Examples requiring approval include, but are not limited to: changes to exterior house colors, shutters, new roof, addition of living or garage / storage space, pools, patios, fences, installation of solar panels, radio towers, visible satellite dishes or electrical / mechanical equipment and cables, tree removal, or significant changes to the landscaping in your yard.
