Reminder: Exterior changes require Board approval

Dear Fellow Residents:

We have been having difficulties with people adding exterior lights to their residences without obtaining mandatory prior authorization.

The Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Easements and Liens of the Terrace at Highpointe Community Association Inc., which all Terrace homeowners are legally bound to follow, clearly states in Article VIII Section 8.03:

“No exterior addition, modification or alteration shall be made on or to such Unit or any other portion of the property or to the improvements located thereon, unless and until a plan or plans … shall have been submitted to and reviewed by the Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.”


If you have made any changes without submitting a proposal to the Architectural Review Committee, please bear in mind that you may be asked to remove them.Meanwhile, we strongly urge you to cease using such devices until, and if, proper authorization is achieved by first making application to the Architectural Review Committee. (see form below)

The Board of Directors, upon reviewing the findings of the Architectural Review Committee -- or determining that such findings have not been made because of lack of application, is legally empowered to request removal or turning off of such devices.

If ignored, the Board is empowered to levy both financial and non-financial penalties. A financial penalty, if not paid, becomes a lien against the property and any mortgage holder or other interested party will be made aware of such lien. A non-financial penalty could be ordering the physical removal of the device.

Than you for adhering to the rules and covenants of your Terrace community. Our goal is to keep this as pleasant and enjoyable a community as it has been since its founding in 1995. However, we can only do so when all residents cooperate, as they are required to do, in the running of the Terrace at Highpointe Community Association.

Your Board of Directors
