Community Standards

Purpose

The committee’s primary role is to review and approve proposed exterior modifications, additions, and construction projects to ensure they align with community standards. This includes:

  • Evaluating the location, height, materials, and visual impact of proposed projects​
  • Reviewing plans for new buildings, all exterior changes or additions, new exterior colors or materials, sheds, new driveways or parking pads, garages, siding, roofs, doors, windows, greenhouses, fences, porches, decks, gazebos, patio covers, pergolas, or any other permanent structure before construction begins.
  • Ensuring modifications are in harmony with the external design of the community.
Exterior Modifications

Submission & Approval Process

To maintain the integrity and aesthetic harmony of the community, homeowners must submit a formal request before making exterior modifications. The request must include:

  • Detailed plans and specifications outlining the nature, shape, height, materials, and location of the structure.
  • A full Lot Survey showing the precise location of the proposed structure to ensure it remains within the designated lot circle and complies with building setback requirements.
  • Color samples, material details, and any additional supporting documents that clarify the scope of the project.

    The Architectural Committee (ARC) will review all submissions within 30 days and notify applicants of approval or required modifications.

If a request is denied, homeowners will receive a written explanation and may appeal the decision to the Board of Directors.
