January 2022 ARC Message

Wishing you a Happy New Year from the Architectural Review Committee!!!!

Over the last year and a half Waterways has received an influx of new
residents. I’m sure some of you are wondering how you can be more
involved in the neighborhood without a huge time commitment. The
Architectural Review Committee is a great way to dip your toe into
being more involved in our neighborhood. We meet every other week
and our meetings commonly last 30-45 minutes. We review resident
requests for changes to the outside of their homes. Our job is to
ensure that the changes that the homeowner requests are permissible
within the restrictions of our HOA covenants and match the aesthetic
of the neighborhood.

If you are interested in joining the ARC, please
send an email to Heather the ARC Coordinator at
waterwaysarc@gmail.com.

What is an Architectural Review Committee?

In large communities, an architectural control committee is formed by
the Board of Directors to oversee these standards and to ensure
requests are handled in a timely manner. The purpose of
the architectural review is to ensure uniformity throughout the
community.

What does an architectural review committee do?

The Architectural Review Committee, or ARC, is ultimately the
people who are responsible for interpreting and enforcing the
architectural guidelines of the community.

NOTICE:

Homeowners may continue to submit ARC requests through email
(WaterwaysARC@gmail.com), by dropping off in the Dropbox at the
clubhouse, or by giving directly to Astrid, the HOA manager during
her office hours. The ARC January 2022 meeting dates will be 1/3, 1/17
& 1/31 at 7 pm in the clubhouse.

JUST A REMINDER:

Any changes to the outside of your home MUST be approved by email
or letter by the ARC before any work commences. If you have any
questions on whether a project involves an ARC request please email
prior to starting the project. If you begin work prior to receiving an
authorization number you may be subject to fines.

Please remember that all ARC requests must also have supporting
documentation included in order to be reviewed. That list may be
found under the ARC section of the Waterways website or in the
boxes outside of the HOA office. For roofing/pool/large construction
projects please include the contractor licensing and insurance
information as well. PLEASE INCLUDE A CLEARLY WRITTEN EMAIL
ADDRESS ON YOUR ARC REQUEST! We prefer to notify homeowners
via email of approval/denial so that we have a written record.
