FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2019 23 All submissions to ARC are carefully reviewed and considered based on the individual merits of the proposed work on a case-by- case basis in light of specific implications of location and impact on surroundings. ARC approves the application and plans as submitted. If changes are needed we consult with the homeowner and change that application to reflect each and every change. These become part of the application. Once the project is completed, a Schedule C form must be submitted advising the ARC that the work has been completed. ARC then meets with the homeowner to verify that the project is complete and records the work done for future reference. Recently ARC has encountered several instances where the work completed is not what was on the plans. We have seen situations where some of the planned work was not done; more work was done than shown on the plan and some situations where the work done was different than what was submitted. When this happens the ARC is unable to approve the work done and requires a new application and may deny approval of the work done if it doesn't meet the Guidelines. As stated in the architectural guidelines, failure to obtain the necessary approval from the ARC, or failure to complete the work in conformity with the plans approved by the ARC, may constitute a violation of the CC&Rs and require modification or removal of any work at owner's expense. To review, every application also referred to as a Schedule A requires: • A completed Schedule A form • A signed Schedule B form – the only required signature is the homeowner • Drawings and details of the proposed work showing locations, along with elevation depicting the dimensions of all structures • Description of all materials to be used, including colors, textures and character in sufficient detail to enable ARC to assess the proposed work. Samples are preferred when possible • Drainage plans • Landscape drawings • Photos and/or brochures of items such as patio covers, screen doors, window awnings, prefabricated structures, storage units, fountains fire pits and statuary • A photo of the lot as it currently exists • A completed check list signed by the homeowner • Any other information or documentation deemed necessary by ARC in evaluating the work Please remember that you are responsible for each step of this process. You may not pass this responsibility to a contractor or other person. Be wary of any contractor or neighbor who advises you that they will submit any part of the application for you. Also be wary of any one who advises you to skip this process or that you can do what you want and ask for forgiveness or a variance. The community guidelines are very clear. If you have any questions, please contact me. ~ Steve Cooley, (801) 815-5302, cooleyaudit@gmail.com Architectural Review Committee We are continuing to fulfill our charter to address the HOA takeover from K.
