3.         The Architectural Committee and Board of Managers must review all applications for change to an exterior of a condominium or surrounding grounds.

 

4.         The Board of Managers realize that from time to time applications for improvements will be made that may not fall within the established guidelines.  The Board of Managers will remain flexible in its actions, however, all applications for improvements will be evaluated on:

 

a.         The harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding units in the Piper Landing.

 

b.         The potential for future maintenance problems or expenditures which the installation or change might cause the Association.

 

5.         To facilitate the above and to maintain complete and accurate records, an application form must be submitted and approved prior to making any change or addition to exterior or grounds.  NO work should begin until written approval is received.

 

6.         Examples of items not permitted are statues, figurines, birdhouses, birdbaths, bird and/or animal feeding devises.


 

 

            ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL REQUEST FORM

                                            PROCEDURES

 

 

Any Unit Owner desiring to make any change or improvement to any common or limited common area MUST REQUEST AND OBTAIN APPROVAL from the Board of Managers.  The procedure for this is as follows:

 

1.         Submit an application to the Committee with an attached complete description of the improvement with a drawing, photograph or catalog picture or specification, including colors and materials as appropriate, and attached (if applicable) the subcontractors Insurance Certificate Number and a copy of a current insurance liability policy.

 

2.         The Committee will review applications and present to the Board of Managers for final approval, disapproval, or deferred pending additional or alternative recommendations for the improvement.  The Unit Owner will receive a written notice of the Board of Managers action.

 

3.         Any changes or improvements made by a Unit Owner are the responsibility of the Unit Owner for maintenance, repair, and/or replacement.

 

4.         Unauthorized changes or improvements must be removed and the area restored to original conditions at the discretion of the Board of Managers and/or the Committee.  Removal will be at the expense of the Unit Owner.

 

5.         If a resident refuses to remove a change or addition which had been installed without prior approval of the Board of Managers, the Management Company may be called to remove the changes or additions and any and all costs involved including attorney fees will be charged as an assessment and collectable as any assessment may be collected.

 

 

The purpose of requiring Board of Managers approval is not to discourage improvements but to limit improvements to those that enhance the value and conform to the overall aesthetic appearance of the units.  THIS CONTROL SHOULD BE LOOKED UPON AS A PROTECTION OF YOUR INVESTMENT, NOT AS A NUISANCE.  The Board of Managers, the Committee and the Association members are in favor of improvements and hope that Unit Owners will want to personalize their homes inside since it will ultimately add value to the entire Piper Landing.

 

Improvement Application Forms are available upon request at the Management office. 

A sample form is included in the Exhibits section.
