To help assure your submittal is complete, please use the attached CRHOA Plan Submittal Checklist and comply with CRHOA Required Survey and Slope Band Analysis.

EXPEDITED ARCHITECT REVIEW:

As an option, for an increased fee, the CRHOA architects will review the plans and provide comments to you in advance of the first review of the plans by the ARC. If the plans are nonconforming, the architects will work with you or your representative on a one-time basis to assist you in bringing the plans into conformance. Plans need to be resubmitted as outlined above.

Your submittal must still be reviewed and an approval granted or denied by the ARC at its next schedule meeting. You will receive a written response after the ARC meeting.

THE FOLLOWING IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO BY OWNER(s)/APPLICANT(s):

1. An increase of the existing structure’s square footage by 50% or more, or alteration or demolition of more than 50% of the existing exterior walls, requires that all elements of the property (including hedges, fences, walls and gates, pool, HVAC and other equipment) be brought into conformance with the current Architectural Guidelines.

2. Substantial construction with intent to diligently complete the job must begin within one (1) year from the date of approval. Otherwise, the approval expires unless an extension is requested in writing and granted.

3. A set of plans stamped and approved by the CRHOA must be kept on the job site for inspection by the Association’s representatives and/or any interested owner(s) of property in the tracts.

4. Any deviation from or alteration to the approved drawings and specifications during construction or at any time thereafter renders the approval null and void. Any deviation from the Architectural Guidelines must be specifically noted and called out in the submission package.

5. The Architectural Review Committee* (“ARC”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to periodically inspect the project without prior notice. The owner understands that any such inspection does not relieve the owner of the duty to comply with the Association’s Architectural Guidelines and with all applicable Building & Fire Codes.

6. Unless the approved drawings and specifications show the location of, and specifications for, fences, walls, gates, hedges, and other hardscaping and landscaping, or other structures of any kind, you are required to submit drawings and specifications in duplicate (and the appropriate fee) and obtain CRHOA written approval before constructing or installing any or all of them.

7. Submit a certified Foundation/Staking Survey to the ARC prior to the excavation of the foundation.

8. Submit a certified Framing Survey to the ARC upon completion of the framing showing the elevations of the first floor, roof and top of structure.

9. Neither the ARC’s consent to the Project nor any inspection of it shall give rise to any liability by the Association, the ARC, or its representatives. The owner agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Association, its officers, directors, ARC members, employees, consultants, and agents from claims arising from the Project or its approval or inspection by the ARC.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: 

Unless the parties agree to arbitration or mediation as provided for in Civil Code §1354, any dispute involving enforcement or interpretation of the Association’s Governing Documents or which arises in connection with the management or operation of the Association shall be heard by a judicial reference (“Referee”) without a jury pursuant to the provisions of Section 638 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the parties cannot agree on a Referee, one shall be appointed by the Court in accordance with Section 640 of the Code of Civil Procedure. All issues shall be determined in compliance with the judicial rules, statutory and decisional law, and rules of evidence of the State of California. Discovery shall be limited to depositions and requests for the inspection, production and copying of documents. Depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days’ written notice. Request for production or inspection of documents shall be responded to within ten (10) days after service. The cost of the Referee shall be shared equally between the parties. However, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The judgment shall be subject to all post-trial procedures and appeals.
