No residences, additions or incidental outbuildings shall be constructed on any building lot in Filing 3 of the subdivision until the building plans, specifications and site plan showing the location of such structures have been approved in writing by the Mesa Antero Architectural Control Committee as to conformity and harmony of external design with existing structures of the subdivision as to location of such buildings with respect to topography, easements, and finished grade elevations in compliance with the covenants of the subdivision. All structures are to be constructed on site. Modular, manufactured or mobile homes are specifically prohibited. Construction in Filing 3 shall be considered to have begun upon either the delivery of building supplies or equipment to the lot or the breaking of ground for the foundation, whichever occurs first.
