Updated July 2014

Updated July 2014 Page 1 of 35

Contents How to use ‘Patterns for Paradise’ (PFP) This pattern book is presented as a tool to cultivate a complete understanding of the Paradise Key vision and to guide one through the design and construction of your home. It is our hope that this guide will contribute to both the fulfillment of our intentions and your own dreams. In addition to some detailed text and illustrations, you will find photographs throughout this document which exemplify highly desirable, prototypical executions of the style objective for this special place. We hope that you find this guide interesting, informative, and easy to use. It has been developed into sections as follows:

Section 1: Design and Building Guidelines Addresses the planning, architecture, and landscape issues critical to the design of your home. You and your architect should refer to this section for general design principles and specific requirements. Section 2: Page 28 Design Review Administration Establishes the submission requirements necessary for review and approval of a design before construction can start. Section 3: Page 31 Design Professional and Builder Standards Outlines approval requirements for all design professionals and builders and establishes the requirements and responsibilities of the homeowner and contractor during the construction phase of the project.


Section 1: Design & Building Guidelines DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

The region from Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach south through the Jacksonville Beaches and down to St. Augustine is often referred to as the First Coast. This name stems from a rich history of conquest, trade, politics, maritime commerce and raw natural beauty the area shares. The charm of the area is what has inspired the natural aesthetic of the architecture at Paradise Key. This architecture can be referred to as Coastal Vernacular. However, this style is derived from the organic nature of the area. The intent of this architecture is to have honest simplicity in its form and detailing, resulting in a beautiful integrity unique to your home. The use of ornamentation should be limited to well-crafted details and features that are functional and material based. This fundamental response to the elements can be achieved through the proper application of this Pattern Book – Patterns for Paradise (PFP).

The origins of these details are rooted in the need for shade, ventilation, shelter from the elements and for life’s activities. It is no accident that many of these coastal communities are full of cottages that enjoy the use of these important features and details. The qualities of living in these communities are a combination of relaxed leisure and outdoor activities. Such attributes range from afternoon naps on the porch, quiet strolls through the neighborhood to generous sunshine, cooling ocean breezes, afternoon rain showers and star lit evenings.

The architectural features that best address these natural conditions are:

Porches for leisure and living

Significant roof overhangs for shade and rain protection

Well-organized rooms and high ceilings to allow for cross ventilation

Observation decks to assess the weather conditions, sunbathe or view a full moon

Architectural details that have developed through the years have been in response to local materials, craftsmanship, and the community’s origins. Such details typically found in these coastal communities are:

Bracketed or deep roof eaves/ overhangs

Porches with or without screens

Porch columns and handrails with restrained, less elaborate and muted details

Simple eave details

Shutters that provide shade and or protection from the elements

Windows for ventilation and screening of insects

Weather vanes to assist in the assessment of changing weather conditions.


These details were often if not always executed with local materials and craftsman. Such materials and their combinations were derived from resources naturally available in the region:

Horizontal wood siding

Stucco

Wood board and batten

Select stucco and brick on chimney or foundation material

Metal roofs

Wood windows (which add depth, dimension and detail)

The following guidelines will elaborate on the application of these features, details and materials. The map on the next page shows the neighborhood pattern and identifies each lot by a Typology. The specific planning guidelines for each typology will be discussed later.


Site Planning

The building envelope illustrations that follow graphically represent the placement of buildings and driveways for lot types A through G. Where lots vary from the illustrations due to special factors, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) will establish setbacks on these lots in consultation with the owners and/or their architect during the initial review stage. SETBACK CRITERIA Structures including all buildings, outbuildings, porches, pergolas, trellises, kiosks, chimneys, and railings may not encroach beyond the setback lines specified for each particular lot. Porch steps may encroach into any setback zone up to 32” above grade subject to approval by Jacksonville Beach building department. Any steps higher than 32” must be within the setback. General setback requirements shall be as follows:

Front Setback: Minimum front setback is 10’ for structures not including the garage

Side Setback: total combined of 15’ with a minimum of 5’ on one side for interior lot line and minimum 10’ for side street lot line; detached

garages shall be minimum 5’ from side lot line on the non-entry side. If unsupported from below (except by a non-vertical brace), second and third floor structures may cantilever over the side setback line but not closer than 5’ to the side property line.

Rear Setback: 20’ for principle structure; Garages may be setback 5’ from the rear lot line on the sidewall; accessory structures and outbuildings may be setback 5’ from the rear lot line.

Garages: At a minimum, all garages must have 20’ distance from their front door side to provide for the uninterrupted parking of a vehicle without crossing a property line. Garages where allowed shall be setback 15’ from the front face of the house not including the porch.

Pools: Setbacks shall be 5’ from side and rear property lines and 20’ from front property line. See the City of Jacksonville Beach for more information on pool setbacks.

Garage Alley Setbacks: Garages shall have setbacks as defined above but on alleys the 5’ side and 20’ rear setback shall be measured from the edge of the alley pavement or curb. Owners must be aware that vehicles must be parked so that they do not interfere with the alleyway. Primary structures shall also be measured from the edge of pavement.

HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS The intention of height restrictions is to encourage a massing of buildings that will minimize the visual impact of Paradise Key upon the surrounding environment. All building height limits are measured from the crown of the road to the mid-point of the highest roof and shall exclude chimneys, weathervanes, and other similar decorative elements. General height requirements shall be as follows:

Maximum building height for the house shall be 42 feet (see exceptions)

Maximum building height for a detached garage or other accessory structures shall be 22 feet (see exceptions)


Garage is considered “detached” even if it is connected to residence with breezeway.

Exceptions: Certain lots within Paradise Key have a lower roof height requirement for the main house of 35’ and for any garage or accessory structures of 15’ and include Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 43, 44, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, and 62.

FINISH FLOOR ELEVATIONS All homes in Paradise Key will be required by county and federal flood regulations to be elevated at least one foot above the base flood elevation. The minimum floor level shall be dictated by the provisions of the FEMA flood maps for Jacksonville Beach. Notwithstanding the flood elevations and in keeping with the coastal vernacular tradition of having houses elevated off the ground, the first floor of all houses in Paradise Key are encouraged to be between 32-36” above the crown of the road. The first floor shall be a minimum of 28” above the crown of the road measured at the center of house. The floor elevation shall be set to achieve the minimum porch elevation as outlined next. Porches are encouraged to be at least 28-32” above the crown of the road but shall be no less than 24” above the crown of the road. In all cases however

the front entry porch shall be a minimum of 24” above the finish grade at the center of the porch. Houses in Paradise Key may be elevated for living spaces and entry on the 2nd floor. In such designs parking may be allowed below but the requirements for garages outlined elsewhere must be met. All open areas below the elevated living spaces must be screened with elements in keeping with the style and character of the house. Screening may include lattice (see other sections for minimum specs), louvers, or other screen types as approved by the ARC. Walls may be clad in materials as outlined in other sections for walls. AREA REQUIREMENTS All homes in Paradise Key shall have a minimum size of 1800 square feet of conditioned space. Maximum floor area of the garage or first floor of an accessory structure shall be 816sf. The 2nd floor over a garage or accessory structure may not exceed 85% of the 1st floor area. Maximum 3rd floor areas shall not exceed 10% of the conditioned space below or a maximum of 400 sf whichever is less.

MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE The maximum lot coverage for Paradise Key is calculated using the actual area of the lot plus a portion of the common area in the neighborhood. The maximum lot coverage area shall be 49% of the combined total of the lot area plus an additional 3,372 sf of P.U.D. allocated area. This will generally allow roughly a 60-65% actual coverage on the lot. Impermeable area shall include buildings, garage, driveway, sidewalks, etc., with mathematical consideration given to alternate permeable material usage. See the PUD Chart for each lot calculation.


Elements of Composition The elements of composition and the architectural design throughout Paradise Key are based upon simple wood-frame construction of the “First Coast Beach Vernacular”. FOUNDATIONS Foundations may be constructed of off-grade wood frame construction on reinforced masonry walls or a stem wall with a slab. All foundations must be designed to meet the minimum height requirements as previously outlined. Stem Wall with Slab Construction: If the 1st floor is constructed using a stem wall and slab, the foundation walls shall be clad in stucco, brick or other ARC approved material. Off-Grade Floor Construction: If the foundation is off-grade construction it will be comprised of two key components: 1) foundation walls and/or piers for support; and 2) beams and joists for the floor. The piers will be clad in stucco, brick or other ARC approved material. Screening between piers is required and can be achieved with vertical or horizontal wood boards, lattice, open brick pattern, or an approved material. If lattice is used

all slats must have a minimum dimension of ¾” thick and 1 ½” width. Porches: All porches facing the primary and secondary streets are encouraged to be constructed on piers with off grade wood framing or to appear as if they are to recreate the traditional porch look. Piers shall be clad with stucco, brick or other ARC approved material. Rear porches may be constructed with stem walls and they shall be clad as outlined for the house stem wall and slab construction requirements. WALLS Exterior walls may be constructed of 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing or reinforced masonry construction covered in an approved siding material. Acceptable siding materials include pressure treated pine, cedar, cypress, and fiber-cement vertical or horizontal siding (smooth face only). Shakes or

shingles may be of similar materials including synthetic options that are more resistant to salt air. Stucco is permitted on foundation walls, first floor walls and chimneys but in no case can the exterior wall surfaces of stucco exceed 65% of the wall area. Brick is also permitted but must be painted and may not exceed 50% of the wall area of the house. The simple use or combination of the siding materials will allow for a number of appropriate and unique designs to occur.


WINDOWS, DOORS, SHUTTERS Wood frame windows are preferred, as are the use of French doors in combination with windows. They should be carefully proportioned to enhance the exterior appearance and interior light quality. Vinyl or aluminum clad wood windows will be permitted, subject to color and frame/sash profile approval. Lightly tinted glass is acceptable for windows and doors, but foil or reflective materials are not allowed. Muntins in windows are typical in the style of homes anticipated in Paradise Key and are encouraged. Styles may include numerous options if in keeping with the style of the house such as 2 over 2, 6 over 6, 2 over 1, etc. True divided lights are encouraged however all muntins must provide a “simulated divided light” appearance and include an exterior and interior grill. The exterior grill profile is subject to approval by the ARC and flat applied bars are not permitted.

Glass block windows are not permitted in Paradise Key. Window sash and shutters are typically painted an accent color that complements the color of the main body of the house. All color selections are subject to the approval of the ARC. Front doors should make a strong architectural statement. Wood or glass exterior doors are recommended and

doors less than 7’ in height must have a transom above. The use of double front entry doors, or doors enhanced by side and/or transom panels are encouraged. (Note: All front doors shall be selected in a style that is appropriate for the style of the home. For example: a Craftsman style door will not be permitted on a Cottage style house.)


Sliding patio doors are not permitted where they are visible from the street or used as a front entrance and all sliding doors must have panels with stiles and rails that mimic French Doors. Window shutters such as louvered, bevel board and panel style are permitted. Louvered shutters may be side hinged or tilt from the top to swing open (also known as Bahama or Bermuda shutters). All shutters must be operable, sized to fit the window, and be of painted wood or pre-approved authentic looking material. Prefinished aluminum shutters may be permitted if the profile matches a typical wood shutter. The use of molded hollow back shutters is not permitted. Roof over-hangs, awnings and shutters are appropriate sun screening devices that will require approval of design, materials and colors.

ROOFS Roof materials are to be metal and can be standing seam, corrugated or 5V crimp style. Roof colors will be limited to mill finish or shades of gray with color accent roofs at towers, cupolas and garages. All color selections for the property shall be subject to the ARC approval. The roofs of all residences within the community shall have a similarity of form to provide for a homogeneous character. All gable and hip roofs shall have a minimum roof slope of 5/12 and a maximum of 12/12. Secondary roof structures such as porches, shed dormers, etc. may have a lower slope roof with pitches of 3/12. Such secondary roof structures shall not exceed 30% of the roof area. Typical roof styles used for most Paradise Key homes are represented here in the following illustrations. Cedar/Cypress shingle roofs are permitted but not synthetic materials that simulate these natural materials.


All roof accessories, such as vent stacks and roof vents shall be painted to match the roof color. Wherever possible, vents shall be located away from the primary and secondary street elevations. Roof overhangs shall be a minimum of eighteen inches (18”). The maximum overhang shall be per the Jacksonville Beach code.

Rain gutters and downspouts shall be permitted to control roof runoff. Gutters shall be of half round profile only and all downspouts shall have a round profile only. The gutters and downspouts may be of galvalume or copper. No colored materials are permitted. The use of solar energy devices (active and/or passive) and satellite dishes are entirely subject to the ARC approval. In general and to the extent possible these elements should be located so that they are not visible from the primary and secondary street. Roof overhangs are an essential part of the Paradise Key home. Overhangs should be maximized wherever possible to provide shelter from both the sun and rain. Roof overhangs that incorporate balconies, decks, and screen porches are encouraged.

All roof eaves shall have exposed rafter tails of a minimum 2 x 6 dimension. The use of an enclosed soffit is not permitted in Paradise Key. The detailing of these overhangs should allow for a creative design expression through a variety of rafter tail designs. Materials for fascia, soffits and rafter tails shall be painted or stained wood or other materials approved by the ARC. The use of vinyl or aluminum fascia and soffit materials is not permitted.


Accessory Structures TOWERS Towers will be allowed on select lots. The scale and proportion of the tower to the main body of the house is crucial. The footprint of the tower shall be no greater than 10% of the conditioned space below it and at no time greater than 400 square feet including the stairs. The height of the tower and the roof in general is limited on most lots to 42’ (measured from the crown of the road in front of the house to mid-point between the ridge and the eaves). The location of the towers can be on the side, front, or rear. CARRIAGE HOUSE: GARAGES & PARKING STRUCTURES Structures associated with the automobile are encouraged to be detached unless under the house. The character of these structures shall be commensurate with the main house and connected to the house by a porch or breezeway. Such structures may or may not have rooms above or attached shed storage appendages. Garages cannot face the street unless they are rear of the front façade respective to the street. If a front facing garage is permitted it must be a minimum of 15’ back from the front most wall of the house not including porches and in compliance with the minimum 20’ setback.


In addition, front facing garages must have architectural elements to diminish their garage appearance. Such elements may include arbors, columns, bracketed rook canopies, etc. Garage doors are encouraged to be 9’ wide. Garage doors accessing alleys may be a maximum of 18’ wide. Other doors may also be 18’ wide but in no case can a door facing the front or secondary street be wider than 9’. Garage door heights may vary. Special exceptions may be made for larger doors for boats or RV’s but the size shall be limited and must be approved by the ARC. Garage doors shall be designed in keeping with the style of the house and may include a variety of styles and materials. The use of stamped metal or fiberglass doors is allowed if the design is appropriate for the style of the house and the stamped panels create shadow lines to add depth to the door. (Cut sheets must be provided for all doors and samples may be required) Flush unadorned garage doors shall not be permitted. Where garages have rooms designed to be over the garage, the garage must be designed in proportion to the scale of the house. A one story home will not be permitted to have a full two story garage but would be permitted to have a room built into the roof framing over the garage as long as the details are consistent with the house.

OUTBUILDINGS: GAZEBOS & CABANAS Gazebos and cabanas serve as areas of leisure allowing residents a place to read, meditate, or relax while breezes and shade help insure comfort. These structures shall be detailed similar to the porches of the main house. POOLS & POOL ENCLOSURES Pools are allowed in Paradise Key and can be an integral part of the design of the house and the exterior living spaces of the home. Pools may be located in the rear yard of the house and in the side yard only if they are setback a minimum of 20’ from the front property line; not on a secondary street side; and screened behind a wall or fence. Pools must meet the setbacks of the City of Jacksonville Beach and must meet all other requirements for their design. Pool screened enclosures are permitted but must match the architecture of the house and shall include architectural columns, beams and rafters similar to/ or in keeping with those on the house. The goal is to make the pool enclosure appear as part of the architecture and using the elements of the porch. The use of standard aluminum pool enclosures is not permitted except as infill frames between columns, beams and rafters as described above. Side yard pools may not be enclosed. In detailing the enclosure the screen of the enclosure

must be inset toward the inside of the columns and behind architectural elements as described in the screen porch section. On roof elements, the screen must be set down at least 2” from the top of the structural roof elements. Pools located on lakes, open spaces, and greenbelts may not have screened enclosures on the pool. These include lots: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 61 and 62. Special care should be taken on corner lots so that the pool is not visible from the streets including Lots 9, 16, 18, 22, 33, 39, 46, 47, 48, 51, and 52. Fences are required by code around pools. The Owner shall be solely responsible for ensuring that these requirements are met. The design of all pool fences shall be approved by the ARC. The use of aluminum picket fences at pools shall be considered but the fences must be concealed in landscaping and have added details. Simple aluminum picket fences with top and bottom rail, and ¾” square pickets will not be allowed. Fences must be no more than the required height per the pool code. If the pool is a side yard pool, the aluminum fence shall be setback from the front corner of the house by 5’. The use of railings and fences to match other elements of the house is encouraged.


Details The details at Paradise Key will define this Coastal Vernacular Architecture. WEATHERVANES The weathervanes should reflect the uniqueness of the owner of the house. Weathervanes shall be made of copper or non-corrosive metal components. WIDOW’S WALKS & CUPOLAS Widow’s Walks or cupolas may be added to the main body of any house. Window’s walks and cupolas will be centered in the middle of the main house mass. Cupolas may not be 1/8 of the footprint of the house. Respectively, widow’s walks shall be no greater than ¼ of the building footprint. Both cupolas and widow’s walks shall be appropriately proportioned to the main body of the house and must meet all height requirements and other limitations in the PFP

PORCHES Porches are required on all Paradise Key homes and are in integral part of the design and lifestyle of the coastal vernacular home. Porches must be provided on all houses on the primary street side and must be at least 50% of the width of the primary façade but no less than 15’ wide. On corner lots porches shall be on the two sides of the house. On the secondary street side the porch should be a minimum of 15’ wide/long. All street facing porches must be a minimum of 8 feet deep. Wrap around porches are encouraged on corner lots. Porches can be on one or both floors. Porches on the street facing sides of all houses are encouraged to be elevated on piers as previously outlined. All porches greater than 32” above the crown of the road must have actual piers or simulate the use of piers. All street side porches must be constructed to look like traditional wood porches. Porch decks and steps are required to be wood even if installed over a slab.


The use of synthetic deck materials is permitted if the material is approved by the ARC. On front porches and steps the risers of the steps and the front skirt of the porch must be painted to match the trim of the house. Treads and decking may remain natural or be stained. Screened porches are not permitted on front porches or secondary street side porches but are permitted on rear and side porches except those that face streets. Where used, the screen framing shall be inset toward the back of the structure on the porch and in no case shall be closer to the front of the structure than midway in the columns or beams. Railings and other details on screened porches must be on the outside of the screening. Balconies may also be used and can provide for the street porch requirements if they meet the required 8’ depth except on third floors. Balconies should be detailed with decorative brackets or projecting beams for support. All decking on balconies shall be wood or other ARC approved decking material. See examples and possibilities for suggested porch compositions.

COLUMNS The columns at Paradise Key are a simple interpretation of Vernacular framed houses. These columns can be round (Tuscan), tapered or square with or without chamfered edges with nominal dimensions of 6x6 or 8x8. Square box columns of a 10 x 10 dimension will be permitted. Round non-tapered columns will not be permitted. Column heights will be typically 8’ to 10’. Columns shall be proportioned to one floor and stacked two floor conditions. RAILINGS Railing details shall generally be comprised of square balusters with tight spacing coupled with simple newel posts or pedestal bases for the columns. Alternative designs including louvers, palings, etc. and other creative interpretations of traditional railings are encouraged and shall be permitted on a case by case basis if appropriate for the design of the house. The architect

and/or owner are responsible for ensuring that the design meets all code requirements for height and spacing. The ARC acknowledges that alternate materials to wood are available, the use of such materials will be limited. The ARC will consider alternatives by sample only but the intent is to provide railings that fit the Coastal Vernacular style which would traditionally have been constructed of wood. CHIMNEYS Chimney dimensions shall be compatible in scale with the structure; however, the minimum size shall be two feet six inches (2’-6”) by four feet six inches (4’-6”). Prefabricated metal fireplaces, when used, must have coverings for all exposed flue pipes. Chimney finish materials must be masonry type materials such as stucco or brick to replicate traditional wood burning fireplace chimneys.


Examples


DRIVEWAYS Driveways are a functional element for vehicular access. In Paradise Key where the emphasis is on the pedestrian, driveways are to be minimized. The required neighborhood sidewalk (see Walkways) shall be placed continuous across the primary and secondary street frontage sides of the lot. The driveway shall abut each side of the sidewalk. Driveways and driveway ribbons shall be of consistent materials, texture and pattern and may be:

Rock salt finish with 12” smooth boarder with scored joint between the smooth and salt finish.

Colored and textured concrete only with ARC approval

Coquina shell aggregate concrete

Crushed natural stone or shell of a light color shade subject to ARC approval. Edges shall be restrained by concrete header curbs 6” to 8” wide with a minimum depth of 12”.

Unit pavers on compacted base with edges restrained by concrete header curbs as above. Paver colors subject to ARC approval.

Unit pavers on a recessed concrete slab with minimum thickness of 4”.

Single lane driveways shall not exceed 10 feet in width. Street-front drives shall not exceed 10 feet in width from the sidewalk for the first 12 feet into the property. Double lane drives shall not exceed 20’ in width and 30’ in length. In

all locations, where possible, “ribbon” driveways are required with twin tire tracks are strongly encouraged. A functional dimension for this kind of drive is twin tracks 24” wide with a 30” wide ‘landscape’ space between. Front driveways shall have patterns or planters inserted to break up expanses of paving materials. Design patterns in pavers, narrow planter beds, etc. shall be used. The objective is to create driveways that appear as if each lane is 10 feet wide. WALKWAYS AND SIDEWALKS All lots are required to provide a 5’ wide 4” thick rock salt finish concrete sidewalk along the street frontage of the property. This includes corner lots down both streets. The sidewalk shall have expansion or control joints at 8’ on center. In general the sidewalk should be installed with its edge on the lot line and within the right of way. Sidewalks may curve or vary as needed to preserve trees and in response to extreme topography. Owners shall provide a minimum of one walkway for the residence front entry with a connection to the public walkway and then continues from the sidewalk to the curb. The walkway may also be connected to the driveway if the driveway is in the front. Walkways shall be a minimum of 3’ wide and no greater than 6’ wide.

Materials for walkways may be one of the following:

Rock salt finish with 8” smooth boarder with scored joint between the smooth and salt finish.

Colored and textured concrete with ARC approval

Coquina shell aggregate concrete

Crushed natural stone or shell of a light shade with edges restrained with wood headers or other approved material. Plastic edging is not permitted.

Unit pavers on compacted base with edges restrained

Unit pavers on concrete slabs. Unit paver samples shall be submitted to the ARC for approval prior to installation.

Wood MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT SCREENING Compressors, meters and miscellaneous equipment shall be grouped and screened to minimize the impact on neighbors and the community. Screens can be comprised of either landscaping or wood that is compatibly detailed to harmonize with the exterior. AC units, pool equipment, pumps and other mechanical equipment visible from the street or closer than 10’ on the side from the front of a house must be screened by a fence matching the front yard picket fence. Other locations may use landscaping


provided that the plant materials are sufficient in size and thickness to conceal the equipment from view. Exposed vents, grilles and other mechanical, electrical and plumbing components shall be coordinated with building elements and rhythms. Consider locating the dryer exhaust vent, hose bibs, waterproof outlets, etc, below the first floor beam. Conceal these items to the extent possible and coordinate visible items with the foundation piers and screens. Where it is feasible, conceal other vents/grilles etc. in the eaves. The location of AC compressors, pool equipment, generators, pumps and other noise making outdoor equipment shall be located to the extent possible with consideration of the adjacent homes and especially their outdoor living spaces.

FENCES AND GATEWAYS In Paradise Key, fences will become a primary element to unify the visual character of the community. Fences are opportunities to connect the architectural vernacular of individual homes with the streetscape. Picket or picket style fences are required on street frontages. The use of fences on side and rear lot lines will be up to the individual lot owners and are subject to ARC approval. On street frontages, both primary and secondary, fences shall be located 1’ off the property line into the lot. A utility easement runs along the front of the lot so care should be taken in setting posts to not interfere with underground utilities. Builders should consult a location service before starting work. In the rear of the property, fences may be located up to one foot from the property line. On alley ways, fences shall be located no closer than 5’ from the edge of the alley pavement/curb. Fences along the front property line and side streets shall be at a minimum height 30” and maximum of 36”. Post and trim caps shall not extend more

than 8” above the fence panel unless utilized as a component of an entry trellis or arbor. Entry gates, arbors, or trellises, as components of the fence and entryway are encouraged, but not required. Where utilized, these features should complement the fence design. Street side fences shall be wood, painted white with vertical picket arrangements. Panels may incorporate other elements in their details provided they are consistent with the design of the house and in no case shall have opacity greater than 65%. Imagination and originality are encouraged to create a unique fence design for each house. Fences may not be repeated exactly and similar fences shall be separated by at least 10 homes including across the street. It is the goal in Paradise Key to avoid fencing off back yards and thereby diminishing the connectivity of the community and the natural character of the neighborhood. To create privacy in the rear yards, vegetation screening is preferred. Hedges that reach heights of 6’ or more can create great natural privacy barriers.


However to allow for more privacy in rear yards, fences may be constructed to a 6’ height but must be of wood (except decorative privacy walls may be considered) and in a unique design appropriate to the style of the house. For such fences (or walls) solid, 100% opacity is only allowed for a total of 30’ in length. Rear yard fences may be other colors or stained subject to ARC approval. Rear yard fences that are 6’ high can run no more than half way down the side yard of the house from the back corner and may not be located on street sides including rear yards on the street. The remainder of the side yard fence must match the front yard fence. Rear yard fences constructed along the greenway or lakefront lots on must meet height requirements of the front yard fences (except pool fencing) and return down side yards at the lower height 5’ down the side yard. Such fences must meet the other requirements of the code. All fences are subject to approval by the ARC. Rear yard fences abutting the adjacent neighborhoods are allowed to have a 6’ tall wood shadow box fence similar to the community fence behind lots 1, 2 and 3. This fence will not be counted in

the 30’ privacy fence which will be in addition to this perimeter fence. Hardware and fasteners used in fence construction shall be of corrosion resistant materials (i.e. bronze, stainless steel, hot-dipped galvanized). Chain-link fencing is not permitted under any circumstance and standard “off the rack” wood picket fence panels shall not be permitted. Landscape fences designed to allow vegetation to grow and produce a more organic fence are permitted on rear or non-street side yards. Such fences shall be constructed using wood posts at least 6 x 6 in size and a wood top rail. The mesh between must be of a quality to resist corrosion and approved by sample. The Owner is responsible for ensuring that landscaping on the fence is maintained and that it fills in to cover the fence.

MAILBOXES & HOUSE NUMBERS To maintain a consistent design quality, all mailboxes must be constructed to match. See the mailbox design standards printed as a separate document for more information. In addition, house numbers shall be of the same type on all mailboxes and the house. Exceptions for personal expression shall be permitted if approved by the ARC.


Colors & Painting

The color palette for Paradise Key will be common and familiar; much like the architectural style of the homes. Composition of the color palette is derived from the dominating elements of the region: the beach, the sky, the vegetation, and the water. The naturally occurring colors of the surrounding environment have a tendency to be lightly saturated with a muted or grayed patina due to constant exposure to the climate. The examples below represent a color philosophy that will harmonize the honest architectural expression of the homes with the soft, naturally occurring hues of the surrounding environment. The colors are organized into categories: Sunny, Sunset, Ocean, Sky and Nature, with Accent colors for each. In addition, there are Neutrals and Accents, both light and dark. The basic color philosophy for the home is to contrast the body of the home with the trim. For example; a dark body color would be contrasted and or complimented by a light trim color and vice versa. The accent would then be selected to highlight special details and or special components of the home with a splash of color.

The various components are defined as follows:

Body – refers to the body of the home, i.e. the siding. Corner boards may also be considered the body.

Trim – refers to all elements other than the body of the home, i.e.: columns, railings, fascia, window and door frames, sashes and corner boards if they are not painted the body color.

Accent – accent colors will have limited application and would only be used to highlight special components or details of the home. For example, special components would include: cupolas, shutters, front door/main entry door and or back door.

We offer the following color matrix as a general guide to the application of exterior color to your Paradise Key home. The selections provided here are meant to summarize a range of colors to select from. Other color selections not shown in the matrix may be used with prior approval of the Paradise Key Design Review personnel. Unique color schemes that add character and interest to the neighborhood will be considered. Final specified colors may be either color matched to an approved brand of exterior paint, or an alternate color may be selected with prior approval from Paradise Key. All samples are from the Porter Paints Color Selections unless otherwise noted. Please note that the printing techniques used to produce this “Patterns for Paradise” booklet cannot accurately reproduce the true color samples. Actual color chips are available for your review and selection in the Paradise Key Sales Office.

Lighting Guidelines and Standards Exterior lighting can be beneficial for safety, security and aesthetic applications. However, exterior lighting also contributes to light pollution and is disruptive to natural habitats. Due to these influences, exterior lighting will be limited to the following:

Wall mounted light fixtures with shielded lamps

Recessed lighting in porches and soffits

Up-lighting from the ground onto building or landscape features

Other specialty lighting approved by the ARC

All lighting shall be carefully selected to complement the architectural styles of buildings and the natural character of the landscape. Lighting shall not be located as to interfere with streetscape or sidewalk mobility or present a nuisance glare to adjacent properties. The ARC must approve all post-mounted and wall-mounted fixtures that will be visible from surrounding properties.

Lighting Equipment

All exterior lighting equipment in exposed locations shall utilize aluminum, stainless steel, copper or bronze metal housing and shields. Alternate materials such as composite materials may be considered for durability on a case by case basis.

Exterior plastic or composite components and plastic lenses are not allowed.

Flood lighting or ‘moon’ lighting from buildings, poles or trees onto the lot is not allowed.

All wiring and conduits for lighting fixtures must be concealed from view

Junction boxes for exterior landscape lighting shall be dark bronze, black or green and shall not extend beyond 8” above finish grade.

Lamping shall include compact fluorescent bulbs not exceeding 150 watts where exposed bulbs are not visible to the human eye and 40 watts maximum where the light source is visible to the eye.

Lamping choice may also include low-watt (70 – 150 watts) metal halide lamps which have a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 96.

Twinkle lights, strip or rope lighting, colored lights, and exposed globe fixtures are not permitted.

Seasonal holiday lighting may not occur within the street right-of-way. Such lighting may be installed 30 days prior to the holiday but must be taken down within 30 days after the holiday.


Landscape Guidelines & Standards LANDSCAPE VISION Paradise Key is located in a Coastal Maritime Oak Hammock environment. Plants that support this beautiful habitat have evolved over time to withstand the stresses of extreme heat, drought conditions, salt air and lack of nutrients. Because of these extreme conditions, existing plants are sensitive to disturbance. Re-establishing native plant cover, once damaged or destroyed, can be a challenging and slow process. To offset the potential for loss, the preferred approach to lot development in Paradise Key will be one of “protect and preserve” in lieu of clearing and re-planting. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) intends for the natural character of Paradise Key to be protected, maintained and enhanced as the community is built out. To support this, lot owners and Design Professionals are provided with these

Landscape Development Guidelines to assist the planning, design and construction process. The Goal of these Guidelines is to reinforce the visual fabric that blends the built environment with the site’s natural landscape setting. Preserving and enhancing the natural character of Paradise Key will rely heavily on the ability to integrate man-made improvements with the natural features of the site. Individual lots will present a variety of opportunities that must be closely evaluated to determine the best Site Development Plan. Considerations will include access, solar orientation, shade patterns, existing vegetation, soils, topography, drainage, building restriction lines and the relationships of indoor and outdoor use areas that create a functional and aesthetic residential property.

To assure that the vision for the natural character for Paradise Key is maintained, a landscape plan shall be prepared by a Landscape Architect licensed to practice in the State of Florida or a qualified landscape designer that has been approved to work in Paradise Key. The plan submitted shall bear the Landscape Architect or designer’s signature and information. LANDSCAPE PATTERNS Florida-Friendly Landscaping Owners are strongly encouraged to apply the principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping in planning their landscapes. The primary objective of Florida-Friendly Landscaping is to put the right plant in the right place, i.e. selecting plants that are compatible with existing site conditions and require minimal water once established. Recommended references are:


“Waterwise Florida Landscapes” by the St. Johns River Water Management District at http://sjr.state.us/ and “Florida Friendly Landscaping” on the University of Florida’s website www.floridayards.org. Preservation of Existing Vegetation To the greatest extent possible, existing trees and vegetation should be preserved. This will help maintain the strong visual character of Paradise Key that is defined by the existing native vegetation and will help minimize the need for new landscape investment by the lot owner. Before Site Planning efforts are initiated, lot owners are required to obtain a current boundary and topographic survey to include the names, sizes and locations of all existing trees of 4” caliper and greater throughout the lot and in the right of way. The limits and the character of all under-story vegetation should also be included, especially Saw Palmetto masses. This information will allow the lot owner and Design Professionals to fully evaluate potential building layouts in consideration of the impacts or benefits to existing vegetation. To protect natural areas to be preserved, precise limits of clearing and grubbing must be established and maintained throughout the

construction process. To keep construction activities out of the preservation areas, temporary fencing is required and shall consist of 48 inch-high wood or plastic “snow fencing” attached to a framework of wood 2” x 4”s driven at least 18” into the ground. Fencing shall remain upright and in place throughout the entire construction process and shall only be removed when the home is substantially complete and landscaping is being installed. Plant Palette The native plants that exist in Paradise Key have adapted over time to withstand the extreme stress of this coastal environment. To maintain the natural character of the site, plants

selected for use in Paradise Key must be compatible with the life-sustaining elements that have allowed the existing native vegetation to thrive. The intent is to maintain this balance as the community builds out, relying primarily upon plant species indigenous to the site, to enhance the community landscape. A detailed list of acceptable plants is included in the accompanying Plant Palette. Any deviation from this list will require written approval by the ARC. Landscape improvements in rear yards and courtyards that are not in public view, may include species not on this list, but will be subject to ARC approval. A list of plants can be obtained from the ARC and is subject to change. Irrigation Irrigation for landscaping is required. Drip irrigation systems are recommended because water is directed only to the plants’ root zones where it’s needed. Overhead spray systems are not prohibited, but if they are used, only potable water may be the water source because the iron in shallow well water often produces staining on buildings and hardscape areas.

Street Frontage/Alley Right-of-Way Landscaping Each lot owner will participate in the creation of a unified street landscape program to reinforce the visual and natural character of Paradise Key. Street frontage landscaping shall be provided in the area between the property boundary and the sidewalk and in the area between the sidewalk and the back of curb. On properties abutting alleyways, the landscape zone is the area from the property boundary to the edge of the alley pavement. Planting Requirements: On the street frontage, the strip between the sidewalk and the property boundary and the area between the sidewalk and the curb shall be planted with a mix of approved species per the current approved Plant Palette. This area shall be planted with two Live or Sand Live Oaks, one tree being a minimum of 5” caliper and 15’ tall and the second to be a minimum of 3” caliper and 10’-12’ high, and spaced approximately 35 feet apart plus under-story vegetation in accordance with the Plant Palette selections for this zone. Plantings shall be arranged in a naturalistic fashion emulating nature to the greatest extent possible. In every case, consideration shall be given to the eventual size to which each of the species will grow.

Along alleyways, the unpaved area between the property boundary and the edge of alley pavement shall be planted with a mix of shrubs and ground covers arranged in naturalistic fashion and providing complete coverage of the ground. Tree planting in this area is at the owner’s discretion. On lots where existing trees have been preserved in the streetscape planting zone by the Developer, the requirement for tree planting is waived on a one-to-one credit basis. Corner lots shall fulfill street frontage landscaping requirements per this section for each street exposure.

Front Yard Landscaping Specific The front yard planting zone is the area between the building line and the front property boundary. Every effort should be made to preserve and protect all existing vegetation between the front property line and a line five feet out from the house. All open areas within this zone, not covered by walkways or other hardscape improvements shall be landscaped either with preserved native vegetation or supplemental plantings compatible with the preserved vegetation. Specific Requirements: The front yard planting zone shall be planted with Native plantings arranged in groupings that mimic the natural Paradise Key forest landscape. Plantings shall include a minimum of one Canopy Tree and one Small Tree selected from the Native species listed in the approved Plant Palette. The Canopy Tree must have a minimum height of 15 feet, a spread of 5 feet and a trunk of 5” caliper and the Small Tree a minimum height of 10 feet, a spread of 3 feet and have a trunk of 3” caliper. Where existing trees have been preserved, these may be credited toward the front yard tree planting requirements on a one-to-one credit basis. The use of turf grasses within the front yard planting zone is prohibited.


Side Yard Landscaping The side yard planting zones are those areas between the front and rear building lines contained by the adjacent side property lines and the house. All open areas devoid of vegetation not covered by walkways or other hardscape improvements shall be landscaped. Specific Requirements: Side yard planting zones shall be planted with shrubs and/or groundcovers and shall include a minimum of one Canopy Tree and one Small Tree selected from the approved Plant Palette. In the event that the space required to plant trees is restricted by the location of buildings or the driveway, required trees may be shifted to the opposing side yard planting zone. However the total requirement for side yard tree plantings shall be provided. Minimum tree sizes shall be the same as the Front Yard. Turf grasses are prohibited in side yards.

Rear Yard Landscaping The rear yard planting zone is the area between the rear building line and the rear property line. All areas within this zone not covered by walkways or other hardscape improvements shall be landscaped. Specific Requirements: The rear yard planting zone shall include a minimum of one Canopy Tree and two Small Trees from the approved Plant Palette. Minimum size for each tree type shall be the same as for the front and side yard zones. Existing preserved trees may be credited toward this requirement. Turf grass is permitted in the rear yard zone but shall be restricted to a total of 450 square feet.

General Landscaping Notes:

Tree species requirements listed as “Canopy” may also be used to fulfill “Small” tree requirements.

Palms may be used to fulfill Small Tree requirements, but shall be restricted to side and rear yard planting zones only.

Turf grass such as St. Augustine, Zoysia, Seashore Paspalum and Bermuda is restricted to rear yard planting zones and shall be utilized in one contiguous area and shall not exceed 450 square feet in size.


Section 2: Design Review Administration DESIGN REVIEW PROCEDURES The following is an outline of the procedures for plan submissions for new single-family homes and additions/renovations and the required site visits and reviews during construction. All plans are to be submitted to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) for review and must be approved by the ARC for execution. Once approved, applications are valid for one year from date of approval. After one year, applications expire and become invalid. If the applicant wishes to proceed with the project after the application expiry date, the applicant must apply for a new approval. Design Review Applications are available from the development office or management company. PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS To ensure the architectural quality and integrity in the Paradise Key community, an architect or ARC approved design professional will be required to assist the owner in the design of the home and site work. The architect or designer shall be selected from the current, approved list of design professionals. The list will be determined by the ARC and may be

subject to change at any time. See later sections for approval process. Step 1: Preliminary Review Preliminary plan submission is the first step in the review process and is intended to determine if the new home is compatible with the neighborhood design vision and the requirements of the PFP. Preliminary submissions shall include two sets of the following minimum requirements: (1) Completed Application form. (2) A Site plan at 1/8” or other suitable scale showing all trees with a caliper greater than 4 inches at a height greater than 4 feet above grade, all grades, horizontal and vertical improvements with pertinent dimensions, setbacks, easements, etc. (3) Floor plans, which may be shown on the site plan. – minimum 1/8: = 1’ scale.

The ARC will meet on a regular basis as needed. Meeting times and dates are subject to change. Contact the ARC office for this information. Specific deadlines will be established for being placed on the agenda and for receipt of submission materials.


Section 3: Design Professionals and Builder Standards APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONALS The unique character of the Paradise Key streetscape depends on the quality of the design, construction, and landscaping of each home. This process begins with the selection of a qualified architect or approved designer, contractor, and landscape designer who understand the vision for Paradise Key and are will adhere to the Patterns for Paradise guidelines. To ensure this happens, all architects/ designers, landscape architects/ designers and builders be approved to work in Paradise Key prior to commencement of any work. Architects and Designers All architects and designers wishing to work in Paradise Key must be approved by the ARC prior to submitting any designs for review. Approval will be based on the designer’s ability to produce each type of drawing required for ARC review, the ability to provide precise details that clearly identify all elements of the construction project, an understanding of the Design Vision and requirements in the Patterns for Paradise and a willingness to adhere to its requirements.

Specifically the architect or designer will be required to submit to the ARC for consideration: Résumé Designs that demonstrate the

designers ability to create quality architecture (submit a minimum of 3); samples that resemble the style envisioned for Paradise Key are recommended

Construction drawings that demonstrate the designers ability to detail the house

References – including Owners and other review boards are helpful

Any other material the designer feels will demonstrate their abilities (photos of completed projects, etc.)

The ARC will review the architect or designer’s submission at one of its regularly scheduled meetings and will respond in writing to inform the architect or designer if they are approved. Please note that approval can be withdrawn for failure to sufficiently perform within the parameters of the PFP or lack of cooperation with the ARC.

Landscape Architects and Designers All landscape architects and designers wishing to work in Paradise Key must be approved by the ARC prior to submitting any designs for review. Approval will be based on the designer’s ability to provide a landscape plan and design that reinforces the vision for the landscaping in Paradise Key and understanding of the Design Vision and requirements in the Patterns for Paradise and a willingness to adhere to its requirements. Specifically the landscape architect or designer will be required to submit to the ARC for consideration: Résumé Designs that demonstrate the

designers ability to create quality landscape designs (submit a minimum of 3) samples that resemble the style envisioned for Paradise Key are recommended

Drawings that demonstrate the designers willingness to comply with the submission requirements

References – including Owners and other review boards are helpful

Any other material the designer feels will demonstrate their abilities


(photos of completed projects, etc.) The ARC will review the landscape architect or designer’s submission at one of its regularly scheduled meetings and will respond in writing to inform the landscape architect or designer if they are approved. Please note that approval can be withdrawn for failure to sufficiently perform within the parameters of the PFP or lack of cooperation with the ARC.

Builders & Contractors All contractors and builders must be approved by the ARC to work in Paradise Key. It is crucial that all builders understand the vision for Paradise Key and are familiar with the design requirements outlined in the Patterns for Paradise as they are responsible for implementing the designer’s ideas in the field. Approval of builders will be based on their ability to construct quality homes in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. In order to receive approval, the builder must submit the following to the ARC for review: Résumé Copy of license Copy of current insurance Photos of finished projects (min. of

5 different projects) that reflect projects similar to the homes to be built in Paradise Key

References from clients and other review boards

References from designers (specifically this should address the willingness and ability to adhere to the plans)

Other information deemed necessary for approval

The ARC will review the builder’s submission at one of its regularly scheduled meetings and respond in writing to inform the builder if they are approved. Please note that approval of a builder can be withdrawn for failure to adequately perform within the guidelines, lack of cooperation with the ARC’s requests, for not adhering to the approved plans and specifications, and failure to comply with other rules and regulations as outlined for the neighborhood. It must be noted that it is not the intent of this approval requirement to dictate the owner’s selection of their design and construction team, but to help ensure that the vision for Paradise Key is achieved. The ultimate benefit of this process will be a beautiful community for all to enjoy.


CONTRUCTION STANDARDS The following shall apply to any and all construction, improvement, alteration or maintenance of any structure, any change to the exterior of any structure and to grading, excavating, tree removal, landscaping or any other change to the grounds of a single-family site within Paradise Key.
