Such plans and specifications shall set forth the color and composition of all exterior materials proposed to be used and any proposed landscaping together with any other material or information which the Committee may require. All plans and drawings required to be submitted to the Committee shall be drawn to a scale of one quarter inch (1/4") equals one foot (1'), or to such other scale as the Committee may require. There shall also be submitted, where applicable, the permits or

plat plans which shall be prepared by either a registered land surveyor, an engineer or an
