How To Assemble a Complete Application
The more information you can supply the Board for their review, the better! Submitting a complete and detailed application is the fastest route through the approval process.
The following information can be included in a complete application - please note, not all elements below will be included, it all depends on the type of improvement for which you are requesting approval:
Plat map with the improvement(s) clearly marked
A scaled drawing of improvement(s)
Pictures
Material and/or color samples
Contractor/Installer's proposal
What are some of these requested items and why are they required?
What is Plat Map?
A Plat Map is a depiction of an individual Lot detailing the location and dimensions of your home and includes all Lot information such as property lines and easements. A Site Plan is a Plat Map that includes existing structures on your Lot (i.e., your house) and a Record Plat includes multiple Lots with no structures included.
It is important to include Plat Maps whenever possible in order to confirm that the improvement(s) will stay within your property lines and will not impede on any easements.

Why do I need to submit drawings and/or pictures?
Drawings and/or pictures enhance the visual representation of the completed project. The Board is able to gain a firm understanding of the proposed improvement(s) through images that cannot be captured by other means.

Why is color and material information required?
The Board is tasked with ensuring the community aesthetics are consistent and adhere to the Association's standards. Specific color and material choices must be approved by the Board to ensure they fit with all community guidelines.
