DESIGN GUIDELINES SUMMARY
TRUMPETER
@
Big Lake
Objective
To create Guidelines that represent an Architectural style direction and provide
a theme to the proposed community. The proposed styles are
Arts and Crafts and Prairie Styles.
The following is a summary of the design guidelines and samples of landscaping
elements to guide your homeowners and designers for the final product types of
Trumpeter.
In addition, attached are a set of style based elements to assist builders and
homeowners in decisions regarding the building form, details, materials and
colours to achieve the proposed theme.
The Developer and Windward Landtec shall use these guidelines as base
reference standards only and reserves the right to deviate from these guidelines
as they may determine necessary.

Massing/Siting
•
•
•
•

Minimum building width on all lots shall be within 2 ft. of the inside portion of the building
pocket with the exception of pie shaped lots where discretion may be used for the massing
requirements.
All housing units to be completed with a double garage and the area thereof shall not be
included in the dwelling unit sizes. Garage locations are as shown on the subdivision plan.
The maximum garage offset is 2 feet. On pockets less than 32’
The maximum garage offset will be 4’ on pockets greater than 32’
All triple car garages will be reviewed for compatibility to the proposed lot and adjacent siting..
Corner Lots
•
Special exterior design must be given to the flankage side of all homes on corner lots.
•
Low profile houses are preferred on corner lots. Other model types will be considered.
•
Flanking side and exposed rear elevations must be consistent with front elevation treatment.
The use of detailing roofs sloping towards view and avoidance of large expanses of blank wall
planes will satisfy this requirement.
Colours
•
The use of a complementary colour approach

features. An additional color is required. This colour may typically be used on the front
door or may be used in combination of trim elements for the home.
•
Roof colours and manufacturers in a medium to dark tone as per the attached
schedule
•
There shall be no identical house body color or trim color on adjacent lots.
Repetition
•
There shall be no identical house elevation within two lots. No same model type will be
allowed on adjacent t lots. Avoiding repetition means there is a significant change in features
such as roof slopes, size and location of windows and doors, colors and finishing materials.
