Dear Residents,
The Old Orchard Homeowners Association emphasizes the importance of obtaining approval before making any exterior architectural changes to properties. This requirement is crucial for maintaining property values and ensuring the community's overall aesthetic appeal. The association's governing documents mandate compliance with pre-existing conditions and regulations, which help protect property values by regulating the types of architectural changes that can be made.
The Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) of a community determine what is an architectural review committee responsible for, as well as the members that will make up the body. Through the ARC applications, the HOA architectural committee is responsible for ensuring that any changes to the exterior of the homes conform to the standards set by the CC&Rs.
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) plays a vital role in enforcing community standards and ensuring uniformity in neighborhoods. Residents must secure approval from the ARC before making any changes or additions to their properties: This includes roof and fence replacements. The committee evaluates and processes ARC applications to ensure that any exterior modifications conform to the community's standards and do not negatively impact the appearance of the neighborhood.
The ARC application process is the primary method for the HOA to maintain control over exterior modifications. The committee's duties include evaluating applications from residents and the HOA board itself. Before starting any exterior projects or changes, residents must complete and apply for approval. The application process and submission details are available on the Old Orchard website.
