Colletta is a community committed to the highest design standard. The Design Review Committee (DRC) is a board of design and building professionals established by the developer to review all homes to be constructed in Colletta with respect to the community covenants and restrictions. This review is also based on architectural style, materials and colors, exterior detailing and site and landscape criteria. The activities of the DRC have been established to protect the integrity of the community streetscape.

Homes sites in Section 1 of Colletta will range in size from approx. 0.216 acres to approx. 1.6 acres. Lot sizes will vary in future sections.

The square footage for townhomes constructed in Colletta will average 2,500  square feet. Single-family homes will range from 2,400-4,500 + square feet excluding garages, porches, and open areas.

Only the members of the Colletta Builders Guild are permitted to build homes in Colletta.

Black aluminum fences or wood privacy fences are allowed within the community depending on the homesite location. Fences on shared property lines must be solid wood or black aluminum. Fences on non-shared property lines can be any wood style or black aluminum. Fence heights shall be 5’-0” for black aluminum fences and 6’ for wood privacy fences. Fence location and style is per Design Review Committee (DRC) approval.

Side and rear yard fences shall be located so the outermost faces of the fence or posts are outside the Public Utility Drainage Easement (P.U.D.E) on each lot. Exceptions can be considered provided the homeowner or builder obtains written approval from the City of Franklin Codes Department, for the fence to be within the easement, however, in no case shall any fence be located closer than 5’ to any property line. Note: Homesites 1-6 will include exceptions to these rules. Please refer to the fencing disclosures regarding homesites 1-6 for more information.

Front yard fences are not allowed. Front entry gates/walls and privacy fences will all require DRC approval and must be submitted as part of an overall landscape design. Special attention is given to the fence designs required adjacent to all open spaces and on High Profile homesites.

Please refer to the Colletta Design Standards and CC&Rs for further information.

All homes in Colletta are expected to include high-level quality landscaping and hardscape. Hardscape refers to items such as walks, drives, and pool or patio layout. Landscape refers to all aspects of new plantings and existing natural foliage on the homesite and how that combines to create a complete site layout. Landscape and hardscape plans must be approved by the Design Review Committee (DRC). Plans must be submitted for DRC approval on or before completion of exterior façade materials.

Portions of some homesites may exist within a tree protection easement. If a site is located within this easement, all existing trees on the site are protected and may not be removed unless they are under 1” caliper, deemed dead, dying or structurally unsound by a licensed arborist, or designated as an invasive species in the current edition of “Invasive Exotic Pest Plants” published by the Tennessee Exotic Pest Plant Council. All grass must be maintained/mowed and existing trees pruned as directed by a licensed arborist on these sites. No structures may be added nor any grading performed within the easement. Additional non-invasive landscaping may be installed (refer to “Invasive Exotic Pest Plants” for approved non-invasive landscaping). Fences may be installed in the easement if approved by the City of Franklin Engineering Department.

Please refer to the site plan or plat map to determine if a homesite falls within a tree protection easement.

Construction of pools is considered on a case-by-case basis. Home buyers interested in constructing a pool must include them on the Architectural Plan, Site Plan, and the Landscaping Plans prior to submission to the Design Review Committee (DRC). Home buyers that wish to construct the above at a later time must submit a formal request to the DRC along with detailed plans.

None of the above can be constructed without written approval from the DRC.

Children are an important part of the Colletta community and providing a pleasant place for children to grow and play is a community goal. The type, structure, and design of any semi-permanent or permanent play equipment must be  submitted to the Design Review Committee (DRC) for approval before installation. Wood construction is required, except as otherwise may be approved by the DRC. Play equipment composed primarily of metal is prohibited. Play equipment located in the front or a side yard is generally prohibited.

The State of Tennessee is requiring Central Mailbox Units for all new construction.

The location of these mailboxes is determined by the United States Postal Service.

Yes, there are sidewalks throughout the community.

The Street Tree Program was developed to provide the framework for planting and maintaining street trees between curbs and sidewalks per a City of Franklin approved design. These trees provide an important separation between the pedestrian areas and the street and help to frame the houses. The developer plants the street trees at the appropriate time, and the builder is responsible for the care, maintenance, and replacement, if necessary, of street trees on a lot during construction. After the home closes, the homeowner assumes responsibility for the care, maintenance, and replacement, if necessary, of street trees on their lot.
