  1. Architectural Review

    1. Approval for construction required. No Dwelling, garage, building, post, fence, wall or other Improvement shall be commenced, erected, or maintained, nor shall any addition to or change or alteration to any of the aforesaid be made on a Lot, except interior alterations, until the construction plans and specifications, landscape plans showing the nature, design, kind, shape, height, materials, color scheme, and location of the Improvement on the Lot are submitted to and approved by the ARC.

    2. Architectural Review Committee. The Developer (and/or its designee) shall initially serve as the ARC; provided by no later than the time that the last Dwelling is constructed within the Subdivision, the ARC responsibilities shall be turned over to the Board. The ARC may engage a consulting professional to assist in it carrying out its responsibilities.

    3. Approval standards. The ARC may issue guidelines for construction and landscaping specifications, consistent with the terms of this Declaration. The ARC shall have the right to deny approval to any construction plans, landscape plans or specifications which are not suitable or desirable in its sole opinion, for aesthetic or other reasons. In so passing upon such construction plan or specification or landscape plans, the ARC shall have the right to take into consideration the suitability of the proposed construction or landscaping in relation to other homes in the Subdivision. It is understood and agreed that the purpose of architectural controls is to secure an attractive harmonious residential development having continuing appeal. The quality of architectural design will be considered in relation to this principle and the purposes of this Declaration. Such approval shall not be arbitrarily, capriciously, or unreasonably withheld.

      1. Two sets of all plans and specifications showing the nature, design, kind, shape, height, materials, color scheme, and location of the proposed Improvements; and,

      2. a site plan showing the Improvement's proposed placement on the Lot. Further, the Owner shall deliver a $200.00 fee, payable to the [Developer or its designee] Hunt Club Woods Homeowners Association, to defray the costs of review and shall furnish the address to which notices from the ARC should be delivered.

    5. Decision. The ARC shall approve or disapprove or require a modification of, the submittals as soon as practicable, but the ARC's written approval or disapproval shall in any event be given within 21 days after all the necessary submittals have been delivered to the ARC. If ARC disapproves any submittal, or if the ARC requires a modification of any kind, it shall, within said 21-day period, inform the Owner by whom the submittals were tendered, of the reasons for the ARC's disapproval or of the ARC's requirement that changes be made, but notwithstanding the obligation of ARC to state the reason for disapproval or for the required modifications, the decision of ARC, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. If the ARC does not approve, or disapprove, or require a modification, within the aforesaid 21-day period, then at the expiration of said period, the submittals to the ARC shall be deemed to have been fully approved, and the Owner, shall have the right to proceed as if the ARC's written approval has been procured.
