Architectural Review Process

To ensure maximum fairness and objectivity the AC has evaluated each home based on the following criteria:

• Mold / dark stains on the stucco
• Moisture damaged stucco
•  Chipped, peeling, or substantially faded paint
• Exposed wall anchors
• Bent, loose or missing siding
• Gutters and/or downspouts in disrepair
• Rusting metal surfaces
• Broken or missing shutters / other decorative elements
• Badly weathered/ deteriorated "hardware" (metal door handles, knobs, and locks; exterior, metal light fixtures attached to residence, etc.)
• Significantly dented/ damaged garage doors
• Extensive, visible termite damage, broken/missing/rotted elements (to fences, visible architectural elements, etc.)
• Improvement maintenance (e.g., driveway strips)

(These minimum standards were previously developed by the AC and approved by the Board - please see the documents on the right.)

The AC then adopted a rating scale for its volunteers to use to reflect the degree of severity/urgency of each maintenance condition for each house: 

1. No adverse observations 
2. Limited adverse observations, monitoring recommended, no action recommended at this time 
3. Limited adverse observations, monitoring recommended, warning recommended 
4. Fairly significant observations, action recommended
5. Significant observations, action required

Each committee volunteer was allocated a group of houses (excluding his/her own) to evaluate. Pictures were taken to document noted areas of concern.The AC then used the above scale (along with a total scoring for each house) to prioritize the most problematic houses in need of attention.

Once it's double-checked the scores needing action (3,4, and 5) the AC will forward its recommendations to the HOA Board of Directors for ultimate disposition.

We will share the most notable findings here.
