ARTICLE 1.0: INTRODUCTION
These Master Architectural Review Committee (also referred to as “Master ARC” or
“ARC”) Guidelines have been adopted to give direction to homeowners in preparing plans and
designs that reinforce the appearance of Canterberry Crossing. These guidelines apply to
modifications, additions, and alterations made on or to existing improvements.
These Master ARC Guidelines are intended to provide the framework for design and
development standards, based upon which the Owner and the Master Architectural Review
Committee will be able to make informed decisions related to all exterior design elements within
Canterberry Crossing. The Master Declaration for the Villages of Parker recorded on February 18,
1987 at Reception 8704909 (the "Declaration") REQUIRES THE PRIOR WRITTEN
APPROVAL OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE BEFORE A
HOMEOWNER MAKES AN IMPROVEMENT TO ANY RESIDENTIAL LOT LOCATED
WITHIN CANTERBERRY CROSSING.
An improvement to property (an "Improvement") includes, but is not limited to, any
landscaping, or any deletions, additions or changes to original landscaping; the construction or
installation of any accessory building, patio, deck, pool, or hot tub; the demolition or removal
of any building or other Improvement; and any addition, deletion or change to the exterior of a
building or of any previously approved Improvement, including repainting, repaving, and/or
replacement of exterior elements of the home or landscaping.. In order to assist homeowners, the
Master Declaration authorizes the Architectural Review Committee for the Master Association
(the "Master ARC") to establish guidelines with respect to Improvements to property and to
exempt certain Improvements from the requirement of approval. Such guidelines become
effective upon approval and adoption by the Board of Directors of the Master Association.
Throughout this document the term "Property" shall refer to a residential site.
Section 1.01: ARC Composition
The Master ARC shall consist of up to five (5) or more members. The Master
Association Board of Directors shall appoint the members of the Master ARC.
Section 1.02: Master ARC Contact
The present address of the CCMA Master ARC is 19751 East Mainstreet, Suite 275,
Parker, CO, 80138. The phone number of the Master ARC is (303) 841-8658 and the fax number
is (303) 840-3881.
ARTICLE 2.0: SUBMISSION OF RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENT FORM
1. Two copies of the Residential Improvement Form (RIF) with drawings, plans, true photos,
and if applicable a plot plan, should be submitted to the CCMA Master ARC C/O CPMS
19751 E. Mainstreet, Suite 275, Parker, CO 80138. The ARC Committee may charge a fee
for review. This fee will be determined by the ARC Committee. If requested one copy
2
may be returned to the homeowner after the Master ARC has acted, showing the Master
ARC’s decision with a minimum prepayment of $5.00 to cover postage (fee is subject to
change depending on return packet size), otherwise a standard decision letter will be sent.
The other copy will be kept for the Master ARC's records. The Residential Improvement
Form shall be in the form set forth in EXHIBIT A attached.
2. The following guidelines should be utilized in preparing drawings or plans:
a. The drawing or plan should be done to scale and should depict the property lines of the
lot and the outside boundary lines of the home as located on the lot. If a copy of an
improvement survey of the Property Owner's lot is available, this survey should be
submitted, together with the Property Owner's drawing or plan.
b. Existing Improvements, in addition to the home, should be so shown on the drawing or
plan and identified or labeled. Such existing Improvements include driveways, walks,
decks, trees, bushes, etc.
c. The proposed Improvements should be shown on the plan and be labeled. Either on the
plan or on an attachment, there should be a brief description of the proposed
Improvement including the materials to be used and the colors. (Example: Redwood
Deck, 10 feet by 12 feet consisting of two inch by four inch decking, natural stain).
3. Due to unique characteristics of individual Filings and Sub-Filings, certain special
requirements relating to house design, site planning, landscaping, fencing or any other facet
of modification, addition or alteration may be applicable to a particular Filing or Sub-
Filing. These special requirements are set forth in the individual Subassociation’s
Declaration. Although the Subassociation’s Declaration is distributed separately, it is, by
this reference incorporated in these ARC Guidelines with the same force and effect as if
the full text of such Subassociation’s Declaration was set forth in these ARC Guidelines.
Homeowners should become familiar with the applicable Subassociation’s Declaration at
the outset of the design process. If there is any conflict between applicable
Subassociations’s Declaration and these ARC Guidelines, the Subassociation’s
Declaration and/or Canterberry Crossing Master’s Declaration shall prevail over these
Guidelines.
4. Additionally, due to unique characteristics of individual Lots and/or groups of Lots, certain
additional special requirements, relating to house design, site planning, landscaping,
fencing, or any other facet of modification, addition or alteration, may be imposed by the
Master ARC during the review process.
3
5. These Community-wide ARC Guidelines contain both rules and informational direction.
Where the terms “preferred” or the phrase “may permit” are used in a statement, the
statement constitutes informational direction provided for the guidance and convenience
of Homeowners, and shall not create any duty for the ARC to approve or permit the design
elements referred to in such statement, nor shall any Owner rely in any manner upon the
ARC’s potential approval of such design element, which approval shall remain within the
ARC’s sole discretion.
6. Homeowners are required to obtain permits and inspections from local municipalities.
7. A fine may be imposed after notice and an opportunity for a hearing if an owner fails to
submit a RIF prior to any work on an Improvement being performed.
ARTICLE 3.0: ACCURACY OF INFORMATION
Any person submitting plans to the ARC shall be responsible for verification and accuracy
of all components of such submission, including, without limitation; all site dimensions, grades,
elevations, utility locations, neighbor acknowledgement and other pertinent features of the site
plans. If the owner’s submission is later found to contain false information on these or other
matters, any action taken by the ARC may, at its sole election, be determined to be void.

ARC. The established drainage pattern means the drainage pattern as engineered and constructed
by Developer/Builder prior to (or in some cases, immediately following) conveyance of title from
Developer/Builder to the individual homeowner. When installing landscaping, it is very important
to insure that water drains away from the foundation of the house and that the flow patterns prevent
water from flowing under or ponding near or against the house foundation, walkways, sidewalks,
and driveways. Water should flow fully over walkways, sidewalks, or driveways into the street.
The Master ARC may require a report from a drainage engineer as part of landscaping or
Improvement plan approval. Landscaping should conform to the established drainage pattern.
Drainage should not cause water flow to neighbor’s foundation, yard, basement, etc.

2000) for specifics on the assembly of the fence. Fences and/or walls constructed by
the Developer or Builder along or abutting property lines, arterial streets, collector
streets, and local streets are the property of the Master Association and,
therefore, may not be removed, replaced, painted a different color, or altered in any
way, including, but not limited to, installation of gates or other openings. If any fence
or wall that was constructed by the Developer or Builder is damaged or destroyed by
the conduct of the homeowner, tenants, guests or occupants of the property, the

Master ARC must approve ANY and ALL fence additions or alterations constructed
by the homeowner in writing in advance.
