EASTVIEW  ARCHITECTURAL  REVIEW  COMMITTEE

The Eastview Architectural Review Committee (ARC) reports directly to the Eastview RB Community Center Board and is responsible for architectural continuity throughout the Eastview community, including each Association and its membership. ARC is comprised of five committee members representing all Eastview HOAs.  ARC members serve a term of five years; however, if no one is available to replace an ARC member whose term has expired, the Board has the authority to determine, by vote, if the current ARC member can remain on ARC until someone is appointed to complete the term.

AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY

ARC's primary commitment is to uphold Eastview community’s aesthetic integrity and quality standards, and to help maintain strong property values for all Eastview homes. The Eastview RB Community Center ARC is responsible for all architectural decisions as they relate to Patio I, Patio II, and Duplex Associations and their members.

REVIEW PROCESS

All ARC applications, (e.g. Duplex, Patio I, and Patio II) must first be submitted to the Eastview RB Community Center ARC to be properly documented and processed. 

Duplex Applications

With regard to Duplex applications only, ARC first logs the applications and then immediately forwards them to the Duplex HOA Board, with any attachments, prior to ARC’s review.  ARC will not review Duplex applications until at least 30 days have passed from the date ARC forwarded the application to the Duplex Board.  If the Duplex Board does not respond to ARC within this 30-day time frame, ARC will contact the Duplex Board for its decision. If ARC is unable to reach the Board, ARC will presume the Board has approved the application, and ARC will proceed with its review.

Patio I and Patio II Applications

Patio I and Patio II ARC applications are first logged and then reviewed during ARC’s next regularly scheduled meeting. However, if an application indicates work that requires approval by a Patio I or Patio II HOA Board, ARC will review the application and forward it, with any attachments, to the HOA Board for review.

The Patio I and/or Patio II Board must return the original application, with the HOA Board’s decision documented in writing on the application, to ARC within 30 days from the date ARC forwarded the application to the HOA Board.  If the HOA Board does not respond to ARC within this 30-day time frame, ARC will contact the HOA Board for its decision. If ARC is unable to reach the HOA Board, ARC has the authority to proceed with its review.

ARC MEETINGS

ARC meets on the second Tuesday of each month to review and process architectural requests. Please verify the meeting time with an ARC member or the Community Center office if you plan to attend. All ARC applications are to be submitted to ARC at the Community Center office seven (7) days prior to the meeting date. Homeowners are welcome to attend ARC meetings to discuss their application(s).  ARC reviews application requests on a per-case basis for all exterior alterations and/or modifications.  ARC’s decisions are final.

RIGHT OF APPEAL

Homeowners have the right to appeal ARC’s decision by first submitting their written request to the Community Center Board no later than seven (7) days in advance of the Board meeting, scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month at 7: 00 p.m.

The homeowner will then appear before the Eastview Community Center Board to state their reasons for their appeal. The Community Center Board’s decision is final.
