Reminder: Architectural Approval Required for Exterior Changes

Maintaining the aesthetic harmony and structural integrity of our community is a shared responsibility. We would like to remind all homeowners of the guidelines regarding modifications to the exterior of your units.

What Requires Approval?

1. “Walls Out” & Exterior Modifications

Any changes made to the “walls out” portion of your building require a formal request and approval before work begins. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Windows and Sliders: Replacements or style changes.
• Front Doors: Painting, hardware updates, or replacements.
• Satellite Dishes: Placement and installation.
• Affixed Items: Anything attached or drilled into the building exterior.

How to Submit a Request?

Before starting your project, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Architectural Review Request link located at the top of the website menu.
2. Download and complete the required paperwork.
3. Submit your documentation for review by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).

Please Note: Commencing work without written approval may result in violation notices. In some cases, homeowners may be required to reverse the work and restore the property to its original condition at their own expense.

Also note: if you purchased the condo with governing document violations, the new homeowner carries the burden of reversing the violation. Per California law: HOA violations, especially architectural ones, generally “run with the land,” meaning the new owner inherits the issue.

Questions?

If you are unsure if your project requires an application or if you need help with the forms, please contact TMT directly for guidance.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community looking its best!
