| Frequently Asked Questions on
filling out the ARB form:
Q. What do I need to submit an
ARB form for?
A. An ARB form needs to be submitted for any change done to the
exterior of the property. The only changes that do NOT require
an ARB form are: Replacement of dead/dying plants, minor lawn
repair, touch-up painting, etc. For more information, contact
the Board or the Architectural committee.
Q. Do I really need to attach
all the required documents, even if they don't really relate to my
improvement?
A. A property survey can be skipped if painting, but paint chips
must be included. Specifications for a fence may be included in the
written description of improvement. All other improvements
must include all the required attachments.
Q. What happens if I forget to
fill out an ARB form before starting or completing the work?
A. An ARB form must be filled out prior to starting or completing
the work, or a $100 fine will be assessed. If you notify us
and include the required documents, before we notify you, the fine
will be waived, but if your project is not approved or will require
modifications, then either the project will have to be deconstructed
or modified to meet the requirements of the ARB or the standard rate
for fines will be assessed.
Q. What do I need to submit an
ARB form for the installation of a satellite dish?
A. Yes, and you are limited to one dish and it must not be visible
from the road. On corner houses, it must be placed on the side that
is not completely visible and must be near the rear of the house.
Q. If the improvement gets
approved, do I need to get a permit?
A. Yes, if the city requires a permit, you will need to get
one. The city will require that you furnish an approval letter
from the HOA. |
