B. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE
FCHOA Purchaser's Handbook - Revision Date: 2021-01-10
1. In order to achieve the development intent, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) was created in Section VI of the Amended & Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants to provide reasonable and objective control over site planning, architecture, and landscaping design. In the form of legal structure, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is a Standing Committee of the FCHOA Board of Directors. The ARC Members are appointed by the FCHOA Board of Directors.
2. Control is secured through systematic and uniform review and inspection procedures and surety deposits held as potential liquidated damages for failure to comply with ARC policies and directives. The intent of the exercise of this control is to preserve the environmental quality of the community, to promote design excellence, and to maintain or enhance property values.
3. The residential covenants, restrictions and easements are clearly stated in the subdivision plats, and the FCHOA Amended & Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants, Bylaws, and the Supplemental Covenants for each Section of homesites. Each Property Owner and Applicant to the ARC should be sure they have thoroughly read and understand the above documents.
The following sections have specific requirements stated in their respective Supplemental Covenants: Section VIII and VIII-B (Highland Hills and Killarney); Section X (St. Andrew’s Village); Section XII (Nottingham Place); Section XIV-A (North Turnberry); Section XIV-B (South Turnberry); Section XXX (Southport); Section XXXI (Western Gailes); Section XXXII (Berkshire); Section XXXIII (Eaglescliffe); XXXIV (Knob Hill); and Section XXXV (Westport). A Supplement for multi-family construction was approved in 2020 and is updated from time to time and is available on the FCHOA.org website.
