the Interim Board does not hold regularly scheduled meetings. However,
members are notified when one is scheduled and where the meeting will be
held.

How can I participate on the Association's
board?
Until turnover to the Association is managed by an Interim
Board consisting of representatives from Arbor Custom Homes. After turnover,
elections will be held once a year to fill vacant board positions. A notice

upcoming election.
In addition to board positions, the board may appoint
homeowners to various committees. (Currently, the Interim board is acting as
the Architectural Review Committee.)

How do I know if I'm in violation of the
CC&Rs?
Our community manager does regular site reviews and will
notify homeowners of any violations. You can find a summary description of
CC&R violations and the procedure for notification about them at the
Northwest Community Management website. In general, try to follow these
basic rules and that will prevent most violations:
-
Keep trash cans out of public view.
-
No "For Rent" or "For Lease Signs" are permitted upon any
lot. (One "For Sale" sign is permitted.)
-
No parking of boats, trailers, commercial vehicles, etc. is
allowed.
-
No vehicles in disrepair are allowed.
-
No satellite dish may be erected without prior approval from
the Architectural Review Committee, via the
application process.
-
No Basketball hoops or other recreational equipment are
allowed within public view upon any lot.

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, may 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.
