ARCHITECTURAL Applications
Exterior Change Requests – Weatherly Homeowners Association – Franklinton, NC
The process
The governing documents for the HOA require that owners seek approval from the HOA for any exterior changes to their lot. This is often referred to as an Architectural Request or Change.
Projects that require approval: fence install, new shed, driveway extension, new exterior paint colors, etc.
If you are replacing an exisitng deck or giving the exterior a fresh coat of the same color paint, please proceed. These are considered home owner maintenance items and do not require pre-approval.
If you are unsure if your project requires approval, it is always best to check first – send us an email.
what will be needed
All applications should include detailed, easy to understand drawings with a plot map outlining location within your property lines plus notes that include plans, elevations, construction details, colors, location, etc. as necessary to fully describe the proposed project.
NOTE: Generic statements like, “I want to install a fence.” can not be accepted and will delay the approval process.
