From the VCA Declarations ARTICLE IX

Architectural Control and Construction Requirements

9.1. Purpose of the Architectural Control and Construction Requirements: To establish and maintain consistent design and construction of Homes and Multi-Family Buildings compatible with the Vanderbilt Country Club themes, to preserve the value of The Properties, and to promote the general welfare of the Owners.

From the VCA Rules & Regulations III. Architectural Review Committee (ARC)

Any exterior modification to a single-family or multi-family structure or landscaping must not be made until the

Owner receives approval from the ARC. This includes, but is not limited to: fences, walls, hedges and other boundary

structures, driveways, sidewalks, pools, pool decks, hot tubs, screen enclosures, decks, patios or extensions, exterior

paint or finish, exterior or roof materials, awnings, shutters, hurricane protection, generator installations, decorative

plaques or accessories, statues, benches and other outside furniture, planters, birdhouses, or other pet houses, mail

and newspaper boxes, exterior lighting, swales, sidewalk and driveway surfaces or treatments, antennas and satellite

dishes or landscaping.

The ARC has the authority to inspect properties when conducting business to ensure compliance with Article X of the

Vanderbilt Community Master Declarations and the Architectural Review Guidelines. The ARC members will conduct

inspections during property tours at randomly selected intervals throughout the year. The ARC will make every effort

to remain on common grounds during these inspections, but it may be required to access an Owner’s lot to gain a

better view. Only in instances requiring the viewing of a limited common element, such as a lanai or entryway

(Waterford Condominiums and Wedgewood Carriage Homes), the ARC will ask the Owner, either verbally or in

writing, for access to the area in need of review.

It is in the interest of Owners that the interiors and exteriors of all units be updated and maintained at a high

standard, free from any mold or other such substances and that all equipment is serviced and operational.

Maintaining units in top condition reflects positively on the Vanderbilt community and maintains the value of all

properties.

Prior to the commencement of major renovations (e.g., remodel kitchen/bathroom, add/remove, replace tile or

wood flooring), the Homeowner must notify their neighbors on either side by contacting them in person or in writing

of the approximate start and stop dates and the extent of the work to be performed.

Work must be done during normal workdays (Monday – Saturday), and normal work hours (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.)

unless approved in advance by the Community Association Office staff.

ARC GENERAL GUIDELINES

Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt

Community Association, Inc., Board of Directors. These guidelines are intended to assist the ARC and the

homeowners in determining what changes and/or modifications meet and enhance the design of the community,

while ensuring that the community remains consistent in appearance. Different guidelines apply to Estate and Villa

homeowners and to Wedgewood Condominium and Waterford Condominium owners as stated in the following

sections of this guide.

When planning changes to your home or landscaping, please review Articles VII, VIII, and X of the Master Declaration

of the VCC which exist on the website. These will provide details on the architectural review process. Questions

should be directed to the Community Association Manager.

If your proposed property change requires ARC approval, please obtain the ARC Review Form either from the VCC

website or from the Community Association Office. Note that the ARC has up to 45 days to respond to any request

you submit to the committee. If additional information is requested by the ARC, the 45 days to respond will begin

when all the requested information is received.

The ARC volunteers and Community Association Office review all requests in as timely a manner as possible. They

also monitor the community on a regular basis to ensure consistent design and regular maintenance throughout the

community.

Vanderbilt Country Club ARC Guidelines/Rules

ALTERATIONS/CONTRACTS FOR MAINTENANCE

If the project requires ARC approval (see section X), the contractor must be licensed and insured. Conditional ARC

approval can occur if a permit is required for the project.

When a Unit Owner hires a contractor for maintenance, alteration, addition or improvement of any portion of their

unit or the limited common elements adjacent to it, with or without Association approval, the Unit Owner

understands that this action is considered to have warranted to the Association and its members that the owner’s

contractor(s) are properly licensed and fully insured. Should any encroachment, encumbrance, violation, variation,

or adverse circumstance affect any property other than the Owner’s, the Owner will take full financial responsibility

to correct the damage. A complete survey, paid for by the Owner, would be conducted to determine ownership of

the affected property.

AMERICAN FLAG: One American flag per lot is permitted. The flag must be displayed in a respectful way and may be

subject to reasonable standards for size, placement and safety as adopted by the ARC and is consistent with the Title

36 U.S.C. Chapter 10 and local ordinances. A flag decal displayed on an interior surface of a window is acceptable,

however, the decal cannot be affixed to the exterior of doors, garage doors or exterior walls, and must be removed

when faded from the sun or otherwise damaged.

From the American Legion Flag Guidelines:

When a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. The American Legion interprets “proper illumination” as a light specifically placed to illuminate the flag (preferred) or having a light source sufficient to illuminate the flag so it is recognizable as such by the casual observer.

AWNINGS: Awnings must be canvas-like material and should complement the existing house or trim color. They are

only allowed over the lanai area and should cover the width of the lanai.

BASKETBALL HOOPS: Basketball Hoops are not permitted.

BIRDBATHS/FOUNTAINS: Pedestal birdbaths and water fountains with self-contained water units will be allowed in

flowerbeds adjoining the exterior wall of villa and estate homes and inside the lanais. They must be conservative in

nature, not exceed 56 inches in height, and are subject to ARC approval. (Estates and Villas)

BIRDFEEDERS: Birdfeeders of any kind are not permitted.

ENTRYWAYS: Small table and/or chairs on concrete area outside of entryway for those homes that were designed

with additional space for furniture are permitted and must be free of unsightly rust.

The guidelines for low voltage exterior lighting (clear or white only) are: Placement must be along walkway from

driveway to front entry, with wires buried 4” – 6” in the ground and not directed at any street, other home or

property. Lights must not restrict landscaping service, and the homeowner will be responsible if the wires are not

properly installed and are cut. This request would need approval to ensure that all necessary requirements are met.

Up-lights are permitted in the front and back of lanai only on Estate and Villa lots. Lights must be low voltage (clear

or white only) and must shine away from any street, other home or property. Up-lights must not interfere with

landscaping (owner will be responsible if the wires are not installed properly and are cut), and should be placed in

mulched areas only.

Villas and Estate Homes

Guidelines and Rules

DRIVEWAYS and WALKWAYS

Driveway expansion

All proposed replacements, enlargements and major repairs of driveways, or walkways must receive ARC approval

before construction begins.

Six samples of the pavers to be used must be available to the ARC upon submission of the “Architectural Review

Form” request for approval. (Forms are available from the CAO office or online)

In keeping with the charge to the ARC to insure consistency throughout the community, the following criteria will be

considered by the ARC as the basis for granting or denying approval of the requested project:

1) The size of the requested enlargement shall be the minimum necessary to accomplish the objective of the project. The maximum expansion of a driveway can be no more than a 2-foot extension on each side of the original driveway.

2) Widening must be symmetrical and driveways must remain within the outer walls of the garage. 3) The pavers used for the expansion must match the original pavers as closely as possible. However, paver

manufactures have assured the committee that they will be unable to produce pavers that will match our 15+ year old pavers and that the only way to maintain community consistency will be by removing at least one half the number of original pavers as the number that are being added, and to intersperse the new and old pavers while they are being laid.

4) Approval of the neighbor must accompany the request if any extension will be less than 15 feet from that neighbor’s driveway.

5) Replacement of all landscape materials, which will be removed to complete the project, is required, at the expense of the owner.

6) Moving of irrigation and/or utilities as the result of a driveway expansion is the responsibility of the owner, and at the expense of the owner.

7) The surface material for front walkways, golf-cart paths, or any other walkway leading to the back of the house must match the driveway.

Driveway Inspection The condition of driveways and walkways will be subject to inspection by representatives from the ARC Committee to check for root intrusion causing uneven or buckling of pavers and mildew/mold. Estate and Villa owners are required to clean their driveways and walkways to remove mildew/mold as needed. Walks and driveways accumulate mold very quickly during the rainy season and must be cleaned at least once annually. Inspections will be done at least twice per year by the Community Association Manager and/or the ARC committee. Notices requesting cleaning/maintenance will be sent to owners after the inspections. Owners must contact the CAO within 30 days of receiving the Notice to inform the Community Association Manager of their plan to have the

Page 9: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

cleaning performed. If the owner does not respond, the Association has the authority to have the work performed and include the cost of cleaning on the owner’s monthly invoice from the VCC. Sealing Driveway: Only CLEAR sealer may be used. Requests for painted stains for driveways will be denied. It is the owner’s responsibility to contact the landscaping company to have the water turned off, if necessary, during the application of the sealer.

Walkway Installation between Homes

In keeping with the charge to the ARC “to insure consistency throughout the community” the following criteria will

be considered as the basis for granting or denying approval of the requested project.

1. The requesting homeowner is responsible for determining the lot line and for installing the walkway entirely within his/her lot.

2. The homeowner is responsible for the locating of utilities and irrigation lines, and for any repairs required because of the construction. Homeowner is responsible for water mitigation between homes when necessary – refer to Guideline

“Landscaping with rocks Between Homes” for installation requirements.

3. The requesting owner must present a letter from the adjacent owner, stating that he/she agrees with the

scope of the project and with its proposed location.

4. With the Review Form the homeowner must provide: a) a drawing or sketch of the proposed project b) The name and address of the contractor along with license and insurance information. c) If re-landscaping is to be included in the project, then a detailed re-landscaping plan should be

submitted with the plant materials, preferably from the approved plant list (see Appendix II: Vanderbilt Country Club Plant List). Other plant/tree material will be considered for approval but must be identified in the re-landscaping plan. If the re-landscaping consists of one-for-one replacement of existing plants with identical plant material, then this should be noted in the request.

5. Paver selection and approval a) if construction of the walkway is attached to a new replacement of the

driveway, the pavers will be the same as the new driveway.

b) if the new walkway is attached to an existing driveway, the pavers must

match, as nearly as possible, the color, size and design of the existing pavers.

c) in either case, the homeowner must furnish at least 6 paver samples to be placed outdoors for committee review

6. Other: Paver Walkways are limited to 36” in width. a) Golf Cart access path are limited to 60” in width.

b) Walkways must terminate at lanai entrance

EXTERIOR PAINTING – VILLAS AND ESTATE HOMES: All exterior painting of homes must receive ARC approval before

painting begins.

The paint color to be used on the body of the house and the trim colors shall be selected from the “Homescapes Color Schemes Binder” which has been prepared by Sherwin-Williams, and can be borrowed from the CAO. All colors that are selected must be within the same Scheme number. All trim colors have been selected to coordinate with the body colors by the SW color consultant. The body color chosen by the owner must be different than the colors of the homes on either side of the house to be painted.

GUTTERS: The installation of gutters is permitted in villa and estate homes and must be white or match the color of

the house. The maintenance and repair of gutters is the sole responsibility of the homeowner.

Page 11: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

HURRICANE SHUTTERS GUIDELINES FOR ESTATE AND VILLA HOMES:

Vanderbilt Community Association, Inc. Board of Directors is not recommending that anyone should or should not

install hurricane shutters. Nor do they recommend any brand or installer.

Shutters installed shall meet the following specifications:

1. All shutter systems must meet or exceed all applicable building and hurricane codes; 2. All shutter systems must be white in color or match existing house color or trim color; 3. All shutter systems must be roll-down, accordion, protection screens or storm panels (new technology and

products will be reviewed on a case by case basis, pending approval from the VCA Board); 4. All shutter systems on the large opening in the lanais may be mounted on the inside or outside of the lanais

tie beam. 5. The cassettes for rollup shutters on the outside of the tie beams should be installed under the roof overhang

to minimize their look from the outside. 6. The cassettes for rollup shutters on the outside of windows should be installed under the roof overhang to

minimize their look from the outside when practical. 7. The cost of the installation of the shutter system and any subsequent maintenance is the responsibility of the

homeowner.

VCC encourages an “open look” in which hurricane shutters are in the up position,

but they recognize that there are sufficient reasons to lower shutters in additional scenarios as well. Hurricane

shutters can be in the closed position at the homeowner's discretion for the following reasons:

1. Homeowner may lower hurricane shutters during Hurricane Season: June 1 – November 30

2. All Lexan, aluminum, accordion or the like, and roll-down shutters on side and front windows and doors can

be installed or be in the closed position when the homeowner leaves for the season or June 1 for full-time

residents. These shutters must be removed or opened five days after November 30, which is the official end

to Hurricane season.

3. Homeowner may lower the hurricane shutters when they leave for the season.

4. Homeowner may lower the hurricane shutters if they are not in residence for 5 days or more.

5. Homeowner may lower the hurricane shutters for night-time security. Shutters may be lowered at sunset

but returned to open position by 9:00 a.m. the next day.

6. Homeowner may lower hurricane shutters for sunshade protection or to protect furnishings within the

screened area.

7. Homeowner may lower hurricane shutters during inclement weather conditions such as heavy rainstorms.

ADDITIONAL HURRICANE PROTECTION GUIDELINES FOR ESTATE AND VILLA HOMES

In the event of a pending hurricane, owners are permitted to install plywood or other alternate materials to protect

their single-family home no more than 48 hours prior to a named hurricane. The plywood or alternate material may

remain no longer than 72 hours after the named hurricane has passed.

INVISIBLE FENCING: The installation of an invisible fence is permitted. The pet may be on the lot without a leash;

however, if it breaks free from the lot line, it is considered an infraction of the leash rule. No other type of fencing of

any kind, including wire borders is permitted.

LANDSCAPING WITH ROCK OR PAVERS BETWEEN HOMES:

All proposed installations of landscape rock or pavers between homes to control drainage, or for any other reason

must receive ARC approval before installations begins.

In keeping with the charge to the ARC "to insure consistency throughout the community" the following guidelines will

be considered as a basis for granting or denying approval of the requested project:

1) The existence of gutters which are the primary method of carrying roof drainage away from the space between houses.

2) Use of the following installation materials may be necessary:

a) Attach 4-inch corrugated vinyl drain pipe to each down spout. Run drain pipe toward front or back of property to ensure proper drainage of excess water.

b) Install 4-inch, 6-inch, or 10-inch drain box(s) at the end of the drain pipe and flush with the ground area to lessen wash out of the soil.

c) Add sand or lime rock fill material to even the area being landscaped and to pitch the area toward the back and/or front of the homes so drainage can occur.

d) Lay landscape fabric over the fill material to prevent weed germination and to keep the fill from coming to the top of the Rock

e) Use at least a 3-inch layer of 2 to 3-inch brown egg rock over the landscape fabric. f) Use at least 18 inches of mulch between the rock material and the turf area to ensure mower

safety. g) Heavy gauge vinyl edging maybe used between the rocks and the mulch, but it is not required.

3) Responsibilities of homeowners:

a) Cost of irrigation including the moving of any sprinkler heads. Irrigation of the improved area will be adjusted by the landscape maintenance company.

b) Knowledge of where utilities are in yard c) Co-operation and/or partnership with neighbor who shares area to be landscaped with rocks

between their homes. MAILBOXES: Mailboxes and attached posts are the property of VCC. Homeowners should contact the CAO office for

any maintenance/repair. Homeowners are not permitted to affix anything to the mailboxes and posts, e.g. stickers.

WATERFORD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 1

RE: WATER SHUT OFF 5.1.17 Homeowners who leave their units for a period of greater than 72 hours are advised to ensure that they:

Turn off water heater electric breaker switch before you turn off the main water valves.

Turn off main water valves. (note there are two valves that need to be in the off position)

Before turning the water back on, open one hot water faucet to vent air from water heater and assure a full flow through heater.

Additional Guidelines to ensure the integrity of your unit’s plumbing system:

Turn the water back on only when you will be occupying your unit for at least one hour afterward. Do not allow your home watch to turn the water on before you arrive.

Check the water heater expansion tank for proper air pressure every 2 years if it has been previously checked and confirmed a good operating tank. Check annually if previously determined to lose its air charge sooner.

Watch for water in the pan below the water heater.

Use your dishwasher and washing machine when you're at home-- don't turn it on just before you go out.

Those living in lower units should discuss these items with their upstairs neighbors and/or renters -- don't assume everyone knows what you know.

Water shut-off is a home-owner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Waterford Community Association.

This advisory is for homeowners only.

WATERFORD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 2

RE: WATER HEATER EXPANSION TANKS – MAY 1, 2017

Water heaters installed in Waterford units have expansion tanks located above the water heater per the Collier

County Building Codes. These tanks are about the size of a gallon jug and are usually gray in color. Most tanks are

either Amtrol Therm-S-Trol, model ST-5, or Wilkens/Zurn, model WXTP-8.

These expansion tanks require periodic checking and maintenance if the tanks are to continue to provide safety from

increased water pressure in the water heater due to water expanding as it is being heated. Air pressure in the

expansion tank provides the safety from excess water pressure in the water heater. The system was designed to

protect both the water heater tank and the hot water lines.

Collier County Utilities is reporting higher water pressure in the lines leaving the North Water Plant and going to

Vanderbilt Country Club. Water pressure going into the home water heaters is approximately 70-74 psi. The air

pressure in the expansion tanks should be set at approximately 70 psi.

Page 20: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

20

The following steps can be used to test and set the air pressure in the expansion tanks:

1. Shut the water heater inlet water valve and turn off water heater electric circuit breaker. 2. Open a hot water faucet and allow the hot water to drain. Leave the facet open. 3. Remove the cap from the air valve on the top of the expansion tank and use an air gauge to measure to air

pressure in the expansion tank. 4. If needed, add air to the expansion tank to 70 psi. (require an air compressor or air tank). 5. Replace air valve cap. 6. Open water heater inlet water valve. 7. Close hot water faucet when full water flow is achieved. 8. Turn on electric circuit breaker.

A licensed plumber is strongly recommended.

Maintenance of a water heater or water heater expansion tank is a homeowner responsibility and not the

responsibility of the Waterford Community Association.

This advisory is for homeowners only.

WATERFORD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 3

RE: ATTIC ACCESS – MAY 1, 2017

Recently there was a unit flood caused by a contractor stepping on a fire sprinkler pipe in the building attic. Damage

resulted to both the upper and lower units.

Fire sprinkler pipes are attached slightly above and directly to the 2x4's on the attic floor. Extreme care must be

taken not to step on these pipes, which could result in a rupture.

Whenever access is required to a unit attic, Community Association Office must be notified in advance, and an ARC

(Architectural Review Committee) form must be submitted to the CAO.

Community Association Management will meet the person requiring access, at the unit, and give instructions on

proper entry procedures.

Homeowners will allow access to their unit for bonded contractors to run lines for new utilities and/or repairs

requiring access to multiple units. That access will be coordinated through the Community Association Office.

Attic Access notification is a homeowner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Waterford Community

Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

Waterford Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WATERFORD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 5

RE: Cleaning 2nd and 3rd Floor Lanais, May 1, 2017

The cleaning of upper unit lanais has become and a rather than an area of concern regarding the unit owner below

and exterior damage to the building paint.

The following is recommended for cleaning upper unit lanais:

Brush and vacuum cleaning should be the first approach.

Tough areas should be cleaned with a brush and solution of soap and water.

(Wet vacuuming of these areas is preferred)

When pressure washing is required, a solution of soap and water

Page 22: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

22

should be used. (Wet vacuuming of these areas is preferred – the ceilings are a

water resistant sheet rock material, and cannot withstand constant exposure to

water)

Whenever a soap solution is used, total rinsing is a MUST, Both inside the lanai and on the outside walls

below the lanai.

If lanai, or exterior building painting is damaged due to the use of cleaning agents, the unit owner will be held

responsible for the damage and repainting.

As a courtesy to the first and second floor unit owners, a second/third floor unit owner should notify the first/second

floor unit owner before cleaning begins so steps can be taken to prevent damage to the first or second floor lanai

furniture

Cleaning of the unit lanais is a home-owner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Waterford Community

Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

The Waterford Board of Directors has developed specific Hurricane Shutter Guidelines for

the Waterford Condominiums.

HURRICANE SHUTTER GUIDELINES

The installation of hurricane shutters in the Waterford Condominiums is prohibited, except in strict conformity to

plans and specifications as approved by the VCA Board.

No work may commence until the application process is complete and approved by the Architectural Review

Committee. The owner will be responsible for all costs of installation, maintenance and continued quality upkeep

of shutters or panels.

No work can commence until an approved permit by Collier County is posted on the door of the unit. Each unit

must go through the application process. Contractors may not use approval of one unit to perform work on

another.

The owner is responsible for ensuring that the installing contractor has obtained all necessary Collier County/City

of Naples building permits, licenses, and certificates for adherence to and compliance with all current applicable

Collier County building codes, along with State of Florida Guidelines. Insurance coverage may not be less than the

minimum amount required by law.

The owner is responsible for the repair of any damage to the common elements or other property or units within

the Waterford Association, which is a result of the installation, maintenance or removal of the hurricane shutters

described herein.

The owner holds the Association harmless from any costs or liability involved in the installation, maintenance, or

restoration of the area to its original condition in the event the shutters are ever removed.

Mounting: a.) Systems may be mounted on the inside of lanais and the outside of windows. b.) On all the

double hung windows, accordion type shutters may be used. c.) On all fixed windows, clear Lexan storm panels

may be used.

Timeframe: All Lexan panels used on any windows can be installed when the owner leaves for the summer and

left on until 5 days after Nov. 30, which is the official end to the Hurricane season. If the owner wishes to install

Lexan panels before April 1st, he/she must request approval from the Association Manager, in writing. All

accordion shutters on the exterior windows may be closed 48 hours prior to a named hurricane strike, and must

be opened within 5 days after the storm passes. It is the owner’s responsibility to arrange for the shutters to be

closed or opened.

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure anyone installing and removing the panels is insured.

Roll down or accordion shutters may be installed inside of lanais. These shutters may be left open or closed.

No storm bars may be installed.

Page 24: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

24

The color of the shutters must match existing Sherwin-Williams colors as closely as possible and a sample of the

painted shutter frame and slat must accompany the plans and specifications when the request for approval is

submitted. No designs, initials, pictures or names may be displayed on any of the shutters.

ADDITIONAL HURRICANE PROTECTION GUIDELINES FOR WATERFORD CONDOMINIUM OWNERS

AS APPROVED BY THE WATERFORD BOD ON JUNE 29, 2006

In the event of a pending hurricane, owners are permitted to install plywood, using hurricane window clips, to

protect their condominium no more than 48 hours prior to a named hurricane. The plywood may remain no longer

than 72 hours after the named hurricane has passed.

Hurricane window-clips and ½” plywood is an inexpensive way to protect your windows from high winds and

airborne debris. Hurricane window clips slide onto the edge of a ½” plywood sheet which is then easily inserted into

the exterior window casings of your condominium. Drilling holes is NOT PERMITTED, nor is it necessary with the

use of hurricane window clips.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 1

RE: Water Heater Expansion Tanks – May 2007, updated 11-17-2009

Water heaters installed in Wedgewood units have expansion tanks located above the water heater per the Collier County Building Codes. These tanks are about the size of a gallon jug and are usually gray in color. Most tanks are either Amtrol Therm-S-Trol, model ST-5, or Wilkens/Zurn, model WXTP-8. These expansion tanks require periodic checking and maintenance if the tanks are to continue to provide safety from increased water pressure in the water heater due to water expanding as it is being heated. Air pressure in the expansion tank provides the safety from excess water pressure in the water heater. The system was designed to protect both the water heater tank and the hot water lines. Collier County Utilities is reporting higher water pressure in the lines leaving the North Water Plant and going to Vanderbilt Country Club. Water pressure going into the home water heaters is approximately 70-74 psi. The air pressure in the expansion tanks should be set at approximately 70 psi. The following steps can be used to test and set the air pressure in the expansion tanks:

Shut the water heater inlet water valve and turn off water heater electric circuit breaker.

Open a hot water faucet and allow the hot water to drain. Leave the facet open.

Remove the cap from the air valve on the top of the expansion tank and use an air gauge to measure to air pressure in the expansion tank.

If needed, add air to the expansion tank to 70 psi. (require an air compressor or air tank).

Replace air valve cap.

Open water heater inlet water valve.

Close hot water faucet when full water flow is achieved.

Turn on electric circuit breaker. For further details contact a licensed plumber.

Maintenance of a water heater or water heater expansion tank is a homeowner responsibility and not the

responsibility of the Wedgewood Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 2

Additional Guidelines to ensure the integrity of your unit’s plumbing system:

Turn the water back on only when you will be occupying your unit for at least one hour afterward. Do not allow your home watch to turn the water on before you arrive.

Check the water heater expansion tank for proper air pressure every 2 years if it has been previously checked and confirmed a good operating tank. Check annually if previously determined to lose its air charge sooner.

Watch for water in the pan below the water heater.

Use your dishwasher and washing machine when you're at home-- don't turn it on just before you go out.

Those living in lower units should discuss these items with their upstairs neighbors and/or renters -- don't assume everyone knows what you know.

Water shut-off is a home-owner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 4

RE: Garage Door Maintenance –7-22-2009

The Wedgewood Board of Directors has determined that some garage doors in Wedgewood have malfunctioned and failed to properly open and close. These malfunctions are usually caused by a lack of proper maintenance leading to the failure. Garage doors in Wedgewood were installed between 2001 and 2002 by Action Automatic Door and Gate, a company located in Naples, FL. The Board has asked this company for recommendations on periodic service and maintenance of garage doors. This information is being furnished to homeowners who are responsible for maintaining their garage doors.

Adjust limit of door opening

Inspect and replace any worn rollers

Inspect and lubricate main drive gear

Lubricate T-rail

Check safety reverse

Check batteries in remote units An annual preventive maintenance program is recommended. The board recommends that homeowners contact local providers for this maintenance and discourages homeowners or home-watch providers from doing this maintenance. Adjusting the torsion spring and lubricating the main gear drive is dangerous and can cause serious injury.

Maintenance of garage doors is a homeowner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood

Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 5

RE: Dryer Vents, 11-17-2009

Clothes dryers require ongoing maintenance to keep them in safe operating condition. Plugged lint filters or dryer vents can cause an overheating condition and possibly result in a fire. Warning signs that dangerous lint buildup is occurring in you dryer and venting system may include the following:

Clothes take longer and longer to dry.

Clothes don’t fully dry. Clothes are hotter than normal at the end of the drying cycle.

The outside of the dryer gets very hot. The outside exhaust vent flapper does not fully open indicating low exhaust flow.

Laundry room becomes more humid than usual.

Burnt smell is evident in the laundry room. To keep your dryer in safe operating condition the following maintenance practices are recommended:

Clean the lint screen/filter before and after drying each load of clothes.

Clean behind the dryer and behind the lint screen/filter periodically.

Clean the entire dryer vent and dryer internal exhaust piping every 4-5 years under normal use conditions.

Maintenance of the clothes dryer or dryer vent is a home-owner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 6

RE: Cleaning 2nd Floor Lanais, 11-17-2009

The cleaning of upper unit lanais has become an area of concern regarding the unit owner below and exterior damage to the building paint. The following is recommended for cleaning upper unit lanais:

Brush and vacuum cleaning should be the first approach.

Tough areas should be cleaned with a brush and solution of soap and water. (Wet vacuuming of these areas is preferred)

When pressure washing is required, a solution of soap and water

should be used. (Wet vacuuming of these areas is preferred – the ceilings are a

water resistant sheet rock material, and cannot withstand constant exposure to water)

Whenever a soap solution is used, total rinsing is a MUST, Both inside the lanai and on the outside walls below the lanai.

If lanai, or exterior building painting is damaged due to the use of cleaning agents, the unit owner will be held responsible for the damage and repainting. As a courtesy to the first-floor unit owner, a second-floor unit owner should notify the first-floor unit owner before cleaning begins so steps can be taken to prevent damage to the first-floor lanai furniture.

Cleaning of the unit lanais is a home-owner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood

Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 7

RE: Termite Protection 2010

Termites thrive in the Florida climate and can get into any home: brick, block, stucco and even homes built on a concrete slab. They enter through tiny cracks and crevices in your home. Termites can be very destructive. They are in constant search for food and do not discriminate between your home and natural food sources. Two species of termites are common in Southwest Florida, Subterranean termites and Dry wood termites. Within the Wedgewood community we have had four instances of the subterranean termites and only one instance of the dry wood termite

The most common are the subterranean termites that live in large underground colonies. A single colony can have between 500,000 to over a million termites. More importantly, there can be several colonies per acre of land. These termites build mud tubes to access wood sources above ground and enter through cracks as small as 1/64th of an inch. Dry wood termites, while not as common, live above ground and swarms can enter your home through cracks, unscreened soffits and gable vents, on pets, and even on personal clothing.

Page 33: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

33

In April of 2010, the Wedgewood community had bait stations installed throughout the area. These are the green circular objects installed in the ground. These monitoring stations are placed around the perimeter of your home. Once subterranean termites begin feeding on the wood inside the monitoring station, the wood is replaced with poison bait. The termites feed on this bait and take it back to share with their nest mates until the colony is eliminated. This bait system is not effective against the Dry wood termites. In the one instance of dry wood termites, the wood door was treated with foam and termites that encountered the treated wood or fed on it will die. Typical warning signs of termites that every resident should be aware of include:

Damaged Wood – This can include wood that sounds “hollow” when tapped with the handle of a screwdriver or wood that is soft when probed with a sharp object. Small Holes or Ripples in Wood or Drywall – When termites damage wood in your home they often create tiny holes in the wood and drywall. Extensive damage could make the surface look like a poor paint job or ripples on the surface. Pellets – Dry wood termites excrete pellets that are kicked out of holes. These pellets often accumulate in piles on windowsills, baseboards or around other wooden objects like interior doors. These pellets resemble sawdust. Termite Wings – Often present after a swarm. They are typically found in small piles near window ledges or other light sources.

If you should observe any of these warning signs you should immediately contact Massey Services at 239-430-0708. Massey provides all pest and termite Protection for the Wedgewood community. Checking the interior of your unit is a homeowner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

WEDGEWOOD MAINTENANCE ADVISORY No. 8

RE: Unit Smoke Detectors – 11-16-2010

The smoke detectors require constant 120 volts, AC power AND a working 9-volt battery to operate properly.

Batteries should be changed once per year by the homeowner.

Each of the Wedgewood unit interiors is protected by a series of smoke detectors. The detectors are networked

together, so if one detector sounds an alarm, all the other detectors will also sound an alarm. The smoke detectors

operate as follows:

Smoke detectors will sound an alarm if there are combustion particles (smoke) in the air. They do not detect

heat, flame, or gas. The smoke alarms are designed to give audible warning of a developing fire.

The indicators on the detectors operate as follows:

Lights

Page 34: VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB Architectural Review …...Following is a list of Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Guidelines, as established and approved by the Vanderbilt Community Association,

34

Constant GREEN is on: AC power is present GREEN is off: AC power is NOT present RED blinks once per minute: Testing for presence of good battery RED blinks once per second: Smoke detector senses smoke and simultaneously sounds an alarm RED blinks once per 10 seconds: Smoke detector is quieting an unwanted alarm Alarm RED is off and detector is in alarm Another detector in the network has sensed smoke and is signaling this alarm

1. If a detector sounds an alarm, and no fire is present, look for the detector that has RED light blinking once

per second.

2. Press and release the test button on this detector to activate “False Alarm Control”, that when activated,

quiets unwanted alarms for up to 15 minutes. The alarm should stop within 10 seconds. The RED light will

blink every 10 seconds indicating it is quieting the unwanted alarm. If the smoke condition clears, the alarm

will sound two short beeps before returning to normal operation.

3. DO NOT remove or disconnect the battery or AC power to quiet an unwanted alarm. This will remove your

protection. Open windows and fan air around the smoke detector to clear the air. Also, use the “False Alarm

Control” mentioned in item #4 to silence the alarm for up to 15 minutes.

4. Remember, your unit smoke detector alarms are interconnected for your protection, and the detector in

alarm (RED light blinks once per second) must be found, the “False Alarm Control” activated by pushing the

test button, and smoke cleared from around the alarm to reset the system.

Smoke Detector maintenance is a homeowner responsibility and not the responsibility of the Wedgewood

Community Association. This advisory is for homeowners only.

ADDITIONAL HURRICANE PROTECTION GUIDELINES FOR WEDGEWOOD CONDOMINIUM OWNERS

As approved by the Wedgewood Board of Directors on July 17, 2007

In the event of a pending hurricane, owners are permitted to install plywood, using hurricane window clips, to

protect their condominium no more than 72 hours prior to a named hurricane. The plywood may remain no longer

than 72 hours after the named hurricane has passed.

Hurricane window-clips and ½” plywood is an inexpensive way to protect your windows from high winds and

airborne debris. Hurricane window clips slide onto the edge of a ½” plywood sheet which is then easily inserted into

the exterior window casings of your condominium. Drilling holes is NOT PERMITTED when using plywood, nor is it

necessary with the use of hurricane window clips.

X. EMERGENCY KEY PROGRAM

There is hereby established a program to further provide for the safety and protection of all Unit Owners, and to permit a thorough and efficient system of inspection and maintenance of Common Elements, including utility systems, fire suppression sprinklers, and systems shared by, and intended for the benefit of, more than one Unit within each Condominium Building. Adoption of an EMERGENCY KEY PROGRAM, managed and administered by the Wedgewood Community Association Manager (herein referred to as the “CAO”) constitutes a less intrusive method of entry in an emergency, rather than by forced entry, as permitted by the terms of the Wedgewood Declaration of Condominium, Art IX, Sec 9.1.1, and Florida Statutes, Sec 718.111 (5).

PROCEDURE: Each Unit Owner shall deposit with the PMO an access key to the front door of the Unit. The PMO, upon receipt of the key, will attach and affix to the key a tag upon which is written or stamped a reference number. The reference number shall not contain the address or the Owner of the Unit. The Unit Owner’s name and the address of the Unit will be recorded in the Wedgewood Key Log that is stored in a secure file. The key will be placed within a secure container and this container will be attached to the building in such a manner to prevent its unauthorized removal. Access to the box containing the Unit keys shall be only by the joint presence and signature of two persons, one of which may be a CAO, a Vanderbilt Country Club employee, a member of the Wedgewood Board of Directors or such other person or persons from Time-to-time designated by the Board. Access to the Emergency Key Box and to a Unit shall occur only a) in times of emergency and not for normal or routine repairs, inspection or maintenance, or b) to perform inspections, maintenance or repairs required by laws, ordinances, codes and regulations of appropriate governmental and regulatory authorities, and access has not otherwise become available within a reasonable time. Before accessing the Emergency, Key Box the PMO shall make a diligent and reasonable effort to locate the Unit Owner, tenant, Home Watch person or any other person so designated by the Unit Owner for their permission and assistance to access the Unit. The CAO’S effort to locate any of the above persons shall not be deemed unreasonable in the event the unit is in a building involved in a fire, flood, hurricane interior water leak or other natural disasters. Access to a Unit in an emergency shall be by the same two persons who removed the Unit key from the Emergency Key Box and will attempt to remain on the Unit premises until the emergency repairs are completed, inspected for damage, or the emergency otherwise abated. After the Unit is secured and locked, the Unit key shall immediately be returned to the Emergency Key Box. The persons accessing the Emergency Key Box shall enter in a Log, their name, date and time the key was removed, and when the key was returned. Each notation regarding removal and return of the key shall be signed by both persons. The Owner whose key was used for emergency access to the Unit shall be notified as soon as possible of the emergency and that entry was gained by use of the Unit key. Such notice shall be by personal phone call, email or voice mail, followed by a written letter. LOST KEY PROCEDURES: If a Unit Owner loses the Unit Key and is unable to access the Unit, the Unit Owner may seek the assistance of the PMO during normal business hours, to use the emergency key to gain entry. This service shall not be available after normal business hours of the office of the PMO. Please note: PMO does not provide mailbox keys. PENALTIES: Failure of any Unit Owner to deposit a working key with the office of the PMO within a reasonable time after acquiring a Unit and having received a request for such key shall constitute a violation warranting punitive measures under Article X, Sec 10.6 of the Wedgewood Declaration of Condominium. In addition, a Unit Owner’s willful failure or refusal to comply with this program shall be sufficient grounds for the Association to proceed against the Unit Owner in a court of law to recover damages to Wedgewood Condominium Property caused by the emergency.

XI. REPLACEMENT OF AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

Whenever the original refrigerant lines installed under concrete slabs require replacement due to failure of such lines, or because of the replacement of Air Conditioning condensing and/or evaporation units, the installation of new refrigerant lines shall be installed only within the sheet metal housings installed at the ends of each building, each of which have been designed to accommodate up to six line sets. Such line set replacements shall conform to the following specifications.

1) Routing: New line sets shall be installed up the side of the building within the existing line set housings, (with no more than six sets of lines per housing) then through the attic space as necessary to access the unit being serviced, and down through the stacked fan closets to the appropriate evaporating unit. All openings through firewalls and floors/ceilings of the fan closets shall be restored with fire stopping in accordance with applicable Fire Codes. 2) Line Set Housing Covers: Following installation of new line sets, the line cover ends are to be sealed to prevent entry of insects, birds, and animals into the covers and the building attic spaces. 3) Location of Condensing Unit: All replaced condensing units are to be located on the existing concrete pad, approximately in original place of the unit being replaced. 4) Compliance with General Requirements: Performance of all work described above is subject to, and must comply with, all provisions of Section XII of these Rules and Regulations.

XII. Material Improvements, Renovations, and Repairs Within a Unit, or a Limited Common Area Appurtenant to a Unit

Units in the Wedgewood Community are subject to all Laws, Ordinances and Codes of Local and State governing authorities, including Fire District Codes, Planning Commission Ordinances and Regulations, and Construction Codes of Collier County and Florida Statutes, as well as the provisions of the Documents and Rules governing the Vanderbilt Community Association, and the respective Wedgewood Condominium Association for such Unit. In addition to any specific provisions of the same, all improvements, renovations and repairs within a Unit or a Limited Common Area shall comply with the following requirements: ● The Unit Owner is responsible for assuring that all Contractors are duly licensed by the appropriate

authorities, and have obtained all necessary permits, licenses, and approvals for the work, and that the same is performed in compliance with such permits and the applicable codes.

● No work may commence until plans have been submitted to and approved by the Architectural Review

Committee. ● The Unit Owner is responsible for the cost of repair of damage to Common Elements, or to the Unit or

property of any other Owner, caused by the work or by the Contractor or its employees or sub-contractors, and whether during the initial work or by subsequent removal of any such improvements.

VANDERBILT COUNTRY CLUB

PLANT LIST

The attached Plant List has been prepared by the Architectural Review Committee with the help of the Property Management Staff and review of several Landscape Professionals. It is provided to help the Homeowners, Association volunteers, and Landscape professionals in selecting appropriate plants when they are choosing to re-landscape locations within VCC. It is not an exhaustive list, but rather a list of many of the plants which you see within the community, and which are relatively easy to grow when they are placed in the correct locations. The brief descriptions of each are provided to help you to choose a plant which will be suited to your location. Plants which are lovely in the summer, but look rather poorly in the winter months have purposely not been included. To Villa and Estate homeowners -- Re-landscaping in the community can be installed by the current landscape maintenance company (owners will contract with them directly), or any landscape company of your choice. If a homeowner is replacing a substantial portion of their landscaping, review and approval of the plan, by the Architectural Review Committee is required. A request for review can be obtained at the Community Association Office (CAO). In addition to the plant list, below you will find a list of the resources which have been used to compile this list. It is provided so that you may do additional research if you choose to do so. Plants which are not on this list may be used, but it is suggested that you do some research or check with a nursery for their characteristics before having them installed. The staff at the Community Association Office CAO may be able to provide some information.

NOTE Perennials are plants that grow indefinitely. Flowering perennials can provide color in your

landscape during every season of the year. Once established, they require less maintenance than

annual flowers. Like all plants, select those suited to your soil and climate. Because most perennials

remain in the bed for several years, soil preparation is essential. Perennials can be divided and they

transplant easily.
