The purpose of this Design Review Manual is to provide guidance for Owners and Builders as<br />

contained in the Cory Lake Isles Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and <strong>Restrictions</strong><br />

("Declaration of<strong>Restrictions</strong>") and to:<br />

I. Establish a common design vocabulary;<br />

3. Encourage and preserve the best design and construction standards possible.<br />

The objective is to create a waterfront community of grand scale and elegance in a serene,<br />

recreational environment that will become and remain the most desirable of single-family,<br />

residential communities on Florida's freshwater <strong>lake</strong>s.<br />

The Beach Club, Guard Entry and other facilities have been fashioned with the highest design<br />

and construction standards to serve as a model ofthe quality all buildings should strive to achieve.<br />

It is not necessary that all architecture reflect the precise style of these buildings. However, any<br />

design that is not compatible will be discouraged (for example, ultra, ultra modem, or medieval).<br />

All design solutions should include:<br />

functional plan arrangements;<br />

unique, romantic, and quality residential appearance;<br />

a sensitive response to settings and surrounding structures;<br />

the creative use ofnatural topography;<br />

the maximum preservation of quality natural trees and plants.<br />

improvements, landscaping and exterior decoration on residential property in Cory Lake Isles to<br />

ensure thatthe same conforms to the standards, conditions and restrictions established for Cory Lake<br />

Isles. A design review process has been adopted to ensure that each proposed improvement will be<br />

evaluated for compliance with the design requirements and quality standards established for Cory<br />

Lakes Isles. Please note that there will be no construction on Saturday, Sunday or Holidays without<br />

the approval ofthe Developer orthe Association. The Owner and his consultants should review the<br />

DRe Design Standards before beginning planning and throughout the design process to ensure<br />

compliance and timely approvals.

I. Manipulation ofthe ground surface within the individual Lots must consider ovemIJ drainage and the impact of<br />

benning both within the site and as it meets the adjacent land functionally and aesl.betically.<br />

2. The intent ofcarefully continued drainage ofpriVBle Lots is w keep the Lots and streeIs as dry as possible, but<br />

still put as much water back inw the ground water system as possible.<br />

3. Cory Lake Isles has incorporated a major drainage system throughout the entire development which is designed<br />

to accept drain water 'run-oll" from individual Lots at designated points.<br />

4. Any benning concept being developed within the individual Lot must consider its connection to mounding and<br />

swale patterns already established on the adjacent Lots and easements. The edges ofthe linear Lots and easements arc<br />

defined by smooth-flowing low-gmund forms. Since the intent of the Master Plan is to integrate the single-family<br />

homes asonecompatible community, it is imperative that continuityofthe same berm andswale patterns becontinuous.<br />

plan.<br />

6. No water generated on any Lot shall flow onw adjacent Lots or unapproved locations on the easement.<br />

10. Fmal grading, including berms and swales for all Lots, shall be approved by the DRe. Refer w Declaration of<br />

<strong>Restrictions</strong>, 10.21 and 12.16.<br />

I. A plJlnt palette has been established for the Lots within Cory Lake Isles. These lists arc w be used as guidelines<br />

in theplantmaterial seloction andwcrcdcrived from the plJlnlll'capacity wsurvive in the environment and compatibility<br />

with other plJlnts at Cory Lake Isles.<br />

2. Each Ownerwill be required w invest a minimum orrive pcn:ent (5%)ofthe wta! cost ofthe construction ofthe<br />

home and other improvancnts in landscape plJlntings. However, when appropriate, a lower budget may be approved<br />

purchaser to Developer, which amount will be credited to the required. landscape budget.<br />

4. Lots with existing trees ofnaturally occuning species can beused as credit from the required additional trees to<br />

be planted on each Lot All requests for credit shall be submitted to the DRC and be subject to its written approval.<br />

5. Each Lot with <strong>lake</strong>front frontage will be restricted in plant material selection within the ftrSt twenty feel (20')<br />

landward of the normal high water line. Ground cover will be allowed, but no trees orshrubs are to be planted in this<br />

area Existing trees shall remain.<br />

6. The intent oflandseape development oneach Lot is to providea sense ofcommunity identity and to re-establish<br />

the natural eharacter ofthe landscape. The plantiog scheme should aJternpt to appear as mature as possible at the time<br />

of instaIlation.<br />

7. Plant composition should employ a variety of plant types in order to build a transition.<br />

8. No shrubs shall be planted in the right-of-way or easement without prior written consent of the DRC.<br />

3. Aoy intercept swale and berm system along the <strong>lake</strong>shore must be completed during the process for home<br />

construction if the ORC requires such berming and swales.<br />

4. Other site clements are a1Jowed within the following guidelines:<br />

(a) Barbecues: The Board encourages the design of barbecue units that are integraI with the design ofthe house.<br />

(b) Exterior Shower. Exterior showcreoclosures or equipment shouJd oot be exposed tothe street, <strong>lake</strong>, oradjaccnl<br />

J. No irrigation or sprinkler system on residential property may be connected to a well in Cory Lake Isies or any<br />

other <strong>lake</strong> or pond.<br />

4. The plans and specifications for each irrigation or sprinkler system shall be approved by the DRe.<br />

element but can provide direction and safety. Overall principles for Lot lighting will embody the following:<br />

(a) AU exterior lighting fixtures shall be approved in advance by the ORe.<br />

(b) Above-grade flood lights forthe lighting oftrees and plantings shall beconcea1ed as much as possible by shruh,<br />

to prevent daytime visibility. These fixtures are not allowed in grass areas visible from the street, Lake Cory or<br />

In order to IlSSlIre every resident of Cory Lake Isles that the proper standards of development, design and<br />

construction will be encouraged and maintained to everyone's benefit, the ORC has been established and these<br />

Arcbitectw"a1 Design Standards and review criteria bave been created.<br />

The pwpose of the ORC is to enforce the design standards, requirements and restrictions as contained in the<br />

Declaration of<strong>Restrictions</strong> and this Manual. The ORC sha11 be composed ofone to three persons. all fwniliar with the<br />

ovenill Masta P\an, individual pan:cI concepts, design standards and construction processes. The ORCisthe interpreter<br />

of the meaning and intent of the design standards, requirements and restrictions as contained in the Declaration of<br />

<strong>Restrictions</strong> and this Manual as well as the administmtor of same. Questions concerning meaning. inle"t or<br />

administration ofthe design stJIndards, requirements andrestrictions ascontained in the Declaration of<strong>Restrictions</strong> ond<br />

this Manual should be addressed to the Chairman of the ORC.<br />

The objective of the ORC is to ensure that all design, development. construction, landscaping and eX'-Tior<br />

decoration within Cory Lake Isles is in conformance with the Declaration of <strong>Restrictions</strong> and this Manual ond is<br />

aesthetically compatible with the standards established for Cory Lake Isles, Accordingly, all development ond<br />

construction on Lots within CoryLake Isles shall be subject to prior review and approval ofthe plans and specilieation<br />

for same by the DRC. The DRCshall ensure lhatthedesign review process foreach submittal isconducted in a monner<br />

thet isconsisteot and timely and inaccordance with therequirements ofthis Manual and the Declaration of<strong>Restrictions</strong>,<br />

The design review process begins with a site visit and orientation for the Lot Owners to inapcct their very unique<br />

Lot in CoryLake Isles. The visit will assist the Owners ofeach Lot toconceptualire bowtheir bome may relate toonu<br />

take advantage ofthe natwaI amenities. Subsequently, the Owners shall submit plans and specifications as follows:<br />
