What boundaries are there for architectural improvements to the listed property? / What

The Architectural Committee is responsible for reviewing all exterior modifications to home
sites. This would include, but is not limited to, projects such as patio replacement, replacement
of windows and doors, re-roofing, painting, installation of air conditioning units, installation of
pools/spas, replacement of driveway, remodels, etc. The 3100 series of the Association’s Rules

Are the seller’s approved architectural plans transferable to the buyer?
Although the Architectural Committee is considering an amendment to the existing rule,
approved architectural plans are currently non-transferable and the existing approval is
considered void once the property changes ownership. However, the Association does have in
place a method in which a buyer may obtain their own approval for a previously approved set of
architectural plans. The buyer would simply need to submit an exterior modification form and a
set of the previously approved to the Architectural Committee for consideration of the desired
project.
