Blanco Vista's vision is also reflected in thoughtful architectural guidelines which enhance the visual appeal of neighborhood streets and preserve value. The intent of these guidelines is to direct proportions, architectural elements and materials of the neighborhood to present an expression of harmony. The general architectural theme will encourage homes of traditional styling with thoughtful attention to detail. Through

g 210277 40 Page 14 of 44 2.0 Design Guidelines 2.1 Building/Site Relationship Careful siting of the dwelling footprint and driveway on the lot can maximize the site's character. Existing vegetation can be preserved, potential views can be enhanced, privacy can be created, and outdoor spaces can be optimized.

Siting should reflect careful consideration of lot characteristics, relationship and orientation. Building mass, siting and style may be adjusted on a lot-to-lot basis to enhance the streetscape. Setback may be increased accordingly, and variances may be granted for unusual topographical situations, at the sole discretion of the Architectural Committee.
