INTRODUCTION

Considerable planning has gone into the design and development of Aviano at Desert Ridge. The purpose of the Aviano at Desert Ridge Supplement to the Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines (the Aviano Supplement) is to strengthen the intent of the Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines and to help make Aviano a unique community within the Desert Ridge development. The goal for the Aviano community is to encourage creativity and diversity while maintaining a balance with the natural desert environment, to promote neighborly consideration and to address issues of privacy and architectural consistency, which will preserve property values and community image. The basis for the Aviano Supplement is to ensure that the integrity of the neighborhood vision developed for Aviano at Desert Ridge remains intact into the future.

Each homeowner will receive two booklets:

o Desert Ridge’s “Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines,” latest edition (the small booklet)

o Aviano’s “Aviano at Desert Ridge Supplement to the Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines” (the Aviano Supplement)

This Aviano Supplement is binding upon all persons who may at any time construct, reconstruct, refinish, alter or maintain any improvements within Aviano at Desert Ridge or make any change to the natural or existing surface drainage or plant life. Homeowners are also obligated to review and follow the Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines.

Please review both the AARC and DRDRC guidelines if you are considering changes to your yard or house. An application for design approval is required when any significant change is to be made, and is typically processed in 30 days or less. Application forms are included at the back of this booklet.

The Aviano Architectural Review Committee (AARC) and the Desert Ridge Design Review Committee (DRDRC) will jointly review proposed yard construction (landscape, pool, walls, fountains, etc.) The AARC will evaluate each proposed landscape design, alteration, addition, etc. for consistency with this Aviano Supplement and all other Desert Ridge Design Guidelines, as well as appropriateness to its own lot, to the existing improvements and to the community as a whole. The AARC will evaluate proposed improvements on the basis of creating and maintaining a distinctive desert image, compatibility with neighboring lot improvements, and from one lot to the next, functionality, and quality of visual appearance, materials, textures, mass and durability; and use and preservation of views from the site.

The DRDRC will further review architectural changes made after initial construction of the home (proposed window or door changes, room additions, lighting, roof-equipment attachments, ornamentation, etc.).

This Aviano Supplement does not replace the Desert Ridge Residential Area Design Guidelines or the Desert Ridge Architectural and Community Guidelines, but rather strengthens them to make Aviano a truly unique community within Desert Ridge.
