The DRC, by resolution, may exempt certain Construction or Modifications from the application and approval requirements of this Article 3, provided such Construction or Modifications are undertaken in strict compliance with the requirements of such resolution. Approval shall not be required to re -side the exterior of a structure in accordance with the originally -approved color scheme or to rebuild in accordance with originally -approved plans and specifications. Any Owner may remodel, paint, or redecorate the interior of a Residence without approval so long as such activity does not affect the exterior appearance of the Residence. 3.4 Variances. The DRC may grant variances from compliance with any provision of the Design Guidelines in circumstances where the design meets the intent of the provision sought to be varied and where granting of the variance would enhance design innovation and excellence, or when circumstances such as topography, natural obstructions, hardship, or aesthetic or environmental considerations so require, and where the DRC determines, in its sole discretion, that the objective of the particular requirement can still be achieved. No variance shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the DRC. No variance may be contrary to this Declaration or prevent the DRC from denying a variance in other circumstances under which the DRC previously granted a variance. For purpose of this Section, the inability to obtain approval of any governmental agency, issuance of any permit, or the terms of any financing shall not constitute hardships. If requested to do so, the DRC shall grant a variance from provisions of the Design Guidelines to the owner of Lot One (1), Copper Creek Estates Thirteenth Subdivision to facilitate construction of a residence that can be located within the confines of that lot due to location of communication lines and tower facilities on such lot that otherwise inhibit construction. 3.5 Construction of Improvements.

If the Construction or Modification is not commenced within the time period presented in this Section, the DRC may revoke its approval of the Construction or Modification. 3.6 No Changes Without Approval.
