Applying for ACC Approval of Construction/Remodeling Projects

Before you begin, get it Approved!

If you are planning on building or remodeling anything on your home's exterior, including fences, walls, arbors, swimming pools,or structures, under our deed restrictions you must apply for approval from the Architectual Control Committee. This is a fast and painless process.

Be sure you go over your deed restrictions to check that what you have planned is within the boundaries of the deed restrictions, then contact the ACC to see if any plans, permits, or documents are need. Please go to the "Directory for Association Board" for contact information.

After you submit for approval, you'll have an answer in as soon as posible, but ALWAYS less than 20 days.

Exterior Painting or Landscaping

The generally accepted rule of thumb says that if you are repainting the exterior of your home the original color, then go right ahead. If you're thinking of getting on the cutting edge and painting your exterior a different
scheme or pattern, or you want to paint the roof, you better run it by the ACC to be safe.

Same goes with landscaping. Replacing shrubs or sod, changing the beds around is normal, but if you're planning on totally transforming your landscaping look, please ask. There are city codes, next door neighbor concerns, etc. that must be taken into consideration.
It's a quick, simple process to make sure what you do is not something you shouldn't have.

Problems with a Neighbor?

In a zero-lot-line environment we all need to be more aware of our actions (or inactions) that directly affect our neighbors. Please be considerate of others.
If there is something that your neighbor has done or neglected to do that adversely affects you, please try to work it out with him. Most of us want to be good neighbors and will respect our neighbors' concerns. Things like keeping your trees or shrubs off your neighbor's roof, parking in front of his home instead of yours, attaching trellises to his house or privacy wall for your vines to grow on are the complaints we hear about the most. Please be proactive to avoid these types of common problems. If you cannot reach an understanding, then talk with a board member so we can work out a solution for all.

Of course, if your neighbor is doing or has done something contrary to the deed restrictions, please contact any board member.
