The recognition of future maintenance problems or expenditures the installation might cause the Association. • 3. Adherence to the guidelines established in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions dated May 9, 1989.

The Process For The Homeowner • Review the guidelines at http://www.highlandviewhomeowners.org/architectural_guidelines.htm • Obtain the Application From the Website or the Management Company • Fill the form out and submit with drawings or photos of plans by email or postal service to Management Company

  14. The Committee’s Process • Receive the applications electronically and by mail. • Review the application and provide email feedback to the Chair. • Discuss as needed amongst members. • Committee given 30 days to provide an answer, but recently turnaround time is usually less than 2 weeks.

  15. The Committee’s Process (Continued) • We have no desire to be nasty, critical , or obstructive. • But our job is to try to interpret and uphold the guidelines and modify them as needed. • At times this can lead to conflict. Sorry.

  16. Current Topics • Mailboxes • Covenants state mailboxes need to be “uniform”, but some variations in maintenance exist • Could we have more than one option? • 2007 Annual Survey showed 57% would like one other choice • Goal of looking into various options at this time • No brick mailboxes
