Design Guidelines have been adopted to help you plan improvements to your home and yard that are harmonious with the overall neighborhood.  Unless the Design Guidelines say otherwise, any change to the exterior of your home or yard must be approved by the Association  before any work is done.  If you are planning to improve or change the exterior of your home or your yard, follow this simple process:

Step 1:  Review the Design Guidelines.  The Guidelines outline what would or would not be allowed in the neighborhood.  We recommend that you review the Guidelines before planning your improvement.  

Step 2:  Submit your Architectural Change Request (ACR).  You can do this by downloading the form and sending it in by mail or e-mail.  To ensure that your ACR isn’t returned, be sure to submit all of the requested information.  Submissions should be sent in one pdf file.

Step 3:  Allow the AERC time to review your ACR.   This process usually takes 15-30 days, so plan ahead.  

Step 4:  Start your project.

Remember — following this process is easy, and can also save a lot of time and effort in the long run as unapproved changes to your property could result in fines or other enforcement action.
