What are ARCs?
Northwest Community Management has provided a very informative
tutorial on ARCs and how they apply to you on the
FAQ page of their website. |
|
Do I need to apply for everything I do in my yard?
No, if you are
doing some minor landscaping, such as putting in small shrubs
or flowers, it's not necessary to apply for ARC approval. |
|
If the ARC rejects my proposal my I appeal their
decision?
If you feel that
the ARC has mistaken your intent by rejecting your
application, you can resubmit it with additional information
on your proposal, and any additional arguments that you feel
would help your case. Please don't just submit the same
application again without changes as it will be denied again.
You can also include any changes with your resubmitted
application that might help the project become approved.
Until such time as
an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is appointed, the
board is acting in that capacity and has the final decision. |
|
What is the function of the Architectural Review
Committee?
The Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) is an important part of your community.
The Committee' purpose is to make decisions on, and interpret,
the CC&Rs and Design Guidelines where improvements are
concerned. You can find out more about the ARC's
responsibilities by reviewing the Association's CC&Rs
available on the Documents
page. |
