When you purchased your home, you agreed to abide by the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) of the Estates at River Ranch. The Architectural Control Rules and Regulations are based

on the CC&Rs, which establish the community standards applying to all 78 lots. BEFORE you begin ANY modification that is visible from the exterior of your home or any change to your landscape,

YOU MUST GET APPROVAL from the Architectural Control Committee. This applies to changes on the entire lot and includes the addition of decorations, pots, furniture, etc. to your landscape.

APPROVAL FORMS ARE INCLUDED and available at: www.estatesatriverranch.com

2017-18 Architectural Control Committee

Bonne Overstreet, Chair

Tom Butler

September 30, 2018

Dear Lot Owners:

After numerous hours and legal reviews, the Architectural Control Committee has now adopted and

published its 6th version of Rules & Regulations for the Estates at River Ranch Homeowner Association.

This document finds its justification in the CC&Rs and By-Laws of this Association, and its necessity in

2004 when, cognizant of the aging of homes and landscape, the ACC researched existing conditions and

articulated standards being generally observed by this community. To do this, they looked at every detail

on all 78 homes and worked tirelessly to translate their documented findings into rules and regulations that

faithfully articulated those standards.

The Architectural Control Committee asks all Lot Owners to do the following:

1. Please take the time to read this document and refer to it at any time there is an issue pertaining to

either the architecture or landscape of your home, whether that issue is a question originating in

your home or through notification by your ACC.

2. Please understand that this document is intended to promote harmony in our community, to protect

and enhance the value of our properties.

Collectively, by maintaining our lots to meet community standards, we can all enjoy our lovely area and the

property values of our homes within this HOA. The Architectural Control Committee’s goal is to support

and uphold these requirements set forth in the CC&Rs that apply equally to all 78 Lot Owners. Your

cooperation is important and appreciated!

Sincerely,

Your ACC

1 Purpose

This Rules & Regulations booklet was drafted to further simplify, define, and provide a better understanding

of the content of the governing documents, which documents run with the land and are binding on all

persons who purchase, own, lease, sublease, occupy or otherwise having an interest in a lot, including those

persons’ heirs, executors, administrators, successors, grantees, and assigns. This booklet is the publication

of the Architectural Control Committee and may be changed from time to time.

2 Effective Date

The effective date of this document is September 30, 2018. It replaces all previous publications concerning

architectural matters within the Estates at River Ranch.

3 Architectural Control Committee

The Architectural Control Committee is established by the CC&Rs and derives its authority and mandates

therefrom. The committee is available to owners for clarification of the CC&Rs and/or their application

through this document. The ACC typically executes its responsibilities in the following ways:

1. Conducts an annual property review to identify homes fully compliant and homes with issues

requiring remedial work.

2. Receives requests for property changes from home owners on ACC provided forms. The ACC

reviews the requests and then approves or disapproves based on the CC&Rs and ACC rules.

3. Monitors property conditions throughout the year and may issue interim compliance notifications

as required.

4. Develops and periodically updates a compendium of Rules and Regulations.

5. Maintains a history of each Lot.

6. Continually monitors local, state, and federal regulations and laws.

7. Evaluates properties in escrow to ensure the property is in full compliance with the CC&Rs and the

ACC Rules & Regulations at time of sale.

4 Authority Granted by CC&Rs

When you purchased your home, you agreed to abide by the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions

(CC&Rs) of the Estates at River Ranch. The Architectural Control Rules and Regulations are based on

the following sections of the CC&Rs establishing the community standards that apply to all 78 lots.

The following are only intended to be summaries of the provisions in the CC&Rs for the convenience of

the reader. Owners are advised to review each provision as it appears in the CC&Rs. In the event of any

inconsistency between these summaries or these Rules and the CC&Rs, the CC&Rs control.


4.1 Article VI: Maintenance by Association

The Association is responsible for maintaining the streets, curbs, canals, landscaping, and irrigation of the

Common Areas. This section also delegates the maintenance responsibilities for each Lot to the individual

Lot Owners, including sidewalks, as applicable.

4.2 Article VII: Maintenance by Lot Owner

Each owner shall be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of all areas, features, or parts of the Lot and

improvements thereon.

4.3 Article X: Use Restrictions

4.3.1 Section 1 – Use and Occupancy Restrictions

Restricts the use of each lot to single family residences and prohibits the construction of additional

structures on the lot.

4.3.2 Section 5 – Structural Changes

Nothing shall be done on or in any lot or in, on or to any building which would structurally change any

such building except as otherwise provided in the Governing Documents.

4.3.3 Section 6 – Individual Gardening

Requires Lot Owners to keep their landscapes neat, clean, and free from weeds and unsightly growth.

Requires ACC approval for all changes to the landscape.

4.3.4 Section 7 – Exterior Modifications

Except with the approval of the Architectural Control Committee, no change, modification or addition

of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to painting, decorating, planting, awnings, and

sunshades) shall be made or carried out on the exterior of any residence.

4.3.5 Section 9 – Nuisances

Prohibits Lot Owners from engaging in noxious and offensive activity, creating health hazards, and

using their lots for commercial purposes.

4.3.6 Section 11 – Clothes Drying Facilities

No outside clotheslines will be permitted on any lot.

4.3.7 Section 15 – Walls and Containers

Requires ACC approval for the construction of any wall or fence. Requires perimeter walls on the

individual lots to be painted the same color as the house exteriors. Establishes the ACC’s authority to

determine the color of the perimeter wall along the Tanque Verde Wash.

4.3.8 Section 14 – Utility Lines

Utility lines must be buried up to the walls of the house.


4.3.9 Section 17 – Signs

Restricts the size of real estate signs and prohibits the signs that this Section 17 states are unauthorized,

except to the extent permitted by A.R.S. § 33-1808.

4.4 Article XIII: Architectural Control Committee

4.4.1 Section 4 – Architectural Control Committee Rules

The Architectural Control Committee may, from time to time, adopt, amend and repeal, by unanimous

vote or written consent, rules and regulations. The rules shall interpret and implement the CC&Rs

by setting forth the standards and procedures for Architectural Control Committee review and the

guidelines for architectural design, placement of buildings, landscaping, color schemes, exterior

finishes and materials and similar features which are recommended for use within the Property.

Pursuant to Article XIII, Section 4 of the CC&Rs, the Architectural Control Committee reserves the

right to adopt rules requiring the payment of a processing fee by Owners requesting approval.

5 Welcome Meeting

A Welcome Meeting between the new homeowner(s) and the ACC is required by the Board of Directors to

take place within 30 days following the closing of a house sale. The purpose of this meeting is to provide

the new homeowner(s) with the necessary information to abide by the standards of this community. A

Welcome Packet will be given to the new owner(s) prior to the scheduled meeting to provide an opportunity

to review the contents of the packet and think of questions for the ACC to answer. The packet will contain

copies of the Community Directory, Rules and Regulations manual, issues of the community newsletter,

a House Review form, Exterior Modification Request forms, and other items pertinent to this community.

The new owners will also be given keys to the HOA’s gates that lead to walking paths along the Tanque

Verde Wash and the adjoining neighborhoods. All attendees will sign a document at the end of the meeting

to acknowledge that the meeting took place and the topics of discussion. A copy will be given to the new

owner and another copy will be placed in the official house file of the new owner.

6 House Reviews

The ACC conducts comprehensive house reviews as necessary to examine and document the condition of

lots based upon these Rules and Regulations and the CC&Rs. The document used for this evaluation is

the House Review Worksheet (Appendix A: House Review Worksheet) which provides a checklist for

compliance with community standards. Following a House Review, a Lot Owner is sent a notification

regarding the status of his or her lot. As described in Section 7: Types of Compliance, a status of Full

Compliance or Provisional Compliance require no action from the Lot Owner. In cases of Non-Compliance

with the standards, a notification with items listed and a completion date will require the Lot Owner to


correct the cited items within the time allotted. Once the issues are resolved, a letter of Compliance or

Provisional Compliance will be sent to the Lot Owner. A copy will also be filed in the official house file

for that lot. If issues are not resolved within the specified time, then the ACC will proceed with the non-

compliance process specified in Section 8: Notification of Non-Compliance.

7 Types of Compliance

7.1 Full Compliance

Full compliance indicates that the condition of a Lot complies with all applicable sections of the CC&Rs

and the standards specified in these Rules and Regulations on the date the compliance notice was written.

7.2 Provisional Compliance

Several homes within the complex have single items that do not comply with this document, typically

through no fault of the current owners. In 2011, following legal counsel, these owners were notified that

these items will require correction in one of three formats, i.e. when the item deteriorates sufficiently to

need replacement, prior to closing if the house is sold; or owners can correct the item upon notification.

Provisional compliance indicates that the lot is in full compliance except for the noncompliant item(s).

7.3 Non-compliance

Non-compliance indicates that one or more conditions exist on the Lot that do not comply with the CC&Rs

and/or the standards specified in these Rules and Regulations. The ACC addresses Non-compliance by

following the procedure described in Section 8: Notification of Non-Compliance.

8 Notification of Non-Compliance

1. Lot Owners will be notified by the ACC that their lot is not in compliance. The notice will be in

writing with a specific description of the violation(s) to be resolved and a required completion date.

The notice will be mailed to the Lot Owner via mail service that provides delivery tracking. All

action to obtain compliance will be in accordance with the Planned Communities Act, ARS 33-

1803, et. seq., other applicable Arizona and federal laws, provisions of the CCRs, By-Laws, Articles

of Incorporation and resolutions by the Board of Directors.

2. If the Lot Owner believes the violation is incorrect, the Lot Owner must contact the ACC in writing

within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice. Acceptable methods of contact include mail and e-mail

([email protected]).

3. Once the ACC receives notice from the Lot Owner that the violation is in question, the ACC will

schedule a meeting with the Lot Owner in writing via e-mail or mail service that provides delivery

tracking. The meeting will provide the ACC the opportunity to clarify the cited violation for the

Lot Owner. The Lot Owner will have an equal opportunity to state the reasons why the violation is

incorrect and request that the ACC change its decision.


4. If the ACC decides that the violation is correct and must be resolved to uphold the community

standards, the Lot Owner will be notified that the issue must be corrected within ten (10) days

upon receipt of a letter sent by mail service that provides delivery tracking. If the Lot Owner does

not comply with the ACC’s decision and stated completion date, then the ACC will refer the matter

to the Board of Directors.

5. The ACC will provide a written history of the violation to the Board of Directors and ask the Board

to hold an executive session pursuant to ARS Section 33-1804(A)(3). In the executive session,

the Board will vote to impose a fine. Unless a Supplemental Fine Schedule has been adopted for a

specific violation, the Board will follow the General Fine Schedule (please see Appendix B: General

Fine Schedule) when assessing the fine.

6. The Lot Owner will notify the Board in writing when the violation is corrected. The ACC will

review the conditions of the lot for compliance with community standards. The ACC will issue a

letter of compliance to the Lot Owner and notify the Board if the violation has been corrected to the

satisfaction of the ACC.

9 House Sale Process

When a lot goes on sale, the Architectural Control Committee’s role is to ensure that the property is in full

compliance with the CC&Rs and the Rules and Regulations at the time of the sale. To accomplish this,

the ACC reviews the property for a final house review, using the House Review Worksheet (Appendix A:

House Review Worksheet), which addresses the community standards. Once this review is completed, a

copy is sent to the title company, the current lot owner, and to the new owner before closing. If the lot is

found to be in compliance, no action is necessary by either the seller or the buyer. If, however, issues exist

that need to be addressed, then the buyer and the seller must decide who will be responsible for the cited

non-compliant items. The Architectural Control Committee takes no part in this decision. The purpose

of this process is to ensure that the property meets the community’s standards at the time of the sale. This

allows the new lot owner to begin with compliance.

10 What Requires Approval

Before you begin any modification that is visible from the exterior of your home or any change to your

landscape, you MUST obtain approval from your Architectural Control Committee. Prior approval is

required for any and all modifications visible from the exterior of the home, the Lot or any improvements

on the Lot, of any kind whatsoever. Any change in the vegetation installed in the front or visible side yard

other than vegetation which was originally installed by the developer also requires prior approval.


11 Application Approval

All action by the ACC will be by a majority vote. No individual member of the ACC has the authority to

approve or disapprove any plans and no owner has the right to rely on any statements that are made by any

one member of the ACC. All approvals must be in writing and must indicate that the approval was by a

majority of the members of the ACC.

1. The owner must complete an “Architectural Control Committee - Modification Request Form”

(sample enclosed in this booklet and available on the web site or from ACC voting members) and

mail it to Estates at River Ranch HOA, PO Box 32487, Tucson, AZ 85751-2487. Email submissions

of Modification Request Forms are not accepted.

2. If the Architectural Control Committee does not approve or disapprove any application within

30 days after the application has been received, then the Lot Owner may then proceed with the

proposed changes. Any such changes are deemed approved pursuant to Article XIII, Section 7

of the CC&Rs. However, the Lot Owner must substantiate with written documentation that a

Modification Request Form was mailed and delivered via courier tracking (such as a Certified US

Mail receipt) before proceeding with the proposed change(s) to the Lot.

3. Owners are responsible for complying with all local, state and federal rules and regulations. Any

required permits are the responsibility of the Owner. The Architectural Control Committee is not

responsible for any defects in the plans or the construction.

4. Neither the Architectural Control Committee nor any member of the ACC is liable to any Owner,

or to any other party, for any damage that the Owner claims arose as a result of the approval or

disapproval of the plans, drawings, or specifications.

18 Construction, Remodeling, and Landscaping

• Vendors do not know the community’s standards. You, the Lot Owner, are responsible for knowing

the standards. It is the Lot Owner’s responsibility to inform the Vendor about the standards for

parking, clean-up, and noise prior to work being started.

• It is the lot owner’s responsibility and a courtesy to let your neighbors know if you are having work

done that might have a negative impact, such as dust or noise, which your neighbors may experience.

Maintaining positive neighborly relationships is valued in our community.

• Regarding parking, please let your vendors know parking on the sidewalk is prohibited, blocking the

sidewalks is not allowed, and blocking the streets with trucks or equipment is not permitted in this

community.

• Discuss the following issues with your contractor in advance:

– If dumpsters are needed, ask your contractor how long they will be needed and determine exact

placement for them. ACC approval is required in advance for dumpster use and placement.

– Staging: Discuss with your contractor where and how materials will be delivered and stored

until installed. If possible, use your garage for storing materials to ensure security. Any other

choice requires ACC approval.

– Debris: Discuss with your contractor how materials will be cleaned and removed during and

after work is completed. No debris may remain in front of home or curbside overnight.

• Vendors who provide landscaping, pool, paint, and other services may not use streets, washes, or

driveways for clean-up or debris, i.e. backwash of pool, cleaning paint brushes, blowing leaves/debris

to remain in the street, other yards, washes, or canals.

• Vendors’ advertising signs are prohibited on the lot prior to, during, or after work is completed.

19 Amendment Process

From time to time, the ACC may amend these Rules and Regulations by unanimous vote of the Committee.

The amendment(s) will then be mailed to each Lot Owner and will take effect upon mailing.

20 Standards

All front doors, garage doors, and roof tiles must be purchased from the original or alternate sources and

must be maintained and/or restored to the original condition. Please see Section 21: Community Essentials

for more information.


20.1 Antennas and Satellite Dishes

The installation of television antennas and satellite dishes less than one (1) meter in diameter are subject

to the rules and regulations adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1996 and

thereafter, (referred as the OTARD Rules). All other antennas are restricted by Article X, Section 16 of

the CC&Rs. Satellite dishes more than one (1) meter in diameter are prohibited.

The ACC recommends installation of television antennas and satellite dishes on the side or back of the

home in order to minimize their visual impact. The ACC also requests that owners submit a Modification

Request Form describing the size, type, and location of the antenna or satellite dish so that the Lot’s house

file is updated with current information.

20.24 Lights, Exterior

Any request to change the exterior lights requires prior written approval of the ACC and must include

the size, material, color and specifics of lighting style. All house lights must match, and there can be no

mixed materials and/or styles. Wrought iron, glass, pottery, or ceramic are the recommended materials for

exterior lights. Plastic or acrylic are not recommended. Exterior lights must be maintained to be clean and

functional. Exterior lights must contain white, off-white, or yellow anti-insect light bulbs, and all bulbs

must match in color. Light bulbs with colors other than white, off-white, or yellow are permitted when

displayed as part of holiday decorations.

20.25 Lights, Landscape

Landscape lights may be installed with the prior written approval of the ACC. Lights must be consistent

in style and materials. Landscape lights must contain white or off-white light bulbs, and all bulbs must

match in color. Landscape lights must be maintained to be upright and securely positioned in the ground.

Deterioration of landscape lights requires repair or replacement.

20.26 Lights, Security

Security lights may be installed with the prior written approval of the ACC. The lights must be directed

in a manner so that they are not obtrusive to the owners of adjacent lots. Security lights must contain white

or off-white light bulbs, and all bulbs must match in color. The ACC recommends that security lights be

placed at the corners of the house roof. Security lights must be maintained and functional.

20.27 Nails/Decoration Holders

Nails/decoration holders are allowed for holiday decorations but must be painted to match the color of the

house/fascia where they are located if being left in place year-round. They cannot protrude to the extent

that they distract from the design and appearance of the house.


20.28 Paint

Exterior house paint colors cannot be changed without approval from the Architectural Control Committee.

All trim/fascia is Navajo White DEC 772.

Approved house wall colors are: Adobe South DEC 709, White Sand DEW 336, Cameo DEC 742,

Travertine DEC 738, Demure Beige II DC 26, Sombrero Q 417 T, Navajo White DEC 772, and Sunset

Cove DEC 708.

All paint has a flat finish.

These paint colors are supplied only by Dunn-Edwards Paints, 4320 East Speedway or 7525 East Broadway.

The list/chart in Section 12 is provided as a reference. The Lot Owner has the responsibility to verify the

approved color before painting.

If an owner is not painting the entire house or perimeter walls after repairs are completed, the best way

to match the existing weathered wall color is to use the metal electric box cover. Remove it and take it to

Dunn-Edwards so that their technician can mix a color that will match your existing stucco.

All touch-ups and repairs must be continuous in color with the rest of the house and/or perimeter walls.

This paint can then be used for touch-up and repair until the house is once again painted. In most cases the

electric box cover will match the stucco, but, to be sure, check that it does match before taking it to Dunn-

Edwards for paint to be prepared.

20.29 Perimeter Walls

This standard refers to all perimeter walls visible from the street, canals, and along the Tanque Verde

Wash, if applicable. Perimeter walls cannot be dirty, cracked, split, heaving, chipped, or broken. Repairs

to the walls that require painting must match the current color of the wall. All perimeter walls must be

the same color as the house except for the outside surface of the back walls along the Tanque Verde Wash.

The CC&Rs stipulate that the ACC determines the color of those back walls. The chosen color is Dunn

Edwards Travertine DEC 738.

The walls adjoining a house and/or its exterior walls must be painted the same color as used on the house.

Exterior perimeter walls surrounding the subdivision have a color determined by the ACC.

20.30 Recessed House Foundation

The house foundation cannot be dirty or have missing or cracked stucco. Repairs must match the current

texture and color of the stucco foundation.

20.31 Roof Vent Pipes

Metal furnace and water heater chimneys, sewer vents, fan vents, and dryer vents must not be bent or

crooked. The metal chimneys, vents, and the surrounding flashing must be painted TILE RED (available

at ABC supply Co). This standard does not apply to fireplace chimneys which are addressed in a separate

standard.


20.32 Security Screen Doors

These doors are allowed with the prior written approval of the ACC. Security doors must be kept closed at

all times. When approval for installation is requested, the application must contain the style, pattern, color

and type for the review of the ACC. Recommended colors for security doors are earth tones (brown, beige,

cream, or terra cotta), the house color, or Dunn-Edwards Navajo White.

20.33 Security Window Bars

This type of installation is discouraged as it erroneously conveys to the public that there is a problem with

crime in the community. However, requests for this type of installation will be considered on a case-by-case

basis. Any request for approval must contain installation specifications, including the color, style, size of

bars, material, and a photograph or brochure showing what is requested to be installed.

20.34 Sidewalks

These are the responsibility of the Owner who must attend to repairs and restoration as specified in Articles

VI and VII of the CC&Rs. Sidewalks must be maintained free from holes, deterioration, heaving of 1” or

greater (trip hazard), damage, weeds, grass, or ground cover. Nothing may block the use of the sidewalks,

including vegetation and parked cars.

20.35 Signs

The display of signs that are visible from the exterior of the home are restricted by Article X, Section 17 of

the CC&Rs and any amendments thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between this standard and the

CC&Rs, the CC&Rs control.

One marketing sign for the sale, rent or lease of a home is allowed on each lot, except for signs required by

legal proceedings, security signs and political signs (see below). Additional temporary signs are allowed

as follows: [1] Open house; [2] Unit owner’s for sale; [3] Owner or owner’s agent for lease or rent. (Cf.:

Arizona Statutes 33-1808)

The size of a sign offering a property for sale/rent/lease must conform with an industry standard size sign,

which cannot exceed 18” x 24” and industry standard size sign riders, which cannot exceed 6” x 24”.

Signs identifying contractors, as required by law, may be displayed only during actual remodel construction.

Signs indicating that the lot is protected by a security company are permitted. Political signs, which are

displayed no earlier than 71 days before the day of an election and no later than 3 days after the election, are

also permitted.

The maximum dimension of security company signs are 24” x 24”. The maximum dimension of political

signs is the dimension provided in the Tucson City Code. Only the number of signs allowed by the City of

Tucson is permitted.

If installed in the ground, signs must be upright and properly maintained.


20.36 Skylights

Skylight frames and flashing can have their original metal finish or be painted TILE RED (available at

ABC Supply Co). If painted, the paint must be maintained to be free from fading or chipping. If there

are multiple skylights on the house, then they must match in both style and frame color. ACC approval is

required to add or change skylights.

20.37 Solar Energy Devices

Solar Energy Devices are permitted by A.R.S. § 33-1816. However, the ACC may provide recommendations

for the type and placement of such devices. Plans and specifications must be submitted to the ACC showing

the type, location and materials of the devices prior to installation. Non-visible locations are preferred.

20.38 Storage Cabinets

Storage cabinets must not be visible from the street. Placement of storage cabinets in the back yard requires

prior written approval of the ACC. If the storage cabinet is visible from neighbors’ property, written

approval of the affected neighbor(s) is also required prior to installation. Please see Section 20.3: Backyard

Improvements.

20.39 Trees

Trees must be trimmed away from the walls, roof, and fascia of the Lot Owner’s home and neighbors’

homes. Regardless of location on the Owner’s lot, palm trees must be trimmed annually of dead fronds and

flower pods.

The Lot Owner’s landscape and street must be kept free of debris from trees (needles, leaves, acorns, flower

petals, etc.), particularly during seasonal shedding.

20.40 Walls

Nothing can be attached to the exterior of the perimeter walls. Any foliage extending over perimeter walls

must be maintained at all times. Any deviation from this standard is not permitted unless the written

approval of the ACC has been obtained.

20.41 Windows

Where window openings contain panes with plinths (crossbars), these must be maintained as originally

placed. When replacing windows, owner may choose from the following three styles that are already

present throughout the community:

• Window panes that are clear without plinths

• Window panes with plinths

• French window boxes

Frames must be recessed, flat black metal as originally installed by the builder. Vinyl and fiberglass are not

approved materials for windows. ACC approval for replacement of windows is required prior to ordering/

installation.


20.42 Window Coverings

Interior window coverings (blinds, drapes, shutters, etc) that are visible from outside must be maintained

so that they are not discolored, dirty, torn, broken, or misaligned. Only horizontal blinds, vertical

blinds, drapes, curtains, or shutters may be used as window coverings. Damaged or dirty window

coverings must be repaired or replaced.

20.43 Window Screens

Window screens are not mandated, but existing screens must be properly maintained. Screens cannot

be torn and frames cannot be bent. Damaged screens must be repaired, replaced, or removed. Screen

installation (or removal) must match along each elevation (side) of the house. Awnings or rolling

shutters are subject to the prior approval of the ACC.

21 Community Essentials

21.1 Front Entry Doors

The original manufacturer is Simpson. Our doors are Douglas Fir Chateau 4180, raised molding on one

side with optional exterior scrollwork. Architectural Traditions is the single dealer in Tucson that sells

this model of door. The Chateau 4180 is still available and can be ordered. The scrollwork between the

two sets of panels is available with an additional charge. This is the door approved by the ACC when

you need to replace your front entry door.

The Homeowner may choose the door with OR without the decorative scrollwork. Ordering time for

the door is 4-6 weeks. In order to keep your official house file up to date, prior ACC approval is required.

21.2 Garage Doors

Wayne Dalton is the only approved garage door for our community. Yeager, the original manufacturer

of our doors, was purchased by Wayne Dalton. No other manufacturer or installer can match the doors.

The original style is Wayne Dalton Colonial Raised Panel Foamcore model 9100 or the upgraded model

9605. The color of the garage door and its trim and weather stripping must have a matte finish and

match the house color.

The garage door may be enhanced with windows selected from the options as follows:

For the model 9100: Cascade I

Cathedral I

Sherwood I

Stockton I

Waterton I

Williamsburg I


For the model 9605: Sherwood II

Stockton II

Williamsburg II

Any replacement garage door must be Wayne Dalton and must receive prior approval by the ACC to

ensure that it meets the community standard.

Source: Wayne Dalton

(520) 888-0140

21.3 Gates

Gates must be REDWOOD, TONGUE AND GROOVE STYLE with a FLAT BLACK METAL

FRAME. TONGUE and GROOVE style means the wood panels or slats fit into each other to create a

solid wood appearance. No space exists between the redwood panels.

The Homeowner has a choice regarding the finish of the gate(s):

1. same color as your house

2. the color of the house trim (Dunn- Edwards Navajo White DEC 772)

3. a wood stain in neutral earth tones.

If your home has two gates, they must match.

The top of the gate must be equal to and no higher than the height of the side metal columns of the

gate’s attaching frame. The metal gate frame is painted a flat black.

The ACC recommends that gates be treated once a year to prevent deterioration. If not treated, the

wood will split, crack, or separate and require repairing or replacing.

ACC approval is required when restoring gate(s).

21.4 Paint and Approved Paint Colors

All paint used must be Dunn-Edwards. The original color names have changed over the years. However,

the ACC maintains a current list. The approved colors for our homes and perimeter walls are:

a. Adobe South DEC 709

b. Cameo DEC 242

c. Demure Beige II DC

d. Navajo White DEC 772

e. Sombrero Q 417 T

f. Sunset Cove DEC 708

g. Travertine DEC 738

h. White Sand DEW 336


The approved house trim color is Dunn-Edwards Navajo White DEC 772. Approved house colors per

lot are listed in your Neighborhood Directory and on Page 13 of this Rules and Regulations Booklet. If

you have questions regarding approved paint colors, always feel free to contact the ACC.

The perimeter walls must be painted the same color as the house. If an owner is not painting the entire

house or perimeter wall after repairs have been completed, the best way to match existing weathered/

faded wall color is to use the metal electric box lid if painted. Remove it and take it to Dunn-Edwards

where their technician will mix a color that will match your existing stucco. In most cases, the electric

box cover will match the house color, but, to be sure, check and confirm that it matches before taking it

to Dunn-Edwards for paint to be prepared.

Exterior perimeter walls along the Tanque Verde Wash are all painted Dunn-Edwards Travertine DEC

738 (matte finish) as determined by the ACC per the CC&Rs.

Be sure to tell Dunn-Edwards you are from the Estates at River Ranch as they will give you a discount

on your purchase. They know we require all paint to be Dunn-Edwards, therefore they offer this

discount.

All painting must be continuous in color. If you are painting a section of your house or wall and the

paint matches the current house or wall color, then it will be continuous in color. If however, the new

paint does not match the repaired area’s color, the entire wall must be painted. Paint on a repaired area

must match the current paint color on the wall so as not to call attention to the repair. As our houses

age and repairs are needed, maintaining continuous paint color becomes essential to our youthful

appearance!

21.5 Roof Tiles

The roof tile is West Tile 011114-Mission Blend flashed-S type. The barrel trim is the semi-circular

piece at the ridge.

The original supplier, West Tile, went out of business. None of our tile is available through normal

retail channels. Two separate roofing companies recommended that the boneyard at Ralph Hays

Roofing was our only option for the original tile. Their website is: http://www.ralphhaysroofingaz.

net/contact-ralph-hays-roofing-tucson-az.htm.

Eagle Tile is a suitable match to our original West Tile. The barrel trim is a close match but the field tiles

are slightly wider. Eagle Tile is currently available from local vendors.


Many residents have had their roofing company carefully remove the roof tiles, complete roofing

repairs, and then replace the original tiles on the roof. If any tiles need to be replaced due to damage, the

ACC recommends taking original tiles from the back of the house to replace the damaged front tiles

and placing “replacement” tiles, substituting with as close a match as possible, on the back of the house.

This will allow the front roof to maintain tile continuity. Any slight mismatch would only be visible

from the back of the house.

21.6 Security Doors

Different types of security doors are available. No specific vendor is required. However, prior to

purchase, ACC approval is required. Before deciding, look at homes in our community for approved

colors and designs. Requests for approval must contain specifications including color, style, size of bars,

types of material, and a picture of what is to be installed.

21.7 Security Window Bars

This type of installation is discouraged as it erroneously conveys a crime problem within the community.

Requests for approval must contain specifications including color, style, size of bars, material, and a

picture of what is to be installed. ACC approval is required prior to purchase.

21.8 Windows

Recessed, black metal framed windows are the standard of this community. The original installer,

Geronimo, is out of business. Therefore, any vendor selected by the Homeowner that can meet the

community window requirements is accepted with prior approval by the ACC.

Windows with plinths (crossbars) must be maintained as originally placed. If the plinths should fall,

they must be repaired or replaced. When replacing windows the Homeowner may choose from the

following three styles that are already present throughout the community:

a. Window panes with plinths

b. Window panes without plinths

c. French window boxes

Window frames must be black metal. ACC approval for replacement of windows is required prior to

ordering/installation. A sample of the frame material and color, plus a diagram showing location of the

window(s) replacement(s) is required with the approval request submitted to the ACC.

Source: Any vendor the Homeowner selects that

meets the community window standard.
