ARC Request General ConditionsThe Brandon Hall Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions requires that submittal and approval of this Application is needed prior to beginning any construction, installation, or alteration to the exterior of your house or lot. This includes painting, roofing, landscaping, patios, decks, fencing, driveways, pools, play equipment, and other additions or modifications. Every Brandon Hall homeowner is subject to these covenants. The homeowner is responsible for proper drainage and any problem which may occur on a neighbor’s lot resulting from your drainage changes. Carefully scrutinize all drainage plans and consult a drainage professional. Though neighbor approval is not required, depending on the improvement, the Association may solicit your neighbors regarding your submission and consider their input as part of the review process. Forsyth County may require plan review or permits for certain types of improvements. The homeowner is solely responsible for fulfilling any review, permit or code requirements. County approval does not constitute Brandon Hall approval. Copies of said approvals must be submitted once received by the County. The ARC has 45 days from submission date to approve or deny the modification request, but the ARC does usually respond promptly if all required information is provided. Please understand that a fine in the amount of $500.00 will be assessed to the account should a modification take place without prior approval from the Association. Any changes to approved modifications must be resubmitted for review. Failure to do so will VOID the original approval. All modifications must begin within 6 months of approval and be completed within 120 days of the start date or modifications must be resubmitted.
