newly graded areas shall be protected against soil erosion. Owners are
encouraged to utilize soils engineers and landscape professionals to help ensure proper drainage
in maintained.
Residential/Landscape Lighting
No exterior lighting other than that provided by the home builder shall be allowed on any
residential lot except with the written approval of the DRC. The DRC requires illumination of
the home address plaque and may allow subdued exterior landscape lighting where the light
source is directed downwards to reduce glare for such purpose as illuminating entrances, decks,

16. driveways, landscaping and parking areas. Seasonal decoration and lighting are allowed without
DRC approval.
Driveways, Sidewalks, Porches, and entry steps
Decorative elements including, but not limited to, colored surface staining, integral color, sawcut
patterns, or formed patterns shall be incorporated into a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%)
of the concrete surface area visible from the public street right of way for all private driveways,
sidewalks, porches, and entry steps. Flagstone, slate, pavers, tile, or other decorative elements
may also be used in lieu of concrete paving. Driveway widths shall not exceed thirty (30) feet at
the back of walk or curb. Width may increase to match the garage width at the structure.
Driveways shall not be expanded without the specific prior approval of the DRC.
Traffic Control Sign Posts
One design objective of The Overlook is to reflect the land’s natural textures and colors.
Another is to establish design features within the project that harmonize with the country setting
and provide a soft and visible transition to the open, rural environment located west of the
property. In an effort to meet these objectives, it is proposed that the hard, urban look and
texture of the City’s standard perforated steel sign posts be softened by the addition of a timber
veneer as shown in the final public improvement construction plans. This will replicate the
historic appearance of the 6”x6” sign posts used in the past, perpetuate the structural support and
failure mechanism of the standard steel posts, and respect the maintenance and tooling realities
of City traffic crews. The timber veneer will be installed by the applicant and maintained by an
ATTSA certified technician retained by the HOA. The City of Loveland Public Works
Department will have NO responsibility to remove or reinstall the timber veneer in the event that
traffic control signs are knocked down and replaced in the future by the City traffic crews.
Neighborhood Entry Gates
The Overlook is an approved gated community. Electronically controlled entry gates will
restrict access at the entry roadways. Access codes will be provided to public utility and
emergency service providers by the HOA. Two electronic RF transmitters will be provided to
each Lot Owner by the HOA at the time of home purchase for remote opening control of the
entry gates. All gates and operational equipment shall be owned and maintained by the HOA,
and shall be removed pursuant to the terms of the Revocable Right of Way Encroachment Permit
if deemed necessary by the City Traffic Engineer or the terms of the Special Permit issued by the
Loveland Fire Prevention Bureau. Video or manned security is not proposed or intended at the
gated entries. Sidewalk gates and emergency access gates will not be locked or electronically
controlled. The HOA Board of Directors reserves the right to utilize clock and timer controls to
keep the gates open during prolonged periods as needed to accommodate home construction
activities, special events, or other needs as determined by the Board.
Postal Boxes
The Developer shall install, and the HOA shall maintain, all mail box cluster units, the timber
and stone canopies, and the decorative stamped concrete walkways servicing the mail boxes at
each project entry. No individual mail delivery boxes are permitted within the Overlook at
Mariana First Subdivision.

17. DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
General
These procedures are published to assist Owners and Builders in complying with the Covenant
provisions of The Overlook and to encourage all residential construction to be completed in
conformity with the provisions for architectural control. The Design review committee (DRC)
has final approval authority for the plans submitted. Individual items may be waived or other
requirements added to produce an acceptable outcome or may be varied by location and lot to
enhance compatibility. Approval will be based upon conformance with the submittal
requirements, architectural standards, and the construction regulations described herein. The
intent of the review process is to ensure that each home has individual design quality and
integrity while remaining compatible with the overall neighborhood. Plan approval must be
obtained in writing from the DRC prior to filing a building permit application with the City of
Loveland. A copy of the written DRC approval shall be submitted by the Lot Owner to the City
with the building permit application.
Predesign Conference
Each Owner is required to attend a Predesign Conference with the DRC to present and discuss
the Builder’s or Owner’s plans, sketches, or conceptual elevation and site plan drawings at any
stage before formal submittal of a completed design. This process is intended to help Owners
avoid the expense and frustration of a possible DRC disapproval of a formal submittal. No
review fee will be charged for this conceptual submittal.
Preparation of Drawings or Plans
The DRC requires all submittals to list the address and legal description of the property and the
name and address of the property owner. Submittal must be made prior to commencement of
work on any improvement to the Property. The submittal must include descriptions, surveys,
plot plans, drainage plans, elevation drawings, construction plans, specifications and samples of
materials and colors as the DRC may reasonable request showing the nature, kind, shape, height,
width, color, materials and location of the proposed improvement. For landscape plans, the
materials to be submitted will not have to be professionally prepared by an architect, a landscape
architect or draftsman. A simple drawing and description will be sufficient. In the case of major
improvements, such as room additions, structural changes or accessory building construction,
detailed plans and specifications, prepared by a licensed professional, may be required. Whether
done by the Owner or a design professional, the following guidelines should be utilized in
preparing drawings or plans:
a. The drawing or plan should be done to scale and should depict the property lines
of the Lot and the outside boundary lines of the home to be situated on the Lot. A
copy of the subdivision plat is an excellent base from which to draw. Be certain
to refer to the approved Grading Plan on file with the City of Loveland and show
the specified information for the Lot on the Site Plan. Existing improvements,
such existing improvements include walks, fences, trees, bushes, etc. should be
shown.
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 17 of 24
18. b. The proposed improvements should be shown on the plan and labeled. Either on
the plan or on an attachment, there should be a brief description of the proposed
improvement, including the materials to be used and the colors. (Example:
Redwood deck, 10’x12’ with 2”x6” decking. Natural stain.)
c. The plan or drawing and other materials should show the name of the property
owner, the address of the home and a telephone number where the property owner
can be reached, and the parcel legal description & address.
Submission of Drawings and Plans
The applicant shall complete the “Design Review Committee Approval Application” form by
checking off the items that are specific to the request, and confirming that these items are
addressed on the drawings or plans. A copy of this form is attached. Samples of exterior color
selections must be submitted for DRC approval using the form provided below. One copy of the
drawing or plan must be submitted to the DRC and will be retained in the DRC files. Before
construction begins each Owner must submit the following items for review by the DRC, and all
submittals are to be clearly marked with the Owner’s name and phone number, mailing address,
lot number and address:
a. Design Review Committee Approval Application form completed by the
Builder/Owner.
b. Site Plan (1 copy measuring 8.5” x 11”) which includes all the information listed on
the Design Review Committee Approval Application form.
c. Construction Drawings (1 set drawn at a scale not less than ¼” = 1’) indicating:
i. Exterior elevations (all sides) showing dimensioned trim, rail, and door
details.
ii. Indications of exterior material with percentages calculated and shown.
iii. Exterior details including chimneys, exterior stairs, decks, railings and
columns, and location of required illuminated address plaque on the front
elevation.
iv. Roof plan indicating all proposed pitches.
d. Exterior Colors Selections form completed by the applicant showing actual color
samples of exterior finishes and paint colors. Photos or samples of roofing, brick, or
stone may be submitted to depict color, texture, specifications, and warranty details.
e. Landscape and Fencing Plans. One copy of the landscape plan shall be submitted
which shows the proposed location and type of trees & shrubs, fencing, grass, rock,
berms, fountains or ponds, terracing, retaining walls, decorative features, lighting,
dog runs, etc. Please attach a copy of the fence detail specific to your lot so that there
is no confusion as to criteria. Additional construction to a home or landscaping after
completion of an approved site must be submitted to DRC for approval prior to
initiating such changes or additions. The landscape plan may be submitted
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 18 of 24
19. concurrently with the house plans, or separately at a subsequent date not later than
twelve (12) months after commencement of the home construction.
DRC Review & Fees
Review. Upon receipt of a complete application as described above, the DRC will provide one
review, a written response, confirm satisfactory corrections are shown on one re-submittal, and
then approve or deny the application at no cost to the Applicant. If the Applicant has not
satisfactorily addressed the DRC comments on the resubmittal, no further review will be
performed until a resubmittal fee in the amount of $200 is paid by the Applicant for each
additional resubmittal. The DRC will strive to provide a written response within 10 working
days after each submittal. DRC approval of plans is valid for twelve (12) months. Construction
must begin within this period or, if not, the DRC, at its sole option and discretion, may extend
the approval period or require plans to be re-submitted and reviewed again, as if they had not
been submitted or reviewed before. All home and landscaping construction shall be completed
within 18 months after DRC approval of the home plans.
HOA Fees. The DRC will not approve any plan for construction until any outstanding and
unpaid HOA assessment, dues, or transfer fees are brought current and paid by the Owner.
Other Fees. If the DRC, in its sole discretion, feels the need to retain a licensed Architect to
perform, assist in, or expedite the plan review, the cost for said professional assistance will be
charged to the Applicant. No separate fee is required for submittal and review of the landscape
plan. The DRC may adjust the fee schedule for submittals and review at any time.
Construction Cleanup
Property values are enhanced when a neighborhood is kept clean and inviting. All Lot Owners
and Builders within The Overlook have a responsibility to each other to conduct their
construction and landscaping activities in a way that maintains the cleanliness and aesthetics of
the neighborhood. This will remain a great community if all Lot Owners hold each other
accountable to the following requirements:
a. Keep each site neat and orderly. Building materials are to be stored in a secure location.
The street is NOT a permissible location for temporary storage of landscaping materials
or construction products. City regulations require weeds be cut as needed to maintain a
height less than 8”. Recycling of unused timber materials demonstrates good stewardship
and is strongly encouraged.
b. Each Lot should have its own temporary power source and portable toilet during home
construction unless several Owners or Builders have agreed to share the cost and
maintenance responsibilities for these facilities.
c. Each Builder is required to maintain an individual dumpster on each Lot during
construction to contain construction waste and prevent transport of construction waste by
the wind. Trash containers must have solid sides and be covered with a lid, tarp, or
net. All wind-blown trash from the Builder’s lot must be retrieved and properly disposed
of by the Builder within 48 hours of receipt of written notification from the DRC. If the
wind-blown trash is not collected within the specified time limit, the cleanup will be
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 19 of 24
20. completed by the DRC and the cost of such cleanup shall be billed to the Builder and/or
Owner. No one enjoys picking up after others.
d. All concrete trucks are required to wash out in the central washout site. This site is to be
maintained cooperatively by the Preferred Builders. No concrete trucks are permitted to
wash out elsewhere offsite or on the lot to which they delivered concrete.
e. No construction activity that generates any noise heard off the Lot shall commence
before 7am or after 7pm on weekdays and Saturdays, or before 9am or after 5pm on
Sundays.
f. Construction vehicles should not be parked in front of completed homes not owned by
the Builder.
g. Motor vehicles shall be parked on paved or gravel surfaces at all times. Completion of
concrete driveway slabs or temporary gravel parking pads early in the construction
process is encouraged so that clean parking areas are available throughout the
construction process. Delivery of materials and landscaping activities shall be scheduled
and performed in such a manner as to eliminate tracking of dirt and/or mud onto the
sidewalks and paved roadways. Should the tracking of dirt or mud occur, the Builder
and/or Owner are responsible for the cleanup of such dirt or mud. If the dirt or mud is
not cleaned up within within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of written notification from
the DRC or Property Manager, the cleanup may be completed by the DRC and the cost of
such cleanup shall be billed to the Builder and/or Owner.
h. Adjoining vacant lot(s) may NOT be used for the temporary storage of excavated soil or
building materials unless the Builder first obtains permission from the Lot Owner. The
adjoining vacant lot shall be kept clean and any disturbance to the contour or vegetation
shall be promptly restored upon completion of the construction.
i. No dirt from the excavation of foundations shall be removed from the Property without
the approval of the Developer (expansive claystone excepted). In situations where excess
dirt cannot be used on a Lot to achieve the approved drainage contours, the dirt shall be
hauled by the Owner, or his designated representative, to a location within, or adjacent to
the Property, as directed by the Developer, for future use by others. In the event that no
suitable disposal area within the Property is identified by the Developer, the Owner shall
be responsible to find a suitable disposal site off site from the Property.
j. Installation of landscaping should occur as soon as possible after completion of the home
construction. Wind and water transport of dirt and mud is annoying to everyone. The
beauty of The Overlook literally blossoms when the landscaping receives special care
and attention.
The DRC trusts that the Owners and Builders will demonstrate proactive responsibility for to
maintain high standards of cleanliness and compliance through the build-out period. However, if
in the sole judgment of the DRC, the Owner and/or Builder fails to comply with this
requirement, the Certificate of Compliance will be withheld until compliance occurs, and a fine
may be assessed against the Owner and/or Builder. Furthermore, the DRC may take actions to
Revised 31 October 2008
Page 20 of 24
21. maintain lots, clean up dirt, remove trash, etc., from any lot or adjoining roadway or open space
not adequately maintained or properly kept. Any costs for such cleanup will be assessed to the
Builder/Owner and may result in the placement of a lien on the Lot if the costs are not
reimbursed by the Builder/Owner.
Compliance Inspections
This City of Loveland Building Division will not issue a Certificate of Occupancy until it
receives a signed Certificate of Compliance issued by the DRC. No home within The
Overlook may be occupied until these certificates are issued. The DRC will consider issuance
of a Temporary Certificate of Compliance prior to completion of the landscaping if requested by
the Owner or Builder. Issuance will be based on an inspection of the home exterior conducted
by the DRC to verify substantial completion of the improvements in accordance with the plans
and specifications approved by the DRC.
After the house and landscaping are completed, a final inspection will be conducted. The
issuance of a Certificate of Compliance issued by the DRC documents the Owner’s completion
of their approved construction in compliance with the requirements set forth in the covenants.
This must be completed no later than 18 months after application.
Field Revisions
It is understood that great ideas triggering revisions to the approved plans sometimes occur
during the construction process. The Owner/Builder is reminded that such revisions/alterations
may not be commenced until plans for the revised improvements have been approved by
the Design Review Committee. If the revisions are discussed early before construction of the
change occurs, the unpleasant awkwardness associated with a DRC request to remove the
revision after it is completed can be eliminated.
