When you’re ready to request approval:
1. Gather the required supporting documents:
a) Site survey - For new builds it must show the location of the new structure on the lot with distances noted between the structure and the lot lines. For additions it needs to show the location of the current building, plus an expansion of the current footprint with distances noted between the structure and the lot lines.
b) Building/Floor Plans/Blueprints
c) Materials List
d) Construction Schedule
2. Fill out the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Request Form completely. Acceptable formats are PDF or MS Word.
