2 Architectural Control Committee Guidelines Declarations for Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Chips Crossing Subdivision Book2009/Page0482/Article V/Architectural Control Buildings, fences, walls or other structures shall not be commenced, erected or maintained upon the Property, nor shall any exterior addition, modification, change, or alteration therein be made until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, and location of such building, fence, wall, or other structure shall have been submitted to and approved in writing as to the harmony and conformity with the exterior design and location of surrounding structures and topography by the Board of Directors of the Association, or by an Architectural Control Committee composed of three (3) or more representatives appointed by the Board of Directors of the Association. Do not begin construction until the committee has approved plans in writing. When submitting plans you must include the following: Name Address Phone number (please list day and evening contact information) Date of Submittal Please place the request in the M&R Box at the mail center and/or you can mail it to: Chips Crossing Homeowner Association 8400 Norway Street Knoxville, TN Once received, someone from the committee will notify you that it has been received. Any changes to the initial request will need to be resubmitted in writing for approval. All exterior finishes shall match existing structure in shape, color and texture. The homeowner shall obtain all necessary permits. All trash and construction debris shall be cleaned up daily. The Homeowners Association will not be responsible for maintenance and care of any addition. The Homeowners Association will not be responsible for any damage that occurs due to a satellite dish being installed. This includes any siding or structure that is drilled through or attached to. Specific satellite dish guidelines are attached and must be followed.

3 The Homeowners Association will not mow inside fenced areas. All disturbed areas shall be repaired when construction is complete. There can be no change in end of building units (no extra windows, etc.) Written permission must be obtained from your neighbor if you attach to their wall. All fencing must be of the same height (6 feet) and material as others in the complex. Construction must be completed within a reasonable time frame. The Architectural Committee has 30 days upon receipt of your request to respond to your submittal. Dimensions are not necessary; however, all structures and fences must not extend beyond the homeowner's property line. It is the homeowner's responsibility to ensure that this does not occur. Homeowners need to be aware of and research their property line and any easements - CCHOA does not provide this information). Homeowners who build additions without obtaining approval of the Architectural Committee are taking a risk. They may be sued now or in the future by the Homeowners' Association or an individual home owner and forced by the Court to tear down the structure.

4 Instructions for Designing your New Fence or Building Structure 1) Use a dashed line for the proposed fence. 2) Use a solid line for the existing concrete. 3) Illustrate the heat pump with a square. 4) Illustrate the gas meter with a circle. 5) Illustrate the gate with two small lines as shown in the example. 6) Use a solid line for any other building structures use a solid line and label accordingly. 7) Dimensions are not necessary; however, structures and fences must not extend past the homeowner's property line and it is the homeowner's responsibility to ensure that this does not occur. 8) Attach your drawing with your submittal (including name, address, and contact phone numbers.)

5 To: From: ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES UPDATE All Homeowners Chips Crossing Homeowners Association Board of Directors Date: July, 2009 Re: Satellite Dish Installation Many homeowners have elected to install satellite dishes on their units. Many have neglected to obtain approval by the board for such installations. This is in violation of Article VIII, Section 4 of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions. As we continue to replace our roofs in the neighborhood, we feel it is important to clarify some things with the policy on satellite dish installation. 1) A written request must be turned into the board and approval granted from the board prior to any satellite being installed. Requests may be placed in the M&R box at the mail center or mailed to: CCHOA, 8400 Norway Street, Knoxville, TN The Board has thirty (30) days to respond to the request. 2) No satellite dishes are allowed to be visible from the street. They must be installed on the posterior of the property only. 3) Any damage to siding, roofing or any part of the unit that is a direct result of satellite installation will be the responsibility of the homeowner. CCHOA will not cover the cost of these repairs, regardless of who installed the satellite, i.e. previous homeowner. (See Article VII of Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions regarding willful neglect). 4) Under no circumstances should a satellite dish be installed through the roof of any unit. All roof mounts are prohibited in all cases. 5) Homeowners may request a pole mount vs. siding mount. ROOF MOUNTS ARE PROHIBITED. 6) Any unit that currently has a satellite dish installed as a roof mount that has not had a roof replacement will require action of the homeowner when the roof is replaced. The homeowner will receive a request to have the satellite removed when their roof is replaced with strict instructions that it cannot be reinstalled through the new roof. Again, any and all roof mounts are prohibited. 7) Any unit that has a received a roof replacement and is found to have a satellite installed via roof mount will be required to have it removed at once at the homeowner s expense and the homeowner will be responsible for the repair to the new roof. Installing a satellite dish without the prior approval of the board may result in the immediate removal of the satellite dish at the homeowner s expense until the proper process is followed under the Architectural Guidelines. cc: All Homeowners * NEWSLETTER 8/2009
