BOOT RANCH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
1 - GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1
Preface
The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide a smooth design and construction process for all of the homes at Boot Ranch. The goal is to aid the Owner, design professionals and building contractors in creating a home that complements the Hill Country setting and is aesthetically pleasing from neighboring lots and the golf course. It is our objective to ensure that the golf course, the existing and proposed homes, and the natural scene flow together with each other. With the desire to expand architectural styles, it is imperative to blend the new styles with the current architecture, to refine details with new materials, to blend in rather than stand out. The Boot Ranch Architectural Review Board looks forward to working with Owners and design professionals to create a home of casual elegance, Texas style!
1.2
The Role of the Architectural Review Board
The Architectural Review Board should be viewed as a member of the Owner’s design team and not as an adversary. The primary role of the ARB is to clearly communicate and implement the design standards within Boot Ranch such that the standards are reflected in the completed homes and other improvements throughout the community. The process that will be used to aid in achieving these results is explained in detail in this document. These Guidelines are a Document under the Declaration, and may be amended from time to time by the Sponsor, as such term is defined in the Declaration, as necessary to achieve the goals set forth herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Declaration and the terms of the Guidelines, the terms of the Declaration shall control.
1.3
Key Elements of Composition
In order to achieve the high standards of design within Boot Ranch, the following Elements of Composition will assist in creating a truly excellent design. 1. Site Integration: Each custom, new home in Boot Ranch should be properly integrated into the setting. This includes proper siting within the setbacks (distance by which a building is set back from the property line) and building envelopes, establishing floor elevations that respond to the grade, providing adequate drainage to respond to the existing natural and proposed future flows, and selecting appropriate exterior materials. Typically, minimum setbacks are 30’-0” from each side and rear property and at least 75’-0” from the front property line for lots located in Phase 1 and 30’-0” on all sides for lots located in Phase 2. One level homes will be allowed with proper design of retaining walls that are integrated into the overall design as determined by the ARB.
