Covenants Committee Charter
The Covenants Committee is the group that reviews all Architectural Change applications for adherence to the HOA Design Guidelines. If an application is within the design guidelines the application is normally approved. It's only necessary to submit changes to the exterior of your home. Remember that many interior modifications - and many exterior modifications as well - require approval and permits from the county, which must be obtained separately from this application process.
Please submit all applications PRIOR to the work being performed. The application can be found under the "Documents" section to the left.
All applications are due on the first of each month. Any application not received by this date or that is found to be incomplete will not be considered until the following month.
The status of an application can be checked in one of the following manners:
- Immediate Response - Homeowners are welcome to attend the Covenants Committee meetings. The applications are voted on at the public meetings.
- 48 hours after vote – Contact management via email or by phone and ask. The Committee makes every effort to notify management within the first 24 hours after a meeting with a summary of the decisions.
- Within five (5) working days after vote –Check this website (below). A summary of decisions will be posted here. Decisions refer to those cases where an application or appeal has either been approved or denied. Applications still in process (for example, those needing further information) are not included in this category. Contact management if your application is not on this list.
- Within 7-14 days – A letter reporting the Committee decision will be mailed to each applicant at the address provided on the application. Letters of approval, denial or those with specific approval conditions will be sent by first class mail. Letters of denial will reference specific reasons for the denial and are always subject to appeal. If you do not receive a letter within 14 days, please contact management.

The Covenants Committee intends to meet the second Wednesday of each month to review applications.
Times and location will be posted in the "Upcoming Events" section of the homepage.
Application Process:
- Fill out the application, ensuring you obtain your neighbor's signatures on the application. Neighbor signatures only indicate they are aware of the changes you intend to make, not that they approve them.
- Send the application, along with photos, drawings or pictures of your design (from a magazine, catalog, etc), plus the description of materials and colors to be used to Legum & Norman (address on the "Property Manager" link to the left).
- L&N will process the application and send it to the Covenants Committee to be reviewed and voted on during their monthly meeting.
- The Covenants Committee will advise L&N of their decision on the application, and L&N will send a letter to the applicant with that status (approved, disapproved with a reason why, or additional information required).
- Once the applicant receives the "application approved" notice, they are clear to begin making their improvements and changes as specified in their application.
