To: Great Island Homeowner's
From: Continuing Care Management

This memo is to remind all Great Island Homeowner's that any and all modifications to the outside of your home as well as modifications to your landscaping and grounds must have prior approval from the Great Island Homeowners Association and The Pinehills. Changes to common area landscaping are not authorized. Please send all requests to:

Continuing Care Management
5 Lyman Street
Westborough, MA 01581

In the event there are landscaping modifications without approval from both the Great Island Homeowners Association and The Pinehills, the homeowner may be required to restore the area item in question back to its original state. In addition, the Homeowners Association may be assessing fines in the future for noncompliance.

The following are extracts from the Design Guidelines which you all signed when you purchased your homes:

B. Private Area

1. The Private Area of each lot is defined as the area between the minimum side setback lines, behind the (twenty foot {20'}) front setback line and in front of the (ten foot {1 a'}) rear setback line, as such setbacks are described on Appendix A. Private Area also includes all portions of the lot within three feet (3') of the front service walk as originally installed by Del Webb, regardless of whether these areas are within the setback boundaries.

2. To preserve attractive view corridors and promote efficient landscape maintenance, no installation of landscape, hardscape materials or other improvements, (other than room additions and underground sprinkler systems if otherwise approved under the review procedures described in these guidelines) by Home Owners shall be approved for any portion of the lot outside the Private Area.

C. Landscaping Requirements and Guidelines

2. Certain areas have been designated as open space, wetland or preserve on neighborhood plots and shall be maintained as required by regulatory authorities and as described in specific permit conditions and in the Supplemental Declaration. No Home Owner or resident may mow, fertilize, apply pesticides to, maintain, alter or modify any area not owned by the Home Owner, including areas set aside as open space or preserve.

The Board of Directors has requested the Advisory Committee and the Landscaping Committee to review all landscaping modifications not in compliance with the approvals currently granted by Great Island and The Pinehills.

Thanks you for your cooperation in this effort.
