If you would like to make a structural change, appearance change, or addition to your Lot, a written request must be made to the Architectural Control Committee at PO Box 393 Fruita, Colorado 81521. Once your request is received, the ACC will review your request and may request copies of all plans, specifications, and other materials for the project. Within 30 days after the complete submission of copies of all plans, specifications, and other materials requested by the ACC, they will make a recommendation to the Board and the Board will reply to your request in writing.
Please read the following section of the CCRs for more detailed information:
Article V, Section 2 Declaration of Covenants for the Cotton Woods Homeowner's Association
Review by Committee. No structure or any attachment to an existing structure, any building, fences, walls, canopies, awnings, roofs, exterior lighting facilities, athletic facility, or other similar improvements or attachments, shall be constructed, erected, placed or installed upon the Property and no alteration of the material or appearance (including color) of the exterior of a residence or other structure shall be made, and no change in the final grade of any Lot shall be performed, unless copies of plans and specifications therefor (said plans and specification to show exterior design, height, colors, materials, location of the structure or addition to the structure, as well as such other materials and information as may be required by the Committee) shall have been first submitted to and approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. The plans and specifications so submitted shall comply in all respects with the applicable building and zoning regulations of the City of Fruita, County of Mesa. The Architectural Control Committee shall exercise its reasonable judgment to the end that all attachments, improvements, construction, landscaping and alterations to residences, other structures, and property within the Property (subdivision), conform to and harmonize with the existing surroundings, residences, landscaping and structures. In its review of such plans, specifications and other materials and information, the Architectural Control Committee may require that the applicant(s) pay the Committee a processing fee for the actual expenses incurred by the Committee in the review and approval process. Such amounts, if any, may be levied as part of the common expense assessment against the Lot for which the request for Architectural Control Committee approval was made and, as such, shall be subject to the Association's lien for assessments and subject to all other rights of the Association for the collection thereof, as more fully provided in this Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Owner shall have the right to materially alter or modify the original fencing, landscaping or grading installed by Declarant within the Common Area; provided, however, that the foregoing prohibition shall not prevent the repair and maintenance of the same so long as the repair or maintenance restores such items to their original condition. All dwellings shall have a minimum of 1,100 square feet of livable space and all structures shall have an exterior finish of vinyl siding
