CASTLE VILLAGE APPROVED LIST Revised: April 2016

Castle Pines Village is a covenant-controlled community. The covenants are provided in the Amended and Restated Castle Pines Declaration and Agreement Creating Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (a copy can be obtained on the Castle Pines Village website at www.castlepinesvillage.org or at the Homes Association Office). The covenants created the Design Review Committee which is responsible to review and approve all improvements in the Village. Page 23 of the covenants state, “No work of improvement, grading, excavation, landscaping, or planting or removal shall be undertaken on any Lot or Lots without the prior approval of the Design Review Committee” which is responsible to review and approve the homeowner’s detailed plan specifying the proposed improvements.

It is the intent of the Landscape Standards for Castle Pines Village to unify the newly built environment with that of the original natural setting and remaining undisturbed Village setting. The overall objective is to establish harmony between native and introduced plant materials that not only thrive in the Village environment, but also enhance the landscape experience in the Village. Attention must be given to the use of that integrate the landscape from house to house and to the original natural environment. Plantings along the public streets, common areas, and open space frontages visible to the public must be limited to native originally found in the existing landscape, and to a lesser degree, non-native plants specifically approved in the Landscape Standards for these applications noted as “transitional” plants in the Approved Plant List. As one drives through Castle Pines Village along the most-traveled roads, the appearance of the landscape should be one of a cohesive and consistent ‘natural elegance’, lined with irrigated short grasses that blend into the more natural grasses and native plants in the common open areas or into the approved landscapes on private property.

Site planning and location of new homes must be designed to preserve native plants and privacy. Wildlife corridors are provided to allow the deer, elk and other animals to roam through the Village relatively undisturbed as they have for centuries. Landscapes should also preserve the appearance of the native environment. Plants are to be of substantial size and quality so that they establish a cohesive landscape that immediately contributes to the Village as a whole. Plant sizes noted below are minimums:

Plant Type Minimum Size Required Larger 2 ½ - 3 inch caliper Smaller Deciduous Trees 6-8 foot height, B&B, if located adjacent to public streets, open spaces, common areas and golf courses Evergreen Trees 12+ foot height adjacent to public streets, open spaces, common areas and golf courses. 8+ feet in other locations Deciduous 2/3 of total amount in 5-gallon containers 1/3 total amount B&B if located adjacent to public streets, open spaces, common areas and golf courses Evergreen Shrubs 5-gallon containers Perennials and Groundcovers All sizes permitted Ornamental Grasses 1-gallon containers 1-gallon containers
