4.       To provide criteria for consistent decisions by the Design Review Committee ("DRC");                         5.       To determine appropriate uses for the common area and to preserve its quality and beauty for all Owners.              B.       Intent.   The Guidelines allow individual identity, yet complement an overall community theme. While the Guidelines ensure that each Lot or Improvement relates to the overall community image, they do not inhibit innovative design. They provide clear direction and specific criteria for evolving an overall sense of community.                                  To this end, Owners are encouraged to review this entire document to better understand the relationship of each Lot or Improvement to the total design goals of the Community. All residential development within The Sanctuary on the Park is to abide by the applicable criteria established by these Guidelines in addition to the development standards established by applicable local government.              C.       Relationship of these Guidelines to Other Regulations.                         1.       The Guidelines are not intended to supersede applicable federal, Colorado, or local codes or ordinances. In case of conflict or discrepancy, or for subjects not addressed in the Guidelines, the more restrictive Guidelines, governing agencies, codes and/or regulations shall take precedence.                         2.       The Guidelines are to be used by Owners when developing plans for consideration of Improvements or landscaping on individual properties.                         3.       The Guidelines will also be used by the DRC in reviewing proposals to determine their relative conformance to the overall design objectives and criteria.                         4.       The Guidelines are intended to cover each Lot or Improvement-specific issue, and Community issues such as edge treatments and relationships to adjacent land uses. The Guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the Declaration.              D.       How to Use these Guidelines.   The Guidelines are organized into major elements such as Architectural Design and Landscape Design, and procedural sections such as Submission of Plans by Owners and Owner Construction Period Rules. There are no established "number" of design criteria that must be met in each proposal. The relationship between or among design variables is dynamic, and each combination of elements is perceived differently. The Guidelines identify those elements that should be considered, and define performance characteristics the elements shall have -- but there is no "standard formula" for an "appropriate" design solution. In all instances, the DRC will consider the interrelationship of the design variables, and the specific criteria.              E.       Architectural Design Guidelines.   Compatibility with the established architectural theme is expected to be maintained.                         1.       Color. The color of exterior materials will be subdued to blend with the colors of the natural landscape. Earthtone color tones are recommended, although occasionally accent colors used judiciously and with restraint may be allowed. Use of highly chromatic or "bright" colors is to be avoided.                         2.       Materials. Exterior surfaces shall be materials that blend and are compatible with the Community and the landscape. Use of stucco and stone is preferred. Architectural "add-ons," appliques or obviously simulated materials shall not be acceptable.                         3.       Roofing. All roofing is Boral-Lifetile concrete tile. Any replacement of individual tiles or full roof replacement shall be the same tile and color, or an approved equal if same is no longer available. As of 12/2012, the approved replacement is :Slate Pre Alpine by Westile, Inc. in the color Rocky Mountain Green.                         4.       Building Projections -- Matching of Components. All projections including, but not limited to, chimney flues, vents, gutters, down spouts, porches, railings and exterior stairways, shall match the color of the surface from which they project or shall be of an approved color. Vents are to be painted to blend with the roofing.                         5.       Garages. Garage doors shall be painted a color that is compatible with the dwelling, not a contrasting color. Garage doors shall be kept closed when not in use.                         6.       Siding. Any replacement of siding or stucco shall be the same as existing materials, or an approved equivalent if same is no longer available, and shall be approved by the DRC.
