Architectural Review

The covenants of the homes within Springfield Oaks require the establishment of an Architectural Review Committee, the purpose of which is to enforce the community's architectural covenants.  The Committee achieves this goal by recommending architectural standards based on the covenants for adoption by the board of directors, by ensuring that all homes within Springfield Oaks are inspected on an annual basis for compliance, and by hearing disputes by owners that disagree with the Committee's actions.  Ultimately, owners may appeal decisions of the Committee to the board of directors.

As a practical matter, Committee members review applications by owners to add decks, sheds, or otherwise alter their property (here's the application, also called the Architectural Control Form ); work with certain owners to ensure compliance; and hold hearings on violations of the covenants and architectural standards.  Committee members do not conduct the annual home inspections for architectural compliance; rather, the Committee has delegated this authority to the management firm.  Nevertheless, the Committee oversees these inspections.
