Architectural Review

All members or residents who plan any change in landscaping, exterior finishing (paint, stain), or structural changes to the dwelling, or the addition or expansion of decks, fences, or landscaping, large flags or flags on poles, are required to submit a complete set of plans to the Board of Directors for review by the Architectural Review Committee 30 days in advance of planned commencement of such project. Paint/stain samples are available at the Clubhouse, that show the “earth tones” that are permitted to be used.

Failure to comply or submit plans of an adequate nature or to provide adequate time for the proper review and approval from the Board of Directors can result in court proceedings consisting of a restraining order/injunction and liability for the associated costs. The Association may require the repainting of unacceptable colors and the dismantling of unacceptable structures.

Proposals should be submitted to any member of the Board of Directors or to the Chairperson of the Architectural Review Committee.

The Board of Directors will approve or reject the plan after review by the Architectural Review Committee and receipt of its recommendation. The Board of Directors will proceed to act on its own if the Committee fails to make a recommendation within two weeks’ time.

Fences

Residents are responsible for maintenance of any fence erected on the lot, including trimming of lawn and control of volunteer trees immediately adjacent to the fence, on both sides of the fence.

Before installing a fence, the installation company/owner must do the following:

1. Submit a proposal indicating height, style, and material to be used;

2. Get signatures from neighbors, on both sides of the property, approving the fence;

3. Call the Digger’s Hotline at 402-344-3565;

4. Have a survey delineating exact property lines; and

Sign a form agreeing to be responsible for maintenance of the fence.

Private Decks

Private deck areas and stairs not serving the main entrance of the townhomes, private patios, and private fences are the owner’s responsibilities.

• If a safety issue becomes apparent, the Association may step in and correct the problem. Any financial burden undertaken by the Association to correct the safety issue will be assess against the homeowner.

• In the event it becomes necessary to partially or completely dismantle areas not maintained by the Association, in order for the Association to do proper repair work on areas which are the Association’s responsibility, the Association will restore the dismantled area to its original state at the Association’s cost.
