| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | FEBRUARY 2024 | 9 This is the seventh article in this series and will continue to examine the Application Process. The goal of the ARC is to further inform Homeowners of the established procedures to gain approval and save the Homeowners time, money and frustration! e Application Process (continued) Deadlines for Completion of Work: Within 90 days of ARC approval, your alteration(s) must be completed. If additional time beyond 90 days is needed, submit a time extension request. Alteration Application Submittals: All alteration submittals are required from Homeowners. They must include the following five items: 1. A plot plan drawn to scale which shows the house, front yard, both side yards and back yard with dimensions and scale of plan noted. For further information see the "Details of Submitting Plans to Scale Section". 2. A completed and signed "Exhibit A" noting all the planned alterations. 3. A completed and signed "Exhibit B". 4. Before photos of the project area. Photos will not be returned, but kept in the Management files. 5. One original plan and one copy of the plan. (It is recommended Homeowners also keep a copy for their own records.) Failure to provide each of the five above-noted items will result in an incomplete alteration application submittal, and non-acceptance of the Homeowner's application. An incomplete alteration application will nullify the original application submittal date. Architectural Support staff will notify the Homeowner if their application is incomplete. Without a complete application package, the partial application will not be reviewed by the ARC. Application completeness and acceptance shall be determined by the Architectural Support staff upon submittal by the Homeowner. The ARC/Architectural Support staff shall notify the Homeowner of the application status within 30 days of an accepted application. Plan Submittal: Plans may be professionally drawn, computer generated or hand drawn. A plot plan must be drawn accurately to scale and the scale noted. For example, ¼" = 1'-0" scale means that ¼ inch on the plan equals 1 foot of the landscape. The ARC prefers ¼" = 1'0". Plot plans must show: • The size, shape, and dimensions of the lot area being proposed for all alterations. • Dimensions of any proposed alterations. Alteration plans must show: • Descriptions and drawings of any proposed alterations. • Description of any proposed construction with complete dimensions. • Lists of materials to be used, including the proposed color schemes (if applicable). • Include samples of materials such as rock, artificial turf, and/or bark/mulch. • Drainage plans where the established drainage pattern might be affected by the proposed alterations (if applicable). • Lighting plans (if applicable). • Written permission may be required from the Association if proposed alterations required access over Association Property to transport labor or materials. Such requests must be submitted by the Homeowner first to the ARC with our plans and then may require an approval by the Board of Directors prior to the commencement of the improvement. Future articles will continue to address the application process. Need questions answered? Call (951) 325-8188. Business Office hours are Monday through Friday (holidays excepted) 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Ask for Architectural Support. Architectural Review Facilities Committee Last year was the 20th year for the Four Seasons community. Four Seasons is a well-designed and well-developed community. After 20 years, this is still a high-quality community that has benefited from improvements. The homeowners have been able to enjoy their community through the Board of Directors who rely on the committees to provide the basis for the Board's decision-making process. The Board of Directors and the committee members are all volunteers. Without volunteers it would be much more expensive to maintain the community. In addition to these volunteers, we are fortunate to have property owners who enjoy taking an active interest by attending Board meetings, asking questions, and providing valuable feedback. The Facilities Committee is an important part of this process by its members who inspect the community buildings, common areas, equipment, and oversee vendor contracts. The committee spends many hours researching and discussing a project and how it will provide the best benefit for the membership to provide the Board with their recommendation. The committee receives owner input though emails, letters, resident input forms, and personally appearing at committee meetings. When there is turnover among the members of the committee, we solicit replacements when current members need to move on to other activities. To sum it up, volunteering and supplying input is vital to the continued success of this community. Thank you to all who are volunteering and supplying input. There is always room for more.
