AMENDMENT NUMBER 11 - 3 Jun 2010

Type IIIC Houses

Erf 4 Garlington allows for a Type IIIC house, which entitles the owner to build a single storey or single storey and loft house, with a maximum wall plate height of 4.8 metres and a maximum height of 7 metres from the finished ground level to the ridge of the roof. The finished floor level may not be built more than 450mm above natural ground level.

In the case of Erven 2, 3 and 4 the following applies:

1. The house may be a double storey on the basis that the owner may build a basement and a ground floor. The ridge of the roof must, however, not exceed the height that it would have been, had it been a loft house.

2. The ridge of the roof shall not be more than one metre higher than the centre of Umgenyane Road, measured at the highest point along the road boundary. Relaxations of this rule may be granted by GARC in special circumstances.

In all cases, GARC’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties.

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 12 - 11 Aug 2010

Type III and IV Houses

As a guide, the building committee will encourage buildings to be built not more than approximately 400mm above natural ground level. Each site shall be considered individually, taking into account the slope, and in particular the views of others and house design, as well as the overall height of buildings.

GARC is the sole arbitrator on any matter relating to the code and in particular will give careful consideration to the height above natural ground level when it impacts on views of the privacy of others.

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 13 - 03 Sept 2010

Windows

While the Type II House windows are controlled by Clause 14 of the code on Page 19 and the Type III and IV House windows are controlled by Clause 14 on Pages 34 and 35, GARC would, however, like to add the following:

1.While openings are one of the most important aspects of the Code, it is, however, important to note that architects are encouraged to build buildings of quality and if the window proportions and/or types are inappropriate for a particular building and in particular in the case of modern buildings, variances may be applied for and are encouraged.

2.When applying for variances, motivation is required and GARC will look at such motivations in a sympathetic light, it being the objective of GARC to encourage buildings of quality. We refer to the Code which states: “In the case of contemporary homes, windows must complement the design and need not necessarily have vertical proportions.” The same comment applies to modern designs in the Type II Houses.

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 14 - 04 Feb 2011

Garages Type III & IV Houses

More than two garages will be allowed in the same building if the openings face into a private motor court, which is not easily visible from the road, nor from other properties.

AMENDMENT NUMBER 15 - 10 Mar 2011

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 16 - 11 Mar 2011

Fences for Type III & IV Houses

All houses which border on Umgenyane Road (both Type III and Type IV) are obliged to erect post and rail fences on the road boundary.

In the case of all other fences, they shall be wire fences with CCA treated posts, which may not exceed 1 400mm. These fences may be bonnex, four or five wire strands, or of such wire configuration as may be approved by GARC from time to time.

In the case of the fences on the road boundaries, variations to the fence shall be allowed but prior approval to any variation must first be obtained from GARC. Post and rail fencing must, however, be incorporated into any design of the road boundary fencing.

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 17 - 11 Mar 2011

Pitches of roofs

Noted that on research, a large number of the old Cape Dutch Farm Houses, had a pitch of 47º to 52º.

GARC confirms that where views will not be impacted negatively, the pitch may be increased to 52º. This will, however, have to be done on the basis of architectural merit, so when submitting, GARC must be satisfied that the higher pitch improves the proportions of the building.

______________________________________________________________

AMENDMENT NUMBER 18 - 1 Apr 2011

TYPES II, III & IV                                  ACCENT PAINT COLOURS

GARC will allow three accent colours to be used on Type II, III and IV Houses. Prior approval of the usage of these colours, which may only be used on minor elements, must be obtained from GARC. In addition, these accent colours may not be used on plaster bands.

The three accent colours to be used, which have been approved by GARC are from the Dulux Weatherguard Range and are:

• Stoneware
• Nightingale Grey
• Chalk Stone

No exceptions to these paint colours, or type of paint, will be allowed.

GARC will also consider window and door colours in dark blue and mid-grey. However, the colour to be used must first be submitted to and approved by GARC, before it may be used.

Please ensure that you/your client obtain approval from GARC prior to utilising these colours
