1. Antennas
a.) The antenna should be placed below the roof line and concealed from public view as much as possible:
Peaked roofs - top of antenna must go below ridge line.
Flat roofs with parapets - top of antenna must be below top of parapet.
Flat roof - no parapet - antenna flat on roof.
b.) Antenna should be placed on
back of house, unless otherwise approved by the Committee.
c.) Small size antennas are encouraged.
d.) If house has an attic, antenna should be placed there. If so, then no
application is needed.
e.) Ground mounting of antenna is encouraged where it can be screened from
public view.
f.) A radio antenna which extends above the roof line at its lowest point or
above the top of a parapet wall or fascia which extends above a flat roof, will
not be approved unless the use of such equipment is for public safety and
welfare.
2. Air Conditioning Equipment
a.) As a general rule, all air
conditioning units must be installed on the ground or sidewall mounted at or
near ground level.
b.) Roof or sidewall mounted equipment must be designed as an integral part of,
or integrated architecturally with, the design of the structure, or concealed on
all exposed sides by material matching the existing building architecture, all
according to plans approved by the Committee.
c.) Air conditioning and evaporative cooling equipment will have a maximum
height of 7'6" when side mounted or above an air conditioner.

a.) Prior application must be
made to the Committee of Architecture for all such installations. Said
applications shall include appropriate drawings or sketches sufficient for
members of the Committee to make proper judgment.
b.) Parabolic accumulators (reflectors) and other reflective materials
including storage tanks and other components should be architecturally concealed
from public view.
c.) Non-reflective collectors mounted on flat roofs should not extend
above the front parapet as measured on a horizontal plane at parapet top.
If the collectors or other components are visible to the public, appropriate
screening as approved by the Committee should be used to obscure them.
d.) Non-reflective collectors on pitched roofs should be parallel and square
with the roof, and the bottom of the collector shall not be more than 4' above
the roof surface. The window to the collector should be non-reflective
e.) All other installations should be ground mounted and aesthetically screened
from public view by fencing or landscape.
