Architectural Review Applications– Only 7 formal applications received in FY2007
More work in completed in 2007 in our neighborhood than those (7) applications!
Increase Neighborhood Involvement– Make everyone aware of the bi-laws and neighborhood covenants that
they signed upon closing for their properties. Members of our HOA need to have their projects reviewed and approved
for the benefit of all our residents. Make sure that additions, sheds, fences, etc. meet or exceed our community
standards as well as the City of Flower Mound’s basic requirements. Need for follow-up with members that do not apply for approvals or ignore the
ACC recommendations.– Stern letters or site visits from members of the Board?– Turn the offending Members over to the City if no permit was issued?– What are the limits of our oversight?
