ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL
The Architectural Committee consists of volunteers who will try to respond within two weeks of receiving a request. We are primarily concerned with maintaining the curb appeal and value of the properties in our neighborhood through the careful review of projects that affect the exterior of homes and properties.
Please keep in mind that any maintenance or improvement project, including additions or outbuildings, must be reviewed by the committee per the covenants that you are bound to as a part of the contract you signed with the purchase of your home regardless of whether or not a permit is required by the County. We will help you identify and resolve issues that may create problems with the County as well as your neighbors.
To help you make decisions before you submit your project for review, we’ve assembled our current requirements for the two most common requests.
Roofing Requirements:
Paint requirements:
Paint must be “earth tone” colors. Please provide samples for both primary and trim colors to the Architectural Committee for review, as well as manufacturer and color number. Neon, bright, and pastel colors have not been approved for use in this community.
