All construction and landscaping shall be promptly completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. There shall be no change or deviation from the approved plans and specifications (including changes in exterior colors of roofs, siding, shutters, etc.) without the prior written approval of the Architectural Control* Committee.
[Welcome Packet SRR] The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is made up of two owners and one Board member. Before any landscaping, improvements, renovations or building commences on any lot, the Homeowner must submit a request to the Architectural Control Committee with a description of any changes.
All landscaping, improvements, renovations and building must be done in accordance with the covenants, conditions and restrictions to which all Wood's Edge properties are subject and must be approved by the ACC in writing prior to initiation.
Examples of changes that must be approved by the ACC:
a) Any changes in exterior color scheme. Each building must retain the same colors as the original color scheme. Full view glass storm doors that are the same color as the trim (neutral) on the building, or if manufactured - the color of your front door are acceptable.
b) Any requests to build or enlarge a deck.
c) Installation and placement of a satellite dish. Satellite Dishes are permitted, as long as they do not interfere with neighbor's view or property. They must be installed to the rear of any building. However, if no reception is available at the rear of any property, the Committee may approve another area that is not noticeable from the street.
d) Installation of awnings. Retractable awnings may not be installed on the roof. Installation must be under the soffit. Awnings must have a wind sensor in order to prevent damage to the building.
e) Installation of flag and/or flagpole.
* * All owners should check whether a building permit is required from Manor Township Zoning, before applying to the Architectural Control Committee for any improvements to the exterior of their homes.
The Architectural Control Committee ensures that the covenants, conditions and restrictions are observed and that our Community continues to project an attractive and desirable environment for all Owners.
