Proposed Amendment: Grandfathering of Existing Improvements
Amendment to Article VII | Grandfathering of Pre-Existing Improvements
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained within the Declaration, Bylaws, or Community Guidelines, all non-vehicular improvements, structures, or additions that were constructed, installed, or in place on a Lot prior to March 16, 2026, shall be deemed compliant and are hereby permanently approved.
Such improvements may include, but are not limited to, fences, sheds, pergolas, play structures, and other similar non-vehicular structures.
All qualifying improvements shall be considered “grandfathered” and shall not be subject to enforcement action, including but not limited to violation notices, fines, penalties, or required removal, provided that:
-
The improvement remains in substantially the same location and footprint as originally constructed.
-
The improvement is maintained in a safe and reasonable condition so as not to pose a hazard or nuisance to the community.
-
The improvement does not violate applicable municipal codes, ordinances, or safety requirements.
This grandfathering provision applies only to improvements existing as of March 16, 2026. Any new construction, modification, replacement, or expansion of such improvements after this date shall be subject to all current and future Architectural Control Committee (ACC) guidelines, approval processes, and enforcement provisions.
Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to waive the Association’s right to enforce restrictions related to property maintenance, health and safety concerns, or violations of applicable law.
