Article 1

Section 1.01 General Information

The approval of applications for construction, exterior alterations, or improvements will be based on the written provisions of the dedicatory instruments applicable to the property in reference. It is the intent of the ACC not only to aid the Owner in developing a residence complying with all governing documents; but also, to promote the development of the Subdivision to its fullest potential.

It should be noted that the ACC is not responsible for, nor can it control the quality of the construction or structural integrity of any project; this is the responsibility of the Owner.

This Policy, the RRC, and all applicable dedicatory instruments pertaining to the Subdivision shall govern all improvements made to the exterior of individual properties in the Subdivision. All such alterations and/or building construction require approval in writing from the ACC prior to the commencement of the work.

The ACC members are elected by the Owners. The Association Board is the source for appeal for all ACC-related decisions. The decision of the Board shall be final.

The intent of this Policy is to ensure compliance with the RRC and create policies designed to protect the property values of the Owners of property in the Subdivision as a whole. As stated in the RRC’s Section 3.01 – “The purpose of the ACC is to review plans in order to ensure compliance with the RRCs thus establishing and preserving a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing community.” This forms the basis for all decisions made in compliance with policies governing the appropriate application for review.

If construction, exterior alteration, or improvement is performed without prior written ACC approval, the Owner shall be subject to enforcement action as allowed by all governing documents of the Association and state law, including but not limited to issuance of a cease-and-desist order, fines, filing of a certificate of non­compliance in the public record, and up to and including legal action.

Each Owner and/or their contractor/builder, prior to any work and/or the commencement of construction of a new structure or alterations to the exterior of an existing structure, is required to provide a signed acknowledgment of receipt of this Policy and understanding of the RRC and policies governing exterior alterations within the Subdivision as well as accepting liability for violation of said documents.
