<br /> No site preparation (including, but not limited to, grading, elevation work, landscaping,
<br />sloping, or tree work) or initial construction, erection, or installation of any improvements,
<br />including, but not limited to, buildings, driveways, fences, signs, walls, retaining walls, screens,
<br />landscaping, plantings, play areas, and play equipment or other equipment, furniture, or
<br />structures will be commenced, erected, placed, altered, removed, repaired, or maintained upon
<br />the Property or any Lot, nor will any addition to, change, or alteration therein be made by any
<br />Owner, other than Declarant, until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape,
<br />height, materials, exterior colors, siding, location, and elevations of the proposed improvements
<br />or landscaping have been approved in writing by the ARB. A submission will be deemed to have
<br />been approved if the ARB fails to act on the submission within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
<br />complete set of plans and specifications.
<br />Upon request, the ARB will provide any Owner with a letter stating that any such work
<br />plans and specifications have been approved and the same may be relied upon by third parties.
<br />Refusal of approval of such plans, location, or specifications may be based upon any
<br />grounds, including purely aesthetic and environmental, that the ARB, in its sole discretion,
<br />deems sufficient. The ARB will not be responsible for any defects in the plans and specifications
<br />submitted to it or in any structure erected according to such plans and specifications.
<br />The ARB or its appointed agents, will have the right, at its election, but will not be
<br />required, to enter upon any of the Property during site preparation or construction, erection, or
<br />installation of improvements to inspect the work being undertaken and to determine that the
<br />work is being performed in conformity with the approved plans and specifications and in a good
<br />and workmanlike manner, utilizing approved methods and good quality materials.
