Architectural Request

TROON AT KILDAIRE CA

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 commonly referred to as an Architectural Change Application. Projects that require approval: deck additions, deck expansion, large scale landscape additions, etc. – any new addition to the exterior.  

If you are preparing to perform an owner maintenance item – such as replacing an exising deck, giving the exterior a fresh coat of the same paint colors or seasonal landscaping – please proceed. These types of projects are not considered architectural change

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.

NOTE: Generic statement like, “I want to add a shed to my backyard.” can not be accepted and will delay the approval process.

signature page

Your neighbors have the right to know of your future plans.  Please speak with all property owners having common lot lines with your property along with property owners who may reasonably view the improvement from their property. This discussion is not for approval or denial of any application. It is simply acknowledgment of the changes you are proposing and they may click here if they wish to submit any concerns to the HOA. Note, the HOA will not approve most applications without this signature page – but the HOA will start the review process while signatures are being acquired. A signature form will be included with all submission receipts; or owners can print them out now here – Neighbor Signature Page.

response time

The Review Committee has up to 30 days to render an official decision. To speed up this turnaround time, include as many details as possibl – such as the neighbor signature form.

obtaining a plot map

Search your address using the Wake County iMap tool. You can use the birds eye view may that refreshes as long as the lot lines are included. You may need to click on “Deeds” in the bottom menu for a more detailed plot map.

tips
