Dear Fieldcreek Estates Lot Owner:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of recent changes at Fieldcreek
Estates
with regard to the policies and procedures of the Architectural Committee which
may affect you as an Owner of an undeveloped lot.
Fieldcreek Estates is a development of custom homes, and therefore, homes should be designed
for the particular contours and elevations of the lot. Please do not submit
plans which will require excessive or inappropriate site cutting or filling.
These factors are strongly taken onto consideration by the Architectural
Committee during the approval process. The Committee strongly recommends that
you contact them at the very start of your design process for input as to the
design intent and site planning. It is also recommended that you submit a
preliminary site plan and elevations before beginning the construction drawings.
In
order to avoid unnecessary delays, please review the submittal form carefully,
and make sure that everything on the check list has been provided. By
contacting the Committee early and allowing sufficient time for review and
input, needless expense and delay will be avoided. Please allow time for this
process!
All plans submitted to the Committee must have a Landscaping Plan which accounts for
the entire lot area. All areas must be clearly identified (ie: landscape, turf,
decorative gravel, bark, etc.). All plantings must be identified (although a
complete plant list with sizes and quantities is not an absolute requirement).
The requirement for three(3) evergreen 20 gallon plantings in the front of the house remains in effect. If your lot contains
substantial native vegetation, it can be identified on the plans as such and it
must be noted as having a 3’ protective construction fence until construction
is complete. It is the intent of the Committee to ensure that the lot is
landscaped within the time allowed by the CC&’R’s. We are aware that
your ideas may change, and the Committee will accept revisions to the original
landscape plans.
We will require a copy of the Certificate of Occupancy as soon as it is issued or
within fourteen days, so we can keep better track of the one-year time limit
from issuance of the C of O to complete landscaping. Fines may be levied by the
Homeowner’s Association against the property owner for non-compliance.
Please remind your Realtor to use the approved Fieldcreek “For Sale” signs. You can
check with our committee for details.
We will be happy to discuss these or any other design issues with you. Please call
Eugene Burger Management, 5011 Meadowood Mall Way, Suite 200, Reno, NV 89502. Phone:
775-828-3664.
Sincerely,

FIELDCREEK
ESTATES
ARCHITECTURAL
COMMITTEE RULES
A.
PLANS MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BEFORE STARTING ANY PROJECT.
(“Project” includes any house, garage, outbuilding, retaining
wall, landscaping, pool, fence or barrier of any kind, deck, arbor, gazebo,
patio, dog run, storage structure or any other structure.)
B. THE FIELDCREEK ESTATES ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED CERTAIN RULES
PER THE CC&R’S THAT MUST BE ADHERED TO.
THESE RULES ARE INDICATED IN THIS PARAGRAPH:
1.
The Architectural Committee strongly encourages a “site-specific”
plan for each lot. That can best be
described as a plan that is designed specifically for the topography of the site
the structure is to be placed upon. The
structure should be designed to minimize the disturbance of the existing
topography.
2.
From time to time, and at the sole discretion of the Architectural
Committee, a floor plan may be duplicated if there is a substantial difference
in the exterior appearance of the elevations.
The Architectural Committee shall determine whether or not a substantial
difference exists. The owner or
builder is encouraged to contact the Architectural Committee prior to submitting
a duplicated plan to insure that it will be acceptable to the Committee.
3.
Structures constructed on corner lots must have consistent treatment of
elevations facing both streets.
4.
Wainscots used only along a street face of a structure must be returned a
minimum of 48 inches at each corner of the house.
It is preferred that the wainscot be returned to the next corner or a
vertical stopping point such as a window, door, etc.
5.
Composition roofing is acceptable only if the quality is equal to a
“Presidential” type shingle (Architectural 40-year shingle).
6.
All wood fencing should be of the “good neighbor” type (alternating
boards on either side of the fence), unless it is for the sole purpose of RV
storage, in which case it may be solid. Any
solid fence must be installed with the post and rails facing the center of the
property. Dog runs shall be
attached to the garage or rear of the house.
Brown coated chain link is preferred for dog runs, when chain link is
allowed. No solid fencing will be
allowed on rear or side yard set backs on any property that is adjacent to the
Golf Course. The Committee
recommends 4 ft. split 2-rail cedar.
7.
All builders are required to inform their buyers that RV’s may not be
kept at the residence for more than one day, until an enclosure approved by the
Architectural Committee has been constructed.
In addition, they must also inform their buyer of the landscape
provisions of the CC&R’s.
8.
Before the placement of satellite dishes, you must apply to the
Architectural Committee for approval. Please
include the size of the dish, and the placement.
9.
The use of asphalt driveways is strongly discouraged. The Architectural Committee shall allow asphalt driveways
only in selected cases and away from the streets.
10.
The use of vinyl siding, cementious siding, aluminum siding, plywood
siding, such at T-111, or tempered hardboard siding is prohibited.
11.
All lots are to share a mailbox with an adjacent lot. The enclosures must be of an approved design.
Check with the Architectural Committee for the location of the mailbox
for specific lots.
12.
Basketball courts must be approved by the Architectural Committee, and
your surrounding neighbors. The two
neighbors most affected must sign a letter of approval.
13.
The contractor rules, provided by the Architectural Committee, must be
posted on the construction site at all times in a weatherproof device that is
visible from the street. Owners
and/or contractors who fail to comply with the requirement will be subject to
fines.
CONTRACTOR
RULES MUST BE
VISIBLE FROM THE STREET AT ALL TIMES.
14.
Solar Units
a) Solar Units not on the roof shall be maintained a minimum
of 10 feet from the property line and concealed from the neighboring view. A
fence or wall of sufficient height may be appropriate for this purpose.
b) Solar Units on the
roof shall be within the wall line of the structure.
However, the Architectural Committee may require more roof area between
the Solar Units and the roof edge if the roof overhang is minimal.
c) Solar Units shall be
in or below the plane or roofing material.
d) Solar Units shall be constructed of rigid materials.
The Architectural Committee may ask for alternative combinations in
smaller groupings when large areas of grouped solar panels are found not to be
aesthetically satisfactory.
e) Solar Units shall not be visible from any street affronting
the property.
15.
The Architectural Committee reserves the right to modify, add to or
eliminate any Architectural Committee rules at its discretion.
16.
Preliminary design drawings and site plans may be submitted for comments
and suggestions from the Architectural Committee as to any potential problems or
conflicts with Committee rules. Such
preliminary reviews are on an informal and noncommittal basis only.
The final submittal will be reviewed in its entirety by the Committee to
ensure compliance with all rules and regulations of the Fieldcreek Ranch Estates
CC&R’s and Architectural Committee rules and regulations.
