list of documents required for clearance of plans will be provided by the Syndic or MC. Procedure for

from the Syndic/ MC. Recycling of glass, plastic, paper and green refuse will be organized by the Syndic/

Plots, the building location and design must be first approved by the Syndic/ MC. Any proposed building
design must ensure that the location, scale and mass of building are consistent with adjoining plots/
buildings and not unduly large, obtrusive or unneighbourly.

No further subdivision (parcelling) of plots will be allowed.

CODE 2. Roof Types and Slopes
The minimum slope for any roof is 18 degrees and the maximum is 33 degrees.

CODE 3. Roof Materials and Colours

CODE 4. Towers in Harmony
A select number of lots will be allowed to construct a 3 storey tower up to 11.0m high and of maximum
3.8m width.

The design for all towers must first be submitted to the Harmony Syndic/ MC for review and approval
prior to any construction.

CODE 5. Building Heights
Two storey buildings must not exceed a total height of 6.5m to eaves and 9m to roof ridge. Select plots
also have the opportunity for an optional three story tower up to 3.80 meters square (150 sq m) and up to
11m high.

Single storey homes may have taller walls up to 4.50 meters maximum for the main home. Wings and
porch extensions should be limited to 3.50 meters to retain the visual importance (massing) of the main
living space inside and out. Any future proposed additional floors to be added to a 4.5m high single storey
building would require the resultant two storeys building to be no higher than 6.5m to eaves and 9m to
roof ridge.

CODE 6. Building Lines and Lot coverage


Depending on the plot size, Harmony plots provide for 3 to 4 metre building setbacks all around, allowing
ample light and air circulation, while providing for between 30% and 40% lot coverage for the ground floor
of the building.

All homes are required to front no less than 50% of the front building line.

CODE 7. Garages, Storage Buildings, and Home Offices

A special option built in the master plan and available to everyone, is the ability to build a garage, storage
shed, or home office * in a portion of the side yard setback (Garage Encroachment Area) right to the
property line.

* Definition of Home Office
A small scale enterprise/ office activity that is carried out in the home without modification of the
dwelling and provided the following criteria are satisfied:
Daily vehicle movement to the site are limited
There is no adverse external nuisance by way of noise, dust, fumes etc
Loading and unloading is not disruptive to the residential amenity of Harmony
The operator of the enterprise/ office resides on the premises
Adequate on lot parking is available
All materials can be safely and unobtrusively stored on site

In summary, the nature and character of the property must remain residential.
Reference: The Building and Land Use Permit Guide

One or two walls of a one storey out-building can be built centred (maximum 0.3 metre wide wall) on the
property line within the planned Garage Encroachment Area designated on each plot. The exterior walls
of the building now become part of the perimeter privacy walls. The wall surface that faces the
neighbouring lot becomes part of the neighbours privacy wall.

Buildings that touch one wall should have a gable roof that slopes into the owners lot channelling all
rainwater appropriately within the owners property and not into the neighbours. The gable roof may not
extend beyond the property line or overhang neighbouring plots.

Buildings that touch two walls should have a shed roof that slopes into the owners lot channelling all
rainwater appropriately within the owners property and not into neighbouring plots.

An out-building may also be semi-attached to the main home and still be able to be built within the
Garage Encroachment Area. The restrictions of use (garage, household storage, or home office) apply to
any area of an out building built within the Garage Encroachment Area regardless of whether it is
attached or detached from the main home. The maximum length of any building facade within the Garage
Encroachment Area and fronting adjoining plots or public space must not exceed 10m.

CODE 8. On Lot Parking and Access to Site
No permanent street parking is admissible unless approved by the Syndic/ MC.



Minimum provision must be made for no less than 2 cars per individual plot.

No alteration is to be made to the individual plot access laid out by the developer without the prior
approval of the Syndic/ MC.

CODE 9. Lot Enclosure and Boundary Treatments
Along public roads low walls are provided. A fence erected upon the wall shall comply with the design
codes within the Cahier des Charges and should not exceed an average height of 1.8m. The combination
of wall/ fence and hedges/ planting is preferred.

For side and rear boundaries walls should not exceed 2m except where they are an integral part of an
outbuilding/ garage in compliance with CODE 7.

CODE 10. Services
A service hub is provided for each lot by the developer.

No pipe work should be visible on external walls - plans should clearly show internal ducts as necessary.

Solar water heaters are recommended and can be fixed either on the plane of the pitched roof with the
water tank hidden, discreetly located on flat roofs, or at ground level within an enclosed courtyard.

Electricity and Telephone: all reticulation to be underground

Television aerial and satellite dishes to be discreet and unobtrusive.

Gas bottles must not be visible. They must either be concealed within a service court, an enclosed
cupboard or similar.

Simple pitched roofs are mandatory. No more than 20% of the building footprint measured on roof plan
may be flat roof. The flat roof areas must occupy the least visible areas of the lot and should be used to
discreetly accommodate such items as water tanks, solar water heaters, aerials, satellite dishes etc.

CODE 11. Obligations of the Owners
The plot is to be maintained, kept clean and clear at all times if not built upon. The Harmony Syndic/ MC
will maintain the lots if not done by the owner, at the owners cost and such costs duly added to those
payable by the owner to the Syndic/ MC.
