Cresswind Rules & Regulations Manual 5-3.1. General: (h) Under certain circumstances, improvements may be made to Community Common Property with approval of the Architectural Review Committee and/or the Landscape Committee and the Association Board of Directors. It is the intent of the Association to allow residents to landscape and hardscape (excluding fences) berms and slopes which are adjacent to certain lots in the Community. Before any improvements can be made, homeowners must submit requests to the Architectural Review Committee and/or the Landscape Committee for review and approval, and then final approval by the Board of Directors. Do I need to ask for approval if I am painting my house exactly the same colors? Yes, you do. The Cresswind Community Manager uses your request for approval as a means of tracking when you last painted your house, so it is important for you to submit this request. You will receive an approval letter from the Cresswind Community Manager, but you do not need to wait to receive the approval letter before you begin.
