Architectural Control Committee

Purpose:

The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) ensures that property development does not unduly interfere with the natural landscape and homeowners’ visual access to it, and that the resulting construction is both in compliance with covenants and in harmony with the natural surroundings and nearby residences.  It does so by reviewing and approving property owner applications for construction, renovation, remodeling, landscaping, and other permanent changes to the exterior environment under the property owner's control.
