ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL

---

Article IV, Section #. Before beginning construction of any type improvement/change, including but not limited to any dwelling, garage, driveway or fencing, the lot owner must obtain written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) in regard to the design, location, materials and proposed color scheme for such improvement/change. A Permit is required by the Township. The lot owner(s) contractor or representative must submit to the ACC the proposed building plans, exterior color scheme, materials and the site plan for the proposed improvement/change. In addition, the ACC may require other items in order to make its decision on approval. If the ACC does not respond in writing within 15 days after receiving all required or requested items, the request will be deemed approved. Any improvements/changes done without requesting and obtaining written approval will result in legal action described in the Declaration of Covenants and restrictions relating to the Plat of Binder Park Hills & By- Laws.
