ARB Members:
The Architectural Review Board (ARB) members are
all volunteer Exeter single family and townhouse
homeowners who have an interest in maintaining
the high aesthetic and architectural standards
of our community. Any Exeter homeowner in good
standing (current in their assessment payments
and with no outstanding architectural or covenant
violations) may become a member and any Exeter
homeowner can participate in the meetings.
The ARB has an ARB committee elected president,
vice president and secretary.
Mission:
According to the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions Article VIII:
"
The Architectural Review Board shall regulate
the external design, the appearance and locations
of the Property and improvements thereon in
such a manner so as to preserve and enhance
values and to maintain harmonious relationship
among structures and the natural vegetation
and topography."
The ARB applies and interprets the Architectural
Regulations as outlined in the Exeter Homeowners
Association Homeowners Handbook. Members do
not police or enforce the guidelines. Enforcement
is the responsibility of the community management
company. The ARB can recommend regulation modifications,
revisions, or deletion, however, only the Board
of Directors can change a regulation.
Procedures:
The ARB reviews architectural modification
applications and architectural modification
completion forms. The
Architectural Modification Application Processing
document describes
the full procedure. A homeowner undertaking
an architectural modification fills out an
application and sends it to the management
company. The management company checks the
application for completeness of information.
If the application is complete, the management
company distributes it to the ARB.
A member reviews the application, and if
approved, sends it to a second member for
review. When approved, the second application
reviewer
returns the application to the management
company who notifies the homeowner. The ARB
has forty-five days from the management company's
receipt of the application to respond to
an application. The application can be held
until a meeting for review, should a question
arise during review. If an application is
denied, it is returned to the management
company, and the management company informs
the homeowner.
Once a modification is completed, the homeowner
returns a signed architectural modification
completion form. An ARB member inspects the
modification and determines compliance with
the original approved application.
Voting Privileges:
A new member is not eligible to vote immediately;
voting rights are granted at the third meeting.
A new member shall receive an ARB binder
at the second consecutive meeting attended.
ARB members are approved by the Board of
Directors. Yearly elections for president,
vice president and secretary are held at
the June meeting.
Meetings:
ARB meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Exeter
clubhouse every third Thursday of each month.
