Architectural Review Board
The Covenants establish an Architectural Review Board (ARB)  for the stated purposes of preserving the natural beauty of Woodside Plantation and its setting, to maintain a pleasant and desirable environment, to establish and preserve a harmonious design for the community, and to protect and promote the value of property.
A summary of the ARB objectives, which are listed in the Covenants, is as follows:
bullet
Preventing excessive or unsightly grading, indiscriminate earth moving or removal of trees and vegetation which would scar natural land forms
bullet
Ensuring that the location and configuration of structures are visually harmonious with terrain and surrounding lots
bullet
Ensuring that landscape plans provide pleasing settings and blend harmoniously with the natural landscape
bullet
Promoting building design and construction techniques that respond to energy consumption and environmental quality considerations
To meet these objectives the Covenants require that all construction, all improvements of any type including (but not limited to) pools and fences, and all landscape plans must be submitted to and approved by the ARB.  The implementation of the objectives is contained in the Building Guidelines.
There are two functioning ARB's within Woodside. 
bullet
One is under the control of the Development Company ARB (DC-ARB) and it is presently responsible for the newer areas within Woodside.
bullet
The second ARB, which is described further, is under the control of the Property Owners Association (PO-ARB) and is responsible for all other areas within Woodside.  In accordance with the Covenants, the PO-ARB was established on January 1, 1999.  Prior to that date the DC-ARB was the only ARB in operation. When newer platted sections reach the point that 65% of the buildable lots have certificate of occupancies, that section's control will transition from the DC-ARB to the POA-ARB.
The PO-ARB has established Objectives and Administrative Procedures to guide their operation.  These objectives and procedures are as follows:
