Modifications Committee

The Modifications Committee reviews all requests for changes to existing homes. It ensures that any changes are in keeping with the Declaration and the Guidelines. It has the exclusive jurisdiction over modifications, additions or alterations made on or to existing Units or structures containing Units and the open space. As such, the Modifications Committee approves or denies requests based on completeness and compliance with the established standards. In general, no modification can be made to any existing unit or in its open space unless the owner first submits a modification application and receives approval to proceed.

Modification Application Process

A modification application must be completed by the homeowner, accompanied by a copy of the lot survey and a copy of the contractor’s proposal or plans or any other documentation. Any alterations or additions to the exterior of your home or its grounds should be clearly indicated on the survey. If you are painting your home, whether the same color or a different color, paint chips must be included (in this case a lot survey is not necessary).  All completed modification applications must be submitted to the Community Association Manager’s office by the designated deadline which is the Friday prior to the scheduled Modification meeting.

All modification requests will be forwarded to the Modifications Committee, which consists of five (5) persons, all of whom shall be appointed by and shall serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Members may include architects or similar professionals who are not Members of the Association. The Modifications Committee will meet on the scheduled date following each deadline to process and then return all completed applications to the Community Association Manager.

Immediately following each meeting the Community Association Manager will notify the homeowner of the Modification Committee’s decision and will retain a copy of the completed modification application in each homeowner’s file.

If the modification application is denied, the homeowner may appeal the decision of the Modifications Committee by resubmitting the request. The Committee’s decision regarding an Owner’s appeal shall be final.
