From Your Architectural Liaison By Diane Botica SRCA Architectural Liaison
It’s as Easy as 1-2-3: Using the Plan Your Project Checklist All architectural applications have a required list of items to be submitted with the application for processing. These are conveyed in prepared individual project lists that are called “project checklists” for your ease. Using our “plan your project” guide on the website you can easily prepare your submittal and turn in all the required documents and pictures in one easy communication. For example, if you decided that you want to change your front door and you send in an application and write in the description of “replace front door” and submit just the application, we will not have enough information to process your request. We need the new front door picture, existing front door picture, new door materials, color of metal or wood, glass information and information as to the existing side lights and transom windows. Will these windows be removed/replaced or if they will remain? All these items are listed on the entry doors project checklist. This generates a follow up email when the checklist of required items is sent to you so the information can be received, and the submittal can be processed. If the attached checklist is not followed and a reply email is received with only a picture of the new door, this is not all the required information. Another email is now to be generated. Often it takes up to 2 weeks and sometimes longer of back and forth communications to gather all the necessary information for processing. This information is conveniently listed on the website, on the same page as the architectural application in the checklist of items required for processing this type of submittal. To help reduce the time to process your submittal especially during these busy times, please find the checklists to be your friendly tool to making your life easier. Just click the house picture on the front page of the www.scottsdaleranch.org website that says Plan my Project. This will guide you to submitting the required information to properly submit an architectural review. Please remember…when in doubt, submit.
