Restrictions |
| While
condominium living provides shared benefits that many
single-structure residents cannot afford, community living
requires uniformity and consistency to maintain property
values. If considering an architectural variance please
comply with the following procedures and guidelines. All
exterior and/or interior alterations or improvements must
be approved by the Board of Directors prior to
installation. Failure to comply may be cause for FINE
and removal and/or replacement at the homeowner's expense. |
| General
Procedure for Requesting an Architectural Change: |

thereof.
