Demystifying the Architectural Control Committee in Lakemont
Following procedures for Architectural Control Committee approval can be confusing! When do we need to submit an ACC form for home changes?
Ready to start that new project this year?
A little background may help, as the word “Architectural Control Committee” seems to appear everywhere in our deed restrictions. ACC rules are established even before builders start construction, and an ACC Committee oversees many aspects, at least on the exterior, of your home as it is built. Later, as homeowners make changes and additions, the ACC rules still apply to homeowners to ensure the community appearance remains harmonious.

ACC does a great deal more, though. The submission process helps discover unanticipated problems before you build or buy. It is important not to build on an easement, to consider the elevation and drainage impact, and to select materials and sizes that are appropriate for the structure and will hold up. There are esthetic considerations also, and even when we think we want complete flexibility, an ACC Committee helps to avoid neon green when we thought it would look pale green! Not sure if you need approval. Contact Graham for any questions.
