Tips for Specific Projects

Paint at least a 3' X 3' section of the house of sample color and take photos during the day to submit.
Landscaping:
Include a plot plan showing what you intend to complete, drawn using 1/4" or $1/8" graph paper or blueprint.
Be sure to include existing conditions, highlighting proposed improvements.

Be aware that changing the final grade can void your structural warranty and affect a neighbor's grade.

Role of the Architectural Control Committee (ACC)
The ACC protects the neighborhood's value as a total, integrated community by reviewing plans and information for compatibility with the architecture and materials of the neighborhood.
The ACC will not regulate or dictate the construction/installation techniques of the homeowner or their contractors; that is the responsibility and liability of the individual homeowner.
