Property Modification/Maintenance Guide: Ed-2016 DESIGN COMMITTEE 3500 Harmony Square Drive West Harmony, Florida 34773 407-891-1616 Welcome to your new home! The Harmony Design Committee was established to administer the design review process, both for new construction and individual homeowner requests. The Committee is made up of representatives of the Harmony Development Company staff and is assisted as needed by various design consultants. The Harmony Design Code is primarily intended for the design, planning, and approval process for the approved homebuilders at Harmony. The design principles are intended to provide for a variety of home configurations and designs which enhance the property values of all owners, now and in the future. There are some requirements that relate to Harmony homeowners and the alterations and/or additions that may be requested after the initial purchase of their homes. The following list is an example of those items that require approval from the Harmony Design Committee. Please review your Harmony Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Guidelines or contact the Harmony Design Committee for clarification before any improvements are made. Fencing and/or Garden Walls Play Structures Major Landscape Changes Pool and Spas Landscape Lighting Satellite Dishes House Color Changes Solar Panels Roof Color Changes Window Treatments/Blinds Forms are available to assist in the submittal of requests, and most requests are answered within 1 to 2 weeks, but no more than 30 days. Additional information regarding specific requirements can be requested through the Harmony Development Company's office. HARMONY REVIEW PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT (Improvements to Existing Buildings) Harmony is envisioned as a new town, a place for people to live, work, socialize, and enjoy Central Florida and its unique natural features. Our Harmony Code has been designed to help define the architectural, community and landscaping design elements that make up the built environment of the community. In order to ensure that new homes, additions, renovations and other built elements will improve and enhance this vision, all such projects shall be subject to review. Please refer to the Home Residential Owner Association Documents for the rules and regulations pertaining to the maintenance and regular up-keep of homes in the community. There are no fees associated with any submittals to the HOC, however the HOC reserves the right to initiate a fee structure at any time prior to submittal. Review and approval given by the HDC does not eliminate the necessity of obtaining an Osceola County Building Permit where applicable. IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING BUILDINGS There are two categories of improvements to existing buildings: Major and Minor. These categories are defined by there importance to the character and design of the building and the lot. Minor Changes: Painting (change of color), re-roofing (change of color), addition of fences, lighting, game structures, drives, walks, landscape structures, lawn ornaments, statuaries, additional parking, Re-design of Landscape, Pools, Pool screens etc. Major Changes: Additions to Primary Structure, Addition of Outbuilding, breezeway connections, etc. For Minor Changes, submit a completed Improvements Review Application with supporting material samples and/or design sketches as needed. For Major Changes, submit a completed Improvements Review Application, supporting architectural construction drawings, and material samples as needed. OUTBUILDINGS, POOLS, AND STRUCTURES In the Town of Harmony outbuildings, such as the garage, gazebo, workshops, etc., are considered extensions of the main house and should be designed with the same care. Screen enclosures, for pools, spas, or other exterior spaces, enhance the enjoyment of Florida's year round outdoor activities. These structures, however, should not be viewed from the public, street-side of the lot. Due to the less visible and more private sitting of these structures away from the street view, the requirements are somewhat relaxed, but require the same design thought. MATERIALS 11 The materials for outbuildings shall be the same as for the principle structure. 11 Screen enclosures of white aluminum frame and screen components are allowed; enhanced designs to match the style and detail of the house are encouraged. CONFIGURATIONS AND TECHNIQUES Outbuildings/ Structures 11 Accessory structures and unique features, such as gazebos, storage sheds, workshops, etc., shall match the style and detail of the main house and not exceed 12 feet in height. 11 Play structures are allowed but must comply with all setbacks, are limited to rear yards, and must be screened or located out of view from the street. Pools 11 Only in-ground pools are permitted; no above-ground pools. Above­ ground hot tubs and spas are permitted. 11 Pool, spas, and hot tubs shall be screened from view with fencing, garden walls and/or landscaping, and shall be enclosed by such or with screen enclosure to meet all safety requirements.

If greater than 18", then a wall with stucco finish or lattice section is required. 11 Second Floor Balcony Screen Enclosures are NOT allowed. FENCES AND GARDEN WALLS In the Town of Harmony, front yard fences define the line between the public space of the street and the private space of the yard of the homes. They make a transitional and transparent edge, allowing views but establishing the lot boundary. Privacy fences and garden walls, taller and opaque to block casual views, are allowed along back yards to foster and protect the private life that is complementary to the community life. Creativity is strongly encouraged in the design of all fences. MATERIALS 111 Front yard fences shall be made of wrought iron, (White) PVC (recycled preferred), or painted aluminum. Combinations of materials (such as masonry bases/columns and wrought iron) will be considered on an individual basis and must be approved by the HOC. 111 Garden walls and privacy fencing shall be made of brick, stone or stucco (to match the home), wrought iron, aluminum, or approved combination of materials. CONFIGURATIONS Front Yards (front 24' of property) 111 Fences in front yards along the street frontage and along side yard and common lot lines must be between 30" and 42" high. 111 Fences in the front yards adjacent the front street and side street where applicable, shall have a setback from the front property line a minimum of 12 inches.All fences in this location should have open pickets to allow views to the front yard.

  • The Yolo Gardener a Quarterly Publication by the U.C
    THE YOLO GARDENER A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION BY THE U.C. YOLO COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS Winter 2008 What is Eating my Privet? Patt Tauzer Pavao, Yolo County Master Gardener rivets are one of those plants that no one seems to be able to kill, and until this summer, that included even me. In fact, tiny privet offspring continually pop up all over my yard, and I continually yank them out. The few that have escaped my watchful eye grow prolifically,P and others that have come up along the back fence have grown into a hardy hedge that does a good job of blocking the neighbors from view. Imagine my surprise when I walked out into the yard last June and discovered that all of the new growth on one privet, the one near the playhouse, had been stripped from the branches. And, on top of that, the edges of at least 50% of the older leaves were jagged and gouged, showing definite signs that they had been nibbled on by something. But what? And what was I to do about it? With my magnifier in hand, I began to inspect the leaves for Photo by Kate Pavao some clue. I was looking for some small insect, or maybe even a Late Night Sleuthing caterpillar of some kind. But I found only a single garden spider, one dragonfly, and two tiny grasshopper-like insects that I thought might be leaf-hoppers, or even the dreaded glassy winged sharpshooter. I captured both of them and took them, and a few of the damaged leaves, to the Master Gardener office for a more accurate identification.
