"Minimum Cash Contribution Amounts".
2. CITY acknowledges and agrees that the nineteen and one-half acre

4. In the event the CITY's cash contribution ordinance, or any other
ordinance of the CITY relating to cash contributions for schools, parks,

law to be found unenforceable and all appeals have been exhausted,
OWNER agrees to pay, subsequent to such final court action, the
Minimum Cash Contribution Amounts set forth in this Agreement. In
the event such final court order requires the CITY or School Districts

ordinances, OWNER expressly agrees to allow the CITY or School
Districts to retain the Minimum Cash Contribution Amounts previously
paid by the OWNER. It is the express intent of the OWNER to release

the Minimum Cash Contribution Amount paid pursuant to this
paragraph under any circumstances.

accordance with the CITY ordinances in existence and as amended from time

(5) Distribution. That portion of these fees to be distributed to the schools, as
determined exclusively by the CITY, may be distributed for the benefit of
some or all schools within School Districts 15 and 156, at the discretion of the

Districts, they may be used for operating expenses at those schools within
School Districts 15 and 156, as directed by the City Council, at the time of
distribution. In the event a distribution agreement in a form approved by the
CITY is not executed by the School Districts prior to distribution of said funds
to the School Districts, the CITY may retain the entire amount paid pursuant
to this paragraph for CITY use. Nothing herein is intended to create third
party beneficiary rights in School Districts 15 and 156 or the Library District.
(6) Annual Adjustment. At the end of each one-year period, with the first one-
year period beginning May 1, 2001, the fees referenced in the preceding

COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Introduction
The purpose of these architectural standards is to define the criteria that will
guide development at Shamrock Farm. Like any community, Shamrock Farm will
grow gradually over a period of years. Its ultimate form will reflect the numerous
design decisions of builders and their design teams. These standards are
intended to provide the foundation upon which Shamrock Farm will emerge.
The architectural standards have been prepared to assist builders, planners,
architects, engineers and landscape architects to become active participants in
the design process, and to assure long term community quality. They are not
intended to limit development choices or design alternatives, but rather to
encourage creativity, innovation, and architectural diversity, while creating a
blend of home styles which will enhance the community environment. The
ultimate result will be to heighten property values while creating a cohesive
residential character and appeal.
These standards have been adopted pursuant to the Shamrock Farm Declaration
of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions & Easements. All building and
development at Shamrock Farm must conform with these architectural
standards, the Shamrock Farm Annexation Agreement, and the City of McHenry
building code and zoning ordinance where these ordinances do not conflict
with the Annexation Agreement.
The Review Process
The standards also outline an efficient and equitable review process that will be
administered by the Shamrock Farm Architectural Review Committee. The ARC
has been established in recorded documents governing the project, for the
purpose of implementing the Architectural Standards.
A representative of the Architectural Review Committee is available to help you
interpret the standards, offering suggestions about your housing concepts. We
urge you to meet with the Architectural Review Committee representative as early
as possible to assist in your decision to build at Shamrock Farm.

COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The Architectural Review Committee
All proposed building and development within the overall community of
Shamrock Farm must be reviewed and approved by the Shamrock Farm
Architectural Review Committee prior to seeking City approval.
The Architectural Review Committee consists of three members appointed by the
Shamrock Farm Development L.L.C. The committee will review each builder's
development package for conformance to Shamrock Farm architectural
standards, and will review individual home owner's submittals using the same
standards.
All reviews, substitutions and approvals by the Architectural Review Committee
will be considered binding and final.
Representatives of the Architectural Review Committee will stay intact as a
functional governing body until such time that the entire Shamrock Farm
community is 85 % complete. At such time, review and authoritative power will be
transferred to the Shamrock Farm Homeowners Association.
The Architectural Review Committee will have authority over both new
construction and exterior remodels, additions and other improvements.
The Architectural Standards should be used as a tool by each submitting builder
or homeowner for making decisions on their neighborhood, product and
planning design schemes. To obtain specific information on the requirements
and procedures for design review contact Shamrock Farm Development L.L.C.

Community Character
Shamrock Farm is a planned 600 acre community located in the rolling
farmlands in the lakes region of McHenry County. Eventually it will be home to
approximately 761 new residences surrounded by many parks and natural
areas.
Shamrock Farm is envisioned as a new multi -use community intended to
provide a comfortable and rewarding environment in which to live and play. A
coherent and orderly pattern of "neighborhoods", natural open space, and
planned amenities will merge with the site's natural characteristics, beauty,
and history.
Curran and Draper Roads are the roadways that will provide convenient
access to this 600 acre community.,A new internal roadway system will
connect the various residential neighborhoods and provide easy access to the
remainder of the community's amenities.
A key recreational element will be the Shamrock Farm Club. This facility will
feature year-round activities and entertainment for all residents at Shamrock
Farm.

COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Community Design Theme
Over 160 acres of open space have been incorporated into the Shamrock
Farm plan. The open space protects the environmentally sensitive and
naturally occurring wetland and drainageway system on site. Adjacent to the
open wetlands will be walking and biking trails and preserves, lakes, parks,
scenic views, natural areas, and passive recreational areas. These permanent
open space areas constitute more than 30% of the Shamrock Farm plan.
Each Shamrock Farm neighborhood entry will provide a sense of it being a
special place, highlighted with a landscaped monument. Coordinated signage
throughout the community is designed to project a high quality hometown
image, in keeping with the tradition of the land..
As mentioned, Shamrock Farm will develop as a planned community. Like
many cities, a wide variety of housing types and land uses will be provided.
This mix will create a unified small town feeling among the future residents of
this diversified community. The parks, lakes, and open space in the
community will offer opportunities for community events and friendly social
interaction.
It is the goal of the Developer to offer a variety of home designs and life-style
choices from area builders who have a reputation for quality craftsmanship.

COMMUNINY ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
General Site Development Guidelines
A Final Development Plan for each single family neighborhood has been approved by the City. While
final development plans have also been approved for multifamily neighborhoods, where possible each
Builder is free to alter specific multifamily neighborhood plans so long as it is consistent with the spirit
of these guidelines and the overall theme of the community, matches the type of land use purchased,
does not deleteriously affect surrounding neighborhoods, is approved by the Developer, the ARC, and
the City, and otherwise complies with all applicable rules and regulations. Where a Builder seeks to
alter any neighborhood plan, the following general framework of site design and improvement
guidelines has been developed to ensure the successful integration of each neighborhood into the
overall community.
• Common community design elements will be
repeated to integrate each neighborhood into
the overall community.
• The siting of the buildings and improvements
should focus on maintaining "quality views".
• Site Planning must consider the context of the
neighborhood within the community: The
placement of buildings and streets, grading
design, landscaping and buffer yard locations,
and relationships to adjacent properties.
• Vacant homesites shall be kept free of all
rubble and debris and mowed at a height not
to exceed 8".
• Trees that are to be preserved are to be
protected to the limit of their roots from
construction equipment by fencing off with
temporary snow fence for protection. Fenced
in areas shall not be used for any type of
material storage or use other than as a root
protection zone.
• Building setbacks are established in the
McHenry Zoning Ordinance, and shall be the
minimum allowed.
• All improvements shall conform to the overall
approved Final engineering plan.
• Effective erosion control measures shall exist
throughout the construction phase of each
neighborhood, consistent with the erosion
control plan in the Utility Plan. These
measures may include temporary swales,
berms, siltation fences, straw bales, and
temporary sedimentation ponds. All erosion
control devices and protective fencing shall be
maintained at all times.
• All grading shall comply with overall
stormwater management and wetland
mitigation plans.
• Site and drainage plans must be designed to
prevent run-off, protect wetlands and insure
proper retention/detention.
• The visual impact of parked automobiles shall
be minimized where applicable through
careful siting and screening of roads and
parking areas.
• Any proposed changes to site and/or
engineering plans must be reviewed and
approved by the Developer, the ARC, and the
City.
The above standards supplement all other requirements contained in eacb builders'
Purcbase Agreement, the Shamrock Farm Annexation Agreement and all other
applicable municipal, state, and federal laws and ordinances.

COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Community Infrastructure
The final Engineering plan has been prepared by the Developer and approved
by the City. This plan indicates what utilities and infrastructure improvements
will be provided to each neighborhood.
In general, in all single family neighborhoods, all infrastructure requirements
will be completed by the Developer. All single family lots are available as
finished lots with all utilities available to each lot. Individual lot utility
connections, final lot grading and landscaping are the responsibility of the
builder, upon approval of site and landscape plans by the Architectural
Review Committee. Multifamily neighborhoods will have utilities available to
the site. All internal utility requirements and connections, grading and
landscaping are the responsibility of the multifamily neighborhood builder,
subject to approval by the Developer.
A copy of The Final Engineering Plan may be obtained from the Developer.
Erosion control at Shamrock Farm is an important component of
environmental responsibility. Woods, wetlands and lakes are all significant
natural features which enhance the value of Shamrock Farm. These features
are vulnerable to erosion damage stemming from construction activities.
Builders and/or developers will be expected to install and maintain erosion
control and siltation management devices as required by local, state and
federal jurisdictions and approved by the Developer. All multifamily
neighborhoods must abide by the erosion control plan for Shamrock Farm.

Community Fence Program
In order to provide a cohesive, well planned fencing program throughout the entire community, lot line
fences for rear and side yards have been predetermined. If fencing is desired where the rear yard or
side yard abuts a roadway, open space or common area including landscape buffer or detention area,
the standard board -on -board, or cross buck fence design shown below will be required. All other rear
and side yard lot line fences must be of approved standard designs as illustrated in the Architectural
Standards. Structural framing shall be on the lot side of the fence whose owner wishes to erect the
fence, or by agreement with adjacent property owner, or on the lot side of the fence where adjacent a
roadway. Rear yard and side yard fences must be located on the lot he. This does not preclude
internal fences used to screen patios, pools and other private features whose designs are appropriate to
the house architecture and are approved by the ARC.
Fencing between houses as viewed from the front
of the house must be installed with the following
criteria:
Fences will be installed (except corner lots as
defined below) starting at least 15' back from
the front corner of any house, but may be
installed further than 15' if so governed by the
next adjacent house.
• Limited to the approved fence types.
Side yard fences on corner lots must adhere to
the following restrictions:
Fences must not extend forward beyond the Board and Board Fence
rear wall of the house.
Also, fence must maintain a side setback equal

General Landscape Guidelines
All builders in the community are required to install a landscape package for each single family home
or multifamily community as set forth in the Annexation Agreement, and as summarized on the following
pages.
This landscape section has been designed to provide Property Owners, Architects, Contractors and
Builders with important information related to the development of homes to insure a harmonious
neighborhood streetscape and to protect the aesthetic quality of the overall community.
The objective is to reinforce the natural character of the community. The recommended landscape
character should emphasize an informal scene by encouraging use of native plant materials and natural
areas. Front yard plantings should be sympathetic to the overall neighborhood streetscape in form,
texture and simplicity of design. This can be achieved, in the single family areas, by limiting the front
yard planting to lawn, trees and informal plantings.
Plantings should be designed to provide privacy for the homeowner and the neighbors. Plantings along
common property lines should be informal unsheared plantings.

COMMUAM ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
Multifamily Landscape Design
In neighborhoods three and four, landscape design elements should provide a
unifying theme to the entire Shamrock Farm community. The overall design goal
should be the creation of a pleasant, safe and protected environment that is
both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This goal cannot be met without
adequate landscaping. The principles of good design and functional, yet simple
solutions provided by a limited variety of materials, should not be overlooked.
Maintenance of these areas is as important as the original design concept. The
following architectural standards will help to direct landscape improvements
that will be consistent throughout the community. All original landscape plans
must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee.
In the multifamily areas, landscaping should enhance major natural and
improved common area site elements through the use of foliage color and
texture, plant forms and plant masses. A simplified list of plant materials which
maintains the proposed theme of the landscape should be used. Visual
confusion due to the use of many unrelated plant varieties should be avoided.
Broad plant masses and consistency of landscape character should be employed
to avoid complex plant mixtures.
In the multifamily areas, landscape design should provide for effective screening
of parking areas, utilities and service areas. This will reduce the possibility of
negative visual impacts when viewed from major adjacent streets. Grouped
masses of plant material should be designed to complement architectural
elevations, blank walls and roof lines through color, texture, density and form
on both the horizontal and vertical planes.
Minimum standards for multifamily landscape planning are set forth in the
Annexation Agreement, and are summarized on the following page.

• Checking and adjusting tree stakes and guy wires to avoid trunk
girdling, abrasions, and unsightly conditions.
• Mowing turf areas regularly such that turf height does not exceed three
inches.
• Watering trees, shrubs, and lawn areas sufficiently to avoid drying and
discoloration caused by water stress.
