ARCHITECTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL 

 From and after the date of conveyance of an improved lot by the Party of the First Part, no  building, fence, wall, satellite dish, TV antenna, radio antenna or other structure, swimming pool or tennis  court shall be commenced, erected or maintained on any lot within subdivision nor shall any exterior  addition to, removal of all or any part thereof, or exterior change or alteration in any improvement thereon  be made until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, material, color and  location of the same shall be submitted to and approved in writing as to harmony of external design, types  of material, colors and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography by the Trustees, or by  an Architectural Committee composed of three or more representatives appointed by the Trustees.  Reference herein to “Architectural Control Committee” shall refer either to the aforesaid committee if appointed and constituted, or to the Trustees, whichever happens to be acting at the time. In the event the  Architectural Control Committee fails to approve or disapprove any design, materials, colors and location  within forty-five (45) days after all required plans and specifications have been submitted to it (and fees, if  required, have been paid), the party submitting the plans and specifications may notify the Architectural  Control Committee to whom the plans and specifications have been submitted of its failure to approve or  disapprove said plans and specifications, and should the Architectural Control Committee fail to approve or  disapprove such plans and specifications within fifteen (15) days after receipt of said notice, approval will  not be required and this provision will be deemed complied with. The Architectural Control Committee is  authorized where it deems appropriate to charge a review fee for any submission to defray the cost of  reviews it conducts or authorizes.  

 It is the intent of this Indenture that all buildings and structures within the property shall be  constructed of attractive exterior materials of high quality. In its review of submissions, the Architectural  Control Committee shall evaluate the construction standards and building materials for all proposed  construction to insure that they are in conformance with such objectives. Accessory building enclosures  and appurtenant structures to or extrusions from any building or structure shall be of similar compatible  materials, design and construction. Exterior finishes once approved shall not be altered without express  consent of the Architectural Control Committee.  

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Trustees to approve any plan or  specification for any fence, satellite dishes, radio antenna, TV antenna or other structure. The Architectural  Control Committee shall have the power within one year following the erection of any structure or fence it  has approved to require the lot owner to landscape along such fence or structure. Landscaping may include  materials such as rambling rose, multiflora rose, evergreen shrubbery, or such other similar materials as  may be approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Chain link type fencing is specifically  prohibited as a fence or in use in conjunction with any other type of fence which may be approved.
