Rules and Restrictions

All property owners must obtain advance approval of any exterior property improvements, additions, renovations or installations. This includes but is not limited to fences, decks, mini-barns, porches, sidewalks, driveways -- even changing the color of your house.

But don't panic -- lot improvement requests are rarely rejected. The Board just wants to ensure projects fit with the aesthetics of the neighborhood.

Written requests should be submitted the Review and Restriction Committee 30 days before construction begins so the committee has time to review plans. Written approval from the committee is required to avoid any potential corrective action that could result in additional costs or materials or affect your project’s scheduled completion.

Here’s what’s required, per the Association's Declaration of Restrictions (6Ai):

1)   A complete set of plans and specifications for the proposed construction or improvement.

2)   Such plans shall include a plot plan showing the location of existing improvements and the location of the proposed improvement to be constructed or placed upon the lot, each properly and clearly designated.

3)    Such plans and specifications shall set forth the color and composition of all exterior materials proposed to be used and any proposed landscaping.

4)    All plans and drawings shall be drawn to a scale of 1" = 10', or to such other scale as the Committee may require.

5)    Property building permits and relevant reports also are required.

6)  All such plot plans shall be prepared by either a registered land surveyor, engineer or architect.

Questions may be directed to Board President/Review and Restrictions Chairman Scott Thien at (317) 902-3103 or scottthien@comcast.net
