First-floor exterior walls must be at least 75% masonry, stone, or brick. Roofs must be at least 13-grade Western Red Cedar shingles.
• Architectural review & completion timeline: No building, fence, or alteration may begin without written approval of the Architectural Control Committee (originally James W. Smith II, Paul L.
