Architectural control in Cooks Valley is specified by the covenants to which all homeowners are bound, regardless of whether or not the homeowner is an association member. If you plan to make any changes to your property that are visible to one or more neighbors, you are bound by your covenants to have those changes approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC).

The following constitute changes to your property:

• Building an addition onto your home.
• Adding a retaining wall or terracing.
• Extending your driveway.
• Replacing your deck with one of a different design.
• Changing the color of your home.
• Adding a fence of any type.
• Changing the landscaping, especially hard-scapes.
• Installing a satellite dish.

The following do not constitute a change to your property:

• Remodeling the inside of your home.
• Replacing a retaining wall or terracing with one of identical design.
• Repairing your driveway.
• Replacing your deck with one of an identical design.
• Repainting your home, using the same color.
• Repairing a fence.

Rule of thumb: If you are not making substantial changes to your home (same color, landscaping, etc.), you do not need approval.
