Review Basis

The Residential ARB bases it’s review of each application on it’s interpretation of the Covenants and these Standards and on the graphic and written information presented. Due to time constraints, Residential ARB review of all applications occurs without personal presentations by the applicants. Therefore it is incumbent upon the applicant to provide sufficient and accurate information to the Residential ARB for proper consideration. If, in the applicant’s opinion, extenuating circumstances exist which would justify a variance from stated guidelines, this
information should be presented with the application.

Approvals

An application is approved when the Residential ARB or its designated representative gives notice to the applicant in writing. No verbal approvals are given. The Residential ARB may issue any of the following four decisions:

- “Approved”: means approved as submitted.

- “Approved with Limiting Conditions”: means approved only if stated conditions in the approval are met.

- “Not Approved”: means not approved for construction. Reasons for disapproval will be given in writing. The Residential ARB may also provide suggestions for revisions but does not
provide design solutions. A disapproval action requires a re submittal by the applicant for review before any approvals can be given.

- “Preliminary Review” : means a review of early design drawings to give the applicant direction as to what the concerns of the Residential ARB are likely to be regarding that design. Comments are given to the Applicant but no approval to proceed is granted without Residential ARB review of a complete submittal in accordance with the above requirements.

Appeals

APPEALS TO THE RESIDENTIAL ARB: Should an application be denied on the basis of the Covenants or Standards, and the applicant feels that the submittal was misinterpreted or that there are extenuating circumstances which should qualify them for an exception from these requirements, they may contact the Residential ARB to discuss it. If the Residential ARB agrees that a second review is in order, the application will be placed back on the agenda for the next meeting.

APPEALS OF A RESIDENTIAL ARB ACTION TO THE BOARD: If an applicant feels that
he or she has been unfairly denied approval by the Residential ARB, an appeal may be filed with the Board of Directors by contacting the Community Manager.
