22 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2020 The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) works hard to ensure that all applications for exterior improvements or modifications adhere to our guidelines as well as city, state, and federal laws that pertain to exterior improvements or modifications. ARC seeks to preserve and improve the appearance of the community in design and does not seek to restrict individual creativity or personal preference. If your project cannot be approved under the guidelines, ARC will work with you to find a suitable alternative that can meet your needs. It is not our goal to find ways to restrict your personal preferences. Each application is reviewed and evaluated by the ARC on the basis of individual merits of the proposed work on a case-by-case basis and is considered in light of specific implications of location and impact on surroundings. There are no "automatic" approvals nor does prior approval of identical work by ARC or the existence of identical work anywhere in the community mean that any other application will be approved. The approval or disapproval by the ARC of any work does not bind the ARC to take the same or similar action on any other proposed work at any other time for the same or any other property owner. Any oversight of ARC Guidelines does not constitute a waiver of the Guidelines and must be corrected upon notice. While individual ARC members cannot give approval to any work without full consideration by the full committee in a regularly scheduled meeting, individual committee members are available to guide you through the application process. Please contact me if you have any questions. ~ Steve Cooley, (801) 815-5302, cooleyaudit@gmail.com Architectural Review Committee Canine Corral Council We are getting closer to meeting our funding goals! Many thanks to our residents and local businesses who have shown their support for this important amenity. The Council has set a date for a "soft opening" scheduled for… Da ta da ta… Jan. 1, 2021. Our anxious dog owners are wanting to get in and try out the new park, so even though it won't be completely finished, the plan is to get those early members a chance to use it. Then, once everyone sees how much fun people are having and how much our dogs are benefiting from the ability to safely run free, the funds will come pouring in. All of the fears and myths about having an area for our dogs to be able to exercise and enjoy life will be dispelled when we all see how well dogs behave when they are doing what they were meant to do, and we will receive much more support. Residents are asking, "what's the Corral going to look like inside? Will it be pretty?" Well, the Board has made it very clear. The Corral will be a self-funded amenity, so it will be whatever our residents want it to be. Those who are waiting to contribute to the Corral to see what it is going to look like… well… it will look like whatever we all help to make it look like! The more support we receive from our residents and community groups, the more beautiful the Corral will be. We are counting on our dog owners and neighbors to make this facility something we can show off. Even if you don't use an amenity in Four Seasons, every amenity adds to our community features. So once we receive enough funds to finish the inside and make it what our members want it to be, we will schedule our Grand Opening. You can still contribute. If sponsoring an Honor Plaque or Honor Bench is not for you, then you can send donations of any amount to our account: "Four Seasons HOA, memo: Canine Corral." Every dollar will help. Fees from membership applications will also go towards improving and maintaining the facility, so get your applications in now. (Special dog tag included with the seminar, see photo). Our Council is prepared to process applications before we open so we will have members ready-to-go for our projected "soft opening." Your membership will be valid for one year from the date you first use the facility, so you do not have to wait to apply. This is such a great opportunity for the dog owners in this community. Let's all help to make it happen. You can still order plaques from Teri: teridimarino@gmail.com. On Friday afternoons between 3 and 5 pm, a representative from our Council will be available in The Lodge Lobby to answer questions and to assist you with your applications. We will also have some cute dog-themed car magnets and some logo pet travel water bottles for additional fundraising opportunities. These water bottles are ideal for bringing your dog's water to the Corral with its attached drinking dish. See you there! The Council meets the first and third Thursday of each month at 10 am on Zoom. ~ Sandra Butler-Roberts, sandirae@icloud.com Check with your committee chair to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
