Before submitting, please make sure to do the following...
- Please read the packet thoroughly to ensure your request meets R&R and ARC guidelines prior to submission.
- Attach color photographs of your existing property and a plot plan (except when painting) showing the existing relevant house elevation(s) and specific area(s) where any proposed improvement(s) are intended to the application.
- Attach paint color samples marked for the stucco body, stucco trim and gutters, entry doors, shutters, and overhead garage door, specifying the manufacturer's color name, number, and sheen for each proposed paint color.
- Paint a 4' x 4' section that includes all areas to be painted for ARC inspection; e.g., if painting stucco body, stucco trim, and gutters, include all in the 4' x 4' section.
- Label all samples with your name (i.e., artificial grass or turf).
Reminders:
- Once planted, the landscape is expected to be maintained as approved.
- Please do not submit photos of neighbor’s yards in anticipation of expected approval.
