c.      Underground utilities in the area in which the security measure is to be installed.

The Association is not obligated to and will not review an Owner’s ACC security measure application for the above-referenced issues.

b.     Additions to the home that are detached (i.e. do not share a common wall with the existing home):

i.      Minimum size: 400 sq. ft.

ii.     Must be connected to an existing residence as an incorporated part of the existing residence and connected by a covered concrete walkway covered in the same manner as the roof of the home.

Section 8.02 PROCEDURE

 

All new construction requires ACC approval to begin work. Lot consolidation is a POA policy; lot consolidation affects POA finance and therefore requires POA approval.

1.     The plan is submitted to the ACC for approval of construction of the structure.

2.     The plan approved by the ACC is then submitted to the POA for “conditional” lot consolidation approval at the next POA Board meeting. Should the ACC have some questions about plan compliance with lot consolidation policy or wish to propose an exception (as may be done for a variance), the plan may be submitted to the POA with “conditional ACC approval.” After review, the POA Board will approve or deny the proposed plan for lot consolidation.

3.     Consolidation requires a separate application upon completion of construction as defined in the Complete ACC Policy Manual Section 4.02 (e).

4.     The consolidation application and completed structure are reviewed by Management. If the application and completed structure meet the above criteria, Management will grant approval for the deletion of Assessments the month following the consolidation approval and the Consolidated Lot will be subject to the Assessments of a Single Lot or Building Site. Any circumstances that do not meet the above criteria may be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration as an appeal for deleting the additional Assessments.

5.     The Association reserves the right to unconsolidate any previously approved consolidation if the Owner alters the qualifying structure in any way from the original criteria through which consolidation was approved.
