MEMO of Standing Approval of Screen / Storm Entry Doors

(April 14, 2003)

TO: Back Creek Landing Homeowners

FROM: The Back Creek Landing Community Service Association (CSA) Environmental Preservation Committee (EPCOM)

RE: Screen/Storm Entry Doors

In response to resident requests to the Environmental Preservation Committee for approval of screen/storm entry doors, this memo serves to advise residents of standing EPCOM approval of such an installation that conforms to the following standards:

• doors may be a screen or storm door only or storm-screen combination, substitutable in season;
• the storm/screen panel of the door shall be full height, with no half-height solid doors being permitted except by special approval of EPCOM;
• the storm/screen panel may have up to fifteen (15) lites (sections);
• frame finish for the storm/screen door shall be white or the color of the home;
• door frame shall be a plain, flush section, unadorned by any other decorative design.

Through approval of storm/screen doors installed in the manner described above, the EPCOM intends its action to facilitate resident efforts towards energy conservation. The screen section promotes better cross ventilation which reduces air-conditioning requirements in the summer, and the storm section reduces heating costs during cold weather.

A pictorial example of the type of door approved for installation is attached.

Other styles of storm/screen [doors] may be submitted for approval on case-by-case basis, but such submittals are not encouraged.

If you have any questions concerning the above, you should contact the EPCOM Chairman, Steve Seawright, at (301) 657-7126.
