ABOUT YOUR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATIONS
Covenants are protective legal instruments that are binding on the owners of property in Kings Crossing. They establish and apply reasonable restrictions for land use, architectural design and property maintenance. They provide a review process for approval of exterior plans and improvements or changes to the property, as well as for new construction. They allow the Home Owners Association to enforce rules and regulations, and all properties are monitored to ensure compliance with the Covenants. Their purpose is to provide a means for maintaining the Kings Crossing community as an attractive and desirable place to live. Consistent application of the Covenants and Guidelines is designed to assure compatibility with the planned character of our community and the protection of our real estate values. Owners must have prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee for home construction plans, exterior home improvements or a new structure on any property.
Only the chair of the ARC can approve your ARC request. Please submit your ARC request at least 14 days in advance of your project start date to allow the volunteer members of the ARC Committee sufficient time to review and meet to discuss your request if necessary. The Committee will make every effort to respond as quickly as possible.
About the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) What is the purpose of the committee? The purpose of the committee is to maintain the quality of life and the property values by protecting the integrity of our Community in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration. Our Covenants state that no building, structure or improvement of any character shall be erected, placed, added to or altered on any lot until the building plans, specifications and a site plan showing the location of the proposed structure or structures have been submitted to and approved by Architectural Review Committee for the Homeowners Association as being in compliance with the restrictions as to use, nature of materials, harmony of external design with existing and proposed structures, and location of improvements with respect to lot boundary lines, building lines, proximity to the Golf Course, and within the scheme and design of Declarant. What action is required of owner(s)? Prior to making any change or improvement, any owner planning to change or add to the existing structures on a lot must submit a request in writing to the ARC stating the details of the intended change, improvement or need for variance and attaching samples or plans to more clearly describe the projected change or addition. If any change, improvement or action in variance from the Declaration is taken prior to written approval of the ARC, the Homeowners Association has the right to require the homeowner to remove the improvement(s) and/or change(s) from the property. What types of items require written approval? Some examples of improvements/alterations requiring written approval from the ARC include (refer to the Declaration for other details):
Can the committee grant variances for certain details? In exceptional cases, the committee is authorized to grant selective variances but the owner must request this variance, providing reasons why it should be granted so that the Committee can make an informed decision.
Why do we have to put everything in writing? The formal request and approval process is necessary to assure that every owner’s desire to improve his or her property can be given due process without discrimination. It will also provide the owner(s), the committee and the Homeowners Association Board with a permanent record of actions taken under the Declaration.

The ARC’s primary work is that of coordination, communication, review, and approval – not that of enforcement. The ARC will review and expedite requests that are consistent with the guidelines and apparent/established neighborhood/association standards. If the ARC approves your request, that approval signifies that your plan(s) meet the Homeowners Association's requirements for such property changes, and the homeowner will be deemed to be in compliance. If the ARC decides that some modifications to the plan(s) are required for an approval, we will contact you to discuss this. If the ARC decides to deny your request, you will have the option to appeal that decision to the Homeowners Association Board of Directors. In this way, the Board will be responsible for ARC decisions that may be controversial or potentially contested by a homeowner. Similarly, the ARC
However, if the homeowner disagrees with an ARC directive, or if the situation becomes “disagreeable,” that matter will be referred to the Board of Directors for review and adjudication. In short, the Board of Directors will become involved to address matters of enforcement and/or involuntary compliance.
