ASHTON GLENN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY OF COVENANTS

            The Association’s governing document is called the Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements.  If you were not given this legal document at the time of your closing, you should contact your settlement attorney.  As an owner, you are responsible for complying with the content of the document.  Two areas of importance are presented in part:

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE (Article V)

            The purpose of the Association’s Architectural Control Committee (ACC) is to review requests from homeowners for property site and home improvements by homeowners, and to ensure that the improvements are in keeping with the appearance standards of the community.  Examples include:

                        Structures of any type.

                        A change in the exterior color of your house or trim on the house

                        Changes in landscaping

                        Removal of trees

Fencing of any type

                        Lake line treatments for lake lots

            In summary, any additions, improvements or changes to the exterior of your home or lot must be approved by the ACC.  Avoid a problem in the future by going through this simple process before you start the work.  Please submit in writing your drawings, lot plans and specifics on materials (type, color, etc.) to the Ashton Glenn Architectural Control Committee.
