HEARINGS
A.     Acct. 2530312012 – Paint Denial – The brick home was previously painted blue prior to the ARC Guidelines 2022 revision which prohibits the painting or any other application that changes the appearance of a home’s brickwork. The new owners, not knowing of the current restrictions, re-painted the home white without prior approval. As the brickwork was already painted, the board granted a variance to allow the color change. However, the homeowners have been advised that any area where the original blue paint is bleeding through will need to be repainted.
B.     Acct. 2530214011 – Fence Denial – The homeowner installed two new sections of fence using pine pickets. The homeowner stated that he didn’t think he needed to submit this for approval since it was only two short sections and he was replacing with what he believed to be the same materials. The Board has granted a variance to allow the pine pickets with the condition that he stain them with a clear cedar color stain.
