What is "ARC"?

 

                  ARC stands for Architectural Review Committee.

 

 

The ARC is a committee who help oversee the ARC standards and facilitate neighbor requests for changes to their property that fall within the ARC guidelines.

 

When do I need to submit an ARC request?

You need to submit an ARC request PRIOR to starting any work on your property that requires ARC approval. Please keep in mind that ARC approval can take up to 45 days depending on the time of submittal and the schedule of the next board meeting. If proper documentation is not supplied, the ARC will request additional information, which could prolong the turnaround time of the request.

 

What requires ARC approval?

Animal Enclosures Driveways & Driveway Extensions Fences/Wing Walls/Screening Paint & Siding – if not a pre-approved color the following does not require prior approval, but have guidelines and general restrictions for installation (please see ARC guidelines for additional information): Playground Equipment, Playhouses Covered or Uncovered Storage Structures.

Who do I contact for help if I have questions? You can call the Association office at 952-448-4700 or download the documents from the website at www.jonathaninchaska.com .

 

What kind of documentation do I need to include in my ARC request?

Name, address, and general contact information, the type of improvement/change, as much information as you can. Please refer to the guidelines for additional details for specific information based on the type of request – the more information you provide, the quicker we can process the request.

 

Do I need to attend a board meeting when I submit my ARC request?

No, you do not need to attend a meeting. In fact, the ARC likes to review the data, take a look the property, and ensure that we take all items into consideration so an immediate answer will not be possible. However neighbors are always welcome at the Board meetings but an immediate response to a request will not be possible.

 

What if my request is rejected?

Should your application be rejected by ARC, you have the right to appeal your case to the Board of Directors of The Jonathan Association.

 

What if my request is approved?

Generally you will be given one year to complete the project. Please note, approval from ARC does not include approval from any state, local, or city governances. Those must be obtained as well before completing any and all projects where required.
