1. Stonebridge Modifications Committee Description
The goal of the Stonebridge Modifications Committee is to ensure that all new build* and homeowner
modifications, additions, or alterations [both to the home and the landscaping] are made in accordance with the
guidelines† set forth herein, in order to maintain, throughout the community the high standards set by the Board of
Directors. The Modification Committee is also the ‘keeper’ of the rules for miscellaneous structures such as
Basketball Goals.

* As of year 2006, Stonebridge is now essentially built out, and since new build is rare and is only in
such cases of a split lot, home rebuild due to damage, or the like, the new build work review and
approval now falls to the Modification Committee

† ‘Guideline’ and ‘Rule’ are used interchangeably herein, and are for the homeowner to follow unless he
is granted a variance, waiver, or interpretation from the Modification Committee.

The Modifications Committee (MC) reviews all plans for new build work including associated landscaping as well
as all home modifications, additions, or alterations including landscaping which may be proposed by the
homeowner and which differs from that currently in place or as originally approved by the Design Review
Committee in place at the time of construction.

In addition to reviewing all homeowner submittals, the MC may be asked by the Board of Directors to review
specific community wide issues and give a recommendation to the Board. The MC may also bring to the attention
of the Board of Directors any rules or specifications that it feels needs revision.

This Modifications Committee Document has been prepared as a general guide for Residents and Committee
members. It is inclusive of standards, which have been used in the past to review the various types of
modifications, additions, or alterations submitted by homeowners for review by the Committee.

Community Wide Standards. All work shall be completed in a professional manner. Materials and quality of
workmanship shall conform to the better of current industry standards and the standards currently existing within
the Stonebridge Community. The quality, character of craftsmanship, and overall look as set forth by the current
Community-Wide standards shall be maintained.

Updated September 9, 2008


2. Submittal Process and How it Works
The homeowner should first review the rules in this document. The homeowner should contact the Modification
Committee if he or she has questions or needs an interpretation, needs additional information, or finds a conflict
within the rules.

The appropriate form(s) is filled in by the homeowner and any additional information is obtained and attached. All
sheets of the attachments should be letter size or 11” x 17” size if possible. Color catalog information and /or color
photos printed on letter size paper are preferred to actual material samples – this makes it easier to transmit the
submittal electronically, which is preferred. The process will usually be streamlined/ move faster if all of the
necessary information is filled in on the form and any required additional information is obtained by the resident
and included or attached. Submittal information and /or samples become part of the homeowners permanent file
kept with the Property Manager and thus will not be returned to the resident.

It is the homeowner’s responsibility to provide necessary information to demonstrate compliance with the
requirements.

Submit the form and attachments [via mail, fax, email, or hand deliver] to:

Upon receipt of the submittal, the submittal package is logged, assigned, and then forwarded to the designated
committee member for action.

The designated committee member reviews the submittal, and if necessary, will contact the resident for a viewing
of the property and proposal. The committee member will endeavor to action the submittal within 2 weeks of
receipt. The committee member will action the submittal on their own, except if the submittal contains some non-
standard or unusual details, such as a request for a variance or a request to approve new materials, in which case
the committee member will refer the issue to the committee chairman, who will determine if the issue is to be
resolved by the Chairman himself, the Committee as a whole, the SCA Board President, or the entire SCA Board
of Directors.

After review and a viewing [if needed], the committee member will [if the submittal is acceptable] issue an
“Approved to Proceed [ATP]”notice [with ‘stipulations’ if needed] to the resident via the Property Manager and
an then the ATP Certificate will be forwarded from the Property Manager to the resident. This ATP certificate
entitles the resident to post the Approval Certificate in the front window of the home and then

Updated September 9, 2008


proceed to implement the modification. The certificate must stay in place until the work is complete and
‘Final Acceptance’ [FA] is obtained [see below].

After the work is completed by the resident, the Property Manager and /or the assigned committee member is
contacted by the applicant, and the completed work will be viewed [as necessary] to ensure it was carried out in
accordance with the submitted and agreed plans and the regulations herein [unless a variance was granted].

If agreed, and this will constitute “Final Acceptance,” the modification committee member advises the Property
Manager accordingly, and the submittal is signed off and sent to the Property Manager for closeout and then the
submittal package is placed in the homeowners file. The homeowner will be advised accordingly.

Violations
Violations to the Modifications Committee Guidelines or circumvention of the Guidelines may result in
fines. Please see the Stonebridge Community Association RULES for more information.

A violation occurs when the unit owner of any lot or unit within Stonebridge circumvents, neglects, omits
refuses to comply with, or resists the enforcement of any of the provisions of the Stonebridge Community
Association (SCA):
• Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs)
• SCA Rules
• Modifications Guidelines

Violations may be the result of:


1. Failure to comply with any of the above, and/or
2. Circumvention of any of the above, which includes making a modification without due process and
approval by the Modifications Committee

All violations will be reviewed case-by-case by the SCA Board of Directors to determine compliance. Upon
making a determination that a violation exists, the property manager shall notify the unit owner in writing
with the details of the violation and required compliance. Upon receipt of the notice of violation, the unit
owner shall, within the timeframe specified in the notification, eliminate the violation so noted.

Fines
Failure to comply within the timeframe specified in the notification will result in fines of $25 per day until
the unit owner comes into compliance. Any violations of the same nature repeated by the same unit owner at
any time will result in an automatic doubling of fines within the timeframe specified in the notification until
the unit owner comes into compliance.

If a violation is not corrected within the timeframe specified in the notice of violation letter, the Association
has the right to take measures to correct the violation and bill the unit owner for any expenses incurred. The
Board reserves the right to pursue any and all legal remedies to compel enforcement, legal and equitable.
Any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, shall be assessed back to the offending Stonebridge unit owner.

Appeals
The unit owner has the right to appeal the findings of a violation to the Board of Directors by sending such
request via certified U.S. mail to the SCA property manager’s office within the timeframe specified in the
notification. No fine is enacted if the request for a hearing is received within the timeframe specified in the
notification. On the date the outcome of the hearing is determined, the unit owner will be notified orally and
then in writing by the property manager and relieved of the fine if no violation exists. If found in violation,
the unit owner will be subject to the fine beginning on the date the outcome is communicated to the unit
owner. September 9, 2008

NOTES:

SUB-ASSOCIATION APPROVAL. Several sub-associations [The Townes, The Fairways, The Villas, The
Village, The Arbors, Lakeside, The Glen, and Fieldstone] have their own separate approval process. While the
sub-association approval requirement and process is completely independent and separate from the Master [SCA]
Association requirements and process which is being addressed in this document, it may be quite similar to the
SCA process and the sub-association may choose to use the SCA forms. Residents of these neighborhoods should
first obtain approval from their sub-association, prior to submitting to the SCA Modification Committee. Proof of
approval [or proof of waiver of the need for formal approval if that is the case] should be submitted with the
submittal package to the SCA Modification Committee. If the homeowner has reason to need the submittal
approval process expedited, the SCA Modification Committee may conduct their approval process in parallel with
the sub-association, but would withhold their Approval to Proceed pending receipt of the sub-association approval
or waiver.

FAST-TRACK APPROVAL. The committee encourages each resident to plan ahead and allow for adequate time
for the process to take place. If there is reason for urgency, please advise and explain in the submittal, and the
Committee will try to expedite as circumstances allow. Refer to Section 3 below for further discussion.

Updated September 9, 2008


3. Miscellaneous Reference Information and General Rules

Note: regarding regulatory authorities such as the City of Aurora: Visit: www.aurora-il.org

Submitting this form does not relieve the homeowner of complying with City of Aurora regulations and/or
obtaining the necessary permits from the City of Aurora. The homeowner may contact the City of Aurora’s
Building/Permits Dept at (630) 892-8088 for information. Approval of the project by the Modification Committee
is based on aesthetic considerations and conformance to these rules only and does not guarantee that your project is
structurally safe, sound or in compliance with governmental regulations – This is the homeowners responsibility.
The homeowner is responsible for any resulting drainage problems caused by this modification on his and/or
adjacent lots. Please remember to contact J.U.L.I.E. (1-800-892-0123) prior to the start of any digging to help
protect against damage to utilities. Any damage to utilities is the responsibility of the homeowner.

Time for Approval Process:

The committee is allowed 45 days after submission to review and make a determination on the submittal. If the
Modification Committee has not actioned the submittal and contacted the resident within 45 days, the submittal is
automatically approved. However, the Committee endeavors to action all submittals in far less than 45 days, so if
the resident has NOT been contacted within 28 days, there has likely been a problem with the transmittal and the
Property Manager should be contacted.

Work Completion Time Allowance:

All Approved to Proceed projects must be started within 45 days of receiving Approval to Proceed or within 21
days of the expected start date provided on the submittal if this is later that the 45 days, and completed by the end
of the calendar year [unless an extension is requested and allowed by the Committee]. If alterations to the
submittal are desired during execution of the work, these alterations will require approval, and if significant, the
Committee may require a complete re-submittal.

City of Aurora Easements and SCA /Other Easements:

Contact the City of Aurora concerning their easement regulations.

City of Aurora easements include: City Easements, Utility Easements, and Stormwater Drainage Easements.
‘Easements’ established by the SCA or other private entities include such as Screen Planting Easements, the 30’
Golf Course View Easement [refer to Group A rules and the Design Rules section herein], and ‘private’ drainage
easements.

The City of Aurora has provided the Committee with the following excerpt from the regulation for City and
Utility Easements:

“No permanent buildings, structures, or obstructions shall be constructed in, upon, or over any areas
designated on the plat as ‘utility easement’ and ‘city easement’, but such areas may be used for

Updated September 9, 2008


gardens, shrubs, trees, landscaping, driveways, and other purposes that do not unreasonably interfere
with the use of such areas for uses and purposes herein permitted.”

For storm-water control easements, the City of Aurora has the authority to review each situation case by case, but
has advised that allowances may be made for ‘non interfering gardens, shrubs, and other landscaping material’.

Pre-Approved Alternative Products:

James Hardie Siding, which is described as cellulose fiber reinforced cement or cement fiber planks
Approved type /style: HardiePlank Lap Siding, Style/type: Select Cedarmill, 6” exposure

Certainteed ‘Weatherboards’ Fiber Cement Siding, Horizontal Cedar Lap Style, 6” exposure.

Trex Decking System: Trex is a composite plastic and wood [approximately 50 -50 per the website] decking and
railing system. Refer to: www.trex.com

Timbertech Decking System: Timbertech is a composite plastic and wood decking and railing system Refer to:
www.timbertech.com

Wrought Iron Railing on Decks.

Permanent Fire Pits:

The City of Aurora regulates permanent fire pits, and have advised the Modification Committee that a permit is
needed [form, see the City of Aurora web site: http://www.aurora-
il.org/documents/fireprevention/frm_outdoorfireplaceapp.pdf , as of June 06, strike through ‘fire place’ and
replace with ‘permanent fire pit’] and an on-site inspection will likely be carried out prior to issuing the permit. A
firescreen will almost certainly be required to obtain a permit.

Storage, Work, and Clean-up

No materials, equipment, porta-cans, supplies, etc may be placed on or stored on the sidewalk, on the area
between the sidewalk and the street curb [including on the section of driveway], nor on the street. The
contractor must utilize the residents driveway or private property for storage of material, supplies, and
equipment, and any required staging areas, etc.

All work must be carried out such that dust and waste materials are contained and then removed from the
property, and not a nuisance to the property owner nor his neighbors.

If a neighbors property has to be utilized for access, the neighbor shall be contacted and agreement
obtained.

At completion, all property must be immediately restored to its original condition, including irrigation
systems and turf.

Updated September 9, 2008


No advertisement signs may be placed on the homeowners property.

Radon Extraction Systems

Radon removal systems typically require some outdoor infrastructure as part of the system, such as an
external fan box and /or an exhaust pipe with or without a rain cap on top. No submittal is required for the
external infrastructure, but if there is an external exhaust running up the wall, an open ended white PVC
pipe would NOT be acceptable – alternatively, an exhaust matching the roof downspouts is acceptable. If
the exhaust is only on the roof, a short pvc pipe chimney is acceptable.

Submittal must include a plat of survey or a landscaping plan showing where the proposed additional plant
material will be installed and a plant list including COMMON NAME and size /type/ variety, including the
expected height and spread at maturity for trees, bushes, and shrubs.

Large shrubs and trees should be sufficiently set in from the property lines to avoid overhanging the property line
at maturity. Check that side and rear yard drainage patterns are not adversely affected. Generally items planted at
least 3’ to 5’ from property lines will not adversely affect drainage. If located on a screen planting easement,
check out what is already existing and assure that the additions will blend with and enhance the current plantings.
Mark on the Association’s landscaping maps the location of each addition by a homeowner. Landscaping
additions to berms by homeowners are not the responsibility of the Association to maintain, remove or replace.

Lawn replacement or repair must be installed with sod to provide an immediately desirable result.
Alternatives such as seeding or biodegradable grass blankets, may be used only in extreme situations and
only with written prior approval from the Modifications Committee.
Exterior landscape lighting must be installed and maintained a professional manner insuring no lights shine
directly or indirectly on neighboring homes or street views.

Small vegetable gardens are allowed in the rear yard only in a properly prepared and neat /groomed area.
Dead vegetation should be removed at the end of the season and the area left neat and tidy.

Check for any retaining walls, bermed areas, timbers, walkways, vegetable gardens, etc. These must be a
minimum of 3’ from all property lines to preserve proper drainage. The homeowner will be responsible for any
future drainage problems on his lot or on adjacent property, will be his responsibility to correct should any
surface.

LANDSCAPING OR ANY MATERIAL CAN NOT BE HIGHER THAN 4 FEET WITHIN 30 FEET OF
ANY GOLF COURSE PROPERTY. This requirement is sometimes referred to as the “30’ Golf Course
View Easement”. Refer to the design section of this document also.

Statuary (large statues and water fountains) cannot exceed 6’ in height and must be neutral in color or follow the
monotony code in color. Water fountains that are permanently installed that must be covered in the winter can
only be covered with neutral color materials.

Updated September 9, 2008


Group B – Modification -Exterior Changes [Exterior paint color change/ Siding
Change/ Roofs/ Awnings/ Exterior House Lighting/ Driveway and /or sidewalk]

General Note:

Any CHANGE to the exterior requires a submittal. For example, if a window is being replaced, and the
replacement window is different in any way from the original [such as size, number of panes, trim, color[s],
etc], a submittal is required. If a home or part of a home is being repainted with the same color[s] and type
of paint [tone and hue], no submittal is required.

Color Selection and Materials /Misc:

Exterior colors may be changed only after being submitted to and approved by the Committee. This is
required to ensure that the monotony code is enforced and to help preserve the aesthetic harmony of the
neighborhood as established by the original home colors.

Submittals must state the current manufacturer’s color name and material. The new proposed color and
material must also be stated, and a manufacturer’s color sample be submitted by the homeowner.

Exterior colors should be in the soft, neutral earth tone ranges. Very bright or very dark colors should be avoided.
Exterior color should complement the brick color, when applicable. Aluminum and vinyl siding are not allowed
in Stonebridge.

Awnings must adhere to the monotony code and complement the exterior or trim colors of the home. Trim, gutter
and down spout colors should be the same color or a lighter shade than the exterior color in most cases. (Darker
trim on dryvit exteriors is one exception to this rule.)

Roofing materials should blend in as background and not be a prominent feature of the color scheme. Roofing
material color should be in the dark, neutral earth tones. Black, Weathered Wood, etc. are acceptable colors. Bright
colors and very light colors (reds, greens and whites) should be avoided. (Note: Cedar shake roofing is required in
some neighborhoods.)

Garage doors should be the same color or a lighter shade than the exterior siding. Very bright or dark, accent type
colors should not be approved for garage doors. When painted in dark or bright colors, the large, flat garage door
surface tends to dominate and overpower the color scheme of the entire home.

Front door and shutter colors can be of somewhat bolder, accent type colors as long as they are compatible with
the overall color scheme of the house Unusual or bright colors should be avoided. The homeowner shall submit
the manufacturer’s color sample and, if possible, the homeowner shall submit an example or give an address
where this color has already been installed.

Any change in paint color must be completed so that a solid layer of color is achieved which in most cases
requires a minimum of two coats of finish paint.

Monotony Code:

Objective:

Updated September 9, 2008


The primary objective of the monotony code is not to preclude all similarities between properties but to prevent
duplicate houses from being built in close proximity to each other. Final decisions as to what constitute sufficient
differences and final approval authority for any proposed color scheme in Stonebridge rests within the discretion of
the Modifications Committee.

Front Elevations and Color Schemes:

In order to encourage diversity and add visual interest to the streetscape in each neighborhood, houses within the
following distances of one another shall be required to have sufficient differences in both front elevation and color
schemes to make them significantly different from each other. The code applies in the following situations:

Two houses on each side of a proposed home that all face the same street.

The house directly across the street from a proposed home.

One house on each side of the house directly across the street from the proposed home.

On small, tight cul-de-sac circles, any house that faces or is diagonally across the cul-de-sac from a proposed
home.

Roof Colors

The monotony code does not apply to roof colors. Roof colors may be exactly the same in any instance.
However, roofing materials must be in darker colors and earth tones. Bright or light colors are not allowed.

Exterior Finishing Materials:

Frontscape upgrade:

Any modification which includes partial or complete renovation of frontscape shall be in accordance with the
following criteria:

1. Complete replacement with materials the same as the original building material[s] covering the same
percentage of area as originally covered shall always be allowed. For example, if the current or original
frontscape is completely cedar, the replacement may be completely cedar. ‘Equivalent’ materials may be
used with if they have been approved by the Modification Committee [such as fiber cement siding to
replace cedar siding].
2. If EIFS [Exterior Insulation and Finish System] replacement is desired with alternate materials, at least
60% of the alternate materials shall be ‘upgraded materials’ such as brick, stone, rock, cultured stone, or
other such upgraded materials as allowed by the Modification Committee. The remaining material shall be
cedar or approved equivalent [Cedar siding shall be horizontally oriented boards, with 6” reveal (amount
exposed)].

3. Frontscape material replacement not covered by 1 or 2 above shall require consent of the Modification
Committee.

Updated September 9, 2008


Any modification or rebuild which includes either side or the rear of a home shall be in accordance with one of the
following criteria:

1. Complete replacement with materials the same as the original building material[s] covering the same
percentage of area as originally covered shall always be allowed. For example, if the current or original
sides are completely cedar, the replacement may be completely cedar. ‘Equivalent’ materials may be used
with if they have been approved by the Modification Committee [such as fiber cement siding to replace
cedar siding].
2. Any modification or rebuild which involves the sides or rear of a home must as a ‘minimum’ use
horizontally oriented cedar boards, with 6” reveal, or approved synthetic cedar as approved by the
Modification Committee [see above], or other material if approved by the Modification Committee. As an
alternative to cedar or synthetic cedar, ‘upgraded’ materials may be used including such as EIFS, brick,
rock, stone, or cultured stone or other material approved by the Modification Committee.”

Replacement Driveways & Homeowner’s Sidewalks:

Replacement driveways and/or homeowner’s sidewalks that are replaced with the same material and design
layout do not need to be submitted for approval. Any change in material finish, color and or design layout needs
to be submitted for approval with detail plat of survey showing the required utility setbacks. Material and color
must be neutral. Public walkways are to be maintained in good repair. Contact the City of Aurora for
replacement policies.

Replacement of Exterior House Lights:

Replacement of exterior house lights must be of appropriate design and size that matches the overall home’s
architectural design. It is preferred that all lights are of the same design. House lights for any new addition
should match as close as possible the other lights on the home.

Garage Door Windows:

Windows are allowed in garage doors if they are in keeping with neighborhood standards. Full size plexiglass
doors are not allowed.

Updated September 9, 2008


Group C -Modification -Decks/ Patios/ Gazebos
Deck/ Patio/ Gazebo Requirements

Note: Screened decks, porches, multiple level decks [not a terraced deck], etc are considered home
additions and are covered by Group G.

All proposed deck/ patio/ gazebo must be submitted to and approved by the Stonebridge Modifications Committee
prior to installation. DECKS and GAZEBOS CANNOT BE PLACED ON CITY OR UTILITY EASEMENT
RIGHT-OF-WAYS, except that a low level deck supported by a grade slab may be allowed. Patios are
usually allowed to be placed over City and Utility Easements, at the owners risk [repair/ replace at his own
expense should it have to be dug up]. CHECK PLAT OF SURVEY and check with the City of Aurora.
Please check for additional information/requirements if you reside in one of Stonebridge’s Sub-Associations:

Group E -Fence Installation Rules and Specifications
Although not prohibited, in general, fencing is discouraged in Stonebridge. Homeowners are urged to utilize
electronic “invisible fences” to contain pets on their property whenever possible. All proposed fence installation
must be submitted to and approved by the Stonebridge Modifications Committee prior to installation. The
following information is provided to assist you in making your submittal.

Only one standard type of fence is approved for Stonebridge. The specifications for this standard fence are as
follows: (See pictures below)

Material and Finish -Cedar with a Natural Finish


Maximum Height
4 1/2 feet at top of post *
Style
Shallow Concave Style Top Posts -4" x 4" with Traditional Style
Cap Vertical Board Width -1" x 4" (Actual Measurement 3 1/2".) Spacing
between Vertical Boards -2 1/2" Rails -2"x4"
* Your fence must exactly match the height of any existing adjacent fences.

Fencing Restrictions: Fences cannot be placed in front yard areas forward of the front corners of the house or on
rear yard of side yard screen planning easements. (Electric invisible fencing is also not allowed in front yard areas.)
Fencing is not allowed in the following neighborhoods which are small lot subdivisions with shared lawn
maintenance: The Fairways, The Villas, Lakeside, The Glen, Fieldstone and The Arbors. Fencing is also not
allowed on lots that abut the golf course [except that fences for swimming pools is allowed if the swimming pool
can meet all of the various requirements per the Swimming Pool group rules]. Fences may extend into utility
easements at the owners risk.

For all corner lots and those with back or side yards adjacent to public streets, a minimum setback of 6 feet
from the property line in public view is required. In addition, landscape screening of sufficient nature is
required to soften the look of the fence in the areas of public view. Adjacency to a public sidewalk is
considered public view, for example.
Fence Placement: The outside face (vertical boards) of the fence must be placed within the property line and
exposed to the neighboring yards. The fence must run parallel to the property line and placed six inches (6") inside
the property line to allow for minor survey and installation discrepancies. Any utilities boxes located on the
property must remain within the homeowner's fenced-in area and should have proper access for maintenance by the
utility companies.
On a case by case basis on lots that back up to the perimeter of the Stonebridge development, a solid board, 6'
high, traditional style fence might be allowed across the rear property line. (Request Attachment A.)

On a discretionary case by case basis, wrought iron or aluminum fencing not exceeding 4 ½ feet in height may be
considered and approved by the Modification Committee to fence-in approved, in-ground swimming pools located
within back yard areas. The fencing must be either black or dark bronze in color. Other fence colors might be
considered if they are in line with the home's exterior color and follow the monotony code. Ornate fence design will
not be approved. Fencing for pool enclosures must stay within close proximity (4 feet) to the pool deck area and
may not be used to define perimeter property lines in Stonebridge nor may wrought iron or aluminum fencing be
installed in any screen planting area.

Group G -Modification – Home Additions/ Room Additions/ Sun Rooms/ Screen
Porches
All room additions, sunrooms, screened porches and gazebos that attach to the existing structure must be
treated as permanent construction and must meet all the setback requirements for permanent construction.

The objective is to make all room additions match as closely as possible and blend into the existing home so the
home does not appear “added on to”. This can make room additions cost more, but is essential to maintain the high
aesthetic quality of the community.

Complete construction details must be submitted showing all elevations of the addition and the elevation of the
house where the addition will be attached. Construction details on how the addition will be attached must also be
shown.

Roof should be gabled with a roof pitch that matches the existing gables on the house. A minimum 6/12 roof pitch
is generally required. In special cases where second story windows make a 6/12 pitch impossible, a waiver could
be granted for a 5/12 or 4/12 pitch. Roof pitches of less than 4/12 present a cheap, aesthetically unacceptable,
appearance and are subject to snow damage and drainage problems and should not be allowed. Shed roof styles
are also discouraged because they are generally less attractive, low pitched and have a more “tacked on”
appearance.

Roofing materials, siding materials, eaves, soffits, gutters, doors, windows, etc. should all exactly match the
existing house in type, style and color. i.e.: If the house has 4" or 6" cedar lap siding the addition should have the
same. A different lap width on an addition from that on the existing house is not acceptable, even if the same
color.

There are currently metal sunrooms being marketed that have been denied by the Committee because they have
metal exteriors and metal shed roofs with 2/12 or less roof pitches. However, they can be modified with gabled
roofs with 6/12 pitches and shingled and sided to match the existing home. If these modifications are made, then
they might be approvable.

Required Submittal Information

A fully dimensioned and scaled Plat of Survey showing all existing and proposed work, including
property lines, easements, fencing, setbacks, etc.

Full architectural plans, including plan view and elevation views from all directions [ and including full
material information and colors] and including the tie in to existing work.

Lighting [if any] Information including details and specifications

Access [if any] Information including details, specifications, etc [doors, steps, etc]

Group H -Modification -Pergolas/ Arbors
Rules for Arbor Installations

General Principles

The purpose of the Specification Guidelines for Arbors is to ensure installations of any arbors by the
homeowners provides for a harmonious relationship among structures, vegetation, topography and overall
design within the community

Definitions

Arbor - an arbor is a light, open structure either formed out of wood, metal or stone. The structure is self-
supporting or formed from a latticework frame. Most of the time the structure is covered with plant material.
Arbors are generally less extensive and less substantial than pergolas.

Arbors normally are used to define an entryway to a garden feature or space, such as a path or gate and can
accommodate a passageway for people. They can also be used for strictly decorative purposes in other areas of
the yard, providing they fit the placement guidelines. Lattice arbor designs are ideal for training climbing plants
such as roses, clematis, and ivy. Unlike a two-dimensional trellis, an arbor provides flat or curved "roof" which
could be used to support a leafy canopy.

Pergola - a structure with open wood-framed roofs, often latticed and supported by regularly spaced posts or
columns, and covered by climbing plants such as vines, roses or awning material. Pergolas are distinguished from
arbors, which are less extensive in extent and structure. Any installation of pergolas within Stonebridge must be
submitted to the Modification Committee for review prior to installation with approval being granted on case by
case basis.

Arbor General Provisions – One arbor is allowed per lot

Arbors are allowed in neighborhood where the lot sizes generally provide adequate spacing between homes for
placement. Homeowners within The Fairways, The Villas, Lakeside, The Glen, Fieldstone, The Arbors and The
Townes need to check their Associations for the specific restrictions, which apply in their neighborhood and
receive approval from their board prior to a request being submitted to the SCA Modification Committee for
consideration.

Arbor Specifications

Size Limitations – Arbors are not to exceed the following depth, width and height restrictions of 4’-0” deep x 7’-
0” wide x 8’-0” tall; width is defined as the pass-through space

Placement – Arbor cannot be placed in front yard areas forward of the front corners of the house. Side yard set
back between the front and back corners of the house are required to be a minimum 4ft from property line. Arbors
placed in backyards beyond the back corners of the house must be placed a minimum of 7ft from either of the side
yard’s property lines and 10ft from the back property line. Properties located on the golf course are required to have
a minimum 30ft setback from the rear of the lot in addition to the above stated side yard setbacks.

Updated September 9, 2008


Corner lots usually require a 15’ to 30’ setback from the side street.
Arbors are not permitted within screen planting easements

Materials - Arbors can be constructed from materials including cedar wood metal and stone. The goal is to
choose a material that blends well with the characteristics of the home. Plastic and PVC materials are not
approved for use. Other material request will be considered on a case by case basis. Materials for arbors that are
incorporated within a fence have to be made of the same material of the fence

Color - Color choice needs to adhere to the monotony code and complement the exterior or trim colors of the
home. Colors should be in the soft, neutral earth tone ranges. Very bright colors will not be allowed. Solid color
only.

Gates - Shallow concave style top gates as outlined in the Fence Installation Rules and Specifications are
allowed

Miscellaneous – Swings and seating benches may be integrated into the arbor design. No lights, flags or other
“add-on” ornamental elements made be added or mounted to the arbor structures.

In addition, all arbors must be maintained to the standards that are required for the exterior of homes as
outlined in the Stonebridge Community Association’s Covenants, Conditions And Restrictions.

Information Required with Submittal:

1 A fully dimensioned and scalable plat of survey of your lot indicating the exact location of the
proposed structure, including indicating on the plat of survey if there are existing fences on the property and
any adjoining properties. Free hand sketches of lot boundaries are not acceptable.
2 The complete details of the design including the height, length and depth depicted in a picture or a
mechanical drawing.
3 Color choice and material, which the arbor will be made of needs to be submitted along with your
information.

Group K – Future

Updated September 9, 2008


Group L -Satellite and Microwave Dish Antennas: Installation Guidelines

NOTE: Currently, the Committee is not requiring a submittal for Satellite Dishes, but the
requirements provided herein are still applicable.

The following guidelines are being promulgated by the Stonebridge Modifications Committee pursuant to Article
XII, Section 7 of the Stonebridge Community Association's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
with respect to the installation of satellite and microwave dish antennas ("dishes") in Stonebridge.

The following guidelines will control the installation of all satellite dish and microwave antennas. To avoid
confusion, it is suggested that homeowners submit plans, prior to installation, for all proposed satellite dish
installations for review to the Stonebridge Modifications Committee.

SITEING:

1 No more than one dish shall be installed on any Lot.


2 The maximum dish diameter shall be one meter or less with 18" being the preferred size.
3 If a home is situated so that signals can not be received by a dish placed in one of the preferred
locations described below, the Association will consider suggestions from the homeowner for alternate
locations.
4 Preferred Installation Locations:
4.1. Dishes should be installed only in rear or side yard areas.
4.2. Dishes should not be located within a front yard on any Lot, nor mounted to the wall of any home, nor
located within screen planting easements on any Lot.
4.3. Dishes should not be mounted on the roof of any home.
4.4. Dishes should be located so as not to be visible from the street (front or side), abutting properties or
the golf course when viewed from ground level.
4.5. Dishes should be installed on a free standing pole as follows:
4.5.1. On the side or rear of the house, no more than 4' above grade as measured from top of dish to
grade, no more than 2' from the house and be screened from all adjacent properties and streets, or:
4.5.2. On a deck or a patio located in a rear or side yard, no higher than the deck railing as measured from
the deck floor to the top of the dish or no more than four feet above the patio floor (measured from the top
of the dish). Dishes on patios should be screened from all adjacent properties and streets when viewed
from ground level, or:
1 Dishes may be free standing in the rear yard but should not be more than four feet above grade
(measured from top of dish to grade) and be screened from all adjacent properties and streets when
viewed from ground level.
2 Color: To minimize visibility, dishes should be a color that closely matches the field color of the
residence located on the lot. Neutral colors such as gray, beige or off white are preferred.

SCREENING:

1. Freestanding, ground-mounted dishes installed within two feet or less of the rear or side of the house
should be fully screened with plantings of evergreen shrubs of a height and density at the time of

Updated September 9, 2008


planting sufficient to render the dish invisible year round from all abutting properties and streets when
viewed at grade level, or
2. Freestanding dishes, located in rear yards as described in item 4.5.3 on page 1, should be fully screened
with plantings of evergreen shrubs of a height and density at the time of planting sufficient to render the dish
invisible year round from all abutting properties and streets when viewed at grade level. They may also be
screened with rear yard fencing or lattice paneling of a sufficient height to render the dish invisible from all
abutting properties and streets. All fencing used to screen satellite dishes must conform to the established
Stonebridge fence design guidelines and be approved.

SUBMISSION PACKAGES SHOULD INCLUDE:

1. Please submit a fully dimensioned and drawn to scale layout of the contemplated installation on a plat of
survey of the lot which also shows:
1.1. Distances between the dish and all property lines.
1.2. If freestanding along the rear or side of the house, the exact location of the dish including its distance
from the wall and corners of the residence.
1.3. If on a deck or patio, dimensions of the deck or patio indicating the exact dish location, height above
grade and distances to the edge of deck or patio. Deck railing height should also be included.

2. Elevation drawings for the dish, as it will be installed, showing the diameter and total maximum height of the
proposed dish and its mounting standard as measured from grade to the top of the dish, as well as the color of the
dish.

3. Screening description which includes type of material, height at time of installation, type and color, finish and
construction detail. Landscape screening submissions should include a detailed landscape plan specifying the
proposed species of evergreens including plant spacing, height above ground level and width at time of
installation. A fence submittal is required if wooden fencing is used as the screening material.

Some History:

In about 1998/99, some questions were raised about the current Stonebridge rules concerning satellite dishes. In
light of this and the 1999 changes made in the FCC regulations, the Board of Directors of the Stonebridge
Community Association asked our corporation counsel to review the regulations concerning satellite dishes.
Based on the opinion from our legal counsel, it would appear that the SCA guidelines concerning modification
requests for satellite dish installations need to be revised.

To comply with current FCC regulations, the changes in our guidelines governing small satellite dishes (small
satellite dishes are defined as those measuring one (1) meter or less in diameter.) will be effective until there is a
successful court challenge allowing community associations to uphold aesthetic standards for satellite dish
placement. In the event this FCC ruling is overturned, our Design Guidelines will revert back to the original
standard requiring approval of placement and aesthetic screening. It is not necessary, at this time, for the
Association to amend the CC&R's under Article XII, "Use Restrictions", Section 7, "Antennas" which prohibits the
installation of satellite dishes without prior Board approval. The federal law takes precedent over the CC&R's.

The purpose of the guidelines was to provide for consistent community standards. It has never been the policy of
the Modifications Committee or the Board to make it difficult for homeowners to install a satellite dish. Even
though the rules will no longer be in place for small dishes, we hope homeowners will be considerate of

Updated September 9, 2008


their neighbors when installing a new dish and contemplate following the original aesthetic standards. Those
standards called for dishes to be installed in the rear yard or side yard areas, not to exceed a total installed height
of more than four (4) feet and to be screened by planting material from all abutting properties, streets and the golf
course. For those homeowners who would like suggestions on the best location for installation, the Modifications
Committee will be happy to help you.

Contact Baum Property Services at 725 Morton Ave Aurora IL 60507 Attn Kelly Henry at 630-897-0500 to ask
for Modification Committee Members names and contact details, or refer to the SCA Insights [newsletter]

There are some situations where the SCA still has the right to regulate satellite dish installation. One such area is
where safety is in question. If the SCA feels that a dish installation is unsafe or potentially dangerous to others, the
Board may ask the homeowner to change that dish's location.

Form AA ‘Access’ Requirements -Access to your build or modification work via screen
planting easements, common areas, etc:
Refer and Complete Form AA -Request /Agreement to Repair and /or Make Good any Damage to SCA
‘Community’ Property

Background: In the course of implementing a modification to a home or property in Stonebridge, it may


sometimes be necessary for the homeowner or contractor to access their property via property which has been
landscaped by the SCA, or is being maintained by the SCA. These areas may include common areas, street right-
of-way, screen planting easements, or any property being maintained by the SCA for the overall good of the
community.

Thus, in order to both allow this access and be certain that any damage from the access is properly repaired or
restored to its original condition without undue delay, the Committee requires a signed commitment from the
homeowner to this effect if he desires to access his property via any of the areas designated above. This signed
commitment is to be submitted with the Modification Request along with photos of the ‘before’ condition of the
area to be access through. Enough photos shall be submitted/ attached to clearly cover all of the landscaped area
which will be accessed through. The photos shall be in color, and shall be stapled to 8.5” x 11” paper, or printed
on 8.5” x 11” paper [preferred].

The Modification Committee has the authority to review this Request /Commitment and approve or not
approve the request.
