1.0-lntroduction

1.1 Applicability This guide to Rules and Regulations ("Guide") is adopted pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation, and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, ("Declaration"). These documents provide for the establishment of reasonable rules and regulations concerning the use of individual lots and common areas. The Architectural Review Committee ("ARC") serves as representatives of the Board of Directors ("Board") while enforcing the Guide. Compliance with this Guide is required, but is not the sole basis for review or approval, nor does it guaranty approval of any application. In reviewing each application, the ARC may consider any factors it deems relevant. Decisions may be based purely on aesthetic considerations. Each owner acknowledges that determinations as to such matters are purely subjective in nature and that opinions may vary as to the desirability and attractiveness of a proposed addition or modification.

1.2 Purpose

This document is not intended to replace the Declaration, but to clarify the process by which homeowners may customize and modify the exterior presentation of their homes and/or lots. The intent is to provide consistent guidance to owners regarding requirements for additions and modifications to property in the community, and matters of particular concern to the ARC when considering applications for approval of such conditions and modifications. Additionally, the Guide sets forth various restrictions on other matters relating to community standards and the overall appearance of property in the community.

1.3 Application and Review Process

Unless otherwise specifically exempted by the Declaration or this Guide, each and every proposed exterior modification/addition to residential units or lots require prior approval of the ARC. Submit one copy of the Request for Architectural Approval form to Matthews Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc; PO Box 26844; Charlotte NC, 28221. The application can also be sent via email to [email protected]. Each application must include a copy of the lot survey showing the size and location of the proposed modification/addition as well as a list and description of the materials to be used. Color samples may assist the ARC in rendering its decision and expedite the review process. The ARC may require submission of such additional information as may be reasonably necessary to consider any application. Review of the application, and notification to the applicants shall be conducted as described in the Declaration. Where specifically permitted to proceed without prior approval, such permission shall only be effective so long as the Owner complies with every requirement of this Guide. The ARC is not responsible for ensuring structural integrity or compliance with state and local building codes. Homeowners must obtain all necessary building permits and other government approval that may be required for the proposed modification or addition.

If the resident does not maintain the changes as agreed, the Association will then remove the changes and restore the property to its original condition.

2.26Trees and Tree Trimming

• Trees on homeowner property should be maintained in a healthy condition. Trimming of these trees should be performed in accordance with Charlotte's Land Development Services Basic Pruning Standards. Trees should be allowed to grow to their natural height & form & they should not be topped off. In addition it states that any person owning or occupying real property bordering on any street where trees have branches, limbs, trunks, or other parts projecting into the public street or property shall prune such trees and keep them trimmed in such a manner that they will not obstruct or shade the streetlights, obstruct or interfere with the passage of pedestrians on sidewalks, obstruct vision of traffic signs, or obstruct views of any street or alley.

• Trimming that does not comply with the Basic Pruning Standards or that causes injury or damage to the tree(s) may result in penalties and/ or fines imposed by the HOA. If the damage is severe, the homeowner may be required to remove & replace the tree(s) at homeowner's expense.

• Please see attachment 3.5 (two pages) to view approved trimming standards.

2.27 Replacement of Original Oak Trees • Original oak trees that were planted in the front yards in Matthews Ridge may be removed and replaced in

at the homeowner’s expense. The same type oak tree (Willow Oak – Quercus phellos) that was there originally. American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana) Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) Trident Maple (Acer buergeranum) Black Tupelo (Nyssa Sylvatica)

review of placement guidelines from independent sources as well as the information provided by the manufacturers, it is clear that these devices cannot be safely installed in our neighborhood given the configuration of the houses and the size of the lots. The required placement guidelines address inherent issues such as asphyxiation from the production of carbon monoxide and fire risk of placing the device too close to flammable materials such as vinyl siding.

9

Matthews Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc • Use of portable generators is not recommended because they have the same safety issues mentioned above.
