The homeowner may not begin construction until provided with an approval.

The HOAAC may make recommendations to the Board of Directors upon notice from the Property Manager or person of violations, or possible violations of the Rules and Regulations. Any modification, alteration or addition to the Lot or to the exterior of the dwelling without prior written approval of the HOAAC shall constitute a violation.

For failure to comply, fines will be assessed in accordance with those procedures and schedules established by the Board of Directors in Section III, Penalties, of the Rules and Regulations.
