All exterior construction requires Architecture Committee Approval. Whether raising a wall, changing a gate or front door, or window, changing a lamp in front, adding an extension, building a BBQ in your back yard, etc. contact ✉ Bill Page at to gain approval for your project before starting work. If you cannot reach Bill, you can call Chris Bruyn at AME Management to get the necessary forms to submit. Approvals are given in the shortest possible time.
As more homes in SMVE are sold and new owners move in, we have had an increase in interior remodeling. Most new homeowners have been very cooperative and have requested the “Rules for Contractors,” which the contractors read and sign, stating that they are aware of our rules and agree to follow them. This results in many fewer complaints of roads and driveways being blocked, avoids visible portable toilets, dumpsters, etc. Neighbors are much more amenable to the less disruptive improvements to the neighborhood.
The most common request to the Architecture Committee is for a copy of the Approved Paint Colors. You can always find the current list of approved paint colors on our website at http://smve.org/approved-paint-colors. The approved list for 2015 is attached to this newsletter; please print it and put it in a place where you can find it when needed.
Cherry Landscape can trim the vegetation behind your rear wall to improve your views, at your expense. Contact ✉ Bill Page at or ✉ Joe Steiner at to get the forms and set up an appointment for a quote for the work.
A representative of Cherry Landscape will contact you to set up an appointment to learn the scope of the work you wish done and quote you a price to do it. If you agree to the quote from a representative of Cherry Landscape, they will set up a date (convenient to you) to have the work done. They have been very reasonable and have done fine work.
For both Architectural requests or tree trimming, if you cannot reach either ✉ Bill Page or ✉ Joe Steiner, call Chris Bruyn at AME Management to get started.
Have great summer!
