Sea Crest is being developed as a community with homes of high standards and quality. We recommend that any design presented for approval by the ARC be specifically designed for the Sea Crest lot that will allow the house to take advantage of views, lot contour/setback restrictions, seasonal sun path conditions, abundant common area offerings, etc. An attached RV garage is allowed, the RV size may be restricted due to lot and street limitations.

SECTION A: PRELIMINARY GUIDELINES

A conceptual design phase meeting shall be held and will include the owner/designated representative, architect/builder and ARC. At this meeting the owner will present a depiction of the lot on which there is placed the house footprint, accurate land contours, setbacks, existing trees and significant topographical features, if any. The scale of this plot map is to be no smaller then 1/8 inch = 1 foot. The lot owner will provide the ARC with the information noted above, a minimum of one week prior to this meeting. This requirement will enable the ARC to discuss and consider the lot owners information prior to the meeting thus saving time. After receiving the required information the project moves to the next phase, Final Plan Guidelines.

SECTION B: FINAL PLAN GUIDELINES

The construction submittal package shall include this application with info requested above and the items listed below.

1. A non-refundable fee of $250.00 to cover administrative costs.

2. A check in the amount of $3000.00 is required from the owner prior to clearing/excavation. This money will be used to cover fees and fines as specified in the SCHA Bylaws that may be assessed against the owner for not complying with requirements as set forth by the SCHA. If no deductions are incurred this money will be returned after final ARC approval.

3. Site plan showing lot dimensions with setbacks, easements, major trees, topographical features, and accurate land contours, proposed home footprint including driveway, overlaid on the site plan.

4. Design requirements are a minimum of 1500 sq. ft. of enclosed living space with an attached garage for at least 2 full sized cars i.e. two 8 ft or one 16 ft minimum size door(s). The enclosed living space of each floor is to be provided.

5. Houses with more then 2 stories generally will not meet the maximum 25 foot height building requirements, within Sea Crest. The ARC shall look at each design and location to determine if variances are appropriate.

6. Show ground level location(s) of external air handler(s), propane tank(s) etc. along with the type of screening contemplated to obscure/hide the units from view. Include the general location of all communication and satellite antenna(s), if used, to comply with CC&R requirements.

7. Water conservation methods. Low flow toilets and hot water re-circulation systems are recommended. In addition please consider installation of hose bibs that would take advantage of possible future non-potable water sources for irrigation.

8. The ARC asks that the construction phase, interior and exterior, be completed within 12 months of the start of excavation. Current CC&R’s require completion not later than 2 years. The beginning of construction is determined from Lincoln County Planning & Development permit date and ends when they issue final approval documentation. Notify the ARC upon receipt of this approval.

9. No trees are to be removed/cut down without prior ARC written approval.

10. There are no utilities, water or sewer, hook up fees incurred when building in Sea Crest. The monetary amount for hookups is a matter between the owner and builder. The SCHA cannot guarantee the location of underground sewer and water pipes as depicted on the plans we currently possess. It is therefore a shared financial responsibility between owner and builder to locate and connect these utilities regardless of their final location near the building property. Should the builder need to excavate into the street near the home it is their responsibility to return the road surface to its original condition.

11. A. Exterior materials are to be of natural tone colors and must harmonize with surrounding landscape. White is not considered a natural tone color. Samples of colors to be used on the exterior of the home are to be submitted prior to their application.

B. Roofing material and color. Composite roofs are permitted with the stipulation that the material has a minimum 40-50 year warranty rating and that the color is compatible with homes and landscape in the immediate area.

C. Siding material and color. Appearance and durability of the homes exterior in this area are important. The ARC will take into consideration your desires to use heretofore-unknown products to use on external surfaces of the house. Plywood with battens, rough sawn cedar or fir will not be considered as appropriate building materials at this time.

12. Exterior lighting. The ARC will approve exterior home lighting systems only if that system does not permit excessive illumination beyond the properties boundaries. The recessing of lights within the soffit and light fixtures having an opaque cover may be acceptable. A discussion and sample of your choices with the ARC would be appropriate before deciding which system to use. Low wattage bulbs will significantly reduce total light illumination.

13. Driveway. The driveway surface material(s) used will be either cement or pavers. Gravel and asphalt may not be used unless approved by the ARC. The slope of terrain under certain circumstances may make it impractical for certain materials. Culverts will be placed under driveways unless the ARC approves a variance.

14. Rain water diversion system. The diversion of rainwater from driveways, walkways and the homes roof will be addressed by the architect/builder in their plans. The ARC may suggest to owners possible modifications due to historical observed water runoff patterns in the area of the home.

15. Water meters. Each house will be equipped with a water meter graduated in gallons. The SCHA has meters available for purchase by an owner who will then reimburse the association.
