SUMMARY OF EXHIBITS: Exhibit B-1 —Concept/Development Plan Ordinance 882 Page 12 of 12 Copyright © 2019 By Waterside Land Co, LLC SR SPENCER RANCH PROPOSED CONCEPT/DEVELOPMENT PLAN TOWN OF WESTLAKE MAY 2019 This document is intended to be a summary of the key development terms and principles proposed for the new PD of the Spencer Ranch development, an approximately 38-acre parcel of land located at the southeast corner of North Pearson Lane and Aspen Lane in Westlake Texas. The property extends eastward to the Vaquero golf course property and southward to the border of the City of Keller. Further, this document details how a single source deliver system will manage both the developing and the homebuilding entities ensuring exceptional and consistent quality from inception to completion. This allows a single entity to remain focused on complying with the various visions, aspects and intentions of the Westlake Comprehensive Plan. Ordinance 882 Page 2 of 32 SPENCER RANCH GENERAL INFORMATION UNIQUE DELIVERY SYSTEM A Single Company Manages both the Developing and the Home Building: Waterside Properties, LLC is a 30+ year Homebuilding company and will oversee all home construction in Spencer Ranch. The Waterside Family of Companies was founded March 19, 1984 in the State of Texas. The Company has been building homes for over 30 years. The development company was founded in 2017 to establish unique, high-value communities with a commitment to environmental ethics and social design that ultimately improve the inhabitants’ well-being. The Waterside Family of Companies has common ownership in the State of Texas. Waterside Land Co, LLC (www.watersidecompanies.com) Waterside Land Co, LLC is a boutique development arm of the Waterside family of companies and will oversee the land development of Spencer Ranch. Waterside Properties, LLC (www.watersidecompanies.com) Waterside has created a “UNIQUE DELIVERY SYSTEM” SINGLE SOURCE PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION: In order for Westlake to sustain resistance to assimilation by the encroaching fabric of surrounding communities, Westlake must develop a place for a project delivery system that is not the same as those surrounding communities. At present, the dominant delivery system is land development driven, wherein there is a Land Developer who sells buildable lots to a Home Builder who then brings in their own design services and their own resident client. As a result, there is a ”sameness” to the products created which are often hard to distinguish from the surrounding submarkets. Westlake needs a Single Source Project Implementation System (Company) that controls both the Lot Developer and the Home Building entities who will not only oversee developing the land…but…also, oversee the building of the houses on that land and thereby be in a position to create a truly unusual, lifestyle product that has exceptional and consistent quality. With “skin in the game” from the outset, there is an unusual motivation to maintain quality design and construction as the ultimate return for the community. The builder’s vision is the same as the developer’s vision and the ability to bring land development and home construction together in a distinguished way is more possible. Therefore, Waterside assures the Town that a single company “Waterside Properties, LLC.” is fully committed to directly oversee both aspects of this project (both land development company and the home building company) with the terms and conditions of that commitment, addressing unforeseen events, to be worked out in a development agreement with the Town. Ordinance 882 Page 3 of 32 UNIQUE COMMUNITY Waterside’s creation of Spencer Ranch is an extraordinarily unique high-quality community committed to the various visions, aspects and intentions of the Westlake Comprehensive Plan as outlined below. Spencer Ranch Community: Our goal is to bring a sense of place to new communities through a well thought-out “reverse design process,” using the natural fabric of the land and incorporating a wellness component that encourages best in class use of space. Hearkening back to centuries-old traditions of living on the land, we carefully study the terrain and craft landscape-appropriate homes that speak to the surrounding property. We follow a nonconformist method of designing and virtually building homes on the land before plotting streets, or placing the elements – lakes, creeks and pastoral swaths – ahead of development. This mindful approach interweaves the home design with the fabric of the land, blending indoors with outdoors for a more organic approach. The result is beautifully harmonious and healthy places in which to live and raise families. “Spencer Ranch as seen from Pearson Ln” Ordinance 882 Page 4 of 32 With over 30 years’ experience in fine homebuilding, we know how to see it before we see it and how to design and build quality. “We are creating a unique and healthy style of living in Spencer Ranch, with a level of quality amenities that is really unmatched anywhere and, that contains housing that, we feel, can be sustained for a hundred years,” says founder Paul Pastore. Waterside offers full Lock-N-Leave™ services through their sister company Waterside Home Maintenance Concierge (HMC), with on-site security and a maintenance team. The residence of Spencer Ranch will enjoy a well-conceived, rich in quality neighborhood that allows for a high-quality secure maintenance free living environment. “Spencer Ranch 38 Homesite Concept/Development Plan” Ordinance 882 Page 5 of 32 The property will be secured with various types of fencing along the perimeter and a secured gated entry and exit. This highly amenitized, healthy lifestyle community contains “multiple clusters” of housing, built around a central body of water. The community’s delivery of diversity of housing establishes a 3,000-square foot minimum home size, all with common core attributes of timeless architectural design coupled with high-quality, low-maintenance and energy-efficient homes that are finished out with best-in-class luxury-level interiors. The community is designed to encourage inhabitant interaction, promoting pedestrian mobility by bringing the homes and courtyards closer to the roadways, and by providing an internal aerobic trail and several large lakes that connect the open spaces and a tree preserve area. Spencer Ranch Summary May 2019 • Approximately 38 acres • 38 Clustered Homesites • Water Themed Community • Single Source Delivery System • 100% Compliance with Westlake Comp Plan • All Single Family Detached High Quality Homes • Approximately 50% Open Space • Approximately 3.0 Acres Dedicated to Permanent View Shed Corridor along Pearson Ln • 3 Lakes • Low Maintenance-Lock-N-Leave Community • High Security Gated Community Ordinance 882 Page 6 of 32 WESTLAKE COMP PLAN COMPLIANCE Waterside’s creation of Spencer Ranch is an extraordinarily unique high-quality community committed to the various visions, aspects and intentions of the Westlake Comprehensive Plan as outlined below. COMP PLAN Page 71 Waterside has created a development that will “LIMIT GRADING” “GRADING LIMITATIONS: Spencer Ranch is located in the “Midlands” Ecological Region of Westlake (Pg. 71 of the Comprehensive Plan). The Comp Plan requires measures be taken by any developer to limit impacts on the ground plane which promote erosion. This includes limitations on grading. Therefore, Waterside is committed to limitations on grading by allowing only that grading as is necessary to construct streets, infrastructure, development amenities, and individual home clusters. Waterside will prohibit the creation of lot pads and the use of side lot line retaining walls to create lot pads. Waterside will respect some exceptions where patios, drives, and pools are built that can be viewed as extensions of the home.” COMP PLAN Page 74 Waterside has created a development that will “RESTORE THE NATURAL MOSAIC” “RESTORATION OF THE NATURAL MOSAIC: Page 74 of the Comp Plan calls for “contextualization”. The Comp Plan states: “Contextualization, which grows from a commitment to landscape integrity is what helps to preserve the property values sustained in Westlake. It is therefore important that the plan creates mechanisms to continue the commitment to landscape integrity, not only to preserve the pastoral landscape of the Town, but to also preserve property values. In this sense, landscape integrity needs to guide the development-related considerations of the Comprehensive Plan.” Landscape Integrity is defined, in the same section, as “development that has been contextualized to fit within the natural landscape…” Therefore, Waterside will use the landscape opportunities presented by open space, defining clusters, to restore the natural mosaic in such a way that the Comp Plan’s call for “contextualization” is achieved. Therefore, Waterside will use the landscape opportunities presented by open space, defining development clusters, to restore the natural mosaic in such a way that the Comp Plan’s call for “contextualization” is achieved. This will require a considerable commitment to landscape materials and native species employed in a manner consistent with the Concept/Development Plan.” Ordinance 882 Page 7 of 32 COMP PLAN Page 83-88 Waterside has created a development that is a “WATER THEMED COMMUNITY” “WATER THEMED DEVELOPMENT: Page 83-88 of the Comprehensive Plan places the development tract in a steeper topographic setting (not the steepest) and recommends that this location is appropriate for “water related” development. Page 88 of the Comprehensive states that “additional measures other than density may be suitable for preservation of the hillside and viewshed”. Those other measures include limitations on grading (described above) and “water related” development that includes multiple water amenities. Therefore, Waterside is presenting a development design that employs water as a major component of the project…such water will be used to mitigate erosion and stabilize the grade condition. COMP PLAN Page 159 Waterside has created a “CLUSTERED” development “CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT: The Land Use Plan section of the Comp Plan (page 159) states that “smaller lots could be compatible with this character [district] if such lots are CLUSTERED AND SURROUNDED WITH OPEN SPACE…”. Waterside is presenting a “cluster development”, Concept/Development Plan in which the “clusters” are surrounded with open space. To accomplish this in a manner consistent with the other requirements of the Comp Plan, Waterside will use the water theme element as an aspect of the open space defining the required development clusters as illustrated on the Concept/Development Plan.” …However, smaller lot sizes could be compatible with this character in such lots as clustered and surrounded with open space so that the gross density remains one dwelling unit per acre. The sense of open land is more essential than lot size. The Pastoral Community is predominantly residential with some institutional uses and office campus uses where the FAR is 1:1 or less. Informal lot landscaping replaces rigid street landscaping, giving more visual presence to the natural ground plane than the roadway. Preservation of current home values is key to future residential development. Ordinance 882 Page 8 of 32 Waterside has created a development that contains an “EQUIVALENT LOT DENSITY” in conformance with the Westlake Comprehensive Plan. “DENSITY: Page 159 of the Comprehensive Plan states, "smaller lots could be compatible with this character district if such lots are clustered and surrounded with open space so that the gross density remains one dwelling unit per acre". The text immediately following that statement further states, "the sense of open land is more important than lot size". The second statement offers a qualifier to the application of the first statement, suggesting that density equivalent to 1 unit per gross acre is desirable...if...the sense of open land is enhanced. To accomplish this, Waterside has limited the plate square footage of development to a total square footage that does not exceed the "gross" plate square footage of development at 1 unit per acre. We call this an "Equivalent Density" which is expressed in a more open landscape, a landscape where open space dominates and the expression of lot lines in the form of property line fences is discouraged. This fulfills the vision of the Comprehensive Plan. The unifying matrix of open land that defines the cluster development of Waterside prevents confusion with densities more typical of other Character Districts. Therefore, Waterside commits to a density that is equivalent to the developed density of 1 unit per acre and a total number of lots not exceeding 1.0 lot(s) per acre; which Waterside views as necessary to achieve ALL other visions of the Comp Plan, as they are applicable to this site and specified in this application for Spencer Ranch.” Waterside has created a development that respects “OPEN LAND & UNINTERRUPTED GROUND PLANE” “OPEN LAND, UNINTERRUPTED GROUND PLANE, AND ELIMINATION OF OPAQUE FENCING (EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL PURPOSES): Page 159 of the Comp Plan states that “the sense of open land is more essential than lot size”. Also, it is an intent of the Pastoral Character District that “homes are sited in ways responsive to features of the lot, instead of the street.” Page 159 also states, “the overall character is one of a dominant landscape and houses arrayed within it”. Adding to this emphasis on land, page 202 of the Comp Plan states that “articulation of neighborhood edges can subdivide the ground plane with opaque walls and other hard division, which begin to suburbanize the rural landscape”. Later, on that same page it states, “open spaces are meant to be remnants of the historic rural landscape and serve as seams that bind the commercial and residential uses together…therefore, porous edges are more preferred than barrier edges”. It is clear that the Comp Plan seeks to preserve the sense of uninterrupted ground plane in the Pastoral Character District. Consequently, Waterside will provide means of defining edges (development and property fencing) that preserves the uninterrupted ground plane (as much as possible) in a way that remembers the historic rural fabric. Neighborhood definition will be transparent, not a solid barrier. Property fencing will be limited, with certain concessions to privacy needs, screening, and dog runs accommodated in ways that do not result in isolating the entire lot from the general ground plane as shown on the Concept/Development Plan.” Ordinance 882 Page 9 of 32 COMP PLAN Page 166 “CONCLUSION” This land use plan seeks to further the goals and aspirations for the citizens of Westlake as presented in the public planning workshops. Therefore, this land use plan builds upon the recognition that market conditions in 2014 are significantly different than market conditions in 1992 and that such change of condition will likely motivate owners of undeveloped property to seek augmentation of their current zoning ordinance. Therefore, this land use plan is meant to be a guide in discussions when considering such requests by seeking to identify pathways to a positive response that does not further burden the Town with additional traffic and/or facilities demand. COMP PLAN Page 193 Waterside has created a development that respects “PUBLIC OPEN SPACE & RURAL LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION” “PUBLIC OPEN SPACE/ RURAL LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION: Page 193 of the Comp Plan describes Rural Ranch Landscape (a type of Open Space recommended for the Pastoral Character Zone) as places “where residential development may move to preserve some aspect of the rural heritage”. In the Urban Design Structure portion of the Comp Plan states that “open space edges are meant to be remnants of the historic rural landscape…” Clearly, the Comp Plan is seeking to find opportunities for preservation of the rural heritage of Westlake in the creation of open space. Spencer Ranch contains a water feature that remains from earlier days (likely a ranch stock pond). Therefore, Waterside will take measures to include portions of this water body in a usable open space that can fulfill the Comp Plan call for rural landscape preservation.” COMP PLAN Page 267-279 “DIVERSIFICATION OF HOUSING” The Housing Plan component of the Comp Plan stresses the need for “life style” offerings to accompany housing options for other high-end markets. These projects, which diversify the housing offerings more typical of Westlake are needed to attract younger buyers, meet future housing needs of an aging population, and mitigate value encroachment. 1) Preservation of values 2) Diversify the higher-income market to attract young buyer 3) Meet the future housing needs of an aging population 4) Mitigate value encroachment Ordinance 882 Page 10 of 32 LANDSCAPING Spencer Ranch will approach the total landscaping effort as one cohesive and comprehensive unit for the entire tract of land. The landscaping design will incorporate the vision of the entire tract using all aspects of the terrain, thus creating the “natural mosaic” the town prefers. Although installed in individual increments as each home is completed, the Spencer Ranch vision is to create an overlay of a full and comprehensive landscape plan that embodies the entire parcel of land and raises the standards in Westlake and is not prejudice to any one dwelling. Landscaping will encompass many aspects for the development, conceptually and physically and will be implemented in phases; a. Park Land Dedication area-outside of the community fencing b. Development infrastructure/streets; c. Individual houses The master landscape plan will include the following elements: • The establishment of a “old Growth” tree preserve at the Fisher property boundary. Establishing open space and meadows using various types, sizes and species of trees and plant material. • Weaving natural features such as bald cypress trees in and around the water system providing a more natural bank and greater complexity at the edge definitions. • A genuine effort will be made to save and protect old-growth trees. • Care will be given to how the landscaping and streets interact giving careful attention to the development of “social space” as it relates to this aspect. • Tree Mitigation: Trees located in roadways, lakes and utility main locations as shown on the preliminary plat and civil construction plans are hereby exempt from the mitigation requirements of the Code of Ordinances. Landscape architect: TBD Ordinance 882 Page 11 of 32 UNIQUE AMENITIES Spencer Ranch Community Amenities: Spencer Ranch is located in a very unique setting, experiencing incredible sunsets, golf course view, lake side settings, serene high-quality lifestyle. Spencer Ranch has rolling topography, 38 High Quality homesites grouped in clusters surrounded by an abundance of open space and limited fencing. Spencer Ranch will have a well-positioned high quality “statement” gate house that does not yield to neighboring communities. “The Gate House at Spencer Ranch” The gate house/sales center will be constructed on the property in the general location as shown on the Concept/Development Plan, the building (above) will have the similar architecture as the homes in Spencer Ranch. Since the gate house/sales center is the key feature to the early progress of the development and it has direct access to utilities and Pearson Ln, the developer is requesting to be allowed to submit building plans and start construction of the gate house/sales center structure within 30 days of Town approval of the concept development plan and following the normal building permit application process. Ordinance 882 Page 12 of 32 Spencer Ranch has a single entity controlling the development and home building including complete landscaping and professional construction management before during and after completion of the entire project.

Decorative iron fencing with masonry columns and masonry wall sections strategically placed as determined appropriate to provide aesthetic accents, privacy, and/or shield undesirable vehicle light transmission as determined by the Developer’s Landscape Architect. “Fence Concepts and the entry Fountain at Spencer Ranch” Ordinance 882 Page 15 of 32 In addition to the above fence types, the following fence types are allowed at Spencer Ranch:  Existing fencing from neighboring properties  Iron fencing similar to existing fencing  Masonry fencing with finished consistent with the homes in the development Fences on individual lot property lines are generally discouraged, however they may be approved by the ARB in addition to the following: a. Dog runs b. Swimming pool safety c. Privacy for internal courtyards d. Screening from neighbors Gate Materials:  Wood with frame members measuring a minimum of 1.5 inches thick and infill planks measuring a minimum of 1.5 inches thick. • Iron gates with the frame measuring a minimum of 1.5 inches square with pickets of at least ¾ in. square with welded connections. Such fences may be made of solid stock or thick wall tubular steel (sufficient thickness to not burn through when welded but no thinner than 3/32 inch) with any finials or other decorative detailing being made of solid stock and welded to the fence construction. Ordinance 882 Page 16 of 32 SPENCER RANCH LAND USE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Open space: The Westlake Comprehensive Plan and future land use plan do not show any open-space requirements for the subject property. However, per the proposed Concept/Development Plan, Waterside is providing approximately 50% Open Space and dedicating the entire Pearson frontage (approx. 4.5 acres) for a permanent view corridor to the Town of Westlake (the numbers below are estimates only):  19.1 acres of total open space is being provided  11.5 acres of Private Open Space  3.0 acres of Public Open Space  4.6 acres of lakes  This dedication includes a privately maintained and publicly owned/accessible linear park along Pearson Lane, and a tree preserve area near the neighboring property on Aspen Lane.  This dedication also requires any houses that side to Pearson Ln be no closer than 120 feet from Pearson Ln. Parkland dedication: Parkland dedication is required based on 1-acre of parkland for every 30 residences for a total of 2.26 acres. The Concept/Development Plan shows approximately 4.5 acres to be dedicated with the platting of this property. The parkland will be privately maintained by the HOA but will be publicly accessible. Special Areas: Located at the Entrance to Spencer Ranch: Spencer Ranch will have a public parking lot for visitors wishing to visit the Town of Westlake Buck King historical site. Spencer Ranch will also have a Town Trail head tie in and build a walking tail at the Pearson Ln frontage of the Spencer Ranch limits. Ordinance 882 Page 17 of 32 Community Trails: Spencer Ranch will contain an internal trail system and connect with the public system at access-controlled locations. The trail system and the aerobic programs are being studied now by Waterside and will be submitted with the landscape plan. Public Art: Waterside has a strong desire to support the arts in Westlake and will commit the following to a Public Art Competition: a. A competition site of a size to be determined, to place the art at Spencer Ranch in the Public Open Space b. A donation by Waterside of an amount to be determined will be outlined in the Economic Development Agreement. Ordinance 882 Page 18 of 32 STREETS, PARKING, SIDEWALKS AND TRAILS Streets: All community streets will be privately owned and maintained. They will be constructed with mountable rolling curbs with enhanced finish locations as shown on the Concept / Development plan. Homes in Spencer Ranch will use the same material for all driveways as the street enhancement materials. Streetlights: Streetlights will be located at corners and intersections. Light fixtures will be low- pedestal-type fixtures that comply with Town ordinances and dark-sky design guidelines. Ordinance 882 Page 19 of 32 Sidewalks: There are no typical concrete sidewalks in the development, walking trails (natural material) will be located throughout the development and will be indicated by the Landscape Architect on the landscaping plans to be submitted to the Town. Trail systems: An internal trail system and or streets will facilitate pedestrian mobility within the community. The public trail system will be extended from Aspen Lane south to the Town border on the Spencer Ranch property and be built to be consistent in size and materials with the Town’s trail from Aspen to Dove Rd. Water: Town of Westlake water system will connect to the development at two separate locations to create a looped-system. Sewer: The project engineer has met with town staff and performed the necessary calculations to determine that the public water and sewer systems can accommodate the additional loads anticipated to be generated by the proposed development and there are multiple access points available for connection to the public systems. Storm-water: Combination of natural grassed swales, detention ponds, and reflecting pools, connecting to the existing public street storm-water system. Duct bank: As required by Town ordinances, the developer will install a duct bank system throughout the subdivision. Each home will be connected to the duct bank system prior to the Certificate of Occupancy approval. Ordinance 882 Page 20 of 32 LOT SPECIFICATIONS Density & Lot Size: Spencer Ranch will be a unique community of high-quality housing on smaller maintenance free lots: • 38 uniquely clustered home sites The Developer/Builder are requesting the flexibility to adjust lot lines as home building permits are submitted allowing homes to be custom tailored to each site. Housing type, size, number of floors and the homeowner’s desire for larger or smaller footprints will impact lot size and configuration, and ultimately the total number of lots to be built upon. Minimum Lot Widths at Building Line: All Home sites 70 feet HOME / LOT SPECIFICATIONS Spencer Ranch may contain both one and two-story homes Spencer Ranch contain ALL single family detached housing Home Pricing: The diversity of housing orchestrated in “Cluster Zones” are projected to have an initial sales price starting at $1,895,000.00 The preeminent mission of the Westlake Comprehensive Plan is the preservation of values in Westlake. Being located in the Midlands Pastoral region of Westlake and in a submarket that sits on the edge of the Westlake Town limits, Spencer Ranch creates a high value and distinct entry point and a clear separation from surrounding markets. Spencer Ranch fills a void in the Westlake housing market with its high value product mix and will establish a barrier to prevent value degradation moving into Westlake from lower price point markets. NEW HOME DEMAND SUMMARY: Starting on Page 271 of the Comprehensive Plan through Page 275 clearly details the objectives for developers and builders to follow to satisfy the future needs in Westlake. Ordinance 882 Page 21 of 32 “Spencer Ranch Estate housing averaging 5,000 square feet” “Spencer Ranch Villa Housing averaging 4,000 square feet” Ordinance 882 Page 22 of 32 Housing Type: Spencer Ranch will have multiple housing offerings that can ranges in size as follows: • South Side Villas o from 3,500 sqft • Parkway Estates o from 4,000 sqft • Golf Course Villas o from 5,000 sqft • Ridge View Estates o from 5,000 • Meadows Villas o From 4,500 sqft The following is a guideline for the proposed housing types in the development. Given the desire for lot size flexibility to accommodate buyers desires we have listed the specific information below regarding lot and housing types, final details are yet to be determined. 1. All single-family homes (except the Golf Villas below) a. Housing Type: Single Family Detached b. Minimum Lot Size: 1,000 square feet c. Minimum Lot Width at Building Line: 70 feet d. Front Setback: 10 feet; or 5 feet (2) where courtyards/motor courts are provided e. Side Setbacks: 0 feet f. Rear Setback: 40 feet, or 0 feet abutting water features and/or open space. g. Minimum Unit Size: 3,000 square feet h. Maximum Height: 35 feet from finished floor to the mid-point of the span of the highest roof pitch. Ordinance 882 Page 23 of 32 2. Golf Course Villas Housing Type: Single Family Detached a. Minimum Lot Size: 1,000 square feet b. Minimum Lot Width at Building Line: 70 feet c. Front Setback: 10 feet; or 5 feet (2) for side facing garages, courtyards and accessory structures not utilized for storage. d. Side Setbacks: 0 feet e. Rear Setback: 40 feet f. Minimum Unit Size: 3,000 square feet g. Maximum Height: Per diagram below: “Spencer Ranch Golf Villa Housing averaging 5,000 square feet” (viewed from the Vaquero Golf Course) Waterside and Vaquero Club are working together on common border landscaping. Ordinance 882 Page 24 of 32 Building Setbacks (in feet): Front Rear (1) Sides (1) All single-family 10 (2) 25 (3) (4) 0 (1) When backing or siding to Aspen Lane, there shall be a 40-foot minimum setback. (2) Garages, Casitas or bathrooms, stairs or elevators -not contiguous to the main living footage, courtyards, and accessory structures may encroach up to 5 feet into the required front yard setback. (3) When abutting an open space or water feature, no setback is required. (4) When backing to Vaquero Golf Course setback should follow the diagram below including a maximum total building height: “Golf Villa Height Diagram” Ordinance 882 Page 25 of 32 Spencer Ranch Development Setbacks (in feet from property line): Setbacks are applicable to the main structure of any home built in Spencer Ranch: Pearson Ln (west) 120 feet Aspen Ln (north) 40 feet Vaquero (east) 40 feet South (south) 40 feet Ordinance 882 Page 26 of 32 Housing: Minimum Size: The minimum size of a residence shall be 3,000 square feet. Massing: Massing will vary by housing type. Great attention will be given to achieving horizontal and vertical articulation within individual structures and/or within groups of structures, so as to avoid the uniform massing and alignment found in typical suburban subdivisions. Building Height: Because of the potential for lower-pitched roofs with the chosen architectural style, smaller footprints of clustered homes, and respecting the natural terrain in the development with terrain absorption within the foundations of each house, we are requesting a maximum building height be measured from the top of the foundation for all building sites and as indicated for each home type in the development as outlined in this document. This allows the architectural aspect to create a rolling fabric of houses not restricted to the typical cookie-cutter guidelines. Garages/Parking: All homes shall have a minimum of FOUR spaces for off street auto parking in any configuration but must have a minimum of TWO enclosed parking spaces and TWO additional off-street parking spaces. Garage doors shall be made of sectional wood or be wood clad. Garage doors shall be recessed a minimum of (8) eight inches (nominal) from the plane of the adjacent wall. Front facing garage doors are allowed if located further back on the lot than the side-facing garage portion and are in a motor court setting. Roofs: Roofing materials facing the weather shall be of high and enduring quality. Permitted roof materials include: a. High quality clay or concrete tile (with a thickness similar to clay). (Acceptable styles and colors to be detailed in the Spencer Ranch Design Guidelines document) b. Metal: Traditional standing seam with standing folded and soldered seams. Allowed for porches and architectural features only. (Acceptable styles and colors to be detailed in the Spencer Ranch Design Guidelines document) c. Flat or low-pitched roofing that is 2:12 pitch or less may be of any code approved material. Ordinance 882 Page 27 of 32 Windows: Orientation of all windows at Spencer Ranch will follow the Town’s Building Quality Manual section; Standard 3.10: Openings. Spencer Ranch will allow the following windows and doors providing they are of high quality and comply with the Spencer Ranch Building Guidelines: a. High quality wood windows and doors with metal clad exteriors and minimum glazing with Cardinal 366 insulated glass or equal. b. High quality iron windows and doors and minimum glazing with Cardinal 366 insulated glass or equal. Exterior walls: Exterior walls shall be 80 percent masonry as required for all Residential Districts by the Code of Ordinances. Exterior walls shall have horizontal and vertical articulation or architectural delineation on all elevations. Exterior lighting: All exterior lighting shall be subdued, indirect and comply with town ordinances, as well as follow “dark-sky” design guidelines. Ordinance 882 Page 28 of 32 QUALITY CONSTRUCTION INTENT The intent of Waterside’s submittal, to create a community of clustered high- quality homes on smaller low-maintenance lots, to provide the “diversity of housing types” that the Comprehensive Plan states is needed within the Town of Westlake. This new proposed PD District will contain development standards that are intended to guide design and construction of the high-quality homes within the new PD District to be equal to or exceed the current level of quality of construction and finish-out as that found in the best of the larger estate homes that currently exist in the Town of Westlake. This new PD contains language that references: • An Architectural Review Board (ARB) • Spencer Ranch Building Guidelines • Town of Westlake Building Quality Manual It is the intent of this new PD to use these documents, as approved by the Town. The ARB shall assure compliance with all architectural standards and may not change the documents so as to cause a change in permittable architectural style without the Town Managers prior approval. The ARB shall approve all plan submittals prior to them being submitted to the Town for permitting. The Town still has authority to enforce Town of Westlake ordinances and the Building Quality Manual. Waterside has created a development that incorporates the Town’s “BUILDING QUALITY MANUAL” “INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN’S BUILDING QUALITY MANUAL: The Town has, in no uncertain terms, made a statement as to its expectations for the future quality of its built fabric in the recently adopted Building Quality Manual. Therefore, Waterside will adopt Westlake’s Building Quality manual as part of the Spencer Ranch Design Guidelines.” Ordinance 882 Page 29 of 32 COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION & DESIGN CONTROL Homeowners Association: The community will be governed by a to-be-established Homeowners Association (HOA) that will be responsible for the common area maintenance, private street maintenance, and enforcing the design guidelines for the community. Design Guidelines: A detailed design guideline document is being prepared specifically for Spencer Ranch. The Spencer Ranch design guideline document will clearly detail design and building guidelines specific to Spencer Ranch and will also -incorporate the Town of Westlake’s Building Quality Manual into its architectural standards. Design enforcement will be performed by the ARB which will include a licensed Architect as a required member. The Town will assure compliance with the all Town Ordinances. Architectural Design: At Spencer Ranch, The Developer/Builder will employ 360-degree architecture when designing each residential product within the development. The open/urban beauty of the development drives this design and building practice. In this practice, full consideration is given to every building elevation and every roof plane of each structure during the design process. The intent is to ensure delivery of aesthetically pleasing architectural features as viewed from all parts of the development, and not create a distinct and determinable hierarchy between major and minor elevations. Waterside will reduce the visual impact of all exterior mechanical elements. Spencer Ranch requires all building plans submitted be done by a Licensed Architect. Architectural Review: An Architectural Review Board (ARB) will be established through the HOA/declarant that has approval authority over the house quality of design and construction of all homes and additions. The ARB will be charged to ensure that the Building Guidelines of Spencer Ranch and the included Westlake Building Quality Manual provisions, are strictly followed. The Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions will establish the required makeup of the ARB which will include a licensed Architect as a required member. Ordinance 882 Page 30 of 32 Waterside has created a development that requires “LICENSED ARCHITECTS” “LICENSED ARCHITECT PROVISION OF PLANS THAT INCLUDE EXTERIOR DETAILS NECESSARY TO EXPLAIN ALL FEATURES OF CONSTRUCTION TO THE BUILDING TRADES: Much of the home designs built in Westlake, Southlake, Trophy Club, and Keller are done by “Building Designers” instead of a Licensed Architect. The plan sets produced by this means of production are very basic, leaving much of what is finally seen from the street, in the hands of a tradesman who may, or may not, have sufficient background to execute an outcome consistent with the design intent or the particular style represented by the “designer’s” drawings. Continued over time, this will ultimately weaken the distinctiveness of Westlake. Therefore, Waterside commits to have all building plans prepared by a Licensed Architect and that plan sets prepared by this architect will contain sufficient details to fully explain the exterior construction to a competent contractor/tradesperson.” Waterside has contracted with C.A. Nelson Architecture Group to serve as the sole licensed architect for the entire project. Clay Nelson (Principal) will also serve on the ARB. Ordinance 882 Page 31 of 32 LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY WITH MAINTENANCE FREE LIVING Waterside Home Maintenance Concierge provides a “World Class” level of service to its clients that is not offered in the marketplace. We strive to exceed all expectations of a Concierge Maintenance service by preprogramming maintenance and anticipating our client’s needs. Waterside’s Home Maintenance Concierge Service will provide its full complement of services to the Spencer Ranch community and manage all aspects for the community services with it’s on site personnel. The service creates “One Point of Contact” for our clients and provides them with a trusted advisor so they can live a maintenance free lifestyle! Waterside also offers our exclusive Lock – N – Leave service creating worry free travel! The service platform that Waterside HMC offers to its clients include some of the following: • Fully managed property maintenance services • Lock-N-Leave service year round • Quarterly 110point maintenance checks • Monthly 20point maintenance checks • 24/7 Emergency Service Response • Single point of contact • Preventative maintenance service and checks on all equipment • Complete supervision of any additional work completed at the house • Additional Boutique services available (window cleaning, power washing, etc...) • Vetted Preferred Contractor used for any and all work • Quality craftsmanship and industry knowledge Ordinance 882 Page 32 of 32 CONSTRUCTION SITE MANAGEMENT Debris: All construction debris from all construction sites within the development will be contained in a central location. The location will be enclosed with temporary wood fencing, or chain-link fencing with screening material attached, as to not be directly visible from any street. Contractors will be required to contain debris daily and/or transport to the containment site. Soil: All construction spoils or natural soil moved from all construction sites within the development will be stored in a designated location(s) that will be enclosed by proper silt fencing and/or other erosion control measures as needed. Documentation: All town and construction documentation, including but not limited to building permits, inspection reports, geotechnical studies and building plans, will be located on-site in the construction offices of the developer/builder with full access granted to town building officials. Sanitary Stations: Multiple sanitary stations (port-o-let) will be located within the community in close proximity to all construction sites. The stations will be screened from the street frontage, either behind a 6-foot-high screening fence or with temporary mock-ups built from materials similar to the materials used in the construction of the homes. The mock-ups will contain three walls and a roof section hiding the stations from the street view. Sanitary stations will be cleaned on a regular schedule. Material Storage: Material storage will be located within a designated area(s) that will be screened with fencing TBD. Construction Parking: Contractors will be allowed to park only in designated parking areas and on a single side of the roadway near the construction site, but not adjacent to any occupied dwellings. Contractors will be required to park in designated parking areas only for weekend work after residents occupy the development. end Ordinance 882 Star-Telegram MEDIA Arlington Citizen-Journal I The Keller Citizen I La Estrella Mansfield News-Mirror I Star-Telegram Northeast I Weatherford Star-Telegram star-telegram.com 1808 Throckmorton St.I Ft Worth,Tx.76102-6315 AFFIDAVIT OF PUBLICATION Account# Ad Number Identification PO Amount Cols Depth 603646 0004227491 TOWN OF WESTLAKE ORDINANCE NO.882 A) ORDINANCE NO.882 $536.16 1 43.00 Li Attention: Kelly Edwards.
