Revised 09/10 360 399-401 401 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS § 3-100 Section 3-000. Introduction.

(a) One of the responsibilities of the Woodbridge Village Association is the control of the physical character of the village to enhance the desirability and attractiveness of the community.

(b) The Woodbridge Village Association is charged with the administration and enforcement of architectural control within the community by the authority given to it in the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ('CC&Rs').

(c) The CC&Rs provide for an Architectural Committee with the authority to review and approve all Home Improvement Applications and associated drawings submitted to it for all architectural improvements within the village. The CC&Rs also provide the Board of Directors the authority to establish Architectural Standards to be administered by the Architectural Committee. These Architectural Guidelines and Standards apply to all single family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums within the Village.

Where applicable, the term “owner”, “homeowner”, and “property owner" shall also mean and include all Maintenance Associations within the Village.

(d) The Architectural Committee members are volunteers who serve as an arm of

rm “owner”, “homeowner”, and “property owner" shall also mean and include all Maintenance Associations within the Village.

(d) The Architectural Committee members are volunteers who serve as an arm of the Board of Directors. They must have a desire and an appropriate background to review homeowner applications. They are appointed by the Board of Directors.

(e) The Architectural Committee is assisted by the Community Relations staff members who act as liaisons between the homeowner and the committee, providing adequate information to the committee on each application. This department works with the homeowners during the review process, and the staff are available by telephone or at the Association's office to answer any questions.

(f) Pursuant to the Master Declaration and the Membership Agreement, owners of property in Woodbridge have agreed that the Architectural Committee may adopt reasonable architectural standards. Accordingly, the owners have agreed to be bound by these Architectural Standards.

(g) The CC&Rs provide the authority to establish procedural rules and to assess reasonable fees appropriate to the type and nature of the proposed improvement for which an application has been submitted.

(Revised and Restated 4-7-99) Section 3-100. Purpose of Architectural Standards.

(a) The purpose of these Architectural Standards ('Standards') is to continue the physical character as established by the initial development of the village, consistent with the City of Irvine zoning. The intent is to give specific design criteria to residential property owners for subsequent improvements after the completion of original construction.

Revised 09/10 361 § 3-100 WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION CODE (b) The Standards are written to preserve a high quality of appearance, to assure

rovements after the completion of original construction.

Revised 09/10 361 § 3-100 WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION CODE (b) The Standards are written to preserve a high quality of appearance, to assure compatibility among improvements, and to protect and enhance the community's overall value. They are intended to be used by property owners and consultants in preparing Home Improvement Applications and associated drawings for architectural, landscape, and other improvements; and by the Architectural Committee in reviewing these documents for conformance with the stated objectives.

(c) The Architectural Committee reviews proposed improvements for aesthetic purposes only. It is the property owner's responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, and local building codes. A permit may be required from the City of Irvine Building Department or other governmental agencies prior to starting construction.

(d) Approval from the Architectural Committee is required prior to construction of all improvements that meet any of the following criteria: (1) All exterior structures (as defined in Article I, Section 34 of the CC&R's) or alterations that are visible from public or private sidewalks or streets, trails, walkways, greenbelts and parks. Examples include, but are not limited to, room additions, awnings, front doors, French doors, garage doors, planters, fountains, statues, benches, walkways, driveways, pilasters, exterior lighting, permanent and portable basketball backboards, screen doors, weather vanes, flagpoles, banners, and certain satellite dishes.

(2) All exterior structures (as defined in Article I, Section 34 of the CC&Rs) that are not visible but exceed three (3) feet above the ground level of the owner's

(2) All exterior structures (as defined in Article I, Section 34 of the CC&Rs) that are not visible but exceed three (3) feet above the ground level of the owner's lot. Examples include, but are not limited to, patio covers, planters, play structures or sheds, retaining walls, and weather vanes, and permanent barbecues. [Except for portable play equipment/toys which do not require approval unless they exceed five (5) feet in height from ground level. See Section 3-228 (h) for more details.] (3) All electrical, mechanical, and communication equipment. Examples include, but are not limited to, air conditioners, spa/swimming pool equipment, fountains, waterfall pumps, antennas, and certain satellite dishes.

(4) All landscaping which does not meet the landscape standards listed below in Sections 3-224, 3-225 and 3-226.

(5) All painting of the exterior of the house, building, fence, garden walls or any other exterior structures. (Repair and/or touch-up painting does not need approval, as long as existing exterior colors are being used.)

(e) Failure to obtain the necessary approval from the Architectural Committee prior to commencement of work will constitute a violation of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions; and may (1) Result in a fine being levied against the property; Revised 09/10 362 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS § 3-200 (2) Require modification or removal of unauthorized work at the expense of the homeowner.

(Revised and Restated 4-7-99) Section 3-200. Architectural Standards; Introduction.

(a) The architectural character of Woodbridge is established by the initial development, consisting of single-family detached homes, townhomes, condominiums,

00. Architectural Standards; Introduction.

(a) The architectural character of Woodbridge is established by the initial development, consisting of single-family detached homes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments with a variety of architectural expressions. Subsequent architectural improvements must be compatible with the original design of the tract.

(b) This Section 3-200 and Sections 3-201 through 3-230 inclusive, contain the Association's Architectural Standards for building materials, colors, and forms which are expressive of the community's architectural character; and which will be used by the Architectural Committee in reviewing Home Improvement Applications for compatibility with the tract.

(c) Compliance with the Standards shall not eliminate the need for Architectural Committee approval. Compliance with the Standards shall be determined by the Architectural Committee as part of the approval process. Nevertheless, the Association shall have the right to disapprove in any event any application which in the opinion of the Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, is not compatible with the architectural character of the applicable tract, or is not an enhancement to the desirability and attractiveness of the community.

(d) Any condition not covered in these Guidelines or the CC&Rs shall become a matter of discretionary judgment on the part of the Architectural Committee, acting in good faith on behalf of the best interest of the Village Association, as a whole. If there is any conflict between the provisions of these Guidelines and the CC&Rs, the provisions of the CC&Rs shall control.

Elevations that are determined to propose an unacceptable massing effect may be required to provide additional setbacks and/or to incorporate alternative architectural styles (such as hip style roofs and/or alternative materials).

Homeowners of corner lot dwellings will be required to incorporate architectural style and materials on the street side elevation (in addition to the front elevation) to reduce the negative impact on open space and adjacent homes.

(f) The minimum setback from the face of the street curb to the face of the garage wall shall not be reduced.

(g) The minimum setback of a first story room addition in a front yard shall be five (5) feet behind the face of the garage wall or other building structure closest to the front property line. The minimum setback of a second story room addition or balcony shall be two (2) feet behind the face of the first story wall below. In addition, on a case-by-case basis, additional setback may be required for a second story room addition in the front yard depending upon the proximity of the home to the street and the proximity of the home to neighboring homes.

363 Revised 09/10 § 3-200 WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION CODE (h) The minimum setback of a first story room addition in a side yard at a corner lot shall be the existing house wall closest to the side street. The minimum setback of a second story room addition or balcony shall be two (2) feet behind the face of the first story wall below.

(k) The minimum setback from the face of a room addition in a side yard shall be ten (10) feet from the face of the adjacent house. For exclusive use common areas in condominium projects, provided the Maintenance Association grants property rights, the minimum setback of a 1st story room addition shall be five (5) feet from the existing side fences or walls and ten (10) feet from the existing rear fence or wall. The minimum setback of a 2nd story room addition shall be five (5) feet from the existing side fences or walls and fifteen (15) feet from the existing rear fence or wall. Other improvements in side yards shall be restricted to non-inhabitable improvements, such as bay or garden windows, patio covers, and fireplaces.

(Revised 10-3-01) (1) The maximum roof ridge height of any new construction may not exceed twentyfive (25) feet six (6) inches.

(Added 12-3-03) (Revised and Restated 4-7-99) Section 3-201. Awnings and Patio Umbrellas.

(Revised and Restated 4-7-99, Revised 6-5-02) Section 3-204. Antennas, Satellite Dishes and Other Communication Equipment.

(a) Article XI, Section 10 of the Woodbridge Declaration states that all radio antennas, television antennas, C. B. antennas, satellite dishes and other transmitting

Page 8

and Other Communication Equipment.

(a) Article XI, Section 10 of the Woodbridge Declaration states that all radio antennas, television antennas, C. B. antennas, satellite dishes and other transmitting or receiving device must either be wholly contained within a house or building, or be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued regulations which could supersede the Declaration in certain ways. In addition, the California Civil Code contains certain provisions which are effective with respect to installation of devices on common areas. Therefore, the 365 Revised 09/10 § 3-204 WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION CODE following regulations are intended to comply with the FCC regulations, the California Civil Code and the Woodbridge Declaration, as applicable. These regulations are subject to modification to comply with any new Federal or State laws or FCC regulations.

Please check with the Association before installation.

(b) (1) If you want to install a satellite dish of one (1) meter or less ("DBS”), a multichannel multipoint distribution service device (“MMDS”) or a television broadcast service antenna ("TVBS”), on a single family detached home or on an exclusive use common area in a condominium, townhome or apartment, please refer to Section (b).

(2) If you want to install one of the above devices on the common area of a condominium, townhome or apartment over which you do not have exclusive use or control, please refer to Sections (c) and (d).

(3) If you want to install a satellite dish greater than one (1) meter, please refer to Section (e).

Satellite dishes ("DBS") of one (1) meter or less, Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service Devices ("MMDS”) and Television Broadcast Service Antennas

n one (1) meter, please refer to Section (e).

Satellite dishes ("DBS") of one (1) meter or less, Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service Devices ("MMDS”) and Television Broadcast Service Antennas ("TVBS”) at single family detached homes, townhomes, condominium, and apartment projects at exclusive use common areas (areas in which the homeowner has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the area in which the device is sought to be installed, and that area is within his or her exclusive use or control): (1) The FCC has issued Regulations concerning the installation of the specified devices and did not want to require prior Architectural Committee review and permits, primarily because of the time delay. In Woodbridge, this review is thirty (30) days and often much less. The Association is, nevertheless, still allowed to regulate certain aspects of the appearance, location and installation of these devices. Our members, therefore, in order to continue the overall excellent aesthetic appearance of Woodbridge and to contribute to the Association's ability to maintain the Community's high standards, are urged to install their devices in such a manner as to be least visible.

(2) Also, Homeowners may ask for an advisory review by the Association before the initial installation of devices and are encouraged to do so. However, these devices described above may be installed without a Home Improvement Application, In either case, the homeowner shall nevertheless register such devices before or after installation. If in the opinion of the Architectural Committee, the device may be placed in a less visible location without increasing the cost of installation (and not including the initial installation cost accomplished without Architectural Review) maintenance or use, the

Page 9

may be placed in a less visible location without increasing the cost of installation (and not including the initial installation cost accomplished without Architectural Review) maintenance or use, the homeowner may be required to install it in, or move it to, that less visible location, or alternatively, screen it or paint it to blend in with the architectural design of the home.

Revised 09/10 366 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS § 3-204 (1) Homeowners proposing to install devices with masts of twelve (12) feet or more in excess of the roofline must file a Home Improvement Application first and receive approval before installing such a device.

(c) All satellite dishes greater than eighteen (18) inches but no greater than one (1) meter, all MMDS devices, and TVBS antennas for installation in Condominiums, Townhomes and Apartment Common Areas (areas in which the homeowner has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the area in which the device is sought to be installed, but that area is not within his or her exclusive use or control).

(1) A Home Improvement Application and approval is required before installation. Also, the applicable Maintenance Association must first determine that the proposed installation on common area is within the homeowner's property rights.

(2) Satellite dishes with a diameter of greater than eighteen (18) inches but no greater than one (1) meter present significant aesthetic issues such as a much greater mass than an eighteen (18) inch dish and/or non-harmonious architectural visual appearance in the case of antennas. Therefore, this type of satellite dish (18 inches to the one [1] meter), MMDS device, or TVBS antennas must be installed so that it is not visible from any street or

ppearance in the case of antennas. Therefore, this type of satellite dish (18 inches to the one [1] meter), MMDS device, or TVBS antennas must be installed so that it is not visible from any street or common area. Specifically, the dish or antenna shall not be visible from view from the adjacent streets, public sidewalks, trails, paseo, walkways, green belts, parks and surrounding properties by the use of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials. Such visual mitigation shall be designed so that the dish or antenna is screened from view upon installation.

(d) All satellite dishes eighteen (18) inches or less for installation in Condominiums, Townhomes and Apartment Common Areas (areas in which the homeowner has a direct or indirect ownership interest in the area in which the device is sought to be installed, but that area is not within his or her exclusive use or control).

(2) The eighteen (18) inch (or less) satellite dish shall, if at all possible, without significantly increasing the cost of this system or significantly decreasing the efficiency or performance, be installed so that it is not visible from any street or common area. Specifically, the dish or antenna shall not be visible from view from the adjacent streets, public sidewalks, trails, paseo, walkways, green belts, parks and surrounding properties by the use of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials. Such visual mitigation shall be designed so that the dish or antenna is screened from view upon installation.

Page 10

surrounding properties by the use of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials. Such visual mitigation shall be designed so that the dish or antenna is screened from view upon installation.

(3) For those (18) inch (or less) satellite dishes that cannot be fully screened from view as above delineated without or significantly interfering with its efficiency or performance, or significantly increasing the cost of the system, Revised 09/10 367 § 3-204 (e) WOODBRIDGE VILLAGE ASSOCIATION CODE (4) the Architectural Committee will review the possible visual mitigation on a case by case basis, with a view toward reasonably minimizing its visual impact.

All Satellite Dishes with a diameter greater than one (1) meter.

(2) The dish antenna shall be ground-mounted at the lot's grade level. All dish antennas shall be located in such a manner as to be behind a wall or solid fence. Where possible, side and rear yard setbacks of five (5) feet will be maintained from the property line.

(3) The height of the adjoining finished grade to the topmost part of the antenna shall not exceed six (6) feet nor shall the topmost part of the antenna exceed eighteen (18) inches above the nearest fence.

(4) The dish antenna shall be screened from view from the adjacent streets, public sidewalks, trails, paseos, walkways, green belts, parks and surrounding properties by the use of fences, hedges, or other appropriate plant materials. Such visual mitigation shall be designed so that the dish or antenna is screened from view upon installation.

Pages 10–11

(5) Adjoining neighbors shall be informed by the requesting homeowner that there may be some sound/noise associated with the satellite dish when changing positions. Adjoining neighbors will acknowledge this awareness on the submitted plans and the Home Improvement Application.

The size, location, material, and color of new exterior doors shall be compatible with the exterior doors of the existing house or tract. At zero-lot-line walls, doors are not permitted on the side yard easement side of the dwelling. At homes where extensive demolition work is being conducted (tear downs with rebuilding), the doors must be compatible with the character of the doors already existing in the tract.

(c) New accent doors--such as French doors--must be painted to match the house trim, stucco or wood siding of dwelling and must be compatible with the design of the existing house. Metal or vinyl French doors must match the existing window frame color.
