Frequently Asked Questions

Planning an improvement to your home or lot?

Proposal plans (including a narrative description and a drawing) must be submitted to the Architectural Committee for review (which will automatically be copied to each of the Board of Directors) and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors prior to commencing any work. See the Declarations Section 6.2 for details.

Believe you've observed something that doesn't seem quite right?

Please utilize the procedures in the Bylaws Article X to communication the issue.

What about use of the common areas?

Do I need a state license to fish in the pond?
