Committee Charter

Responsibilities:
Here to coordinate efforts of the homeowner and the review committee to maintain high standards of architectural integrity in the neighborhood to enhance property value.     
Goals of the Committee:
  1. Provide a core group to review and approve or deny modification requests
  2. Make the standards clear and uniform for all homeowners.
  3. Clarify and streamline the approval process
  4. Add a FAQ section to this page
  5. Have events to encourage and inform homeowners on improving their homes
​Why have an Architecture Design and Review Committee?  In Covenants Article 7.3.b it says that “No exterior esthetic change” can be made without first obtaining prior written approval of developer or its designee (e.g. HOA, Architecture and Design Review Committee or our Management Company).  You can read the architectural restrictions/standards for yourself in the covenants posted on this website. Look under “HOA Resources” and click on the title “Seven Lakes Covenants and Restrictions” to review or download the document. The majority of these guidelines are under Article 7 and there are some under Article 11.1.

Our Seven Lakes community has grown to 235 homes; therefore, the need for approvals and oversight is also growing.
