22 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2021 About once a year, ARC takes an opportunity to remind our homeowners what ARC is and what we do to assist our homeowners. ARC seeks to preserve and improve the appearances of the community and to ensure continuity throughout. It is not intended to restrict creativity or personal preferences. Each application is considered in light of specific implications and location and the impact of the specific request. Homeowners are required to notify ARC by completing an application also called a Schedule A. Applications are required for all changes to the outside, including the landscaping and/or hardscaping of a home. Some of the types of changes are: • Landscaping including trees, shrubs, hedges, planters, etc. • Irrigation changes • Lighting • Water features including pools, spas, and fountains • Built-in fire pits and BBQs • Ground cover including gravel, rock, and artificial turf • Hardscapes including patio slabs, walks, mow curbs, etc. • Doors, windows, screen, garage doors • Painting • Solar panels Frequent questions and answers include: Why do we need to fill out an ARC packet? Failure to submit an application and obtain approval before starting construction or changes may constitute a violation of CC&Rs and may require a remedy of work at the owner's expense How long does it take to find out if my application was approved or not? ARC meets the first and third Wednesdays of every month. After your application has been considered, ARC will notify you within 24 to 48 hours. If you attend the meeting when your application is considered, you should have an answer during the meeting. Occasionally, a complex request may require more time to consider. In every instance, you will receive a written notification within 30 days of submitting a completed application. Do I need permission from my neighbors to have work done on my home? No, although Schedule B is part of the application, it only requires your signature. While it is courteous to let your neighbors know that work will be done, it is not required. It is recommended that you attend the meeting in which your application is discussed by ARC. Should there be any questions from the committee, you are available to clarify them. Without your input your application could be delayed. The owner is responsible for the submittal of all required documents, including the notice of completion. Not the vendor, not the contractor or the representative — the homeowner is responsible for any missing document or work done without ARC approval. Do not let a contractor or vendor tell you otherwise. There are no exceptions to the requirement and NO contractor or vendor has automatic preapproval. Need help or have questions?
