TOWNE POINT OWNERS ASSOCIATION
REVISION OF RULES AND REGULATIONS/GUIDELINES
ARCHITECTURAL COMMITTEE November 2009
PURPOSE: The purpose of these rules is to help ensure an orderly and well managed manufactured home subdivision to protect our neighborhood and the investment in our homes and property.
We hope all residents will be considerate of their neighbors and abide by these guidelines in the spirit intended to preserve the peace and quiet and enjoyment of our homes. The rules are intended to be consistent with the Property Use and Development Agreement (PUD); The Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Record (CC &R's); the Bylaws; and the City and County building codes currently in effect. All construction projects shall conform to these instruments.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS APPROVAL PROCESS: All new construction project proposals will be submitted by the owner, developer, or contractor to the Architectural committee, in 3 copies, including the plans specifications of any house, fence outbuilding or other structure to be permanently installed on the property, prior to construction or installation, for approval. A site plan or sketch of the property, including location of corners will be included. The committee will review the proposal to ensure that construction is consistent with the general plan of development for Towne Point, as spelled out in the PUD agreement.
The committee will conduct on-site reviews as needed in a reasonable time frame, and not unnecessarily hold up work. Proposals will be reviewed by the committee and returned as approved or rejected within 10 days. If changes are needed the committee will be as specific as possible about needed changes.
PROPERTY CORNERS: Prior to construction, or any on site review, property comers will be staked so that fences are properly located and set backs for improvements are adhered to. If you need help in locating corners, the committee may be able to help.
MANUFACTURED HOMES: All homes placed in the Subdivision shall be multi – sectional manufactured homes meeting HUD codes, built after 1978, and shall be at least 900 square feet in size, exclusive of garages, carports, patios, porches and breezeways.
ADDITIONS TO EXISTING HOMES: Any additions or changes to the basic rectangle of the original home that alters the home structure or is weight bearing to the main building, must be inspected and approved by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industry according to state law. Applications and further information are available from the State L and I office in Port Angeles.
RAIN GUTTERS: All roofed structures shall have rain gutters with down spouts installed. Rain water may not be diverted onto adjacent property. If necessary, drain spouts will be directed to dry wells or run to a designated drain area or storm sewer.
