Maintaining your home requires repairs and replacement of various parts of the unit’s exterior. No structure, building, addition, deck, patio, fence, wall, enclosure, window, exterior door, or any other exterior replacements, improvements, or alterations (visible from the exterior of the unit) are to be started until an application (explained at Application Forms) has been submitted and approved by the Architecture Control Committee (and the Board, depending upon the application).
It is the ACC Committee’s responsibility to work with you to make this a smooth process. To help streamline the application process the ACC has divided the Units to work with Committee Members. Please send your application or question to Amelia Meyer at Cedar Management (ameyer@cedarmanagement.com) to bring it to the Committee Member assigned to your Pod.
It is our belief that this process will help applicants understand the standards in our association by-laws and streamline the process of exterior improvement.
Thank you for adhering to our process!

Landscaping is concerned with the use of the grounds outside the units, such as plants in the ground, rocks, stones, and any other use outside the unit that comes in contact with the ground. This falls under the Grounds Committee. Landscaping in front of the unit is not covered with the ACC standards. All information pertaining to landscaping may be requested from the Grounds Committee, and planting and any modifications to the landscaping must be approved by Grounds Committee in advance.
