Design Review

Design Review Guidelines
 
The Design Review Committee is tasked with maintaining the visual appeal of the community, while also implementing and enforcing design guidelines that help protect and maintain your property value.

Every resident is required to submit an application and obtain approval from the committee PRIOR to starting exterior modifications to your home or property. 

Please refer to the design review documents for assistance when completing your outdoor projects such as landscaping, fencing, concrete, solar panels etc.
 
There are two main steps to completing a proper application. Each step is crucial, and any incomplete section will result in a further review and delayed approval.

Design Review Application and Questionnaire

This application is used to review and approve the exterior improvements described in your submission. Only the items specifically listed in the application and clearly shown on the plans will be reviewed. Any work not included in your application will not be considered part of this approval.
 
Association approval is for HOA purposes only. Homeowners are still responsible for obtaining all required permits and approvals from applicable state, county, or city jurisdictions, as well as complying with building codes, zoning ordinances, and safety requirements.
 
If the approved work is not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the review date, the approval will be void.
 
Application and Questionnaire
 
The questionnaire is designed to help ensure your application is complete and ready for review by the Design Review Committee (DRC). It was created to give homeowners the best possible chance of approval on their first submission.

Site Plan

The site plan stated in the Architectural Application refers to a residential diagram depicting the plot of land on which the house sits, along with landscape topography and any exterior features or structures.
 
Site plans can be professionally created or handcrafted from the owner itself and submitted in a PDF format document.  Failing to submit in this format, can result in the denied application or delayed approval.
 
*Please note, these are examples of several site plans, your site plan can vary depending on your exterior modification. You can click each link below to see an example for various arc modifications.
