No building or other improvement of any character shall be erected or placed, or the erection or placing thereof commenced, or changes made in the design thereof or any addition made thereto or exterior alteration made therein after original construction plans and approval (as hereinafter provided) of the construction plans and specifications and a plat showing the location of such building or other improvements. Approval shall be granted or withheld based on matters of compliance with the provisions of this instrument, quality of materials, harmony of the external design with existing and proposed structures and location with respect to topography and finished grade elevation.\n(a) The authority to grant or withhold architectural control approval as referred to above is vested in the Grantor; except, however, that such authority of the Grantor shall cease and terminate upon the election of the Tahitian Village Architectural Control Committee, in which event such authority shall be vested in and exercised by the Tahitian Village Architectural Control Committee (as provided in \u201c(b)\u201d below), hereinafter referred to, except as to plans and specifications and plats theretofore submitted to the Grantor which shall continue to exercise such authority over all such plans, specifications and plats.\n(b) At such time as 75% of the lots in the Subdivision and in all others sections of Tahitian Village (as platted, from time to time, hereafter) shall have been sold by the Grantor, the Grantor shall cause a statement of such circumstances to be placed of record in the Deed Records of Bastrop County Texas. Thereupon, the owners in Tahitian Village may by vote as hereinafter provided, elect a committee of five (5) members to be known as the Tahitian Village Architectural Control Committee (hereinafter referred to as the \u201cCommittee\u201d). Each member of the Committee must be an owner of property in some section of Tahitian Village. Each lot owner shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each whole lot of building site composed of more than one (1) whole lot; such building site owner shall be entitled to one\n(1) vote for each whole lot contained within such building site. The Grantor shall be obligated to arrange for the holding of such election within sixty (60) days following the filing of the aforesaid statement by the Grantor in the Deed Records of Bastrop County, Texas, and give notice of the time and place of such election (which shall be in Bastrop County, Texas) not less than five (5) days prior to the holding thereof. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to require that the Grantor actually file any such statement so long as it has not subdivided and sold the entirety of the property, nor to affect the time at which the Grantor might take such action, if, in fact, the Grantor does take such action. The results of each such election shall promptly be determined on the basis of the majority of those owners then voting in such election. After the first such election shall have been held, thereafter the Committee shall be obligated to arrange for elections (in the manner and after notice as set forth above) for the removal and /or replacement of Committee members when so requested in writing by thirty (30) or more lot owners in the Subdivision. Members of the Committee may, at any time, be relieved of their position and substitute members therefore designated by vote as set forth above. Upon the death, resignation, refusal or inability of any member of the Committee to serve, the remaining members of the Committee shall fill the vacancy by appointment, pending an election as hereinabove provided for.\n6.03. Approval or disapproval as to architectural control matters as set forth in the preceding provisions shall be in writing. In the event that the authority exercising the prerogative of approval or disapproval (whether the Grantor or the Committee) fails to approve or disapprove in writing any plans and specifications and plat submitted to it in thirty (30) days following such submission, such plans and specifications and plat shall be deemed approved and the construction of any such building and other improvements may be commenced and proceeded with in compliance with all such plans and specifications and plat and all of the other terms and provisions hereof.\n6.04. The granting of the aforesaid approval shall constitute only an expression of opinion, whether by the Grantor of the Committee, that the terms and provisions hereof shall be complied with if the building and/or other improvements are erected in accordance with said plans and specifications and plat; and such approval shall not constitute any nature of waiver or estoppel either as to the persons expressing such approval or any other person in the event that such building and/or improvements are not constructed in accordance with such plans and specifications and plat. Further, no person exercising any prerogative of approval or disapproval shall incur any liability by reason of the good faith exercise thereof. Exercise of any such prerogative by one (1) or more members of the Committee in their capacity as such shall not constitute action by the Grantor after the election of such Committee members, notwithstanding that any such Committee member may be a director of the Grantor.", "snippet_links": [{"key": "the-design", "type": "clause", "offset": [149, 159]}, {"key": "exterior-alteration",

Any Owner requesting the approval of the Architectural Committee shall also submit to the Architectural Committee any additional information, plans and specifications which the Architectural Committee may request. If the Architectural Committee fails to approve or disapprove an application for approval within sixty (60) days after the application, together with all supporting information, plans and specifications requested by the Architectural Committee have been submitted to it, approval will not be required and this Section will be deemed to have been complied with by the Owner who had requested approval of such plans.\n(E) Without curtailing the right of the Architectural Committee to reject certain requests or employ judgment in evaluating requests, the following guidelines shall be considered when evaluating requests regarding fences. Even in the event of strict compliance with the following guidelines, prior written approval from the Architectural Committee shall be required for each and every fence installation.\n(i) Any fence installed on a Lot within the Property must have a uniform maximum height of no more than six feet (6\u2019) above the sod level.\n(ii) Any fence must be made entirely of one of the following materials:\n(a) PVC; (b) wrought iron; or (c) aluminum rail.\n(iii) All fences comprised of PVC shall be beige in color, or painted beige in color within thirty (30) days of installation. All fences comprised of wrought iron or aluminum rail shall be black in color or painted black in color within thirty (30) days of installation.\n(iv) No fence shall be approved or installed which encroaches into Common Area or other Lots.\n(v) No fence shall be approved or installed which extends in front of the front wall of the Residential Unit or beyond the rear wall of the Residential Unit without the prior approval of the Architectural Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fence shall be approved or installed beyond the rear wall of a Residential Unit on either (A) a Lot upon which a Water Feature, as defined in Section 3.1.1 hereof, is located or that shares a boundary line with a tract or parcel upon which a Water Feature is located or (B) a Lot upon which a conservation easement is located or that shares a boundary line with a tract or parcel on which a conservation easement is located, unless such fence is comprised of wrought iron or open aluminum rail, black in color or painted to be black in color within thirty (30) days of installation, and has a uniform maximum height of no more than five feet (5\u2019) above the sod level.\n(F) The approval by the Architectural Committee of any construction, installation, addition, alteration, repair, change, or other work pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed a waiver of the Architectural Committee\u2019s right to withhold approval of any similar construction, installation, addition, alteration, repair, change, or other work subsequently submitted for approval.\n(G) Upon receipt of approval from the Architectural Committee for any construction, installation, addition, alteration, repair, change, or other work, the Owner who obtained such approval shall proceed to perform, construct or make the construction, installation, addition, alteration, repair, change or other work approved by the Architectural Committee as soon as practicable and shall diligently pursue such work so that it is completed as soon as reasonably practical and within such time as may be prescribed by the Architectural Committee.\n(H) The approval of the Architectural Committee required by this Section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the requirements of and any approvals, consents, or permits required under the ordinances or rules and regulations of any county or municipality having jurisdiction over the Property.\n(I) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to, and approval of the Architectural Committee shall not be required for, the construction, erection, installation, addition, alteration, repair, change, or replacement of any Improvements made by, or on behalf of, the Declarant.\n(J) In no event shall the Association, the Board, the Declarant, the Architectural Committee, any member of the Architectural Committee, or any director, officer, manager, member, employee or agent thereof have any liability for any action or inaction by the Architectural Committee or its members, including without limitation any approval or disapproval of plans by the Architectural Committee. The sole remedy for an Owner asserting that the Architectural Committee has improperly withheld approval or has improperly granted approval shall be an action to compel the Architectural Committee to take appropriate action. In no event shall any damages of any nature be awarded against the Association, the Architectural Committee or any member of the Architectural Committee arising from any action or inaction described in this Section 5.23. Every person who submits plans for approval, by submission of such plans and specifications, agrees that it will not bring any action or suit for damages against the Association, Board, Declarant, Architectural Committee, any member of the Architectural Committee, or any director, officer, employee, manager, member or agent thereof.\n(K) Each Owner is strongly advised to consult with independent architects and engineers to ensure that all Improvements or alterations made by such Owner are safe and in compliance with applicable governmental requirements. No approval by the Architectural Committee shall constitute a guaranty or warranty by the Association, the Architectural Committee or any member of the Architectural Committee that the matters approved will comply with this Declaration, any Association Rules or architectural guidelines, or any applicable governmental requirements or that any plans or Improvements are safe or properly designed. The Owner constructing or altering any Improvements shall indemnify, defend and hold the Association harmless from (i) any claims or damages of any nature arising from such Improvements or alterations or any approval thereof by the Architectural Committee and (ii) any claim that the Association, the Architectural Committee or any member of the Architectural Committee breached any duty to other Owners in issuing approval of such Owner\u2019s Improvements or alterations.", "snippet_links": [{"key": "control-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [52, 62]}, {"key": "with-the-exception-of",
