Each home must have a garage (cannot be converted to living area unless new garage at least 250 sq ft).
• Architectural review: No major exterior change (including color) may be made without prior written approval of the Architectural Committee. The Committee (up to 3 members appointed by the Board) reviews plans to ensure conformity with surroundings. Decisions may be appealed to the Board. If the Committee fails to act within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed granted.
