FAQ

Any structure defined as:  A Dwelling, fence, privacy enclosure wall, retaining wall, driveway, swimming pool, bathhouse, hot tub, greenhouse, gazebo, children's playhouse and any other above-ground structure of any kind or nature shall be subject to and shall require the prior written approval of the Architectural Committee.  All plans and specifications for (i) the initial construction of any Structure on a Lot, (ii) any later changes or additions thereto after initial approval and construction thereof, and (iii) any exterior remodeling and reconstruction of or alteration to any Structure. If there is a structure or item that is not outlined here or there is any question as to what needs approval, please reach out to the Architectural Committee.

The structure or modifications to the property will dictate the information needed. The plans for a house, including set back and lot layout are outlined below. For those structures or modifications that are not as complex or involved as a house we need to know what is specifically being built or modified.  If the Architectural Committee needs more information, we will tell you that.  One of our guiding principles is: Is the Structure or the addition to or alteration and/or modification of the Structure in general conformity and harmony in exterior design and appearance with other Structures in the Addition.

1. Preliminary Plans. In order to avoid unnecessary hardship, it is mandatory that Owners contemplating works of construction, reconstruction, or exterior remodeling or alteration of any structure shall first submit in duplicate to the Architectural Committee preliminary drawings, plans and specifications in order to obtain approval thereof before causing preparation of detailed and final drawings, plans and specifications and incurring substantial expense in that regard. One set of preliminary drawings, plans and specifications shall be retained by the Architectural Committee.
2. Final Plans. Before commencement of construction, reconstruction, exterior remodeling, or alteration of any Structure, the Owner shall submit to the Architectural Committee two (2) complete sets of final plans and specifications for said improvement, the construction, alteration or remodeling of which is desired, and no Structure shall be erected, altered, placed or maintained upon any Lot unless and until the final plans and specifications therefor have received written approval as herein provided. Such final plans and specifications shall include (i) a plot plan showing the location on the lot of the Structure proposed to be constructed, altered, placed or maintained, (ii) the proposed roof type, (iii) the exterior front and side elevations, (iv) the exterior color schemes, and (v) a description of the materials to be used in the construction of the exterior of the Structure.
3. Approval of Plans. The Architectural Committee shall approve or disapprove the final plans and specifications within ten (10) days from the receipt thereof. One set of said plans and specifications with the approval or disapproval of the Architectural Committee endorsed thereon shall be returned to the owner and the other copy thereof shall be retained by the Architectural Committee. In the event that the Architectural Committee approves such plans and specifications, at the request of the owner there shall also be issued a written certificate in recordable form executed by a member of the Architectural Committee acknowledging such approval. In the event there is no action by the Architectural Committee to approve or disapprove such plans and specifications within ten (10) days after the delivery thereof and no legal action has been instituted to enjoin the proposed construction, reconstruction, modification or other alteration of a Structure, the provisions hereof requiring approval of plans and specifications shall be deemed waived.
4. Review Considerations. The Architectural Committee in its consideration of plans and specifications submitted shall be guided by the extent to which the proposed Structure or the addition to or alteration and modification of any existing Structure will be in general conformity and harmony in exterior design and appearance with other Structures in the Addition, based upon, among other things, the following factors: the quality of workmanship; the nature and durability of materials; harmony of external design with existing structures in the Addition; choice of colors; changes in topography, grade elevation and/or drainage: the effect of the proposed Structure, or addition to or modification or alteration of any existing Structure on the use, enjoyment and value of neighboring properties, and on the outlook or view from adjacent or neighboring properties; and the suitability of the proposed Structure or addition to or modification or alteration of an existing structure taking into account the general aesthetic values of the surrounding area. The Architectural committee shall accordingly have the right to disapprove plans and specifications (i) if such plans and specifications are not in accordance with the provisions hereof, (ii) if the design or exterior color scheme of the proposed Structure is not in harmony with either the general surroundings or the adjacent Structures, (iii) if the plans and specifications are incomplete, or (iv) if the Architectural Committee deems the plans and specifications or any part thereof to be contrary to the spirit or intent of these conditions and restrictions, or contrary to the interests, welfare or rights of the Owners of all or any part of the real property subject hereto, all in the sole and uncontrolled discretion of the Architectural Committee, the decisions of which shall be final.
