COMMUNITY RULES

The Association, through its Board of Directors, has the authority to adopt and Modify Community Rules. Such rules are intended to be established only over Matters affecting community safety and welfare, the right of residents to the Peaceful enjoyment of their property and preservation of property values. Any Community rule lacking foundation in at least one of the foregoing objectives Will not enjoy member support.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (ARC) REVIEW AND APPROVALS

[formerly ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION COMMITTEE (EPCOM) ]

The Environmental Preservation Committee (EPCOM)[Architectural Review Committee (ARC)] of The Community Service Association generally reviews proposed changes only for architectural compatibility and the effect of a change on the obligations of the Association to its membership. The EPCOM [ARC] typically does not review requested modifications in terms of structural integrity or compliance with building codes or any other applicable local or state laws. Determining and achieving compliance of a modification with all applicable local, state and federal laws is the responsibility of the applying homeowners.

STANDING RESOLUTIONS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (ARC)

[formerly ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION COMMITEE (EPCOM)]

Not wanting the Declaration requirements for Environmental Preservation Committee (EPCOM) [now ARC] approval to be an impediment or unnecessary inconvenience to Members accomplishing certain generic types of improvements that are intended to enhance community aesthetics and property values, the EPCOM [ARC] has adopted resolutions (Standing Resolutions) for certain classes of improvements often undertaken by homeowners. The effect of a standing resolution is that if a member's improvement project satisfies the performance standards of the resolution, the project is considered approved without the necessity of formal application to the EPCOM [ARC]. The types of improvements for which standing resolutions exist are listed in the attachment [see Note below], along with copies of the standing resolutions themselves.

The fact that a homeowner's contemplated improvement project does not conform to all of the requirements of a standing resolution addressing the particular type of project is not necessarily a bar to the project being accomplished. The non-compliance simply means that the standing resolution can not be relied upon as the approval authority for accomplishing the change and that a formal application for approval must be made to the EPCOM [ARC], which will render its decision in the same manner as it would for any other type of project and request.

In acting on any Member's request for approval of a proposed home improvement project, the EPCOM [ARC] will consider each application on its own merit, always weighing whether the project is consistent with original design intent, where known, and community aesthetics, assessing the effect of the proposed change upon neighbors and the precedent setting effect of each approval granted. Any Member feeling strongly about a denial from the EPCOM [ARC] may appeal the EPCOM [ARC] decision to the BCLCSA Board of Directors, whose decision on the appeal shall be final.
