Revisions and Additions:

The guidelines and the review process relate to any new,

expanded or renovated landscape and site improvements.

The homeowner is responsible for submitting updated

plans for all future landscape and site changes to the

Architectural Review Committee (ARC) for approval.

Common changes and updates such as storage sheds,

playgrounds, sports equipment, overflow parking and/or

the addition of fencing or the change in storage building

colors all require review and approval.

Maintenance: The homeowner and or current residents

are responsible for maintaining the landscape in a neat

and healthy

condition at all

times per page 9 of

the Homeowner

Design Guidelines.

Maintenance

includes the

replacement of

dead or damaged

plants.

All maintenance

equipment is to be

stored inside or

screened from

neighborhood

views.

Step-4 With your plans complete, submit to

the ARC for Review and Approval.

There is a $35 submittal fee for the

landscape and site review.

Welcome to Meadowbrook Crossing!

As you know, Meadowbrook Crossing is a covenant controlled

community. All homes are required to adhere to the covenants

that were adopted in order to protect and enhance the quality,

value, desirability and attractiveness of our community.

The community has design guidelines in support of the

covenants which include landscape design, fence standards and

structure types such as sheds, decks, etc. that need approval

prior to installation. All are provided to assure a basic

consistency for the neighborhood. The landscape and fencing

standards have been

provided to minimize

harsh contrasts in the

landscape while

allowing for flexibility

to adapt to individual

lots and personal

taste.

This handout is

provided to assist the

homeowner with the

initial steps of

submitting,

implementing and

obtaining

approval of their new

landscape.

Step-1 With the closing and moving into your

new home, contact your selected

landscape contractor or designer to

review the covenants and landscape

design guidelines. Determine a

schedule to meet the 6 month

Design Guideline submittal date.

Step-3 On your site plan, identify the location

& setbacks of the proposed fencing

and/or accessory structure.
