1 O,PREFACE This document has been prepared under 1he directioh of..the Quantum Design :"
Review Committee (QDR) in accordance with Article IV of the Declaration of Protective
"
Covenants of Quantum Park at Boy ton Beach dated ____m_ It defines the processes required
of an owner or tenant of Quantum Park to receive approval from the QDR to develop his parcel.
It is to be used by professional planners, architects and engineers as a guide for preparation of
development documents for projects to be constructed in Quantum Park. The QDR controls both
the contents of this document and the various procedures identified herein, as authorized by the
Declaration of Protective Covenants
1 1 INTENT This document establishes standards for the development of parcels within
Quantum Park. It defines standards in addition to the basic codes, statutes, laws and ordinances
of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the project. It does not attempt to
re-establish nor re-define all of those other regulations controlling development of the
property Its purpose is to establish the quality level of all development within Quantum Park.
This document establishes standards that are to be applied uniformly throughout the park to
regulate undeveloped parcels. initial development of parcels and the maintenance of parcels
throughout their existence It applies to all parcels within Quantum Park from the time of a
parcel's purchase through initial development and through all modifications to developed
parcels
1.2 DESIGN CHARACTER It is the intent of this document to establish a design character based
on the effective use of high-quality materials and structures in a lush and varied landscape
setting All of the initial improvements made by Quantum Associates embody subtle yet
sophisticated design and the imaginative use of water, rock, land forms and plantings Quantum
.
Park's design character is intended to provide each parcel owner with the opportunity to develop
an exceptional and profitable project within the confines of a clear, attractive spatial and visual
environment.
Quantum Park's lush landscape areas of varied natural plantings, rock formations and
waterscape features line the perimeters of all lakes and most parcels The landscape is further
beautified by the 40 acre Sand Pine Preserve and City Park to the north, and by the canal
frontages along the western and southern borders.
Rights-of-way have been heavily landscaped with tree and shrub median plantings Street trees
are used extensively at outer roadway edges Trees have been planted both within
rights-of-way and along interior perimeters of development parcels

All proposed development should embody the use of an abundance of water, dense landscaping,
rock features and land forms, and should develop framed views and view corridors All
architecture within Quantum Park should use high-quality natural or man-made finishes
applied consistently to the entire exterior of cleanly designed structures Any architecture with
a strong distinctive style should provide appropriate transition or accommodation of the overall
visual character of Quantum Park's surrounding environment
Form and color compatibility of all development is essential All structures should harmonize
with adjoining structures and with the natural setting The excessive use of forms, designs or
colors that provide sharp contrast to or conflict with the surroundings is discouraged
1.3 PRIORITY OF RIGHTS New development will be evaluated with respect to its compatibility
to the existing surrounding development and to its conformity to these regulations In situations
where the property rights of one parcel holder are in conflict with those of another,
development that has been approved and completed will have priority consideration over
development which is proposed The planning and development of a parcel may thus be greatly
affected by the existing development of the parcels around it. The continuity of development and
the consistency of quality within Quantum Park require that preexisting development become a
part of the controlling design criteria.
To achieve consistency and compromise in site development, the QDR has the right to require
changes to a previously approved and constructed development Such changes will only be
considered when the cost of the change is voluntarily borne by the parcel owner seeking a
compromise or concession Such changes could include relocation of landscaping, revision of
.
grading along a common property line, combination of access ways, sharing of utility services,
etc.

than abrupt changes among contrasting or discordant elements
44 LANDSCAPING STANDARDS All parcel areas not covered by buildings or pavings shall be
landscaped with lawns, grasses, ground covers, shrubs, trees, decorative plants and f1orals, or
shall receive other embellishment with rockscaping or water areas Landscape plans defining
the complete parcel landscape oesign scheme shall be prepared by a duly licensed professional
landscape architect, and shall be submitted to the QDR with the initial submittal for approval
prior to the start of work. These landscaping standards set forth guidelines for evaluation and
preservation of existing vegetation, design of landscaping and related items, coordination of
landscaping to surrounding elements, minimum plant materials, distribution of plant
materials, landscaping of particular building or site features, and maintenance of landscape
areas.
4 41 EXISTING VEGETATION Where existing landscaping and vegetation consist of mature or
specimen plants, or constitute well-established and substantial stands, attempts should be made
to preserve them through incorporation into the proposed landscape design scheme Existing
vegetation that is poorly established, sparse, unattractive or constituted primarily of species

not on the Plant Materials List in 4 434 should be removed. Any viable Sand Pine vegetation
shall be preserved or replaced as specified in 4 421 and 4 453 Existing vegetation to be
preserved may be credited against parcel landscaping plant quantities required in 4 45
4 42 LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION Substantial quantities of mature. desirable landscaping
cannot quickly. easily: or inexpensively be replaced. All proposed parcel development shall
preserve existing landscaping to the greatest extent possible. both to provide a more mature.
natural and stable environment and to limit the necessary degree of replacement of existing
plant materials Preservation of Sand Pine. mature trees, specimen trees and natural
hammocks is strongly encouraged. as is the use of natural water areas. rock and land forms
within the landscape design The landscape design of a parcel should recreate and preserve a
natural and indigenous environment.
4 421 SAND PINE AREAS Any parcels situated within designated Sand Pine areas. as shown in
the Ecological Plan for Quantum Park. or on which viable stands of Sand Pine vegetation are
encountered. shall be required to preserve all or part of the Sand Pine encountered, based on the
parcel location, size and quantity of Sand Pine In the event parcel development is unduly
hampered by the location of the Sand Pine, the owner may request approval of the QDR to replace
the Sand Pine with a viable Sand Pine stand of equal area elsewhere on the parcel.
4422 PLANTED LITTORAL ZONE AND HARDWOOD SWAMP Lakes within Quantum Park have
been designed to serve as water management areas. visual amenities and elements of a larger
ecosystem Crucial to the ongoing viability of these lakes are the planted littoral zones and
hardwood swamps at their perimeter These areas shall be developed and maintained as set forth
in the Ecological Plan. the Water Management Plan and the Master Landscape Plans Any parcel
owner intending to develop along a lake edge shall incorporate into his proposed landscape plans
measures to maintain, relocate or replace planted littoral zones and hardwood swamps to comply
with the intent of the lake design. The owner may also bear the responsibility of maintaining.
relocating or replacing any bicycle path or other common area improvement associated with
these areas
4 423 PRESERVED WETLANDS Two preserved wetland areas have been established in Quantum
Park. of sizes and locations as defined in the Ecological Plan These areas shall be continuously
maintained and preserved as set forth in the Ecological Plan. No parcel owner may have access
to, alter or in any way affect a preserved wetland

be planted in regul."r formal patterns along roadway rights-of-way Trees shall be planted at a
minimum size of one-and-one-half inch (1-1/2-) caliber and at a maximum spacing of thirty
feet (30') The landscape design of a parcel shall be complementary to and consistent with
these street trees
4426 REMOVAL OF EXOTICS Any plants of exotic species, as defined in the Ecological Plan and
the Development Order for Quantum Park, encountered on a parcel shall be removed prior to the
start of site development, in accordance with procedures defined in the Ecological Plan and the
Development Order Extra care shall be taken to minimize seed dispersal prior to or during the
removal of such plants.
4 43 CHARACTER OF THE LANDSCAPE SCHEME. Quantum Park shall have a consistent landscape
design character to unify and enhance the many parcels and uses The landscape design character
shall maintain overall visual continuity throughout the park. All open unpaved space, including
but not necessarily limited to front, side and rear setback areas, shall be planted and landscaped
according to QDR-approved landscaping plans All plant materials (trees, shrubs, florals,
ground covers, lawns and grasses) shall be selected from the Plant Materials List contained in
4 434 Landscape design shall also incorporate preservation of existing trees, preservation or
replacement of existing Sand Pine, grading, earth forms, rockscaping and the use of water areas.
Plant materials shall be used to complement the overall visual character of Quantum Park, its
common areas, neighboring parcels and the architecture of existing and proposed structures
Plantings shall be arranged to provide direction and emphasis to building entries, to soften
building or wall masses, to frame views and view corridors, to create shade and shelter, and to
provide human scale to the parcel development.
4431 ROADWAY RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND COMMON AREAS Roadway rights-of-way and common
areas shall be planted and maintained by the Quantum Associates and/or the QPOA. The landscape
scheme of rights-of-way includes both the regular placement of mature shade street trees in
medians and along right-of-way edges, and the varied placement and design of landscape clusters
to define intersections, parcel entries, framed views, access to common areas, etc. Common
area landscape schemes vary by the location, configuration, use and surroundings of the common
area. However, common area landscaping employs the same basic design principles and mix of
plant types as rights-of-way and parcel guidelines

monuments include signage identifying Quantum Park and orienting the viewer, as well as
landscaping, rock and/or water features establishing the environmental design character of
Quantum Park. Any parcel adjacent to these monuments shall have a landscape designs that is
complementary to their character and design.
4433 ROCKSCAPING Within the landscape design for a parcel, an owner may, a. his discretion,
include up to five percent (5%) of required landscape area in rockscaping Such rockscaping
shall incorporate random formations of various types of rock interspersed with various plant
types, to create a sculptural yet natural composition The incorporation of water and specimen
plants into rockscape formations is encouraged

either of continuous landscaped separation islands or of tree wells located within the parking
area. Perimeter landscaping shall blend into existing and surrounding landscaping, both on-site
and off-site Existing trees on-site shalf be preserved within parking areas to the greatest
extent feasible Where existing trees are to be preserved, existing ground shall not be regraded
more than six inches (6") different than existing grades within the trees' branch drip line, and
ground at the immediate base of trees shall not be disturbed in any way Attempts should be
made to preserve groupings of young or specimen trees wherever possible, rather than older or
widely scattered individual trees New trees should be of the same species as existing trees in
the general vicinity Dry wells are recommended for recharge of the groundwater
4 441 PERIMETER BUFFERS Perimeter buffer landscaping should be generally denser than that
on other areas of a parcel, and shall be so located as to provide sound, visual and use privacy
between neighboring parcels It may also be used to accent or frame particular components of
parcel development, and to complement the architecture of structures Particular design
attention should be given to the proper buffering of objectionable areas, such as truck areas,
service areas and trash areas

4 442 PEDESTRIAN ZONES ADJACENT TO BUILDINGS' Pedestrian zones adjacent to buildings
should be landscaped with a greater concentration of directional and visual control landscaping
(such as hedges, sculpted tree forms, linear shrubs, etc.), and ornamental and decorative
plantings (f1orals, unusual species, specimen trees, etc.) These zones should also contain
hardier and more easily m~intained species, to provide greater resistance to abuse and more
consistent attractive appearance
4 443 SWALES AND STORM INLETS: Swales and other grade contours used for water retention or
detention or leading to storm sewer inlets shall be landscaped with informally arranged
plantings in a soft and natural design theme Areas adjacent to lake edges shall be similarly

mulched as appropriate
4 46 DISTRIBUTION OF LANDSCAPE MATERIALS Landscaping represents a significant portion of
the visual environment of Quantum Park, both within common park areas and on individual
parcels It plays a central role in establishing the visual character and the environmental
quality of all areas Landscaping shall therefore be incorporated into any development submittal
to the QDR, and shall provide much of the qualitative basis on which the QDR will review the
submittal Landscaping shall be distributed in such a manner as to 1) complement the overall
parcel development, site planning and architectural design, 2) continue and complement the
design character of Quantum Park, its rights-of-way, common park areas and other parcels,
3) frame views and create view corridors to maximize the visibility and attractiveness of the
park environment, 4) screen or embellish massive or objectionable components of parcel
development, and 5) to preserve and maintain natural habitats and ecosystems defined in this
document and its attachments Generally, landscaping along parcel frontages shall continue the
right-of-way character and provide transition to the development's design Landscaping of
parcel side, rear or other internal property lines shall screen objectionable or massive
elements, frame views and complement the development's design Parking areas, drives,
service areas, truck areas and trash areas shall all be screened by landscaping, earth forms,
fences and/or walls Where earth mounding is used, it shall consist of smoothly graded rounded
natural forms. Areas abutting canals, lakes or wetlands shall have hardwood swamp plantings,
littoral zone plantings, shrub massing or other sensitive design treatment Paths, walks and
other pedestrian areas shall have decorative and/or directional landscaping
447 LANDSCAPING OF ALL FIXED IMPROVEMENTS All fixed improvements shall be landscaped
as specified herein The QDR may, at its sole discretion, waive any or all of these landscaping
requirements, should they represent an undue hardship for a particular development, or should
their waiver enable a more comprehensive or higher quality development.
