2. Declarant originally conveyed the Properties, subject to certain easements, protective covenants, conditions, restrictions, reservations, liens and charges as set forth in four separate declarations of restrictions that were all part of a common plan and scheme of development, namely: (1) Restrictions and Covenants Unit One - Mendocino Coast Subdivision, recorded in the Office of the County Recorder on June 2, 1965, in Book 690 at Page 508; (2) Amended Restrictions and Covenants Unit Two - Mendocino Coast Subdivision, recorded in the Office of the County Recorder on August 31, 1966, in Book 724 at Page 4; (3) Restrictions and Covenants Unit Three - Mendocino Coast Subdivision, recorded in the Office of the County Recorder on March 16, 1967, in Book 736 at Page 135; and (4) Restrictions and Covenants Unit Four - Mendocino Coast Subdivision, dated June 17, 1969, and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder in Book 794 at Page 237 (collectively, the "Original Declarations").

ARTICLE IV

Architectural Design Committee

Section 4.1 Establishment of an Architectural Design Committee. The Board of Directors shall establish a standing sub-committee to be called the Architectural Design Committee (the "Committee") and to consist of three to five members of which two-thirds shall constitute a quorum, who shall be appointed by the Board. The Committee members shall serve for terms of one (1) year. There are no limitations on the number of consecutive terms a Committee Member can serve. The purpose of the Committee shall be to regulate and control the exterior architecture and design within the community in such a way as to maintain the value and desirability of the Properties for the benefit of all Owners. Members of the Committee shall be deemed to be members of the IBIC Board of Directors for the purposes of the protection afforded by Section 1365.7 of the California Civil Code.

Section 4.2 Committee Jurisdiction The Committee has jurisdiction over any improvement on an Owner's Lot, including, but not limited to remodeling and/or additions to existing structures that change its external dimension(s) or profile. The Committee shall also have jurisdiction over placement of fences, decks, storage buildings, propane tank placement/enclosure, satellite or television antennas over 18 inches in height or diameter, screening or housing of boats, recreational vehicles and other personal property in order to mitigate impacts on views from neighboring Lots. The Committee shall set up a permit process to control the foregoing to assure Owner's construction, remodeling and improvement projects comply with general requirements of this document and safeguard the unique character of the community.

Section 4.3 Committee Approval of Improvements.

(a) Submission Requirements. Prior to commencement of construction or installation of any improvement within the Properties, including but not limited to the construction, installation, alteration or remodeling (including, without limitation, color changes, replacing siding, windows, doors or roofing) of buildings, exterior walls, fences, decks or any building of any kind, the Owner planning such improvement must submit to the Committee a written request for approval.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Committee approval shall not be required, subject to the following conditions, for alteration or remodeling projects which result in no change to the exterior dimensions and/or profile of the existing structure. This waiver, however, shall only apply if the following conditions are met: 1) notification of the proposed alteration or remodel is first provided to the Committee and 2) if in all other aspects the project complies with the terms and conditions provided herein.

In the event of new construction or major remodeling that the Committee finds may impact neighboring Lot Owner views or set backs, the Committee shall conduct its review in two stages. The initial request, to be reviewed at the first stage by the Committee at a public meeting, shall be for the purpose of selecting the optimum location, in light of topographical, septic and neighboring view corridor restrictions for the proposed improvement. All potentially affected property Owners shall be notified in writing by the Committee of the application including documents to be reviewed. The Owner's initial request shall be submitted to the Committee with sufficient copies to be distributed to potentially affected property owners at least three weeks prior to the first public meeting and shall include:

(i) Topographical map on a minimum of five (5) foot contours indicating any necessary cuts or fills and the percentage of gradient;

(ii) Site location map designating access roads, septic system layout, set back requirements and view corridors from surrounding Lots;

(iii) Narrative review of the site limitations and considerations given to affects on surrounding sites in the selection of the building site or Building Envelope;

Owners shall receive a written acknowledgment of receipt of such plans and specifications by the Committee. For the purposes of this Article, the term "building" shall be defined as any permanent structure built with a foundation. The term "fence" shall be defined as any surface or barrier designed to be permanent.

Upon approval of the initial submission by the applicant, as may be modified by the Committee, the owners shall submit for review by the Committee at a second public meeting, at least three weeks prior to the meeting as the second stage of approval, if required by the Committee, the following;

(i) a topographical map on one (1) foot contours of the designated Building Envelope;

(ii) site map showing final access roads, cut and fill locations, garbage enclosures, two car garage location (whether or not to be constructed within the permit period), off-street screened parking for two vehicles if a garage is not scheduled for construction;

(iii) elevations of all improvements to be constructed, with designation of height above natural grade, including decks, fencing and exterior lighting;

(b) Criteria for Approval or Disapproval. Approval or disapproval of the Owner's request shall be based on considerations by the Committee that the proposed improvement: (i) conforms with these C C & R's and the rules, if any, of the Committee; and (ii) will not interfere with the reasonable use and/or enjoyment of any other Lot Owner of his or her property, as defined by California Civil Code Section 3479 entitled "Acts Constituting Nuisance" and Court interpretation thereof.

(c) Professional Preparation or Review. To insure accuracy and compliance with the provisions of these C C & R's and to better enhance the unique character of this community, all new construction and major remodels must be designed or customized and signed by a licensed architect or professional architectural designer. The Committee in its discretion may retain an independent professional to review site plans and building plans for compliance with these C C & R’s. The cost of such review shall be part of the reasonable processing fees that the Committee may impose.

(d) Reasonable Processing Fees. The Committee shall be entitled to impose reasonable processing fees to help defray the costs of discharging the Committee's functions. These fees shall be established by the Committee. If the Committee is required to seek a legal opinion in resolving a dispute as to interpretation of these C C & R's, the attorney fees associated therewith shall be that of the applicant and added to the applicant’s permit fee. The Committee shall maintain a record of all fees received and monies expended and issue a report to the Board on an annual basis.

(e) Prior Approvals. Any construction or improvement on a Lot performed under a Committee Permit issued prior to the date of this Declaration shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Declaration.

Section 4.4 Procedures For Obtaining Committee Approval. The Committee shall meet with such frequency as may be necessary or appropriate to the proper discharge of its duties.

In the event the Committee fails to approve or disapprove the plans and specifications for a requested improvement within 60 days after the plans and specifications have been submitted to it, the Owner shall be notified in writing of the status of review of such plans and specifications. In approving a requested improvement, the Committee may condition its approval upon the adoption of modifications in the plans and specifications or observance of restrictions as to location, height, or other factors.

Section 4.5 Committee Rules. The Committee may, from time to time and in its sole discretion and by majority vote, propose rules and regulations (or amendments thereto) pertaining to such matters as: (i) procedures for plan submission and architectural review; (ii) exterior color schemes and building materials; (iii) any other matter or concern within the jurisdiction of the Committee. These rules and regulations shall be known as the "Irish Beach Building Procedures"; and made available upon request to any property Owner. Said rules shall interpret and implement the provisions of this Article provided, however, that said rules shall not be in violation of local, County or State building codes or of the minimum architectural standards required by this Declaration. In the event of any conflict between the Committee rules and this Declaration, the provisions of the Declaration shall prevail. Once adopted, the Committee rules shall have the same force and effect as if set forth herein in full.

Section 4.6 Variances. The Committee shall be entitled to allow reasonable variances in any procedures specified in this Article IV or in any standards specified in Article V in order to overcome practical difficulties, avoid unnecessary expense or prevent unnecessary hardships, provided the following conditions are met:

(a) If the requested variance will necessitate deviation from, or modification of, a property use restriction that would otherwise be applicable under this Declaration, the Committee must conduct a public hearing on the proposed variance after giving at least 30 days' prior written notice to all Owners of property within 300 feet of the subject Lot. The Owners receiving notice of the proposed variance shall have 30 days in which to submit to the Committee written comments or objections with respect to the variance. No decision shall be made with respect to the proposed variance until the 30-day comment period has expired.

(b) The Committee must make a good faith written determination that: (1) the requested variance does not constitute a material deviation from the overall plan and scheme of development within the Properties or from any restriction contained herein or that the proposal allows the objectives of the violated requirement(s) to be substantially achieved despite noncompliance; or (2) that the variance, if granted, will not result in a material detriment, or create an unreasonable nuisance, with respect to any other Lot, Common Area or Owner within the Properties.

Section 4.7 Limitation on Liability. Approvals by the Committee of improvements within the Properties shall not take the place of or be substituted for required federal, state, county or other required government approvals. Approvals by the Committee do not attest to or approve the structural, mechanical, or electrical adequacy of the design or construction of improvements within the Properties.

Neither IBIC, its Committee nor any Member thereof shall be liable to any Owner for any damage, loss or prejudice suffered or claimed on account of any mistakes in judgment, negligence or nonfeasance arising out of (a) the approval or disapproval of any plans, drawings and specifications, whether or not defective; (b) the construction or performance of any work, whether or not pursuant to approved plans drawings or specifications.

ARTICLE V

Minimum Construction Standards

The following minimum construction standards must be observed in constructing any dwelling structure and related improvements on any Lot unless a variance is applied for and granted by the Committee in accordance with Article IV, Section 4.6, above:

Section 5.1 View Corridors. To the extent practical, views from common living areas as defined herein shall be preserved. When plans for construction of a new dwelling, outbuilding or addition are being developed, the views from other Lots shall be considered to the greatest extent possible for preserving views of the lighthouse, white water, blue water, mountains, headlands, meadow and pond.

All proposed construction that affects views shall be subject to the prior approval of the Committee.

Section 5.2 Minimum Building Size.

Units One, Two, Three, Four, Seven and Seven A: No single family dwelling shall be constructed which contains less than 800 square feet of interior ground floor space and less than 1200 feet of total floor space.

Future Annexations: Building size in all future defined Units shall not be less than 1200 square feet of interior ground floor space.

The interior ground floor space as defined herein, does not include garage, porch or deck area. The Committee may issue a written variance to this construction standard if topographic, aesthetic or environmental concerns necessitate a lesser number of square feet on the ground floor.

Section 5.3 Set-Back Requirements. a) All structures shall be at least 20 feet from any street line and at least six feet from any side line or area line. The term "area line" shall mean a boundary line which is not a street line and does not extend to any street line, and the term "side line" shall mean a boundary line that is not a street line but which does intersect to a street line.

b)In addition to the foregoing, no dwelling hereafter constructed shall be closer than 28 feet in Units One and Two or 32 feet in all other Units plus the number of additional feet that the Committee may have granted through a height variance.

c)If the dwelling to be constructed is not adjacent to a Lot containing another dwelling, the Committee shall impose the fore going set back requirements with respect to adjacent Building Envelopes to the greatest extent possible so that substantial construction restrictions do not affect adjacent Lots.

d)The Committee may waive the additional requirements of paragraphs b) and c) above if it finds a variance is requested and granted under the provisions of Article IV, Section 4.6.

Section 5.4 Height Limitations.

Unit One, Two: Except as hereinafter provided, no part of the roof of a structure shall exceed the height of a horizontal plane 16 feet above the mean natural grade at any point on the perimeter foundation. On steeply sloping Lots, that have a fall of five (5) feet within the natural contour of the property within the foundation perimeter, the architectural design shall incorporate mitigating factors such as stepping the roof and foundation to reduce the impact of the bulk of the structure.

Other Units: Except as hereinafter provided, no part of the roof of a structure shall exceed the height of a horizontal plane 20 feet above the mean natural grade at any point on the perimeter foundation. On steeply sloping Lots, that have a fall of five (5) feet within the natural contour of the property within the foundation perimeter, the architectural design shall incorporate mitigating factors such as stepping the roof and foundation to reduce the impact of the bulk of the structure.

The Committee shall be entitled to grant variances to the height limits set forth if the topography of a Lot is such that it places an impractical hardship on an applicant or requires a change to preserve view corridors from other Lots and mitigate visual intrusion upon neighboring Lots. Variances can be used to either reduce or raise the height of a structure. Architectural design mitigation shall be proposed by the applicant receiving a variance to most appropriately blend the structure into the community. For Lots within the Properties that are severely restricted in their development potential due to standards for septic systems in conjunction with height restrictions, the Committee may grant variances to the height limit on Lots where the Committee finds that the variance will have little impact on the views from surrounding Lots. The variance shall not exceed one and one half stories in units with a 16 foot height restriction nor two stories in units with a 20 foot height restriction and in each instance the applicant shall use architectural mitigating factors to lower the profile of the structure.

Section 5.5 Retaining Walls Construction of walls over three (3) feet in height designed to hold back earth for erosion and drainage control must be designed or approved by a licensed engineer and requires the approval of the Committee prior to construction.

Section 5.6 Fences. No fence shall be constructed on any lot or property within the Properties which materially obstructs a view from any other Lot within the Properties. Solid property line fences shall not be permitted. To preserve the open feeling of the Properties, privacy or screening fences shall be in close proximity and in architectural harmony with the residence and constructed of wood material. Deer fences of green laminated wire to protect garden areas may be permitted if they are screened from neighboring properties and public ways. Any fence construction shall be first submitted to the Committee for approval of area to be enclosed, materials to be used and height.

Section 5.7 Off-Street Parking. Residence construction proposals shall include the location of a two-car garage, whether to be constructed or not, so that its impact may be measured by the Committee during the initial review process. All new residences must include a two car garage or off-street parking for a minimum of two cars. Off-street parking shall be screened from view from the street and adjoining properties. The Committee shall grant variances if the Lot size does not permit compliance with the above.

Section 5.8 Painting Limitations. All exterior paints and stains should be in muted tones consistent with neighboring structures, and in colors commonly found daily in the surrounding natural environment. A sample of the paint or stain must be submitted to the Committee for approval on all initial

painting. A sample must also be submitted for repainting if the desire is to substantially change the color previously approved. The sample must be on a piece of wood at least 6 inches square.

Section 5.9 Window and Door Materials. All window and door frames shall be of materials that can withstand the rigors of the coastal environment and finished to match or complement in muted tones the exterior color of the structure.

Section 5.10 Limitations on Roofing Materials. Roofs shall be fire proof or fire resistant architectural grade shingles in muted tones that provide a relief appearance similar to wood shakes. The slope of a roof should be a minimum of four inches in 12 inches, unless the Committee finds that a variation from this is necessary because of the contour of the Lot or because of view considerations from other Lots. Flues should be sheathed to within 12 inches of the top of the flue and to within 4 inches of the peak of the roof.

Section 5.11 Garages and Outbuildings. Garages and other outbuildings erected on any Lot shall be similar in construction quality and architectural design to the dwellings located on the Lot and must conform to the other restrictions contained in this Article.

Section 5.12 Exterior Lighting. All exterior lights must be sheltered or housed in such a way that no light will shine directly into any window of any neighboring Lot within the Properties.

Section 5.13 Antennas and/or Satellite Dishes.

In order to ensure adequate aesthetic controls and to maintain the general attractive appearance of the Properties every Owner shall obtain a permit from the Committee for any Antenna/Satellite Dish that exceeds 18 inches in height or 18 inches in diameter. Roof top installation should be avoided unless it is the only location that provides access to the desired signal.

Section 5.14 Drainage. No Owner shall do any work, construct any improvement, place any landscaping or suffer the existence of any condition whatsoever which shall alter or interfere with the drainage pattern for the Owner's Lot or any adjacent Lots or Common Area, except to the extent such alteration in drainage pattern is approved in writing by the Committee.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Common Area. IBIC shall be solely responsible for all maintenance, repair, upkeep and replacement within the Common Area. No person other than IBIC or its duly authorized agents shall construct, reconstruct, refinish, alter or maintain any improvement upon, or shall make or create any excavation or fill or change the natural or existing drainage of the Common Area. In addition, no person shall destroy, remove or plant any tree, shrub or other vegetation upon the Common Area without the express approval of IBIC.

Without limiting the foregoing, IBIC shall be responsible for:

(a) The reconstruction, replacement, or refinishing of any Common Facility or other improvements upon Common Area as necessary in accordance with the original design, finish or standard of construction of such improvement.

(b) The construction, reconstruction, replacement, refinishing of any road or surface upon any portion of Common Area designated on any Subdivision Map as a private road or parking area.

(c) The replacement of trees or other vegetation and the planting of trees, shrubs and ground cover upon any portion of Common Area.

(d) Erosion control and drainage projects within the Common Area.

(e) The placement and maintenance of such signs as IBIC may deem necessary for the identification of, the regulation and use of Common Area and Common Facilities.

Section 6.2 Owner Maintenance Responsibility.

Each Owner shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of his or her Residence and Lot, including without limitation all buildings and other structures, landscaping and drainage.

ARTICLE VII

Property Use Restrictions

In addition to restrictions established by law the following restrictions are hereby imposed upon the use of the individual Lots and other portions of the Properties and to the extent applicable, an Owner is responsible for his/her Tenants in abiding by the restrictions:

Section 7.1 Enforcement Owners who have a dispute with fellow property owners with respect to the interpretation and/or enforcement of the Property Use Restrictions in this Article must first attempt informal agreement. If these efforts do not result in agreement, Owners have the option to submit their disputes to the Committee for mediation under this Article. Mediation may be a requirement for recovery of attorneys fees in an enforcement through any legal proceeding (see California Code of Civil Procedure, Sec. 1354(f)). The Committee shall conduct the mediation in a private hearing with the disputing property owners. If the dispute is unresolved thereafter, every owner has a right to take legal action to correct any perceived violations of the following restrictions by another Owner if they directly affect the use and enjoyment of his property.

Section 7.2 Penalties, Costs and Attorneys Fees. In bringing an enforcement action the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. In the event that judgement is entered for the plaintiff, the court shall assess, in addition to any other costs and monetary awards, a compliance fee against the defendant in an amount not to exceed $10,000 which shall be deposited with the Treasurer of IBIC and released to the defendant when the defendant has fully complied with the court’s order.

Section 7.3 Single Family Residential Use.

(a) Except as provided in subparagraph (b) below, the use of the individual Lots on the Properties is hereby restricted to Single Family Residential Use. Accordingly, only one single family dwelling shall be placed, constructed or maintained on any Lot within the Properties.

(b) The following Lots shall not be subject to the general restriction of Lots to single family residential use set forth in subparagraph (a) above: Lot 96 of Unit One may be used as

a real estate office and one or two appurtenant Lots within the Properties may be used as an IBIC office and meeting facility.

(c) No residence in any manner shall be occupied or lived in until the exterior is made to comply with the requirements set forth herein. No building or structure anywhere on any property, other than a completed dwelling, shall ever be used as a residence or rental, including mobile homes, recreational vehicles, campers, tents, shacks, outbuildings or other structures. Nothing herein shall prohibit a contractor's tool house (or privy) and his equipment being used during construction and then removed. Such contractor facilities and equipment shall be placed wholly within the Lot under construction. No overnight camping shall be permitted on any Lot.

Section 7.4 Lots. Each Lot shall be conveyed as a separately designated and legally described fee simple estate subject to this Declaration. No buildings shall be moved from other locations onto any Lot. All Lots, whether occupied or unoccupied, and the Residences and other improvements constructed thereon, shall at all times be maintained in such a manner as to prevent their becoming unsightly or hazardous to other Properties by reason of the accumulation of rubbish, debris, brush and tree trimmings or unsightly growth thereon. All structures, fences and landscaping shall be located and maintained in a manner not

inconsistent with the criteria defined by Articles IV, V and VI of this Declaration.

Section 7.5 Trees. The tree height limit will be 20 feet in units One and Two, and 35 feet in the balance of the Properties. Trees may exceed these height limitations if the greater height will not impair the views as defined in Article V, Section 5.1 or deny sunlight to other properties.

Trees that create a fire hazard or are prone to cause other damage during wind storms, such as Monterey Pine or most species of Eucalyptus, are not advised. Owners should consult any local nursery for native trees and shrubs suitable for the coastal environment.

Section 7.6 Landscaping. All landscaping on any Lot in the Properties should be based on how it will impact views from other Lots as it matures. The maturation impact of trees should be a prime consideration for choosing the variety and placement.

(a) Preservation of views from neighboring Lots shall be given priority over aesthetic consideration in landscaping. No trees, shrubs, other vegetation, or change in grade shall be planted, placed or maintained on any Lot or property within the Properties which obstructs the view from any other Common Living Area or potential Building Envelope within the Properties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, landscaping to prevent erosion shall be permitted providing, however, that such landscaping shall comply with all height limitations otherwise stated herein.

(b) Immediately following construction of any Residence, the Owner shall cause the land owned by him between the building and the street line to be suitably planted and maintained except for those areas used for walks or driveways. All disturbed ground shall be re-seeded and leveled to a natural slope within six months of disturbance. Native and evergreen plants are the most desirable.

Section 9.4 Cumulative Remedies. The Respective rights and remedies provided by this Declaration or by law shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude or affect the exercise, at the same or at different times, of any other such rights or remedies for the same or any different default or breach or for the same or any different failure of any Owner or others to perform or observe any provision of this Declaration.

Section 9.5 Failure Not a Waiver. The failure of any Owner or the Committee to enforce any of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations, reservations, grants of easements, rights, rights-of-way, liens, charges or equitable servitude contained in this Declaration shall not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce the same thereafter, nor shall such

failure result in or impose any liability upon IBIC or the Board, or any of its officers or agents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any act, omission, construction or use with prior Committee (or it predecessor) approval or under variance shall be deemed permitted and not subject to later enforcement for failure to comply.
