ARCHITECTURAL Applications
Exterior Change Requests – Stirrup Creek
THE PROCESS
The governing documents for the HOA require that owners seek approval from the HOA for any exterior changes to their lot. This is often referred to as an Architectural Request or Change.
Projects that require approval: fence install, new shed, driveway extension, new exterior paint colors, large scale landscape changes, etc.
If you are replacing an existing deck or giving the exterior a fresh coat of the same color paint, please proceed. These are considered home owner maintenance items and do not require pre-approval.
For all large scale projects, we strongly encourage all owners to speak with affected neighbors about pending project(s). It is important that owners inform neighbors about large projects so that they know to expect construction, workers, noise, traffic, etc.
If you are unsure if your project requires approval, it is always best to check first – send us an email.
what will be needed
All applications should include detailed, easy to understand drawings with a plot map outlining location within your property lines plus notes that include plans, elevations, construction details, colors, location, etc. as necessary to fully describe the proposed project. Please include as many details as possible to summarize your exterior change plans. The more details the better.
NOTE: Generic statements like, “I want to install a fence.” will not be accepted and will delay the approval process.
