STALLION RIDGE RANCH FAQ – September 2009

2. CAN I CHOOSE MY OWN BUILDER? Yes. Builders simply have to fill out a one page form to demonstrate financial and professional credentials

3. WHAT CAN I BUILD? Homes must be a minimum size of 1500 sq ft not including garage, porches, decks or patios. Review covenants for other restrictions.

4. CAN I KEEP HORSE ON MY LAND? Yes you may. Please see the CC&R’s for restrictions on how many horses you may have per acre of land you own. Horses will need to be fenced on your own property and proper housing and feeding facilities will need to be built prior to bringing horses onto your property. Horses are not allowed to free range on your lot and need to be fed in their containment area. Proper manure collection and disposal areas must be built and maintained.

In the initial phase of the development of Stallion Ridge Ranch, it was anticipated the there be an equestrian center built where residents could board their horses. This concept has changed. Although there is an equestrian center location zoned for commercial uses like an equestrian center, the developers of Stallion Ridge Ranch will not be building this facility. However this area, known as Lot 2-7 is available for private purchase for anyone who wants to pursue the development of an equestrian center. Lot 2-7 has been approved by the Department of Environmental Quality and has been zoned for an equestrian facility. The outdoor arena has been graded and locations for barns and stables have been planned along with an indoor riding arena. The developers of Stallion Ridge cannot guarantee that an equestrian center will be built at this time. Economic conditions have changed. This site is available for purchase by anyone interested in this opportunity. Please note the disclaimer that developer may change amenities and amenities schedule at any time.
