Before you alter or modify the exterior of your home in any way, you are first required to submit an Architectural Control Application to the Architectural Review Committee. 

 

Committee meets the 2nd & 4th
Saturday at 9:30am in the clubhouse,
residents are invited to attend.
 

ARC APPLICATION PROCEDURE 

1. The property owner will submit an architectural application for exterior change or alteration directly to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).  Applications will be accepted via the lock box located in the River Forest Clubhouse or by mailing them directly to the clubhouse at 9050 SW Pennsylvania Ave.  When the mail is picked up, these applications will be dropped into the lock box.  Upon receipt, the ARC will note the date of receipt and enter the request into a master architectural tracking form.

2. The ARC meets in the River Forest Clubhouse on the 2^nd and 4^th Saturday of the month at 10:30 am to review applications under consideration (unless otherwise posted on the web site and/or at the clubhouse).  Minutes of each meeting will be kept, and made available on the River Forest web site.

3.  The ARC reviews the application, verifying all necessary information and attachments are included.

4.  After reviewing each application, the ARC will approve or deny the request, documenting the decision in the appropriate section of the application and in the master tracking form.  The reason(s) for denial must be included. 

5.  Within two (2) business days of the ARC’s decision, the ARC will mail and/or hand deliver to the property owner of each application, an approval or denial letter.  Denial letters will be sent via certified mail.

6. The ARC will visually verify within thirty (30) days of an application being denied that the property owner did not make a change or alteration that was not approved.  A property owner found to be in violation of the ARC’s recommendation may be subject to fines and/or legal action.
