Restrictions Committee would like to present the following
guidelines to all prospective applicants for structural additions or
changes to the dwellings in the community.
The Restrictions Committee will make every effort to act quickly on
your application and will try to approve any submission which satisfies
the criteria by which the Committee MUST
assess each application. These criteria are: Baltimore
County Code and the Covenants of Restrictions for the community. The
Committee cannot change any of these criteria. We will make every
effort to approve a submission or work with any recipient of a denied
application to help change the application so that it may be approved.
WHEN do I apply?
At least 30 DAYS BEFORE
construction/changes begin. This will give the Committee time to
act on your application.
HOW do I apply?
Write a letter to the Committee specifying WHAT
you want to do, WHO you
are, WHERE live and your phone
number. Include the following details, if appropriate: (1)
Dimensions--length, width, height; (2) Materials to be used (3) Color; (4)
Location on your property in relation to your residence and your property
line; (5) Any other information you feel may be relevant or important with
regard to the proposed project.
Include a sketch -- hand drawn
is fine. Include the sketch in or with the letter. Sign and date
the letter (and the sketch) and present two (2)
copies of both to any Committee member. Your address should be on
both the letter and the sketch. The
committee member will sign both copies and date them in your
presence, starting the 30 day period for review. Since we must
retain a copy of all applications, we cannot
accept single copies of drawings, etc.
