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:
| Preventing excessive or unsightly grading, indiscriminate earth moving or removal of
trees and vegetation which would scar natural land forms
|
| Ensuring that the location and configuration of structures are visually harmonious
with terrain and surrounding lots
|
| Ensuring that landscape plans provide pleasing settings and blend harmoniously with
the natural landscape
|
| 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.
|
One is under the control of the
Development Company ARB (DC-ARB) and it is presently responsible for the newer areas within
Woodside.
|
|
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:
Objectives
| Ensure compliance with the Covenants and Building Guidelines of Woodside
Plantation
|
| Provide a speedy and efficient process and organization for review and approval of
new construction and improvements
