Architectural Control Guidelines - updated

The board of directors approved several minor changes or clarifications to the Architectural Guidelines at the May 20, 2025 meeting. Here is a summary. The complete document can be found on the Documents page of this website.

• Specify a 10-foot setback (from front) for an end-unit townhome side-yard fence.

Fences are only allowed in back or side yards and cannot extend beyond the front of your home or adjacent homes. The fence cannot appear to be in your neighbor’s front yard due to lot configuration.  Townhome fences that wrap around the side of end-units must be set back at least ten feet from the front of the home.

2. Allow a plastic/rubber type shed for single family yards.  This type shed is already allowed in townhome yards. 3.42

Certain types of permanent storage sheds are permitted as described below. Different rules apply to sheds for single family homes and sheds for townhomes due to the difference in yard size. All sheds must be in general conformity and harmony with existing structures on surrounding lots and must be well maintained.  Construction of the shed may be of wood with an asphalt shingle roof. Wood sheds must be painted to match the siding and trim colors of the house or matching vinyl siding may be used. The shingle color is to match the existing roof on the house. Also, Plastic/rubber sheds made by companies such as Rubbermaid (available at local building supply stores) are acceptable. These sheds must be beige, green or brown color.  No metal sheds are permitted.  All sheds require an application.

3. Clarify shed location for single family lots (near the rear property line). 3.42.1

The shed must be located between the rear of the house and the rear property line (in the back yard, not on the side of the house), as close as practical to the rear property line, and set back 6 feet or more from adjoining property lines (side and rear).  Design of the shed should be in harmony with the architecture of the community.
