Wynmoor Community Council prides itself on the appearance and ambience of our Community. The Village is a glowing example of how Community Associations can flourish and provide a beautiful setting for many to call home.

In addition to its award winning appearance, Wynmoor property values continue to rise. This trend will continue with the enthusiasm and cooperation of all our residents. Keeping Wynmoor beautiful takes dedication and commitment on the part of its owners and management team.

In accordance with the Council’s governing documents, the Council has established an Architectural Design Review Board and accompanying Architectural Guidelines. The primary function of this Board is to preserve the achieved Architectural design and integrity of each Association in the community and thus maintain the value of the property. The effectiveness of these Guidelines hinges on the understanding and cooperation of each Association President, Building Director and unit owners.

The development of reasonable rules and regulations ensures a unified, attractive appearance and helps maintain the quality of life that has become so important in Wynmoor. With your assistance and cooperation, Wynmoor will continue to be the most attractive and valuable Adult Community in South Florida.

The following criteria are established to serve as guidelines for all Associations who wish to make limited alterations or changes within their residence or make suggestions for changes within the Wynmoor community. If you have any questions regarding specific modifications please feel free to call your Building Director or Association President. All recommendations herein are subject to current Florida State Building Codes.

Introduction

Introduction Introduction

Entry walkways shall be built with approved non-slip surface material installed over a proper base, sub-base or underlayment. Chattahoochee deck, while quite satisfactory in some installations, is no longer recommended due to its high maintenance cost and lack of consistency. Finish colors and expansion joint material should harmonize with the building paint color(s).

When replacement of lighting fixtures is required, a new fixture, which is compatible in style and scale, should be utilized. The light spread shall be focused on walking surfaces and adjacent vertical surfaces. Additional lighting such as spotlights, patio, walkway, or security lights will be reviewed on an individual basis. The Architectural Review Board shall consider the style, type, location, wattage, and any impact the lighting may have on neighbors. We recommend that light fixtures and the emitted light color be similar for all buildings in an Association.

Structures or objects such as entry walls, fountains, planters, sculptures, village name plates, and any items attached to approved structures, etc. will

Each Association within the community can choose a color scheme of no more than two colors that will be used for each building, within the association--one color for the overall building and one color for the architectural trim. A third

accent color is acceptable if applied to such building components as the catwalks and stair steps, gutters and downspouts, and front doors. Any changes in colors of existing buildings should be from the Palette of Colors. A coordinated color scheme is also recommended for all buildings within each association.

It is reccommended that the exposed concrete roof tiles on the mansard areas remain unpainted. For those buildings that have been painted in the past, re-painting is necessary and one of the building paint colors should be utilized.

3.6 Canvas Awnings

Canvas awnings for sun shading on individual units are not permitted.

3.7 Variance

The Guidelines in this Section are intended to maintain the value of the Associations property, and thus the Unit Owner’s investment. We feel that a building with visual uniformity, as originally built, reflects a strong Association, in control of its property, and dedicated to its maintenance. However, if an Association wishes to allow variances in the Apartment Door or Window styles, they should be aware that this is considered a Material Change to the building and must be approved by a duly recorded vote of the Board of Directors of that Association.
