Architectural Committee

---

The Architectural Committee is a required group according to the Grand Oaks CCR’s  (Article 1 and Article 7).  The intention of the committee is to ensure the high quality visual standards of the Grand Oaks community.
 

The committee is composed of volunteer Grand Oaks HOA members.
 

​The committee is responsible for

• Approving/denying submitted plans for proposed changes to exteriors 
• Interpreting the architectural requirements of Grand Oaks
• Communicating with homeowners seeking approval 
• Reviewing non-approved changes for consistency with requirements
• Determining whether a home owner or resident is in violation of Architectural      Committee requirements

Obtaining approval is very much to your advantage, because approval is permanent: a project once approved is safe forever from any issues with the HOA.
 

If the work you are considering affects the appearance of the exterior of your home or your yard, seek approval from the Architecture Committee.  Failure to do so may result in a fine, and you could be required to restore the impacted area to its original state, at your own expense.  
 

​Contact the Architectural Committee before:

• Selecting new paint colors for the exterior of a home
• Selecting new color for the front door (the Committee has a tradition of approving a wide range of choices here)
• Building a structure (shed, pergola, etc…) which is visible from another yard or from the street  
• Making exterior changes such as changing/ adding/ removing 
• a porch
• new windows (where prior windows did not exist)
• a roof with a change in consistency or color 
• Moving fencing or adding additional fencing
• Landscape changes such as xeriscaping

Yes, but obtaining approval before doing the work is better as you do not risk being required to remove or redo unapproved work.
 

If you feel you have made a change in error or in potential conflict with the CCR’s or Architectural Committee Rules, you may reach out to CAM to work toward resolution at any time.
