1. To assure that Heritage Plantation is developed with high quality traditional designs, the developers have established a Design Review Committee to offer advice and suggestions to builders in order to produce a community of beauty as well as one with the best possible appreciation.
2. The Heritage Plantation Design Review Committee’s goal is to create an atmosphere of permanence through its demand of the use of traditional concepts and materials, hence the term “all brick community”. Therefore, the Committee reserves the right to make suggestions and/or reject plans that do not blend into the general theme of Heritage Plantation.
3. While the use of rough sawn wood, plaster, and “dryvit” are discouraged as building materials, they are allowed as minor accent materials used in traditional ways, i.e., half timber construction of Tudor design. Diversity of design is encouraged for a varied street picture; however, all-wood and stucco houses will not be allowed, such as might be prevalent in extremely “modern” or Spanish architecture. Lot owners are encouraged to seek designs that are consistent with the topography, character, size, and orientation of the lots on which they plan to build. Houses under the required sizes will not be allowed.
4. Color is an essential ingredient in the community, and while interesting colors are encouraged, the Committee reserves the right to reject colors inconsistent with the traditional concepts of the community.
5. Owners are encouraged to save existing trees. Trees over 10 inches in diameter at breast height may only be removed if they are within five feet of the building or with special permission from the Committee. The Landscape Plan and the implementation of the plan is an essential part of the present and future beauty of the development.
6. The following is a general set of requirements for Heritage Plantation; however, it is not the entire requirements. Please refer to the Heritage Plantation Protective Covenant and Restriction Manual available through the HPHOA.

1. Purpose

   The purpose of this restriction is to promote landscape development of single family residential lots that will preserve and appreciate the value of the development by promoting a high quality, cohesive level of landscaping. These requirements may be altered or amended at the discretion of the architectural control committee.

2. Guideline for Landscaping Planning:
   1. Existing vegetation and trees should be preserved whenever possible to provide screening and lend an established feeling to the Community.
   2. Shrubs should be well distributed, but not necessarily evenly spaced. Shrubs may be used for screening and to minimize the visual impact of driveways and parking areas.
   3. Earth berms may be used to create a sense of enclosure and to screen driveways, especially if planted with shrubbery.
   4. Unified mulched planting beds edged in materials such as brick, steel or wood look neat longer and their shape is preserved.
   5. Exterior building material colors should be considered when selecting flowering trees and shrubs so that colors will not compete with or negate each other.
3. General Landscape Requirements:
   1. A landscape plan shall be included as part of the lot development package submittal. This plan will include the entire lot and indicate the following:
